The king of tyre was indeed a man. Though was not Lucifer.
That was injected into the vulgate by Jerome.
The word should be Heylel. Lucifer is a Latin word and part of a cult that did not exist at the time of Ezekiel.
I would have to disagree. There is too much Lucifer language to think other wise.
1. cast down to the earth
2. You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
3. You were in Eden, the garden of God;
4. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared
5. You were anointed as a guardian cherub
6. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created
7. and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones
8. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth;
Isa 14:12-15 NIV How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! 13You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. 14I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” 15But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.
Ez 28:12-19 NIV “Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “ ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. 14You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. 15You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. 16Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. 17Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. 18By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. 19All the nations who knew you are appalled at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’ ”
