The battle between the Seed of the Serpent and the Seed of the Woman is a battle between two similar kinds. Satan was the ‘Chief Cherub that covereth‘, He was of the order of the ‘Serephim‘, the burning ones, in fact he was ruler of them all as ‘Chief Cherub that covereth’.
If you remember Moses made a bronze serpent and all who looked upon it (seeing with the eyes) would be healed. Of course that is a picture of Yeshua as Chief Priest of the order of Melchizedek who would pay the price for sin by the sacrifice of himself as the lamb of God.
Within the tree of life is the Mashiach, משיח
Numeric value 358
Within the tree of knowledge is the Nachash, נחש
Numeric value 358 also!
Yeshua the Messiah, or in Hebrew, Mashiach, משיח, has the same numeric value, נחש, as Serpent, Nachash, נחש. So of course Yeshua the Messiah also is the high priest of the order of Melchizedek that is the serpent that is lifted between heaven and earth in order to deal with sin. He overcomes sin and Satan on behalf of His people. The Messiah has the aspect of a serpent that can deal with another serpent, Satan. Just like Moses and Aaron’s serpent swallowed up Pharaoh’s serpents.
The anointed Cherub that Covereth – Ezekiel 28
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.
Ezekiel 28:12-16
12 בֶּן־אָדָם שָׂא קִינָה עַל־מֶלֶךְ צֹור וְאָמַרְתָּ לֹּו כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה אַתָּה חֹותֵם תָּכְנִית מָלֵא חָכְמָה וּכְלִיל יֹפִי׃
13 בְּעֵדֶן גַּן־אֱלֹהִים הָיִיתָ כָּל־אֶבֶן יְקָרָה מְסֻכָתֶךָ אֹדֶם פִּטְדָה וְיָהֲלֹם תַּרְשִׁישׁ שֹׁהַם וְיָשְׁפֵה סַפִּיר נֹפֶךְ וּבָרְקַת וְזָהָב מְלֶאכֶת תֻּפֶּיךָ וּנְקָבֶיךָ בָּךְ בְּיֹום הִבָּרַאֲךָ כֹּונָנוּ׃
14 אַתְּ־כְּרוּב מִמְשַׁח הַסֹּוכֵךְ וּנְתַתִּיךָ בְּהַר קֹדֶשׁ אֱלֹהִים הָיִיתָ בְּתֹוךְ אַבְנֵי־אֵשׁ הִתְהַלָּכְתָּ׃
15 תָּמִים אַתָּה בִּדְרָכֶיךָ מִיֹּום הִבָּרְאָךְ עַד־נִמְצָא עַוְלָתָה בָּךְ׃
16 בְּרֹב רְכֻלָּתְךָ מָלוּ תֹוכְךָ חָמָס וַתֶּחֱטָא וָאֶחַלֶּלְךָ מֵהַר אֱלֹהִים וָאַבֶּדְךָ כְּרוּב הַסֹּכֵךְ מִתֹּוךְ אַבְנֵי־אֵשׁ׃
verse 13 – In Eden, the Garden of God
verse 13 – 3 stones less than Israel
Let’s compare the stones on Lucifer’s breastplate with those of the Levitical High Priest.
The following is taken from this website
http://www.geocities.com/rebornempowered/priesthood/ch3.htm
“The three stones missing on Lucifer’s covering was the Ligure, the Agate and the Amethyst. Which three sons of Jacob did these three stones correspond to, and what was the meaning? Again, we saw from Exodus that each of the stones on the breastplate of the priest correspond to one of each of the twelve sons of Jacob:“
“The order of the sons of Jacob is established in Genesis 49, and the order of the gemstones is established in Exodus 28:“
“And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes. “
Exodus 28:21
21 וְהָאֲבָנִים תִּהְיֶיןָ עַל־שְׁמֹת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה עַל־שְׁמֹתָם פִּתּוּחֵי חֹותָם אִישׁ עַל־שְׁמֹו
תִּֽהְיֶיןָ לִשְׁנֵי עָשָׂר שָֽבֶט׃
17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones:
Exodus 28:17-20
the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.
18 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
20 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
וּמִלֵּאתָ בֹו מִלֻּאַת אֶבֶן אַרְבָּעָה טוּרִים אָבֶן טוּר אֹדֶם פִּטְדָה וּבָרֶקֶת הַטּוּר הָאֶחָד׃
18 וְהַטּוּר הַשֵּׁנִי נֹפֶךְ סַפִּיר וְיָהֲלֹם׃
19 וְהַטּוּר הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לֶשֶׁם שְׁבֹו וְאַחְלָמָה׃
20 וְהַטּוּר הָרְבִיעִי תַּרְשִׁישׁ וְשֹׁהַם וְיָשְׁפֵה מְשֻׁבָּצִים זָהָב יִהְיוּ בְּמִלּוּאֹתָם׃
Hebrew אֹדֶם פִּטְדָה יָהֲלֹם תַּרְשִׁישׁ שֹׁהַם יָשְׁפֵה סַפִּיר נֹפֶךְ בָרְקַת | Lucifer’s Stones (Ezekiel 28:13) Sardius Topaz Carbuncle Beryl Onyx Jasper Sapphire Emerald Diamond | Levitical priest stones (Exodus 28:21) Sardius Topaz Carbuncle Beryl Onyx Jasper Sapphire Emerald Diamond Ligure Agate Amethyst |
In Genesis 49, Jacob was prophesying over each of his twelve sons. The three stones missing from Lucifer’s covering, as seen above, correspond with Gad, Asher and Issachar. Looking at the prophecies spoken over each of these three sons, we see something amazing regarding WHY Lucifer was PURPOSELY not given these stones:
1. Gad:
Gen 49:19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
MEANING: Lucifer would never be an overcomer, and he will not overcome at the last.
2. Asher:
Gen 49:20 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
MEANING: Lucifer would never yield anything royal, including a royal seed.
3. Issachar:
Gen 49:14 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
MEANING: Lucifer would never be able to bear anyone’s burden.
When God formed Lucifer in the beginning of time, he left off this third row of stones, long before the sons of Jacob were born. He put limitations on him from the beginning, and in the process, God said, “Lucifer, you’re never going to be an overcomer, you will never produce any royal seed, and you will never bear anyone’s burden!”So, from the description in Ezekiel 28, it appears that in the beginning, Lucifer was created as a priest offering a sacrifice of praise and worship through the tabrets and pipes created within his physical structure. He would come before the presence of God in the holy mountain, walking among the stones of fire, bringing the angels and giving God glory, praise and honor. Because of his beauty, however, he was lifted up with pride, and he fell.

O Lucifer, son of the morning!
how art thou cut down to the ground,
which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart,
I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation,
in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell,
to the sides of the pit.
