20. the pit —Tyre's disappearance is compared to that of the dead placed in their sepulchres and no more seen among the living (compare Ezekiel 32:18 ; Ezekiel 32:23 ; Isaiah 14:11 ; Isaiah 14:15 ; Isaiah 14:19 ). I shall set glory in the land —In contrast to Tyre consigned to the "pit" of death, I shall set glory (that is, My presence symbolized by the Shekinah cloud, the antitype to which shall be Messiah, "the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father," John 1:14 ; Isaiah 4:2 ; Isaiah 4:5 ; Zechariah 6:13 ) in Judah. of the living —as opposed to Tyre consigned to the "pit" of death. Judea is to be the land of national and spiritual life, being restored after its captivity ( Ezekiel 47:9 ). FAIRBAIRN loses the antithesis by applying the negative to both clauses, "and that thou be not set as a glory in the land of the living." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-21" class="com-number"
