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 The Sovereign Lord says: "I will make you as desolate as ruined cities where no one lives. I will cover you with the water of the ocean depths.

20 I will send you down to the world of the dead to join the people who lived in ancient times. I will make you stay in that underground world among eternal ruins, keeping company with the dead. As a result you will never again be inhabited and take your place in the land of the living.

21 I will make you a terrifying example, and that will be the end of you. People may look for you, but you will never be found." The Sovereign Lord has spoken.
