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 city laid waste, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep over you, and the great waters cover you,
20 then I will make you go down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you to dwell in the world below, among ruins from of old, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set beauty in the land of the living.
21 I will bring you to a dreadful end, and you shall be no more. Though you be sought for, you will never be found again, declares the Lord GOD."
