Ezekiel 26 - Day 813 (link to reading)
Scripture: Ezekiel 26:15-21 Commentary (thewarehouse.blog): For the next 3 chapters, there are prophecies against the capital of Phoenicia, the city of Tyre. This was located just north of Israel and is in modern day Lebanon. The city was on the coastline and boasted an island as well. It was an important trade route in ancient times. Tyre was a city that rejoiced when Israel’s punishment came. Much of their feelings were based on competition for the trade that came through their parts. They would have the corner on trade with Israel out of the picture. With Israel’s trade completely destroyed, they thought they had all the routes to themselves. Ruthless Nebuchadnezzar attacked Tyre and for 15 years waged war against them. He was able to take everything except the island. Application: Although Nebuchadnezzar could not conquer the island, Alexander the Great eventually came along and finished the job. God keeps His word and fulfills His promises, so be confident in your relationship with Jesus. Prayer: Lord, whom am I that You would care to know my name... Comments are closed.
