Professor: Rushdoony Dr. R.J.R.
Subject: Systematic Theology
Genre: Speech
Lesson: 14 of 19
Track: #14
Year:
Dictation Name: 14 The Cherubim
[Rushdoony] Let us worship God. Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth, thus saith the high and lofty One who inhabiteth eternity whose name is holy. I dwell in the high and holy place with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit; to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite. If thou shalt seek the Lord Thy God Thou shalt find Him, If thou seek Him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Let us pray.
Oh Lord our God who art the author of all things and in terms of whose will and purpose all things move. We thank Thee that by Thy sovereign grace Thou hast made us a part of Thine eternal purpose. Give us grace therefore so to walk day by day that our eyes may ever be fixed where Thy true purpose is to be found, in Christ our Lord. Bless us this day and always and grant that our hearts and minds be open to Thy word, and that by Thy Spirit we may be made strong in Thee. In Jesus name, Amen
Our scripture the morning is from Ezekiel 28:11-19, and our subject as we continue our studies in the doctrine of authority is The Cherubim. Ezekiel 28:11-19
“11 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
In the hands of fallen man things depreciate, not only things but words also. This is certainly true of the key word in our text, cherubim and cherub, cherubim is the plural of Cherub. The idea we have now days of cherubs or cherubim is of little baby-like angelic things flitting around on picture post cards and Christmas cards, totally without meaning; just beautiful little objects. Nothing could be further from the truth.
