Ezekiel 27:1-19 The renown of Tyre and its fall
Ezekiel 27 is a poetic funeral song, as would have commemorated the sinking of a ship wrongly piloted. Great human achievement is described, but nothing about God.

Description:
Part 42 of this series.
In chapter 26 we saw the ruin of Tyre and judgment on the city. In this chapter we will look at the renown of Tyre set forth in a sort of funeral derge. In chapter 28 we will look at the rulers of Tyre, a very interesting chapter telling about the powers behind the throne, Satan himself.
It was originally written in poetic metre, clearly meant to be a song. The funeral song for the sinking of a ship that was wrongly piloted and ultimately shipwrecked.
Slaves were sold in the market, human trafficking. Commerce can be very heartless, because it is Godless. Anything that can turn a profit is worth pursuing, including slavery. Once you take God out of the picture people have no conscience about their activities. We like to think slavery is gone, but human trafficking is still a big problem throughout the world.
