📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was prophesying during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, a time when Judah was under foreign domination and God was using prophets to warn surrounding nations of their sins. In this chapter, the prophecy targets the king of Tyre, portraying him as a proud ruler whose arrogance mirrors that of a fallen angelic being, symbolizing Tyre's wealth and maritime power. The "pit" and "deaths in the midst of the seas" refer to a humiliating downfall and death, reflecting the city's vulnerability despite its island stronghold.
