God did not create this earth void and without form...He created it to be inhabited. It was then destroyed because of Satan's overthrow (katabole). Ezekiel 28 speaks about Satan himself and what is going to happen to him--it's broken into two sections: 1) Prince of Tyre after his fall / Prince against Messiah; & 2) Before his fall & him being King of Tyrus. Specifically, Ezekiel 28:13-26 is on the earth that was and addressing Satan's fall. Satan was that great and anointed cherub that covereth the Mercy Seat...the one who loved himself before God and influenced a 1/3 of God's children to follow him rather than God [post to follow on this 1/3].
