Prophecy Against the King of Tyre
1And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.…

Ezekiel 28
1. God's judgment upon the prince of Tyrus for his sacrilegious pride
11. A lamentation of his great glory corrupted by Sidon
20. The judgment of Zion
24. The restoration of Israel














The word of the LORD
This phrase signifies divine communication, emphasizing the authority and sacredness of the message. In Hebrew, "word" is "dabar," which implies not just spoken words but also actions and events. The "LORD" is "YHWH," the covenant name of God, highlighting His eternal and unchanging nature. This introduction sets the stage for a message that carries the weight and authority of God Himself, reminding us of the importance of listening to and obeying God's directives.

came to me
The phrase indicates a personal and direct revelation to the prophet Ezekiel. The Hebrew verb "hayah" (came) suggests an occurrence or event, emphasizing that this is not a mere thought or idea but a significant divine encounter. Ezekiel, as a prophet, serves as a conduit for God's message, underscoring the personal relationship between God and His chosen messengers. This reminds believers of the intimate ways God communicates with His people, often through those He has called and equipped for His purposes.

saying
This word introduces the content of the divine message. In Hebrew, "amar" (saying) is used to denote speech, indicating that what follows is a direct quotation from God. It prepares the reader for the specific instructions or revelations that God is about to impart. This highlights the importance of the message that follows, urging the audience to pay close attention to the words of God, as they are not merely human opinions but divine truths meant to guide, correct, or encourage.

Verse 1. - From the city the prophet passes to its ruler, who concentrated in himself whatever was most arrogant and boastful in the temper of his people. He is described here as a" prince," in Ver. 12 as "king," and the combination of the two words points probably to some peculiarity of the Tyrian constitution. "Prince" it will be remembered, is constantly used by Ezekiel of Zedekiah (Ezekiel 7:27; Ezekiel 12:20, el al.). The King of Tyro at the time was Ithobal or Ethbaal III. (Josephus, 'Contra Apion,' 1:21), who had taken part with Pharaoh-Hophra and Zedekiah in the league against Nebuchadnezzar, Ezekiel's description of what one may call his self-apotheosis may probably have rested on a personal knowledge of the man or of official documents.
