Tyre Falls, Egypt Is Next, and God Recalibrates History (Ezekiel 28-29)
Pastor Mike Warren
This message closes Ezekiel 28 and moves into chapter 29 by stressing that God corrects His people without punishing them, while He judges the nations that exploit Israel during her weakness—Tyre included—and that Tyre’s influence, wealth, and pride make it a prophetic picture of the world’s commercial and spiritual corruption. It then turns to Egypt, the next great target of judgment, explaining that Ezekiel’s dated oracle against Pharaoh Hophra marks a precise moment in history and foreshadows God’s use of Nebuchadnezzar to judge Egypt, reward Babylon for its failed siege of Tyre, and demonstrate that every event passes through God’s sovereign hands.
