📚 Historical Context

Ezekiel was a prophet in Judah during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, delivering messages of judgment and hope to the exiled people. In Ezekiel 28, he addresses the king of Tyre in a poetic oracle, depicting him as a once-flawless guardian figure who fell due to sin, which scholars often link to themes of pride and rebellion in the broader biblical narrative. This passage serves as a warning to nations about the consequences of turning away from God.
