Ezekiel 28:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 28:10

Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised
Or the death of the wicked, as the Targum; the first and second death, temporal and eternal: the former by the hand of strangers,
the Chaldeans, in various shapes; and the latter will follow upon it: it may denote the various kinds of death which the inhabitants of Rome will die when destroyed, some by famine, some by pestilence, and others by fire; when these plagues shall come upon her in one day, ( Revelation 18:8 ) . for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God;
and therefore it shall surely come to pass; strong is the Lord that will judge, condemn, and destroy mystical Babylon, or Tyre.
