Ezekiel 28:13-20

    "You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering:
         The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; the beryl, the onyx and the jasper;
         The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; and the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets,
         was in you. On the day that you were created they were prepared. 
    You were the anointed cherub who covers,  and I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God;
         You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. You were blameless in your ways
         From the day you were created, Until unrighteousness was found in you. 
    By the abundance of your trade you were internally filled with violence,
         And you sinned; therefore I have cast you as profane from the mountain of God.
         And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 
    Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor
         I cast you to the ground.  I put you before kings, that they may see you. 
    By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade
         you profaned your sanctuary. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you.
         It has consumed you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth
         In the eyes of all who see you. 
    All who know you among the peoples Are appalled at you;
         You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever."

Many Bible scholars believe this is a description of Lucifer, God's beautiful creation, after his heart became proud and desired to exalt himself above God.
Also these scriptures in Asaiah 14 also reveal part of the mystery of angelic heavenly activity before God created man.

Isaiah 14:12-15
"How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn!
  You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! 
  But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven;
 I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly
 In the recesses of the north. 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
 I will make myself like the Most High.' Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol,
 To the recesses of the pit."

Deception is a powerful force in this seductive world in which we live.
I believe that if the word of God is not abiding in us to establish truth, we can easily become deceived by the
advertisements of the world that tell us more is better, or to live life to the fullest, and go after all the gusto you
can get only to find that at the end of your beer you are still empty. No matter how much of the world you have tried to stuff into your bodily vessel, it will never satisfy the longing in you for a purpose. Most of us who are living in our self-inflicted pain of disgust are also trying to fill the void with worldy pleasures or activites that we think will make the pain go away. All of this is self-deception, because we have not yielded to the truth of God's word, that says that we can be free from the bondages that these worldy ideas create.
In my book, "Are You Saved or Deceived?" I challenge the reader to yield to the word of God that expresses the will of God, that will remove the blindness from your heart and mind, and how it can set you free from the world's devices of deception.
