so could it be said that "Satan/adversary" is anyone who exalts themselves to an illegitimate position of authority, making themselves an enemy of God?
precious jewels were on the garment of the high priest
precious jewels are the adornment of the bride of Christ
to exalt yourself to a position that is contrary to God's authority makes you an adversary, enemy of God
(For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
And we are not to adorn ourselves because God is the one who adorns us)
Ezekiel 28 English Standard Version (ESV)
12 “Son of man, raise a lamentation over the
king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God:
“You were the signet of perfection,[a]
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
every precious stone was your covering,
sardius, topaz, and diamond,
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,[b] emerald, and carbuncle;
and crafted in gold were your settings
and your engravings.[c]
On the day that you were created
they were prepared.
14 You were an anointed guardian cherub.
I placed you;[d] you were on the holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
15 You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created,
till unrighteousness was found in you.
16 In the abundance of your trade
you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,
and I destroyed you,[e] O guardian cherub,
from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Your heart was proud because of your beauty;
you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
I exposed you before kings,
to feast their eyes on you.
18 By the multitude of your iniquities,
in the unrighteousness of your trade
you profaned your sanctuaries;
so I brought fire out from your midst;
it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes on the earth
in the sight of all who saw you.
19 All who know you among the peoples
are appalled at you;
you have come to a dreadful end
and shall be no more forever.”
