Yes and also Isaiah chp 14 you’ll find a parallel passage.

Adrain Rodgers thought so. Modern scholars say no, even the conservative ones. The Prince of Tyre seemingly seems to be talking about Satan who was once named Lucifer.

No. There is no concept like the NT concept of satan in the OT. They didn’t even have an afterlife.

If it is about Satan then it certainly helps the annihilationists out a ton.
Vs 19b “you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.”

The Beast iof revelation, more a type of.

This page contains scriptures that are about Satan. (I’m not interested in debating. These are all simply scripture references. Please discuss them with God.)

Yes

Nope. Look at Ezekiel 28:2 and you’ll see it’s about the king or ruler of Tyre.

Yes.

Here is the beginning of verse 12:
“Son of man, take up a lament for the king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says . . .”
This is verse 2:
“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says:
Your heart is proud,
and you have said,‘I am a god;
I sit in the seat of gods
in the heart of the sea.’Yet you are a man and not a god,
though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.”In this verse, the King of Tyre is reminded of the fact that he is a man. Although he thought of himself as a god, and said it in his own heart, he is just a man, not a god.

The first part of chapter 28:1-11 is a picture of the AntiChrist. The second part 28:12-19 is a picture of Lucifer as the original high priest in heaven! It parallels Exodus 28 and the priestly robes, but only has 9 stones? Interesting but another study! Anointed cherub ordained all words used to clarify specific office!
