Was God surprised?

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

A Lament over the King of Tyre
…14You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for I had ordained you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the fiery stones. 15From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways— until wickedness was found in you. 16By the vastness of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and I banished you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.…

Is anyone surprised when their child first intentionally misbehaves ?

It is not really possible that God didn't suspect that such a thing would happen at some point, right ?

I believed he was surprised, as was Lucifer by God's response.

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

I’m wondering if He was surprised that the snake could talk?

 

[Jesus is my Superhero]

I like where Jesus saw him fall like lightning from Heaven.

All of this is a tragedy though. (Sad)

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

I’m also wondering the distance between knocking on heavens door and the gates of hell not prevailing. I think that’s the grey area.

It's about the King of Tyre, not Satan.

Yah it doesn’t specify that’s a garden scene. Do you think God was surprised that the serpent spoke or do you think that what became the dragon was entitled to inhabit animals before mankind was placed in the garden?

It's about the king of Tyre spoken in metaphoric terms. You are twisting and adding to scripture by saying it is Satan. Read the whole passage and see if this is not true.

I’m admitting that the quote was the wrong scripture to reference to the question but the contrast is what makes me ask. I don’t know who found iniquity in the King of Tyre but the questions did God know the snake could talk? I don’t think He did, but it’s speculation either way.

It's not what the passage says.

Try answering the question instead.

How would you guide the question?

Ezekiel 28:11 Does it speak of the King of Tyre or Satan? It speaks of the King of Tyre using metaphors to describe his magnificence.

I’m sure there’s still enough ice left on antarctica until we find out for sure.

It speaks of Lucifer using the King of Tyrus as a metaphor/type.

Yes it is about Satan. He was.. is full of wisdom beautiful and walked in the garden. Was God surprised? Everything that is and held together by GOD. All those .. calculations He does every .. a second is to slow. I am always asking Him.. you didn't know what Satan was about to do? You didn't know were Adam and Eve were? You didn't know they ate of the tree.. on and on. Can He I believe duh yet would I if I could... no.
