It is a common prophetic introduction, underscoring that the words are not from the prophet himself but from God. This establishes the seriousness and certainty of the prophecy.When I make you a desolate city: The prophecy is directed towards Tyre, a significant Phoenician city known for its wealth and maritime power. The term "desolate" indicates complete destruction and abandonment, a fate that befell many cities as a result of divine judgment. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's sovereignty over nations and His ability to humble the proud.like other deserted cities: This comparison suggests that Tyre's fate will be similar to other cities that have faced divine judgment. It implies a pattern of God's dealings with nations that defy Him. Historical examples include Babylon and Nineveh, which were also prophesied to become desolate due to their sins.and when I raise up the deep against you: The "deep" refers to the sea, which was both a source of Tyre's wealth and a symbol of chaos and judgment in biblical literature. This imagery suggests a reversal of fortune, where the sea that once brought prosperity now becomes an instrument of destruction.so that the mighty waters cover you: This phrase evokes the imagery of a flood, a common biblical metaphor for overwhelming judgment. It recalls the Genesis flood narrative, where waters covered the earth as a form of divine judgment. The use of "mighty waters" underscores the totality and inescapability of the impending destruction.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> A prophet of God who ministered to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.
