some 14 year old in a third world country that gets paid twenty pence a day come to mind. Add the cost of what they pay the 14 year old and the material that the shoes are made of and what do you come up with? Not £75. There are many more examples like this but I think you get the idea. Just be wiser than Satan and his friends and look for the best deals around. Satan's heart is lifted up because of his riches, but all it’s going to get him in the end is a one way ticket to burn in the Lake of fire.

 

Ezekiel 28:6 ‘Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;’

 

Satan who is an unjust liar among other things wanted to be God. Thank God, Who is just and does not lie, didn't let it happen. There is only one true God and that's the way it will always be.

 

Ezekiel 28:7 ‘Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.

The word "defile" is Strong's 2490 and means chalal (khaw-lal'); a primitive root [compare 2470]; properly, to bore, i.e. (by implication) to wound, to dissolve; figuratively, to profane (a person, place or thing), to break (one's word), to begin (as if by an "opening wedge"); denom. (from 2485) to play (the flute). The word "brightness" is Strong's 3314 and means yiph` ah (yif-aw'); from 3313; splendour or (figuratively) beauty: -brightness.

 

Ezekiel 28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.’

For those that think these verses are not talking about Satan, yiph' ah is only used twice. Here and in verse 17 where when read with the verses before it, it is very clear that it is talking about Satan.

The swords talked about here are the word of God. People will start to tell the truth about Satan and what his plans are which in turn will wound his brightness.

 

Ezekiel 28:9 ‘Wilt thou yet say before Him that slayeth thee, I am God? But thou shalt be a man, and no GOD, in the hand of Him that slayeth thee.’

Ezekiel 28:10.’ ‘Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.’

 

The 'Him' in verse nine is referring to Jesus Christ. Christ will end Satan's reign of unrighteousness when He returns at the Second Advent. Satan thinks that he is so big and bad but he is no match for Jesus Christ. Satan in due time will be killed and all that follow him also.

 

II Thessalonians 2:8 ‘And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming:’

 

Satan; the man of perdition, the abomination of desolation, the devil, will come first and sit in the newly built temple in Jerusalem pretending to be the spurious Messiah. But our Lord will soon deal with him on His return.

 

Revelation 20:10 ‘ And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.’

 

Revelation 20:15 ‘And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.’
