Concise Complete
The overthrow of Tyre. (1-14) It is established again.
(15-18)
Verses 1-14 Tyre
was the mart of the nations. She was noted for mirth and diversions; and this
made her loth to consider the warnings God gave by his servants. Her merchants
were princes, and lived like princes. Tyre being destroyed and laid waste, the
merchants should abandon her. Flee to shift for thine own safety; but those that
are uneasy in one place, will be so in another; for when God's judgments pursue
sinners, they will overtake them. Whence shall all this trouble come? It is a
destruction from the Almighty. God designed to convince men of the vanity and
uncertainty of all earthly glory. Let the ruin of Tyre warn all places and
persons to take heed of pride; for he who exalts himself shall be abased. God
will do it, who has all power in his hand; but the Chaldeans shall be the
instruments.
Verses 15-18 The
desolations of Tyre were not to be for ever. The Lord will visit Tyre in mercy.
But when set at liberty, she will use her old arts of temptation. The love of
worldly wealth is spiritual idolatry; and covetousness is spiritual idolatry.
This directs those that have wealth, to use it in the service of God. When we
abide with God in our worldly callings, when we do all in our power to further
the gospel, then our merchandise and hire are holiness to the Lord, if we look
to his glory. Christians should carry on business as God's servants, and use
riches as his stewards.
