| | Oracle against Tyre |
 | | Tyre was the "marketplace for the nations" (23:3). | | | Chapter 23 is a prophecy against Tyre, a chief city of the Phoenicians—inextricably linked to Sidon, of which Tyre was the primary colony. | | | Sargon had completed the Assyrians' five-year siege of Tyre in 720 B.C. It is possible that this prophecy of Isaiah is out of chronological order and was actually given previous to many other prophecies we've been reading—back to before Tyre's fall. |

| | Hogan's Errors Concerning Pronouns [pp. 4-6] |
| | Hogan claims that Ezekiel 26:7-11 prophesied only that Nebuchadnezzar would lay siege to Tyre, not that he would destroy it, but I suggest that he read the text again. | | | Ezekiel's prophecy against Tyre is often cited as an amazing example of prophecy fulfillment, so it should be a subject of interest to TSR readers. | | | In support of his assertion that "Nebuchadnezzar didn't destroy Tyre, because he wasn't the one prophesied to do so," Hogan said, "Indeed, Ezekiel mentions (29:18-19) that the Babylonian king would receive `wages from Tyre.'" Apparently, Hogan has difficulty understanding fairly plain language, because this is not what Ezekiel 29:18-19 actually said. |

| | The destruction of Tyre - Page 2 - IIDB |
| | All you have is ONE Christian apologist making the bogus claim that the island fortress of Tyre IS underwater (and he probably came up with that while standing ON the island fortress of Tyre, believing himself to be on the mainland). | | | Which allows the mainland part of Tyre to be rebuilt, without overturning the prophecy. | | | Lee, the plain and simple truth is that the island fortress of Tyre is NOT underwater. |

| | Ezekiel and the Oracles against Tyre |
| | Ezekiel was among the first deportees and probably wrote much of the book from the perspective of exile in Babylon between the first deportation in 598 and the destruction of Jerusalem in 586. | | | It was a wealthy city since it was the primary commercial seaport in the Eastern Mediterranean linking shipping to Cyprus, Italy, Greece, Spain, and North Africa with land caravans from Arabia, Babylon, Persia, and as far east as India. | | | Because of its location, it could be easily defended and could be re-supplied from the sea. |

| | Judgment Against Tyre |
| | Throughout history, the additional fulfillments of prophecy against Tyre would also pass this confidence on to future generations of Jews and to all of God's people. | | | Ezekiel 26:14 -- Tyre exists today thus the prophecy that it will never be rebuilt is false. | | | Ezekiel 26 prophecies the many nations will provide the more complete destruction, not the Babylonian nation. |

| | A PROBLEM OF UNFULFILLED PROPHECY IN EZEKIEL: THE DESTRUCTION OF TYRE (EZEKIEL 26:1-14 and 29:18-20) |
| | Judging from the sources cited by Josephus, by the time of the LXX it was common scholarly knowledge in the Hellenistic world that Tyre had survived the attack by Nebuchadnezzar. | | | We will further narrow our focus to a single set of passages in Ezekiel, his prediction of the destruction of Tyre at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar (26:1-14) and his subsequent promise of booty from Egypt as payment to Nebuchadnezzar for his arduous labor against the island stronghold (29:17-20). | | | But it is certainly possible to raise serious doubt as to the validity of the claim. |
