Daily Devotions: by Christina Farris

Ezekiel 28:1-26 KJV
(1) The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
(2) Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
(3) Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
(4) With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
(5) By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
(6) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
(7) Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
(8) They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
(9) Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
(10) Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
(11) Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
(12) Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
(13) Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
(14) Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
(15) Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
(16) By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
(17) Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
(18) Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
(19) All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
(20) Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
(21) Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
(22) And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
(23) For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
(24) And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
(25) Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
(26) And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.

I can not help thinking if the Jewish had taken down Tyre it would not of been prophesy. Yet it was prophesy because it was spoken before Tyre fell to Babylon. It perhaps was heard about by the Jewish prophesy. The soldiers would of learnt Hebrew and perhaps even told their king or leaders of the wealth of Tyre. Yet no matter the reason Babylon would evade Tyre it was to come. Tyre had exalted itself, and made itself a God claiming his own doing was his own hand and not exalting God‘s power. The power of wealth of God to rise up and lower kingdoms is real. Yet it is the those that set themselves has a God that will fall, because of their inability to understand that the power they have comes from God. Devil sin is not of God but his authority to rule, and to have power on the earth does come from God. God allows the devil some power has a testing of his people and rising up to only to be destroyed. God allowed Tyre wealth and power to be known. To be known that they claim that they themselves did it on their own. Yet they would fall, never to rise again.

God’s people might fall, but they will not remain fallen. God’s people recognize God’s power and might. God would bring Israel back to their homeland before the time of Christ. There ruler would not be Israel. They would be under the authority of another government. Yet they would return home at the time of King Darius. Three kingdoms would come and take Israel in captivity. Yet every time they would be returned. Babylon, Persia and Rome. Time of Christ Rome was in power. Israel was in captivity under any government not her own. If you ever watch Hogan Heroes, you know the prisoners of war were almost a government of their own, though unrecognized by the German military. Yet this force did many thing illegal in captivity. Yet the American public would cheer this show the prisoners of war on. There is a point despite that the Jews were not free they gain the respect and admiration of those they came in contact with. Despite their captivity they would be returned. Even some of these nations turning their heart to this God Israel served. King Nebuchadnezzar served many gods but even obeyed at times this God that seemed to torment him. Ester own husband would even be one to show respect for the people once hearing the plot of Haman against a people the obeyed the king, in every way except worship.

God would return his people to the land, but he would sanctify them on the road home and in their land. He would purge the sin of the heathen land from the people. Things they may have had to do while in exile. God loves his people and desires to help them change for his glory and honor, but also for their safety. God pushed his people from the land only to return them. God forced Adam and Eve from the garden only to send his Son to redeem His people from their sins. He did not leave the world in their sin, only came to redeem them. He was not going to leave them under the authority of the enemy. Yet while on this earth we are under the authority of mankind as well as God. Authority of man is not always godly authority. It is if they are believers in God. Let us realize God loved us enough to redeem his people through His Son. To purge our sins through the sacrifice of His Son.

Dear Heavenly Father thank you for the prophesy the devil will not stand, but you will return your people home. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study for Devotion:Hebrews 9:14-15 KJV
(14) How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
(15) And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
