Footnotes:

28:1-10 - The prophecy against the prince of Tyre denounces his arrogance and his attempt to equal himself with God. The condemnation of the prince of Tyre highlights how pride and self-sufficiency are rejected by God (see also Isaiah 14:12-15 and 2 Thessalonians 2:4).

28:11-19 - The prophecy against the king of Tyre is one of the most detailed, describing the fall of a being who was "in Eden, in the garden of God," a reference to sin and the fall of humanity. The fall of Tyre is compared to the fall of Lucifer due to pride and rebellion (see also Isaiah 14:12-15 and Revelation 12:7-9).

28:20-23 - God's judgment against Sidon is announced, with the promised punishment for its wickedness. Sidon's destruction reflects God's punishment for those who persist in their wicked practices and reject God's sovereignty (see also Jeremiah 25:15-26 and Amos 1:9-10).

28:24-26 - Israel's restoration is contrasted with the destruction of enemy nations. The judgment against Tyre and Sidon is a lesson that God's vengeance is certain, but it also reveals His faithfulness in restoring His people (see also Isaiah 11:11-12 and Romans 11:25-32).

Verses related to Ezequiel, 28:

Ezekiel chapter 28 prophesies against the king of Tire and Sidon. What surprising revelations does God make? This profound text uses language that transcends the earthly, alluding to the fall of Satan. The chapter covers topics such as pride, the origin of evil and divine judgment. Ezekiel 28 also includes a promise of restoration for Israel. God's holiness and justice are highlighted. Discover with us five biblical passages that relate to the mysteries of this revealing chapter.

Isaiah 14:12-15: "How you fell from the heavens, O morning star, son of the dawn! How were you thrown to the earth, you who overthrew the nations! You, who said in your heart: 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of the assembly, on the highest point of the holy mountain. I will rise higher than the highest clouds; I will be like the Most High.' But to the depths of Sheol you will be taken, you will go to the bottom of the abyss!" - This passage about the king of Babylon has parallels with the description of the king of Tire in Ezekiel 28:1-19, both of whom are portrayed as having excessive pride.

Daniel 4:30-32: "he exclaimed, 'Is not this the great Babylon that I have built as the capital of my kingdom, with my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?' He was still speaking, when a voice came from heaven: 'King Nebuchadnezzar, this is the decree against you: Your royal authority has been taken away from you. You will be expelled from among men and will live with wild animals; [...]'" - Nebuchadnezzar's downfall due to his pride reflects similar themes to those found in the prophecy against the king of Tire in Ezekiel 28.

1 Timothy 3:6: "He cannot be newly converted, lest he become arrogant and fall into the same condemnation as the devil fell." - Paul warns against pride, recalling the fall of Satan, which some interpret as having parallels with Ezekiel 28:11-19.

Proverbs 16:18: "Pride comes before destruction; the haughty spirit, before the fall." - This proverb summarizes the central theme of Ezekiel 28, where the pride of the king of Tire leads to his downfall.

Revelation 18:7-8: "As much as she glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her as much torment and sadness. In her heart she boasts: 'I am sitting like a queen; I am not a widow and I will never be sad.' Therefore, in one day his plagues will come: death, sadness and hunger. She will be consumed by fire, for the Lord God is powerful and judges her." - The fall of Babylon in Revelation echoes themes found in the prophecy against Tire in Ezekiel 28, especially divine judgment against pride and self-glorification.
