For her many transgressions, the ancient commercial city of Tyre was reduced to a rock upon which fishermen spread their nets.

Welcome to our chapter-by-chapter Bible study through the Book of Ezekiel with Ezekiel 26-27 – Flattened Tyre, a powerful expository sermon from Calvary Chapel! This video explores the ancient city of Tyre, a hub of commerce and wealth, and its prophetic destruction as a cautionary tale against the love of money. Join us for an in-depth Bible study unpacking the perils of choosing mammon over God and the freedom found in discipleship through Jesus Christ.

In Ezekiel 26-27, God pronounces judgment on Tyre, a Phoenician city known for its economic dominance and moral corruption. We examine how Tyre’s obsession with wealth—gold, silver, precious stones, and slaves—led to its downfall, as prophesied by Ezekiel and fulfilled through Nebuchadnezzar’s siege and Alexander the Great’s conquest. Learn how Tyre’s idolatry of mammon, exemplified by figures like Jezebel and the trafficking of Jews, mirrors modern materialism and spiritual dangers. This sermon draws parallels to Jesus’ teaching, “You cannot serve God and mammon,” and highlights the biblical prophecy fulfilled with stunning accuracy, as noted by Peter Stoner’s probability analysis.

This Bible study is ideal for Christians, Bible prophecy enthusiasts, and those seeking expository sermons on Christianity, Jesus, and Old Testament teachings. We delve into Ezekiel’s vivid imagery of Tyre as a shipwrecked vessel, explore the spiritual implications of mammon as a demonic force, and offer practical applications for living a life devoted to God. Discover how generosity, as David Jeremiah suggests, counters the lure of wealth and aligns with God’s call to love Him and others.
