SEAL 4
HUMAN BEINGS BEFORE ADAM AND EVE .P4
TRADE TO RUIN
Ezekiel 28:5-16 ties the knot: “Your wisdom in trade piled riches, your heart swelled” (v5). “Trading stuffed you with violence, sin spiked” (v16). Lucifer, the sea merchant, ruled wealth—cunning as Genesis’ serpent. “Cunning” (arum) in Genesis 3:1 pops as “prudent” in Proverbs—shrewd, sharp. Ezekiel 28:3 doubles down: “Wiser than Daniel.” No angel-man gap—just titan of trade outsmarting each other . Lucifer’s fall? Wealth of knowledge bred pride, pride bred ruin—a human yarn spun poetic.
