A
Prophecy Against The King of Tyre
The
Word of the Lord came to me:
2
'Son of man, say to the Ruler of Tyre,
'THIS
IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS:
'In
the Pride of your heart you say, 'I am a god;
In
the heart of the seas.'
But
you are a man and not a god,
Though
you think you are as wise as a god.
3
Are you wiser than Daniel?
Is
no Secret hidden from you?
4
By your wisdom and understanding
You
have gained wealth for yourself
And
Amassed gold and silver in your Treasuries.
5
By your great skill in trading
You
have increased your wealth,
AND
BECAUSE OF YOUR WEALTH
YOUR
HEART HAS GROWN PROUD.
6
'THEREFORE THIS IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS;
'Because
you think you are wise, as wise as a god,
7 I
am going to bring Foreigners against you,
THE
MOST RUTHLESS OF NATIONS;
They
will draw their Swords against your beauty and wisdom
And
pierce your shining Splendor.
8
THEY WILL BRING YOU DOWN TO THE PIT,
And
you will die a Violent Death
In
the heart of the seas.
9
WILL YOU THEN SAY, 'I AM A GOD.'
In
the presence of those who Kill you?
YOU
WILL BE BUT A MAN, NOT A GOD,
In
the hands of those who Slay you.
10
YOU WILL DIE THE DEATH OF THE UNCIRCUMCISED
At
the hand of Foreigners.
I
HAVE SPOKEN, DECLARES THE SOVEREIGN LORD.'
11
The Word of the Lord came to me:
12
'Son of man, take up a Lament
Concerning
the king of Tyre and say to him:
'THIS
IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS:
'YOU
WERE THE MODEL OF PERFECTION,
FULL
OF WISDOM AND PERFECT IN BEAUTY.
13
YOU WERE IN EDEN THE GARDEN OF GOD;
EVERY
PRECIOUS STONE ADORNED YOU:
Ruby,
Topaz and Emerald, Chrysolite, Onyx and Jasper,
Sapphire,
Turquoise and Beryl.
Your
settings and mounting were made of gold;
On
the Day you were Created they were prepared.
14
YOU WERE ANOINTED AS A GUARDIAN CHERUB,
FOR
SO I ORDAINED YOU
YOU
WERE ON THE HOLY MOUNT OF GOD;
YOU
WALKED AMONG THE FIERY STONES.
15
YOU WERE BLAMELESS IN YOUR WAYS
FROM
THE DAY YOU WERE CREATED
TILL
WICKEDNESS WAS FOUND IN YOU.
16
Through your widespread trade
You
were filled with Violence, and you Sinned.
SO
I DROVE YOU IN DISGRACE FROM THE MOUNT OF GOD,
AND
I EXPELLED YOU, O GUARDIAN CHERUB,
FROM
THE FIERY STONES.
17
YOUR HEART BECAME PROUD ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR BEAUTY,
AND
YOU CORRUPTED YOUR WISDOM BECAUSE OF YOUR SPLENDOR.
SO
I THREW YOU TO THE EARTH;
I
MADE A SPECTACLE OF YOU BEFORE KINGS.
18
By your many Sins and Dishonest Trade
You
have Desecrated your Sanctuaries.
SO
I MADE FIRE COME OUT FROM YOU
AND
IT CONSUMED YOU,
AND
I REDUCED YOU TO ASHES ON THE GROUND
IN
THE SIGHT OF ALL WHO WERE WATCHING.
19
All the Nations who knew you are Appalled at you;
YOU
HAVE COME TO A HORRIBLE END
AND
WILL BE NO MORE.'
A
Prophesy Against Sidon
20
The Word of the Lord came to me:
'Son
of man, set your face against Sidon;
Prophesy
against her and say:
THIS
IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS:
'I
AM AGAINST YOU , O SIDON,
And
I will gain Glory within you.
THEY
WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD,
When
I Inflict Punishment on her
And
show Myself Holy within her,
23
I will sen a Plague upon her
And
make blood flow in her streets.
The
Slain will fall within her,
With
the Sword against her on every side.
THEN
THEY WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
24
'No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors
Who
are Painful Briers and Sharp Thorns.
THEN
THEY WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
25
'THIS IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS:
When
I gather the people of Israel from the Nations
Where
they have been Scattered,
I
WILL SHOW MYSELF HOLY AMONG THEM
IN
THE SIGHT OF THE NATIONS.
Then
they will live in their own land,
Which
I gave to My Servant Jacob.
26
They will live there in Safety and will build houses
And
plant vineyards;
THEY
WILL LIVE IN SAFETY
WEN
I INFLICT PUNISHMENT ON ALL THEIR NEIGHBORS
WHO
MALIGNED THEM.
THEN
THEY WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD THEIR GOD.'
(Ezekiel
28)
Here
we have in the story of the king of Tyre,
The
story of Satan's Fall.
We
have the story of Israel being Scattered to the Nations
And
gathered once again to the Land of Israel.
Which
has occurred in the last 70 plus years.
And we
have the story of what will occur in the Near Future,
When
All of Israel neighbors come against Israel
And
will be Destroyed by the Hand of God.
Then
Israel will live in Peace and Safety
From
that Day forward.
