Devotional: Ezekiel 26

Today’s passage: Ezekiel 26

Helpful thoughts:

  • Today’s pronouncement of judgment is against the city of Tyre.  Chapter 26 is the first of three chapters which are devoted to the destruction of Tyre.
  • Tyre was a wealthy city of international trade surrounded by water just off the coast of modern day Lebanon.  It’s location made the people feel extra secure, safe from any attack.
    • It was conquered originally by Nebuchadnezzar.  Later, Alexander the Great made a causeway to connect the city to the mainland.
  • The chapter could be outlined this way:
    • Verses 1-6 – The reason for judgment
    • Verses 7-14 – The method of judgment
    • Verses 15-18 – The international response to judgment
    • Verses 19-21 – The permanence of the judgment

Questions to consider:

  1. In what ways are we reminded concerning where our safety and our strength comes from?  Who is our safety?  Who is our strength? (2 Corinthians 12:8-10)
  2. How does this help us to also redefine strength and safety in ways the world would not understand?  Was Tyre ever truly “safe” simply because of its location?  Was Nebuchadnezzar truly strong because of his own armies? (Daniel 4:29-33)
  3. How does Colossians 3:1-4 help us to answer these questions?  Where are believers hidden in safety for the day when the final victory is won?
