Ezekiel 28.
The world that "then was" had Eden, Lucifer ("king of Tyrus"), the Beast ("prince of Tyrus", who sat "in the seat of God" saying "I am God" cf. 2 Thes. 2), and angels. They had merchandise and kingdoms. The world that then was totally perished just as this present evil world will totally perish (2 Pet. 3). (The world of Noah's day did not totally perish. Eight human beings, sea creatures, plants, and life survived and continued.)
There was an Eden in the world that then was. There was an Eden in the world of Adam. There will be an Eden in the new earth.
