the eleventh year. The month not given; but see Jeremiah 39:1-7; Jeremiah 52:4-11. See note on Ezekiel 30:20. Jerusalem fell probably in the fifth month, after the fall but before the destruction in that year of the Temple (2 Kings 25:8). Compare Ezekiel 26:2. This prophecy began to be fulfilled then, and Tyre was taken by Nebuchadnezzar after. thirteen years' siege (see Isaiah 23:1), and Josephus (Antiquities x. 11, 1; cont. Apion, i. 20); but not completely fulfilled till later. Jehovah secs the end from the beginning, and speaks of it by way of prophetic foreshortening. "The day of Jehovah" (Ezekiel 30:3) looks forward to the end.
