timber in Ezekiel 26
TIM-ber
This thing shows up in Ezekiel 26:12: “They will make a plunder of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise. They will break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Ezekiel 26:12
“They will make a plunder of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise. They will break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses. They will lay your stones, your timber, and your dust in the middle of the waters.”
What kids can learn
When you hear timber in Ezekiel, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
