I don't know everything, neither does anyone here.
The following is to the "king of Tyrus". Whoever he is:
1. He was perfect in beauty.
Ezekiel 28:12 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.
2. He was in Eden, the garden of God.
3. He was covered, not necessarily with flesh but with precious stone.
4. He had a built-in musical instrument in him.
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.
5. He was the anointed cherub that covereth. (Then he can not be a king in Tyrus living during the time of the prophets.)
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.
6. He was perfect when he was created.
7. He was found to have iniquity later. (How long? 1 day? 5 days?)
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
8. He had a multitude of merchandise.
(How long? With whom? With Adam?Where? In heaven? Or in Eden? Where is Eden? In Heaven or In earth? When was the time we had Eden? Is there only one Eden? Is this the one who said "I will ascend into heaven?)
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.
Notice that he had merchandise BEFORE he sinned.
9. His heart was lifted up and wisdom was corrupted. (How long did it take for him to be corrupted? Instantly? in 5 days? or longer?)
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.
Is this "king of Tyrus" the same as "Lucifer, son of the morning" (Isa. 14)?
Is he one of the "morning stars" who shouted for joy when the earth was created in Genesis 1:1?
How long did it take for him to rebel against his creator?
