The king of Tyre was haughty and positioned himself as a god. Jewels and merchandise surrounded him. Because he thought of himself as greater than he ought, God sentenced him to die at the hands of strangers, like being thrown away at sea. God told Ezekiel to take up a lamentation for the king; in it, he described all his riches and that he was like a cherub in the Garden of Eden, guarding the entrance to paradise. Sadly, when you think of yourself as a god, the One True God will put you in your place, and that’s what happened to the king of Tyre. Compared to our current situation, I can see the current leader of the free world being a king similar to the king of Tyre, dripping with wealth and holding unimaginable power. I can see him resembling him more than David or the Persian king, but let’s hope that’s not the case; only time will tell. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for what he is doing for our country, but I have no intention of putting him ahead of God, nor should you. God can use whoever he wants to bring about His plan. As a precaution, sleep in your armor, and God will do the rest. We are hidden in Jesus so we can rest peacefully knowing he has us covered, but if you must unsheathe the sword, remember that God fights for us, so we need not worry. 

And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God. Ezekiel 28:26
