" Though thou set thine heart as the heart of God"
Here Ezekiel is referring to the king of Tyre and he is set as the stand-in for the covering cherub. He is also the son of God, "Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire." We have a lamentation which is addressed to the king of Tyre but the context is clear, it is a lament over the fallen angel who was perfect in beauty. This perfection was in term of stones, colors of which we may compare in the natural world as the matter of optics.
Similarly we are considering here the heart of God who as the Father of lights created the covering cherub. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. This has a source" Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined."(Ps.50:2). This is the heart of God.
On the other hand we find the covering cherub, in the mountain of God, and from the description it is called the mountain of light, light of which are a plethora of tints the whole palette of lights cast from the glory of God. In the profusion light it is also called a garden as find in this line. "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God." The stones mentioned here has a bearing on the breastplate of Aaron and also in the description of the twelve foundations for the walls of the holy city of God. In a series of posts we shall set forth the mind of God as delineated by the cherub as well as the mind or the heart of God revealed by Jesus Christ. First on the Son of man, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:/Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:/ But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men." (Ph.2:5-7). This shall explain the manner a tree planted by God could produce altogether two different sorts in man. Figs or thistles? "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."(Matt.7:20)

In this context Ezekiel is called the Son of man.
