And thus the Lord threatened the King of Tyre (Ezek. 28.17.) Whose heart was lifted up because of his beauty, and who had corrupted his wisdom by reason of his brightness. Now what will the Lord do? what course will he take with him? The next words inform us; I will cast thee to the ground, and I will lay thee before Kings, that they may behold thee; He doth not say, I will cast thee into the ground, but to the ground, and lay thee before Kings; that is, thou shalt he a spectacle for all the Kings of the Earth, that they may behold as what thy pride and self-confidence have brought thee to, so what their own (if they tread thy path) either will or justly may bring them unto. Thus also in the 7th verse of Jude, Epistle, the Apostle saith, that Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of Eternal fire. The Judgements of God are not only punishments to them who went before, but premonitions to them who come after.
And thus the Lord threatned the King of Tyrus (Ezek. 28.17.) Whose heart was lifted up because of his beauty, and who had corrupted his wisdome by reason of his brightnesse. Now what will the Lord doe? what course will he take with him? The next words enforme us; I will cast thee to the ground, and I will lay thee before Kings, that they may behold thee; He doth not say, I will cast thee into the ground, but to the ground, and lay thee before Kings; that is, thou shalt he a spectacle for all the Kings of the Earth, that they may behold as what thy pride and selfe-confidence have brought thee to, so what their owne (if they tread thy path) eyther will or justly may bring them unto. Thus also in the 7th verse of Jude, Epistle, the Apostle sayth, that Sodome and Gomorrha, and the Cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of Eternal fire. The Judgements of God are not onely punishments to them who went before, but premonotions to them who come after.
