God's Sovereignty in History

The verse begins with God's declaration, "I will bring upon Tyre Nebuchadrezzar." Commentators emphasize that this is not a mere prediction but a statement of divine action. God is the primary agent, using the powerful Babylonian king as His chosen instrument of judgment. This highlights the biblical theme of God's sovereignty over the affairs of nations and the course of history.
