God's Judgement Of Tyrus 1-19, Prophecy Against Zidon 20-26

Ezekiel Twenty Eight Par ▾

Prophecy against the King of Tyre

1The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

2Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

3Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:

4With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:

5By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:

6Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;

7Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.

8They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.

9Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

10Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

A Lament over the King of Tyre

11Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

16By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

19All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

A Prophecy against Sidon

20Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 21Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,

22And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.

23For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

24And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

The Restoration of Israel

25Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. 26And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel
from the people among whom they are scattered,

and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen,
then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.

And they shall dwell safely therein,
and shall build houses,
and plant vineyards;
yea,
they shall dwell with confidence,

when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them;

and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.

25Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. 26And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.

The Hebrew Root word embedded in the Hebrew word translated as "land," in the above quote, has the meaning of "soil," and is better understood as, "then shall they dwell in their land/fertile field that I gave to my servant Jacob." The implication of the quoted translation is that God intend to return Jacob's descendants to the Land of Canaan, but the reality is that God also told Jacob in the promise where He said that He would give the "Earth" where he was resting to Jacob and his descendants. The Covenant that God entered into with Jacob at Bethel, that is referred to in Ezekiel 28, is recorded in the following passage, and forms part of the Abrahamic Covenant made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Genesis 28:13-15: - 13 And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: "I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land/earth on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. 14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land/fertile field; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you."​

In Jacob's first encounter with God God promises Jacob and his descendants the whole earth as an inheritance for the distant future after God has accomplished all that He intends to accomplish and that also He will restore Jacob's descendants and will bring them back into a fertile flied and re-establish them in a "fertile field" back in relationship with Him. The Genesis 28 covenantal promise does not indicate when this restoration will occur, however, the Ezekiel 28:25-26 prophecy, does tell us that Jacob's descendants will be restore and gathered to the Lord after the judgement of the Kings of the Earth as spoken about by Isaiah 24:21-22, which is the Armageddon event as recorded in the sixth Bowl prophecy in Revelation 16:12-16, which is playing out for us to see its fulfilment which will conclude in our near future when Israel is gathered once more by God to Himself.

Both the Genesis and Ezekiel prophecies give no indication that God requires the Nation of Israel to all return to the Land of Canaan as so "Christian scholars" would have us believe. All the families of the earth can only be blessed if the descendants of Jacob remain scattered throughout the whole earth.

Please note that the changing of one and two words in the above two passages gives a completely different understanding of how God intend to Bless all of the people of the earth during the Millennium Age's first 1,000 years.

Shalom
