Ezekiel 26Tyre assumed that Jerusalem’s bad fortune would give them breathing room, so they would prosper. A remote neighbor to the north, they thought they could survive and thrive by ignoring Judah’s calamity. Not so. The LORD promised to inflict judgment upon Tyre with many nations. That is what happened. Numerous nations joined Nebuchadnezzar in attacking Tyre, and many other nations joined Alexander the Great, and later rulers in destroying it. Although it was rebuilt many times, the small city of Tyre today is not located on the ruins of the old Tyre. The nations joined together to bring the old Tyre to nothing.
LORD, forgive us for assuming that other people’s misfortune is not our business.
