The Vast Reach of Judgment
The list of condemned nations includes the powerful city-states of Tyre and Sidon, along with 'the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea.' Commentators note this could refer to a specific island like Cyprus or, more broadly, to all the coastal regions and lands across the Mediterranean. The key point is that God's judgment is comprehensive, reaching even the most powerful, wealthy, and distant maritime empires. No nation's location or strength places it beyond God's sovereign reach.
