"None of these players are in God 's favorite line-up of people : Nebuchadnezzar , Tyre , Egypt . He has determined judgments on all players in this game . Tyre is first to receive the penalty of her errors and God sends Nebuchadnezzar to lay a siege against her . In judging Tyre , God also judges Nebuchadnezzar . Not all of the prophecies against Tyre are fulfilled because God changes his mind about his immediate judgment of the city . He is not under duress to give us his reason why , though you can be sure of this : he completely fulfills his words against the wicked city at a later time . Like a puppet under his control , he turns the heart of Nebuchadnezzar toward Egypt and placates him through the words of the prophet by saying that he will pay the king back for his hard work which ended in frustration . Never in the text does Ezekiel `` admit he was wrong `` as you believe or in any way accuse God . The prophet utters a lengthy judgment against Egypt and the king turns his wrath toward that southern country . He labors hard to conquer it but he does not succeed . God has again changed his mind for the immediate time for reasons we do not understand . God will fully bring his predictions against Egypt to pass at a later time . In the end , three entities are brought low , wasted , assets evaporated , judged : Nebuchadnezzar , Tyre , and Egypt . God has had his way with them . Ezekiel never `` admits he was wrong `` and he never accuses God ."
"So once again youÂ ’ re steering away from the debate ? I do n't understand why your ignoring the debate and going off in a whole new direction even after making this same mistake in your last post . You 're still showing that the Bible has a flaw in it and therefore your making up your own story about what happened . You 're also making predictions about the future based on your own interpretation . I 'm sure you wo n't even considered that your wrong about either of these things though I doubt you have any reason to believe in either of them other than you have the idea stuck in your head now . [ quote ] The above fully answers the apparent contradiction you and others find in these passages . The reason you may think I may be presenting information contrary to normative Christian teaching is that you have picked a peculiarly thorny passage - something that skeptics of the Bible and enemies of God will almost always do . [ \QUOTE ] It only answers the contradiction after you fill in the blanks with your own interpretation and of course your interpretation is based on your personal views and no facts . All the facts that you can work with are in the Bible and as of this moment the Bible seems to have a flaw in it . Your trying to cover this flaw with a story that you made up . I guess in your mind this makes sense but I do n't think many Christians would even agree with you much less those of us who look for logic ."
