Eze 28:13 - just illustrating the wealth of the prince of Tyre (v 2). Satan is not mentioned in this chapter. Note that chapter 28 is a **continuation** of a diatribe against Tyre. Prior to that is a diatribe against Ammon, Edom, the Philisitines, etc. and after is a diatribe against Egypt, Babylon, etc.





The description of the New Jerusalem - although possibly more deeply symbolic, this again is illustrative of the luxuriousness of the New Jerusalem, a place where there is ';no want'; and the streets are paved with gold.

sometimes yea. like in Exodus 28:17-20, the stones in Aaron's breastplate--each stone representing one of Jacob's 12 sons, and subsequently, the tribe that came from their loins.
Depending on the stones, they are used figuratively in the Bible to describe beauty, value or even durability.
