AND Weird Stuff in the Bible: Episode 10 


The Bible is clear about the importance of seeking wisdom. But will growing in wisdom actually get you any closer to heaven? We’ll talk about that in this special crossover episode.

  • Explore the mysterious prophecy in Ezekiel 28:1-10 that was given on January 8, 585 BC, and released on the exact 2,608th birthday of this prophecy in 2024 AD.
  • Dive into Ezekiel 28, one of the most peculiar chapters in the Bible, unraveling the backstory of the devil through the King of Tyre.


0:00 - Introduction

3:15 - Ezekiel 28, verses 1 through 10

11:20 - What is Wisdom?

13:05 - Evil, Wise People

20:30 - Wisdom is Not Enough


Verses 1-10, the Prince of Tyre:

  • Contextualize the prophecy within Ezekiel's messages to Gentile nations, focusing on Tyre's pride and impending judgment.
  • Examine the King of Tyre's arrogance, comparing himself to a god, accumulating wealth through wisdom, and the impending consequences.
  • Highlight the parallels between the King of Tyre and Satan, emphasizing the strange compliment of being "wise" despite evil intentions.

What is Wisdom?

  • Define wisdom as an understanding of how the world operates based on God's principles.
  • Emphasize the distinction between wisdom and virtue, showcasing examples of morally compromised yet wise figures like Solomon and the devil.

Evil, Wise People:

  • Explore Solomon's wisdom juxtaposed with moral failings, illustrating that wisdom alone does not ensure virtue.
  • Delve into the Bible's portrayal of the devil as "full of wisdom," questioning the apparent contradiction between wisdom and expulsion from heaven.
  • Highlight the Antichrist's foretold wisdom and success, reinforcing the idea that wisdom does not equate to moral goodness.


Closing Thoughts - Wisdom is not Enough:

  • Encourage listeners to subscribe for upcoming episodes addressing the devil's tactics and strategies to combat him.
  • Challenge the perception of the devil's intelligence, stressing the importance of relying on the Holy Spirit to resist him.
  • Conclude with a reminder that wisdom alone is insufficient in the spiritual battle against the devil, advocating for submission to God as the key to victory.
