Today, I am reading and commenting on Ezekiel 27-28.

In his prophecy against Tyre Ezekiel speaks of how they accumulated great wealth through trade, through making good deals with many nations.  They had wisely made trades with various nations which made those nations feel they were receiving value.  But then they became proud and began to think that they did not need to necessarily return value for the value received.  I am really struggling with getting my wording together today.  Tyre became wealthy because they wisely made trade deals which benefited both themselves and their trade partners.  God brought judgement against them because once they became wealthy they began to take advantage of their trade partners in ways which brought suffering and misery to others.  The rulers of Tyre thought that no one would be able to hold them accountable because of their wealth and power.  The same applies to us today.  The rulers of Tyre thought they were wiser and smarter than others, but they did not act with God’s wisdome
