Tyre is used as a cautionary tale for other nations in history that follow its example. Through the illustration of a perfectly constructed and beautifully designed ship, it came to nothing when an east wind blew it to pieces in a moment. The lesson is that poverty or wealth in Heaven is what will ultimately matter.

1. Someone who has everything but God will ultimately have nothing.

2. Wealth promises everything, especially what it can't deliver.

3. Use things and love people, not the other way around.
