[QUOTE="food4thought, post: 59788433, member: 3467"] These passages in Isaiah and Ezekiel are primarily about the pagan Kings that are named, yet certain aspects of these passages seem to go beyond the mere mortal kings and describe the power behind them (crosss reference Daniel 10). Skip forward to Revelation and we find another world ruler who will be empowered by Satan, called the Beast that rises up from the sea (Revelation 13). The passages in Isaiah and Ezekiel are truly primarily directed at the kings, but in the midst of this God gives us a glimpse behind the scenes to see the demonic forces that were at work behind the kings (as demonstrated in Daniel 10), and in associating these forces with the fall of these kings assures the believers that eventually even these demonic powers will fall. We see the consumation of this promise in Revelation, but it is plain from reading Daniel 10 that the OT prophets understood there to be demonic forces operating behind the scenes in these pagan kingdoms. It is not a new modern understanding of these OT passages, but an old one that has perhaps been rediscovered. Hope this helps you understand. [/QUOTE]
