God Uses Unlikely Agents
Commentators explain that this verse identifies the Chaldeans (Babylonians) as the future destroyers of Tyre. The shock value is that the Chaldeans were once a nomadic, insignificant people. God raised this 'nobody' nation to topple the world's most glamorous commercial power. This shows that God's power is not limited to the mighty; He can use anyone or any nation, no matter how humble their origins, to fulfill His sovereign plans.
