Ezekiel 28:1-10

We have here the continuation of the sad overthrow of Tyre. The Prince of Tyre is particularly noticed, and his daring impiety pointed at. There are no leading characters to discover to whom, or to what period of the Church, this history of Tyrus and her prince refers, if we look for an explanation beyond the period of the Babylonish captivity. Indeed, as the Lord in this and the preceding Chapter s, as well as in several that follow, is pronouncing judgment upon many of the kingdoms of the earth, there can be no reason for singling out one more than another, to suppose it hath a reference to some nation in particular. It is sufficient for our purpose of improvement to learn from hence, that the Lord will reckon, sooner or later, with all nations, and especially with those that oppress his people.
