Isaiah 23 prophesies the downfall of Tyre, a wealthy and powerful trading city. Its merchants and sailors are left mourning as the Lord brings judgment on its pride and materialism. Tyre’s strength and riches, which once seemed unshakable, are shown to be temporary under God’s sovereign hand. Yet after seventy years, God promises to restore Tyre—but this time its wealth will serve the Lord, not human greed.
This chapter reminds us that worldly success and wealth can easily become idols if they draw our hearts away from God. But when surrendered to Him, even material blessings can be used for His glory and kingdom purposes.
Earthly riches and power are fleeting, but God’s rule is eternal. True prosperity is found when we use what we have to honor and serve the Lord.
