We are never told, in scripture, of any mountains in heaven. However, we are told repeatedly that there is a holy "mountain of God" on earth. It is Mount Horeb (Sinai), as we read in Exodus 3:1; 4:27; 18:5; 24:13; 1 Kings 19:8. This was the location where the tabernacle and its furniture, including the cherubs that "covered" the mercy seat were brought into existence. The most natural identification of "the anointed cherub who covers...on he holy mountain of God" would,if literal, be one of these carved cherubs. However, this is not literal. The king of Tyre was not literally in either Eden or Sinai. It we are going to make sense of Ezekiel at all, his extravagant imagery has to be taken into consideration.The text says the cherub was on the holy mountain of God Ez 28.14 , so that may be the throne of God or perhaps heaven.
"You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created" (28.15)...and are humans called "perfect"?
The same chapter refers to him as "full wisdom" and "perfect in beauty." However, in the previous chapter, we read, "O Tyre, you have said, 'I am perfect in beauty" (Ezekiel 27:3). In our present chapter, the prince of Tyre is told "Yet you are a man and not a god [apparently not an angel, either], though you set your heart as the heart of a god" (Ezekiel 28:2), and he is said to be "wiser than Daniel" (v.3)—a sarcastic remark, and untrue, whether applied to man or Satan.
The references to "perfection" in our present passage (vv.12, 15) are sarcastic references to Tyre's prideful self-assessment. They are not describing some unnamed angel who is, in fact, all those things Tyre flatters itself as being.
Psalm 89:47—"For what futility have You created all the children of men?" According to this passages, not only Adam and Eve were "created," but also all of their children. This would apply to the king of Tyre as well as all other people, though I think the reference in Ezekiel 28 is to the creation of the city or kingdom of Tyre.Normally for a human wouldn't we say they were born rather then created...
Yes, because this "king of Tyre" fell in connection with his corruption in the marketplace (Ezekiel 28:16). This works quite well for the actual city of Tyre, but not so much for an angel in a heavenly venue.Certainly other language in this chapter does sound like it's describing a human king.
The principal difference between these two cases is that Isaiah is quoted in the New Testament, without which, we would not conclude that it was referring to Christ. Whenever the New Testament identifies a secondary meaning, I have no problem with it. When mere men create secondary meanings, which are not in the text, nor identified in the New Testament, then I regard that secondary meaning a mere tradition of man.This type of writing [where one person is addressed, but another is secretly intended] is found elsewhere like when the voice of the Lord in Isa 6 asked "Whom shall I send, and who shall go for us" fulfilled in Christ or David's eternal kingdom, fulfilled in Christ although his name is never mentioned in the OT texts just as Satan is never mentioned here.
