Ezechiël 28:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 28:15

Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast
created
From the time that Tyre became a kingdom, or this king was set over it, everything was wisely conducted, and all things happily succeeded; so when the church of Rome was first formed in the times of the apostles, it was laid on a good foundation; it was set up according to the rule of the word; its bishop or pastor was one of a sound judgment, a good life and conversation, and so continued In succession for a considerable time; these held the true faith and doctrine of Christ, and kept it incorrupt, and lived holy lives: till iniquity was found in thee;
pride, blasphemy against God, and contempt of his people, as well as violence and deceit; all this was found in the king of Tyre in later times: so in the church of Rome, when the man of sin was revealed, there were pride, haughtiness, and ambition, found in it; blasphemy against God and Christ, and the saints: false doctrine, false worship, superstition, and idolatry.

Ezechiël 28:15 In-Context

13 Gij waart in Eden, Gods hof; alle kostelijk gesteente was uw deksel, sardisstenen, topazen en diamanten, turkooizen, sardonixstenen en jaspisstenen, saffieren, robijnen, en smaragden, en goud; het werk uwer trommelen en uwer pijpen was bij u; ten dage als gij geschapen werdt, waren zij bereid.
14 Gij waart een gezalfde, overdekkende cherub; en Ik had u alzo gezet; gij waart op Gods heiligen berg; gij wandeldet in het midden der vurige stenen.
15 Gij waart volkomen in uw wegen, van den dag af, dat gij geschapen zijt, totdat er ongerechtigheid in u gevonden is.
16 Door de veelheid uws koophandels hebben zij het midden van u met geweld vervuld, en gij hebt gezondigd; daarom zal Ik u ontheiligen van Gods berg, en zal u, gij overdekkende cherub! verdoen uit het midden der vurige stenen!
17 Uw hart verheft zich over uw schoonheid; gij hebt uw wijsheid bedorven, vanwege uw glans; Ik heb u op de aarde henengeworpen, Ik heb u voor het aangezicht der koningen gesteld, om op u te zien.
