1 | Question about Tyre | Is 23:1 | Vannessa | 63327 | ||
The real question is "If the Bible was really inspired by an omniscient, omnipotent deity, why would he have directed one prophet to predict a temporary destruction of Tyre and then later direct another prophet to predict that Tyre would be destroyed forever and never be rebuilt?" I found this on another forum and was curious about your answer. V |

2 | Question about Tyre | Is 23:1 | jlpangilinan | 63328 | ||
God directed the prophets to predict the distruction of Tyre so it will be known by man. Who give the prediction to the prophets anyway? who give them powers to predict the things that will happen in the future? it is God, if God dont know that Tyre will destroy in the future (times of the prophet) He cannot give the prediction to them that those things will happen. The wickedness and idolatry of this city are frequently denounced by the prophets, and its final destruction predicted (Isa 23:1; Jer 25:22; Eze 26:1-21; 28:1-19; Am 1:9-10; Zec 9:2-4) God bless, Johnny |

3 | Question about Tyre | Is 23:1 | Vannessa | 63335 | ||
Johnny, Thank you so much for your response, it is greatly appreciated. So I understand that many prophets throughout the Bible predicted this destruction. Did any other religion or document predict this destruction? I'm not familiar with this scripture, was Tyre actually destroyed, if so when and do you know the given name of this area on today's maps? Now I'm very curious, LOL. Anyway thanks again for your help. Have a good week, V |

4 | Question about Tyre | Is 23:1 | Morant61 | 63358 | ||
Greetings Vanessa! I have taken the following information from Josh McDowell's, "Evidence that Demands a Verdict", pp. 285-291. In this section, Josh McDowell presents historical evidence about the fulfillment of the very detailed prophecy in Ez. 26:3-21. He lists the following predictions from this passage: a) Nebuchadnezzar will destroy the mainland city of Tyre (26:8). b) Many nations against Tyre (26:3). c) Make her a bare rock; flat like the top of a rock (26:4). d) Fishermen will spread nets over the site (26:5). e) Throw the debris into the water (26:12). f) Never be rebuilt (26:14). g) Never to be found again (26:21). Now, let's look at what happened concerning each prediction. a) The mainland city of Tyre was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 538 b.c. However, when he broke the gates down, he discovered that the majority of the people had fled to an island about half a mile from the coast and had fortified a city there. b) Wave after wave of nations, came against Tyre for centuries to come. c) Alexander the Great scraped the old site of Tyre bare when he used the material from the old city to build a causeway out to the island city so that he could attack it. d) Numerous secular writers make mention of the fact that fishing nets are spread out over the rocks of the city. e) This was fulfilled when Alexander threw the debris of the old city into the water to create a causeway out to the island. f) Other defeated cities were rebuilt, but Tyre still remains bare rock. g) What was once a great city, is not a place where fisherman in a small village spread their nets. I would recommend that you pick up a copy of this book. There is a lot of historical information about this city in it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Vanessa! Correct, Tyre no longer exists. It used to be located off of the Southern coast of Lebenon and was a Phoencian city. Today, there is a small fishing village built on the location. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
