Here is a link to the full chapter for reading and for audio: http://jehovah-is-king.com/satans-throne/
I thought I would kick off a review of Chapter 15 by quoting Robert King from the beginning of Chapter 15, which includes scripture too. It appears to me that even though everything seems to be moving slowly to Jehovah’s Day, it does appear to be speeding up in the badness that we see daily.
”Just as all the nations of the earth are likened to symbolic trees planted in the Garden of Eden, Jehovah’s forest of treelike nations has an appointed overseer, as did Eden originally. The overseer of nations in Ezekiel’s prophecy is the king of Tyre, of whom Ezekiel 28:13-14 says: “You were in Eden, the garden of God. You were adorned with every precious stone —Ruby, topaz, and jasper; chrysolite, onyx, and jade; sapphire, turquoise, and emerald; and their settings and mountings were made of gold. They were prepared on the day you were created. I assigned you as the anointed covering cherub. You were on the holy mountain of God, and you walked about among fiery stones.”
While it is evident that Jehovah was referring to Satan the Devil before his rebellion, why does God link the king of Tyre with the anointed cherub of Eden? The answer has to do with the fact that the real rulers of our world are not human at all. Jesus and his enlightened apostles revealed that wicked spirits in heavenly places are the real authorities and principalities that have dominated this wicked system of things since Adam and Eve listened to the lying cherub of Eden.”
