Ezekiel 27

Message: The Lament of Tyre

Time: Predicted in 590 BC. It was besieged by Nebuchadnezzar from 586 BC to 573 BC. Alexander the Great conquered it in 332 BC and it was laid waste again in 315 BC. It regained itself in 126 BC. But, there were other times it 12th century and 20th century where it was badly damaged.

What the Lord is Saying: This chapter begins by speaking of the prime location of Tyre and the goodness that the City experienced--perfect in beauty, your borders are perfectly placed, your area is colored in a great manner, they had all the splendor and many did business with you.

And it concludes with the waste and the tough times they experienced and losing all of this.

Promise: Thus says the Lord God.
