Ezekiel 26:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 26:21

I will make thee a terror
To all the isles round about, who shall shake and tremble at the ruin of Tyre, as before observed; or to herself, being brought into a most terrible and distressed condition: and thou shall be no more:
in the same place and situation, in the same happy state and condition: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again,
saith the Lord God:
this is true of the antitype, Babylon, or antichrist, ( Revelation 18:21 ) .

Ezekiel 26:21 In-Context

19 For thus says the Lord GOD, "When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you,
20 then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, like the ancient waste places, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set glory in the land of the living.
21 "I will bring terrors on you and you will be no more; though you will be sought, you will never be found again," declares the Lord GOD.
