Ezekiel 26: When God Claps Back

When wronged, we often wonder if God notices those who celebrate our downfall. In this illuminating exploration of Ezekiel 26, Pastor Brandon reveals a pivotal shift in God's message as He turns His attention from Israel to their enemies—specifically Tyre, a wealthy maritime power that rejoiced over Jerusalem's destruction.

The episode "When God Claps Back" unpacks the detailed prophecy against Tyre with striking imagery: siege walls, battering rams, and the declaration that this mighty city would become nothing more than "a bare rock" for fishermen. Building on previous chapters that focused on Israel's sins and punishment, we now witness God addressing those who took advantage of Israel's suffering. This juxtaposition offers profound insight into divine justice—it may not operate on our timetable, but it never forgets.

Pastor Brandon addresses a common spiritual struggle: feeling God is so focused on correcting us that He's not dealing with those who harm us. "God can do more than one thing at a time," he reminds listeners. "He's working in ways we will never know." This perspective liberates us from the exhausting task of monitoring whether God is "on task" with our enemies. Instead, we can release situations to His perfect timing while focusing on our own healing journey. Perhaps most comforting is the realization that the patience God shows toward others reflects the same grace extended to us—a humbling reminder that justice and mercy coexist in God's perfect plan.
