The "coastlands" likely represent the various maritime nations and trading partners that relied on Tyre's economic strength. The trembling signifies fear and anxiety, as Tyre's downfall would have significant economic and political repercussions. Historically, Tyre was a major hub of commerce, and its fall would disrupt trade routes and alliances. This imagery of trembling coastlands can be connected to other biblical passages where nations react with fear to God's judgments, such as in <a href="/isaiah/23.htm">Isaiah 23</a>, which also prophesies against Tyre.<p><b>the islands in the sea are dismayed by your demise.</b><br>The "islands in the sea" further emphasize the widespread impact of Tyre's destruction. These islands could represent distant lands that engaged in trade with Tyre, highlighting the city's extensive influence. The dismay of these islands underscores the shock and distress caused by the sudden loss of a key economic partner. In a broader biblical context, this phrase illustrates the theme of divine judgment against pride and self-sufficiency, as seen in other prophetic books like Jeremiah and Amos. The demise of Tyre serves as a warning to other nations about the consequences of arrogance and reliance on wealth rather than on God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God who ministered to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.

In some of these there were several colonies, as Utica and Carthage in Africa, Gades (Cadiz), Kalpe (Gibraltar), and Malaka (Malaga) in Spain. All of these looked up to Tyre as their mother-city, and received from her their high priests. Even Carthage, the greatest of them, sent yearly presents to the Tyrian Hercules.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/26.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 18.</span> - It is noticeable that the commercial policy of Tyre is not represented as having been oppressive.
