What the Bible says about Abundance of Your Trading
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Ezekiel 28:16 "By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within" is difficult to understand in terms of angelic beings, but it shows a measure of competition. He certainly began to be in competition with God. Not being content with his position, he began to compete with God, and it filled him with violence and sin. The attitude of competition, once it is taken too far, becomes violent. The only way a person can win is by beating down his adversary. Richard T.
