Ezekiel's Prophecies Against Tyre (3): "I Am a God" (Ezekiel 28:1-10) by Rev. Angus Stewart
I. The Idolatrous Thinking
II. The Fitting Destruction
William Greenhill: “‘I sit in the seat of God in the midst of the seas.’ As God is in the heavens, which are inaccessible, none being able to come thither, to wrong or harm him; so am I in Tyrus, seated upon a rock, in the heart or ‘midst of the seas;’ none can come at me to do me prejudice, I am without fear, I am in ‘the seat of God,’ not subject to the malice or power of any mortal whatsoever; all the merchants bring presents unto and adore me; I have power, wealth, honour, and all things glorious and delightful, my seat is no other than the ‘seat of God.’ Here was the great pride of this prince, who arrogated to himself a deity, and affected divine honour” (An Exposition of Ezekiel, p. 613).
