what does the bible say?
Yes, the prophecy in Ezekiel 28 about the king of Tyre is believed to also refer to Satan. The passage contains descriptions and characteristics that extend beyond a human king, suggesting a deeper meaning. Some details, such as being "in Eden," being called an "anointed guardian cherub," and being "on the holy mountain of God," are attributes that align more with a supernatural being like Satan, rather than a mortal ruler. Many biblical scholars accept that the pride of the king of Tyre is being compared to the pride of Satan, indicating a double condemnation. This double condemnation brings a spiritual dimension to the prophecy, warning against the dangers of pride and rebellion both in earthly rulers and in spiritual beings like Satan.
