Ezekiel Prophesies Against Tyre

Ezekiel stands on the rocky heights outside the fortified city of Tyre, lifting a prophetic scroll as distressed citizens reach toward him from the gate. The composition frames the prophet apart from the crowd, emphasizing the authority of God’s word over the proud strength of a wealthy coastal city. The walls, towers, and surrounding hills evoke an ancient Near Eastern setting where commerce, power, and human confidence are confronted by divine judgment.

The scene reflects Ezekiel’s oracle against Tyre, where the Lord declares that many nations will come against the city “as the sea causes its waves to come up.” In biblical teaching, Tyre becomes a warning against pride, self-exaltation, and trust in riches.
