The Prophet Ezekiel: An Analytical Exposition
Gaebelein, Arno Clemens
Bible. Ezekiel -- Commentaries
There can be no question, but the person so closely linked
with the King of Tyrus is Satan. The passage contains one of the most
interesting revelations we have in the Bible on the person and dignity of
that fallen being. Verses 18 and 19 show that the King is in view and
the fate of his city Tyrus: "I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth
in the sight of all them that behold thee."
[19] For a detailed and excellent exposition of this passage see the
book on "Satan," by F. C. Jennings, pp. 43-48.
III. A Prophecy Concerning Zidon.
Again the word of the Lord came unto me saying: Son of man, set thy
face against Zidon, and prophesy against it. And 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. For 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. And 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 despiseth them; and they shall know that I am the Lord
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 (verses 20-26).
