3 portanto assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu sou contra ti, ó Tiro, e farei subir contra ti muitas nações, como o mar faz subir as suas ondas.

Ezequiel 26:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 26:3

Therefore thus saith the Lord God
Who knew the thoughts of the inhabitants of Tyre, and what joy possessed their hearts, and which their lips expressed; and who informs the prophet of it, though at a great distance, and declares his resentment at it: behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus;
and nothing can be more dreadful and formidable than to have God against a nation, city, or a particular person: Tyre was a type of antichrist, who will express a like joy at the death of the witnesses; thinking that the merchandise of Rome will be increased greatly, and there will be nothing to interrupt it, ( Revelation 11:10 ) , but God will show his displeasure, and bring sudden destruction on it: and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth
his waves to come up;
the Chaldean army, consisting of soldiers of many nations; who for their number, noise, and fury, are compared to the raging waves of the sea. So the Targum,

``I will bring up against thee an army of many people, as the sea ascendeth in the raging of its waves;''

the ten kings shall hate the whore, and destroy her, even those very people she reigns over, compared to many waters, ( Revelation 17:15 Revelation 17:16 ) .

Ezequiel 26:3 In-Context

1 Ora sucedeu no undécimo ano, ao primeiro do mês, que veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:

2 Filho do homem, visto como Tiro disse no tocante a Jerusalém: Ah! está quebrada a porta dos povos; está aberta para mim; eu me encherei, agora que ela está assolada;

3 portanto assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu sou contra ti, ó Tiro, e farei subir contra ti muitas nações, como o mar faz subir as suas ondas.

4 Elas destruirão os muros de Tiro, e derrubarão as suas torres; e eu varrerei o seu solo, e dela farei uma rocha descalvada.

5 Ela virá a ser no meio do mar um enxugadouro de redes; pois eu o falei, diz o Senhor Deus; e ela servirá de despojo para as nações.
