Ezekiel 25 & 26 – Who are the sons of Ammon? Also, a city called Tyre. 2019

Ezek 25:2
"Son of man, set your face toward the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them,

The origin of the Ammonites goes way back to the book of Genesis. They are descendants of incest, a relationship Lot had with his youngest daughter.

Gen. 19:33-38 So they made their father drink wine that night, and the first-born went in and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. 34And it came about on the morrow, that the first-born said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve our family through our father.” 35So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger arose and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. 36Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father. 37And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day. 38And as for the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.

Therefore, they are related to Israel. Ammon means "inbred."

Ezek 25:3
and say to the sons of Ammon, 'Hear the word of the Lord GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because you said, 'Aha!' against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into exile,

However, even thought they were related, they hated Israel and were bitter enemies with them. Notice the term "Aha!" It is difficult to fit that term into a sentence of encouragement. The fact is, they were delighted over the destruction of Israel, Judah, and the temple. They thought the destruction of the people and of the temple justified their pagan practices and their sad existence.
This section in Ezekiel (chapter 25-32) deals with the judgment of the nations surrounding Jerusalem. Chapter 25 deals with prophecies against the Ammonites, Moab, Edom, and the Philistines.

The previous section (chapters 11-24) dealt with prophecies concerning the coming destruction of Jerusalem. At this point in Ezekiel, that has now happened. Since Ezekiel is in business as a prophet and not in business as a historian, he will no longer deal with the destruction of Jerusalem.

Chapter 26 contains one of the most remarkable examples of fulfilled prophecy. Ezekiel is going to prophesy against a city called Tyre. Tyre was the capital of Phoenicia which was famous for it's seagoing traditions. It was once a great city and the king of Phoenicia was once a friend of King David. But this land was the center of Baal worship. This was the god worshiped by the wicked Jezebel.

Elohim is going to judge this city and the literal fulfillment of this prophecy is interesting, to say the least. The prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel were shadows of the Messiah to come in the next 500 years or so. Jeremiah saw the coming destruction of Jerusalem and openly wept.

Jer. 9:1

Yeshua also wept for Jerusalem in the same way.

Luke 19:41-44

Ezekiel is going to prophesy judgment against people surrounding Jerusalem in this section. Yeshua did the same thing.

Luke 10:13-15
