The game is a foot..... on his head
One big question that comes to my mind, is this
anointed cherub that covers (son of God) crazy? Going up against the
Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent being. Nobody, not even the other sons of
God have peered behind the curtain, to fully comprehend the who of GOD. The
LORD has said talking to Moses in the book of Exodus 33:20 "But you may
not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live.” In the book of
John 1:18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself
God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. I can appreciate
the push back in this by people saying, but the Angels were allowed to look
upon his face, they could appear before GOD. They had access during
pre-appointed times to stand before him in his presence this does not mean they
saw his face, the book of Isaiah 6:2 says they covered their faces. They went to GOD in a similar fashion to what
the High Priest of Israel did, but he was only allowed to enter the Holy of
Holies once a year and with a blood sacrifice. Here is a quandary, the Man and
Woman let us call them Adam, were created as image bearers of GOD. Before the
fall they were the definition of innocence, they were smart, able, but they
were less powerful than the Angels. As we can see from garden interaction, they
were easily manipulated and naïve. They were as pronounced by God himself made
in “our image” like God and the sons of God, the reflection of the creator. The
anointed cherub that covers looked at this image of the Divine and was not
impressed he only saw weakness and thought that it should be him ruling and
receiving worship. I believe Lucifer is still not sure what he's dealing with
though, how powerful is GOD? The only thing that was evident after garden
incident is the Snake was punished, the Man and woman were going to experience
death and all their offspring after them (both physical and spiritual
separation), and the plans remain uncovered. Despite this terrible event in
His-story GOD prophesied, had pre-planned that from the woman a savior will
come. Lucifer's next move would be to try an eliminate any possibility of a
savior through their offspring. A plan was needed, but one that would avoid any
direct involvement or remove anything that would implicate the mastermind. A
side note that often gets skipped here is there was no obvious ruler for earth at this
point. I am speaking specifically of a ruler under GOD to take over. Adam was
no longer in that position. Why is this important? When we jump ahead in
His-story, In the wilderness encounter between Jesus and the devil, keeping in
mind the Holy Spirit lead him there, this was encounter of GOD's choosing. The
anointed cherub makes Jesus an offer, we see in the book of Matthew 4:9 the
devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain and showed Him all the
kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things
I will give You if You fall down and worship me.” The interesting thing here
is, yes, the Devil is the Father of lies, but remember you cannot offer up
something do not possess. So, at some point after the fall of Adam the cherub
is made the ruler/guardian of the earth under GOD. The GOoD news is Jesus
passed the test and won, after the cross and resurrection day ‘the foot’ is now
resting on that old Serpent's head bruised, but victorious.
