Ezekiel (Eze 26:1) And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
(Eze 26:2) Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:
(Eze 26:3) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.
(Eze 26:4) And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
(Eze 26:5) It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
(Eze 26:6) And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
(Eze 26:7) For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
(Eze 26:8) He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
(Eze 26:9) And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
(Eze 26:10) By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
(Eze 26:11) With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
(Eze 26:12) And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
(Eze 26:13) And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
(Eze 26:14) And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
(Eze 26:15) Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
(Eze 26:16) Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.
(Eze 26:17) And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!
(Eze 26:18) Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
(Eze 26:19) For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
(Eze 26:20) When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
(Eze 26:21) I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.

Questions about what materials to use for Science topics.
When completing curriculum for education.....should Christians use only "creationist" science materials, should Christians use "big bang/evolution" science materials or should Christians use both?
Answer: USE BOTH if it applies to "laws" and general rules that are proven, like laws of gravity and laws about the speed of light.
Use ONLY creation material if the material presents QUALITY details about animal life and behavior (squirrels are very important in creation.....Darwinism only focuses on a "few" select animals). Use ONLY creation material if it encourages the student to live a clean-pure life rather than haphazard sexual impurity lifestyle. Use ONLY creation material if it encourages proper study in astronomy that shows how the planets move in their timing in accordance to the laws of "GOD".....the pattern of "Seven" and so forth.
Use ONLY "big bang/evolution" science materials if the details presented are TRUE and have better details than creation-based literature. What about that "life" on mars....why would there be water on such a planet? What about the protons-neutrons-electrons in the element of "gold" on the periodic table? How does the Chemistry formula work exactly?
Be sure to focus on "practical science"......science that the child will use for the rest of his or her life. Health-care issues, natural medicine, environmental issues, mechanics of different things for agriculture and so forth.
