Eze 28
The description for the king of Tyre is likened to that of Satan, who was the most beautiful angel until he decided to put himself higher than God. The root is pride, to see oneself as God. This was also the original sin committed by Adam n Eve. Pride is usually quite deceptive, and seemingly harmless or beneficial. Hence it is impt for us to keep ourselves in check, lest we fall into the pride trap.

Eze 29-30
When I read Ezekiel's prophecy over Egypt, I'm reminded tt Egypt is like a symbol of bondages to the sinful nature. Though at times we may feel that there is no escape from the cycle of sin, God declares His sovereignty and sets things into motion in our lives, to expose our sins or to waken us up into action to cry for freedom.

Indeed the prophecies given to Ezekiel speak of the supreme sovereignty of our God. We can trust in his unfailing love for us, not just to comfort us, but to teach and exhort us when necessary.

Eze 31
Ezekiel continued to prophesy against Pharoah. Now comparing him with Assyria, which was like a great tree that towered above the rest. This reminded me of the Tower of Babel, which men built in order to reach heaven, and make a name for themselves. Again, we see the deep root of pride in men. If God has allowed us to continue in this pride, it won't be long before we destroy ourselves. Because of His great love, we are not consumed.
