Satan and The First Garden of Eden

6. Satan and The First Garden of Eden May I call your attention back to Isaiah 45:18 where God stated He "…created it (earth) not in vain (a waste or desolation), he formed it to be inhabited." To see how beautifully God had created the earth for the habitation of His angels, we find Ezekiel describes the earth as "…Eden the garden of God." In Ezekiel 28:13-14, its description is beautiful.

"Thou (Satan) 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 thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created." (13) "Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou has walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire." (14)

How marvelous and magnificent was God's earth that he created for the habitation of His angels as we know them today. As we have already seen from Job 38:4-7, the stars and the angels had already been created and in existence; and, then, God created the earth for their habitation.
