EZEKIEL 28:2

14 They of the house of 1 Togarmah trad- ed in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules. 15 The men of Dedan were thy mer- chants; many isles were the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee for a present horns of ivory and ebony. 16 Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate. 17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm. 18 Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool. 19 Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market. 20 Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots. 21 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants. 22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. 23 Haran, and 2 Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, 3 Asshur, and Chil- mad, were thy merchants. 24 These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and broi- dered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise. 25 The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas. 26 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas. The promise of Tyre’s fall to Babylon and Greece (Fulfilled - 572 & 332 BC) 27 Thy 4 riches, and thy fairs, thy merch- andise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy

calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchan- dise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, 5 shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin. P 28 6 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. P 29 6 And all that handle the oar, the mari- ners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land; P 30 6 And shall cause their voice tobe heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes: P 31 6 And they shall make themselves ut- terly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing. P 32 6 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea? P 33 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the mul- titude of thy riches and of thy merchandise. 34 5 In the time when thou shalt be bro- ken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall. P 35 6 All the inhabitants of the 7 isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance. P 36 6 The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and 5 never shalt be any more.

8. Ezk 1:3,24 9. Isa 14:12-14

2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, 9 though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: 28:2a The prince of Tyre at the time of its fall in 572 BC was Ithbaal II. Ithbaal’s heart was lifted up by virtue of his wisdom and his wealth to the point that he actually thought himself to be God. 28:2b The statement speaks for itself – man is “not God,” nor will he ever become a god, as suggested by Satan (Gen 3:1-5), Mormons ( Psa 82:6 ) and the New Age Movement ( Jn 4:24b ).
