യേശുവിന്‍റെ ബാഹ്യരൂപത്തെക്കുരിച്ചുള്ള ഒരേകദേശ ചിത്രം ആകെകൂടെ തിരുവചനത്തിലുള്ളത് ,ഏശയ്യാ പ്രവാചകന്‍റെ പുസ്ഥകത്തിലാണ്.
ഏശയ്യാ 53 : (2 -12 ) ശ്രദ്ധാര്‍ഹമായ രൂപഭംഗിയോ ഗാംഭീര്യമോ ആകര്‍ഷകമായ സൗന്ദര്യമോ അവനുണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല. വന്‍ മനുഷ്യരാല്‍ നീന്ദിക്കപ്പെടുകയും ഉപേക്ഷിക്കപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്തു. അവന്‍ വേദനയും ദുഖവും നിറഞ്ഞവനായിരുന്നു. അവനെ കണ്ടവര്‍ മുഖംതിരിച്ചുകളഞ്ഞു. ...... cont.....
ഞാന്‍ തന്നെയാണ് യേശുവെന്ന് പിടിക്കാന്‍ വന്ന പടയളികളോട്, സ്വയം പരിചയപ്പെടുത്തേണ്ടിവന്നതായി , യോഹന്നാന്‍റെ സുവിശേഷത്തിലും, യൂദാസ് ചുംബനത്തീലൂടെ പരിചയപ്പെടുത്തുന്നതായി മത്തായിയും മര്‍ക്കോസും ലൂക്കായും രേഖപ്പെടുത്തുന്നു. ഇന്ന്നമ്മള്‍ ധരിച്ചുവേച്ചിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലൊരു രൂപത്തിലായിരുന്നെങ്കില്‍ ഇതിന്‍റെയൊന്നും ആവശ്യമില്ലായിരുന്നു. ഇതില്‍നിന്നെല്ലാം മനസിലാകുന്നത്, ലോകദൃഷ്ട്ടിയില്‍ ശരാശരിയില്‍ താഴെമാത്രം സൗന്ദര്യമുണ്ടായിരുന്ന സാധാരണക്കാരില്‍ സാധാരണക്കാരനായ ഒരു പച്ചമനുഷ്യനായിരുന്നു. സൗന്ദര്യം ദൈവീകമല്ല എന്ന് തെളിയുന്നത് , സാത്താന്‍ ലോകദൃഷ്ട്ടിയില്‍ ഏറ്റം സൗന്ദര്യമുല്ലവനാണെന്ന് മനസിലാക്കുമ്പോഴാണ്.
A portrait of Satan and his personality are given by Eze. 28:11-19 and Isa. 14:12-17.
Eze. 28:11-19
“‘You were the seal of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden,
the garden of God;
every precious stone adorned you:
carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,
topaz, onyx and jasper,
lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl.[a]
Your settings and mountings[b] were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared.
14 You were anointed as a guardian cherub,
for so Iordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
15 You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.
16 Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, guardian cherub,
from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.
19 All the nations who knew you
are appalled at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.’
