Here we have Ezekiel referencing the Entity behind The king of Tyrus.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
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.
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.
Also see Isaiah 14:12-17.
When did all this happen here in Isaiah?
Clearly in Ezekiel he's not talking about the King of Tyrus, when have he been in Eden, "The Garden or God "?
When we view the creation in Genesis chapters 1 and 2 where do we fit this in a six day creation?
Because Genesis said that God saw all that He had made and said it was good, the fall of Satan happened between that statement and when he tempted Eve into sin, in my opinion, unless God was talking about what He had created on the earth, exempting the angels, who sang with joy when the physical universe was made in Genesis 1:1. If the latter, then Satan could have fallen prior to the creation of the earth.
Scripture does not give specific details on when this occurred or whether the "Eden of God" was a heavenly abode which the earthly Eden represents the heavenly Eden.
This question is perplexing, and Christians have written and discussed this for many millenniums

Good reasonable answer!
That ran across my mind as well.
I will share will further share my thoughts on this in a day or so.
I also will continue the discussion with Brothers Ronald and Carlton as soon as I'm freed up.
God bless.
