Because He Has Become Wealthy, Tyrus, Thinks He's a god |
Ezekiel 28:1-26 The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks] |
Again, the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, [a.k.a. Tyre,] The Lord God says [this;] Because your heart is lifted up, [a.k.a. exalted, elevated, or magnified,] & you have said, I am a [god] & I sit in the seat of God, in the [middle] of the seas, [still,] you are a man, & not God, [although] you [focus] your heart [like] the heart of God. |
[2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposes & exalts himself above all that are called god, or that is worshiped; so that he [is like:] God sits in the temple of God, [declaring] that he, himself, is God.] |
[Look,] you are wiser than Daniel & there is no secret that they can hide from you. With your wisdom & your understanding, you have gotten riches [for yourself] & [have] gotten gold & silver [to put] into your [treasury.] By your great wisdom & by your [sales & trading,] you have increased your riches & your heart is lifted up because of your riches. |
[1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil. While some [have] coveted, [a.k.a. envied, or lusted,] after [money] they have erred from the faith, [a.k.a. gone astray,] & pierced themselves [& have afflicted themself] through with many sorrows.] |
Therefore, The Lord God says [this;] Because you have [focused] your heart, [like] the heart of God, therefore, [watch,] I will bring strangers upon you, the terrible of the nations & they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom & they shall defile your [intelligence.] |
[Ezekiel 26:7 For the Lord God says [this, watch,] I will bring Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, king of kings, upon Tyrus, with: horses; chariots: horsemen; [troops] & [many] people.] |
They shall bring you down to the pit & you shall die the deaths of [those, who] are slain in the midst of the seas. [Isaiah 14:15-16 [Still,] you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. [Those, who] see you, shall [gaze] upon you & consider you, saying, Is this the man, [who] made the earth to tremble & [shook kingdoms?] |
Will you [still] say [in front of] him, [who kills] you, I am God? But you shall be a man & [not] God, in the hand of him, [who] slays you. You shall die the [death] of the uncircumcised [at] the hand of strangers. For I have spoken it, says the Lord God. [Ezekiel 32:19 Whom [do] you [surpass] in beauty? Go down & you be laid with the uncircumcised.] |
[Also,] the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, take up [mourning for] the king of Tyrus & say to him, The Lord God says [this;] You [seal] up the full [total if [your] wisdom & perfect beauty. You have been in Eden, the Garden of God. |
Every precious stone was your covering, [a.k.a. shelter,] the: sardius; topaz; diamond; beryl; onyx; jasper; sapphire; emerald; carbuncle & gold. The workmanship of your [tambourines & flutes were] prepared [within] you [on] the day you [were] created. |
You are the anointed cherub that covered & I have [put] you so. You [were] upon the holy mountain of God & you walked [back & forth] in the midst of the stone of fire. |
[2 Peter 2:3-4 And through covetousness, [a.k.a. envy or greed,] they shall with [false] words make merchandise of you; whose judgment [won't wait,] a long time & their damnation [doesn't rest.] For God [didn't spare] the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell & delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved [for] judgment.] |
You [were] perfect in your ways, from the day you were created, [until] your iniquity was found in you. [Isaiah 14:13-14 For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven & I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will also sit upon the mount of the congregation, [on] the sides of the North. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds & I will be like the Most High.] |
By the multitude of your merchandise, they have filled the midst of you with violence & you have sinned. Therefore, I will [throw] you out of the mountain of God, as profane. And from the midst of the stones of fire, I will destroy you, O [covered] cherub. |
[Matthew 11:23-24 And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be brought down to hell. For if the mighty works, [that] have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom [on] the day of judgment, than for you.] |
Your [proud] heart was lifted up, because of your beauty & you have corrupted your wisdom, [because] of your [intelligence.] I will [throw] you to the ground & I will lay you before kings, [so] that they may [see] you. |
You have defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your [sins] & by the [sins] of your [dishonest trading.] Therefore, I will bring [out] a fire from the midst of you & it shall devour you. And I will bring you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all [those, who saw] you. |
[Revelation 18:18-19 And when they saw the smoke of her burning, cried [out & said,] What city is [similar] to this great city! And they cast dust on their heads & cried [out,] weeping & wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, [in which] all [who] had ships in the sea were made rich, [because] of her [wealth!] For in 1 hour, she is made desolate.] |
All [those] among the people, [who] know you, shall be astonished at you. You shall be a terror & you shall never be anymore. Again, the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, [turn] your face against Zidon, [a.k.a. Sidon,] & prophesy against it. |
And say, The Lord God says [this; Look,] I am against you, O Zidon & I will be glorified in the midst of you. And they shall know that I Am the Lord, when I shall have [carried out] judgments in her & shall be sanctified in her. For I will send into her: pestilences & blood into her [streets.] |
And the wounded shall be judged by the sword in the midst of her upon every side & they shall know that I Am the Lord. And there shall no [longer] be a [sticker patches for] the house of Israel, nor any [grievous thorns,] of [those] all [around] them, [who] despised them & they shall know that I Am the Lord God. |
The Lord Gods ays [this;] When I [will] have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered & shall be sanctified [by] them in the sight of the heathen, they shall dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] |
And they shall dwell safely [there] & shall build houses & plant vineyards. [Yes,] they shall dwell with confidence, when I have [carried out justice] upon all those, [who] despise them [all around] them. And they shall know that I Am the Lord their God. |
