Ezekiel 28 - 31

The nation-cities of Tyre and Sidon are given prophecies concerning the punishment that God would bring to them.  Perhaps more chilling than the descriptions of the judgment to come is the statement directly from God "I am against you."  We often say "If God is for us, who can be against us?" but what of this corollary "If God is against us, what use is having everyone for us?"  A sobering thought indeed.  The nation of Egypt is spoken against, and the statement continues that Babylon will plunder the desert nation causing Egypt and her allies to be defeated.
