Ezekiel 28:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 28:21

Son of man, set thy face against Zidon
An ancient city, near to Tyre, and in confederacy with it, greatly given to idolatry and superstition; and may design all the antichristian states in the communion of the church of Rome: and prophesy against it;
the prophet is bid to look towards this place with a stern countenance, as before against Tyre; threatening it with ruin, and prophesying of it, in the following manner.

Ezekiel 28:21 In-Context

19 All who once knew you now throw up their hands: 'This can't have happened! This has happened!'"
20 God's Message came to me:
21 "Son of man, confront Sidon. Preach against it.
22 Say, 'Message from God, the Master: "'Look! I'm against you, Sidon. I intend to be known for who I truly am among you.' They'll know that I am God when I set things right and reveal my holy presence.
23 I'll order an epidemic of disease there, along with murder and mayhem in the streets. People will drop dead right and left, as war presses in from every side. Then they'll realize that I mean business, that I am God.
