Pamphlet #8027 Ezekiel chapter 27

Do you realize that everything we need to know about what is happening and what is going to happen in this final generation, prior to Christ's return, we can SEE a type of and a fulfillment of in HiStory.

The old tried and tested and proven proverb that says "History Repeats Itself" really tells us that "History is Prophecy", doesn't it?

Jesus Christ foretold us in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 that in the final generation after the threat of wars had ceased to be cause for alarm, that "nation would rise against ("along side of") nation and kingdom against ("along side of") kingdom". A closer look at the Greek language used here will easily show that what Jesus was talking about was commercial Globalization. "Nation" means "ethos", as in basically third world countries, and "kingdom" means "royal", as in the free and leading nations of the world. They would all rise (which means to "stand up" in the market place) against (which is "epi", meaning "along side of") one another. And that is exactly what is happening under globalization with the Eurodollar and Dollarization and the IMF and the World Bank and the "New Economy" of e-Commerce.

Those who have studied the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation know that the first beast of Rev. 13 is a political system and that this "beast" will finally control the world of trade and commerce to the extent that if you are not part of that system you will not be able to "buy or sell" in the marketplace. Before the advances of modern computer technology, people wondered how that would be possible. Now it is easy to see that it is not only possible, it is a reality to those with eyes to see. Right now there is no pledge or religious requirement to be a part of the system (other than to remain Politically Correct in the business place), but that will change when the false messiah appears.

Now we have come to the 27th chapter of the book of the end time watchman, Ezekiel. In chapter 26 we learned that God declared that He was going to destroy that ancient world trading center of Tyre and that it would never again be rebuilt, i.e. it would be no more, gone forever. We learned that this great commercial city was a type, the foreshadowing of the great city of Babylon in the end time, which we also know from Revelation 18 will be destroyed and will also be no more.

So in this 27th chapter we are presented with a lamentation, which is a sad song, even a funeral dirge, which will eulogize the great attributes of this once awesome World Trading Center. Within this lamentation we are going to SEE the operation of that first beast of Revelation chapter 13, the merchandising of which is described in the 17th chapter of Revelation. Then in chapter 28 of Ezekiel we will see the characterization of the prince and the king of Tyre, who is the 2nd Beast of Rev. 13, the religious Beast, even Satan himself.

Also, as we stated in our last study, these chapters are not difficult at all to understand, and at this late stage in the clearly visible formation (rising) of the New World Order, the 1st Beast, one needs only to compare this chapter 27 with what is actually happening in today's world markets.  Even if you are not familiar with the history and the cultural characteristics of the ancient nations described in this chapter, just know that all the materials and the labor, etc., which was possessed by Tyre came from the nations of that day that were known to produce the BEST there is of their respective goods or services. She was a beauty and she had all the glitter and glamour that was available in her day.

Finally, in as much as Tyre is the type of modern day "Babylon", it was by her great wealth that she wielded both mercantile and political clout. Remember, she held off siege from king Nebuchadnezzar for 13 years! Do you really think he couldn't have taken her if he wanted to?  Money talks! This gives us a great VIEW of how the powers of the Four Hidden Dynasties are able to control peoples and nations. There is nothing new under the sun (never was, never will be!). You see, this "trafficking hub" is EXACTLY how Satan seeks to operate centers of influence and it is his idea of how things should be. It is even how things were in the first earth age before God destroyed it. Though God's people and other nations supplied the labor, the expertise in craftsmanship, and moved the goods and services of Tyre, it was the kenites who made the "deals" with nations and controlled the markets and the economics of the system through usury and the "First Central Bank of Tyre", just as they do today through the Federal Reserve Banking system and the other central banks of every nation.

Let's begin the lamentation of Tyre.

Ezekiel 27:1
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

[2] Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;

[3] And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.

[4] Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

The next few verses describe the qualities of her perfection.

Ezekiel 27:5
They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.

[6] Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim.

[7] Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.

Rev. 17:18
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Let usl read about the multitude of nations that were entangled in the world wide trading web of Tyre.

Does that mean then that we are also seeing a picture of how it was in the first earth age before its destruction described in Gen. 1:2? Yes we are.

Let's pick up the description of Tyre's greatness as she is liken to a great commercial vessel which rides upon the seas (many nations and peoples - see Rev. 17:15).

Ezekiel 27:8
The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots.

[9] The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.

"All the ships of the sea", i.e. the whole world, traded and bartered with Tyre. She enriched many kings of earth (vs. 33) who sent their vessels to her ports, and one had better believe she also "trafficked" in political favors with the kings of the earth. There is nothing new under the sun.

[10] They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.

[11] The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.

Ezekiel 27:12
Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.

[13] Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.

[14] They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.

[15] The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee for a present horns of ivory and ebony.

"Merchants come to you from Rhodes, and many coastlands are your captive markets, giving payment in ebony and ivory." LB

Ezekiel 27:16
Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.

[17] Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.

[18] Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.

Ezekiel 27:19
Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.

[20] Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.

[21] Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants.

Ezekiel 27:22
The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.

[23] Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants.

[24] These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.

[25] The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.

But uh oh, Tyre! You have forgotten God Almighty in all your trafficking and corrupt dealings with merchants and kings, etc. We see you worship the Queen of Heaven, Ishtar (Easter) and you have drawn the nations of world into your one world system through the use (misuse) of the Four Hidden Dynasties. You are headed for troubled waters!

Ezekiel 27:26
Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.

[27] Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.

Rev. 18:2
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Ezekiel 27:28
The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.

[29] And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;

[30] And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:

[31] And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.

Rev. 18:10
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

[11] And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

[12] The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

[13] And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

[14] And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

[15] The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

We have therefore SEEN the Future from SEEING the Past!

Ezekiel 27:32
And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?

[33] When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.

Rev. 18:3
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

Ezekiel 27:34
In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.

[35] All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance.

[36] The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more.

Rev. 18:21
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

So the cry babies will do Revelation verse 19:

Rev. 18:19
And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

[20] Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
