How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

If you're not a follower of Jesus, one of the things about the Bible that should make you sit up and take notice is the number of

prophecies that have actually been fulfilled. Event after event,

prediction after prediction, God foretold his story down to the smallest detail.

Welcome to Through the Bible, I'm Steve Sweats, your host on this five-year journey through the entire

word of God.

Our teacher, of course, is Dr. J. Vernon McGee, and he takes the Bible bus through the Old Testament book of

Ezekiel chapter 27 and this section of scripture known as the Lamentation of

Tyre is the perfect example of the fulfilled prophecies that I just mentioned.

Let's pray and go right into our study.

Heavenly Father, thank you for your enduring word.

Thank you for the grace that you give us, your people.

Help us, Lord, to hear your voice now in Jesus

name we pray. Amen. Now here's Dr. J. Verde Mcgee with our study of

Ezekiel 27 on through the Bible.

Now we saw last time the prophecy concerning tar,

and how that prophecy has already been literally fulfilled and actually the ruins of that

city over there today stands as a witness to the accuracy of the word of God and it is indeed remarkable.

Now this was such an impressive city in Ezekiel's day and actually he'd never seen it he'd never been there at all but he

gives to us here now in the 27th chapter what is I would, one of the great chapters of the Bible, it's a lamentation to be specific,

and it's a lamentation, very very frankly of the city that fell and it was a great city.

I don't want to minimize that at all.
