Here's a revealing about Satan in the world of old, before he rebelled against God:
Ezek 28:1-19
:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
You will discover from later verses here that God is giving a parable about Satan within this. He addresses the prince and king of Tyrus (Tyre), a pagan king who was over the rock island of Tyre, an ancient island fortress that existed off the coast of Lebanon. Alexander the Great was given to conquer it, but he couldn't do from the sea. It had double walls 150 feet high around it. Alexander had his men pile up dirt to form a land bridge out to it, which is how he attacked and conquered it, thus fulfilling God's promise to destroy Tyre and make it a place for fishermen casting their nets.
The word Tyrus means 'rock'. It's an appropriate nickname for Satan too, as in Deut.31 God calls him a little "rock" since Satan sinned in wanting to be GOD, The ROCK, and our ROCK. You will also notice Satan has both titles of a prince, and a king, in God's Word.
3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
The flesh prince of Tyrus wiser than Daniel? I don't think so. But would Satan be wiser than Daniel? Yes.
4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
Ah, that does suggest God is actually referring to Satan, and not only to the prince and king of Tyrus as types. The original first sin was Satan coveting God's Throne for himself, wanting to be The GOD. All other pagan kings of history follow that pattern as types.
7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
9 Wilt thou yet say before Him That slayeth thee, "I am God?" but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of Him That slayeth thee.
10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Remember Satan transforms himself as an angel of light (2 Cor.11). His title of Lucifer refers to his brightness. God says to him, "Will you say to Me Who will slay you, "I am God"?" That's Satan who first said he is GOD. Our Heavenly Father is going to show him he is "a man, and no God". Satan also has the image of man, as all the angels do.
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
This should become very plain God is speaking a parable about Satan himself. God created Satan the full pattern in His Image, perfect in beauty and full of wisdom.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
You know for sure now God is talking about Satan, for no flesh king or prince has ever been in "Eden the garden of God". But Satan has been there, and that's who this is about. Satan before he fell was covered in all these precious stones at God's Altar.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
A cherub is a Heavenly created being, not a flesh being. That is what Satan is, a cherub. God originally created him perfect in his ways, following and serving God at His Altar. That idea of covereth is about his duty as a covering cherub to guard God's Throne. Satan eventually coveted God's Throne which caused this present world and why our Lord Jesus was sent to die upon the cross for those who believe.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
KJV
Did you notice God already has pronounced His judgment upon him? God has not done that for any flesh born man yet, which is still another way to know He is referring to Satan here.
God has promised to turn Satan to ashes while he is upon the earth in sight of all that behold him. Do you know what that's about? That's about Satan being booted down to this earth in the last days, with his being locked in the pit when Jesus comes, and then his final destruction on earth after the 1,000 years of Rev.20. It's suggesting the "lake of fire" will be on earth in that time.
