OUR LORD WHOSE ARMY OVERWHELMS THE ENEMY

Ezekiel chapter 26 verse 10 says this;

His horses will be so many that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will tremble at the noise of the warhorses, wagons and chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through.

This verse paints the picture of a total invasion of the kingdom of Tyre by the chariots and horsemen of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon.

This massive assault was triggered when Tyre looked upon Jerusalem and the nations who were her allies and saw that they were undefended because the gates were broken and the doors left wide open.

The king of Tyre opportunistically attacked Jerusalem and as he did so, found himself facing a gigantic army that suddenly appeared in a surprise counter-attack  against him.

After laying siege on Tyre and smashing its walls with battering rams, the swarming army thundered into Tyre bringing destruction and quickly razing the whole kingdom to bare rock.

After witnessing the crushing of Tyre, the princes who were allies to Tyre were so traumatized  that they immediately surrendered to the invading army.

As Ezekiel chapter 26 verse 16 says;

Then all the princes of the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and take off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled at you. 

This metaphoric narrative could be read like this;

 The army invading Tyre would be the Kingdom of Light invading the kingdom of darkness. 

The conquering army could be seen as the army of the saints of the Lord defeating the kingdom of  darkness and Tyre's allies could be understood to be the kingdoms of this world who cooperate with the kingdom of darkness to attempt to establish the dominion of evil on the whole earth. 

These events are part of the same invasion that is described by the prophets Joel and Isaiah ;

 Joel chapter 2 verse 2;

Like dawn spreading across the mountains a large and mighty army comes, such as never was in ancient times nor ever will be in ages to come.

and Isaiah chapter 13 verse 4;

Listen, a noise on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations massing together! The Lord Almighty is mustering an army for war.

The Lord musters His army and it is fearsome to behold.

Amen.
