Did you not read Ezekiel 28:12? 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. The Historians and Bible commentaries say: It may be gathered from the prophetical Scriptures and from Josephus that the conquest of Jerusalem was rapidly followed BY THE FALL of Tyre and the complete submission of Phœnicia, Ezek. 26–28; after which the Babylonians carried their arms into Egypt, and inflicted severe injuries on that fertile country. Jer. 46:13-26; Ezek. 29:2-20. We are told that the first care of Nebuchadnezzar, on obtaining quiet possession of his kingdom after the first Syrian expedition, was to rebuild the temple of Bel (Bel-Merodach) at Babylon out of the spoils of the Syrian war. He next proceeded to strengthen and beautify the city, which he renovated throughout and surrounded with several lines of fortifications, himself adding one entirely new quarter. Having finished the walls and adorned the gates magnificently, he constructed a new palace. In the grounds of this palace he formed the celebrated "hanging garden," which the Greeks placed among the seven wonders of the world. But he did not confine his efforts to the ornamentation and improvement of his capital. Throughout the empire, at Borsippa, Sippara, Cutha, Chilmad, Duraba, Teredon, and a multitude of other places, he built or rebuilt cities, repaired temples, constructed quays, reservoirs, canals and aqueducts, on a scale of grandeur and magnificence surpassing everything of the kind recorded in history, unless it be the constructions of one or two of the greatest Egyptian monarchs. The wealth, greatness, and general prosperity of Nebuchadnezzar are strikingly placed before us in the book of Daniel. Other historians, Eusebius and Berosus, also confirm the account.At the time of the crusades it was still a flourishing city, when it surrendered to the Christians on the 27th of June, 1144. It continued more than a century and a half in the hands of Christians, but was deserted by its inhabitants in a.d. 1291, upon the conquest of Acre (Ptolemais) by the sultan of Egypt and Damascus. This was the turning-point in the history of Tyre, which has never recovered from the blow. Its present condition is a FULFILLMENT of Ezekiel’s prophecy, Ezek. 26:5.

He Man You keep going back to Ezekiel 28:12 but what is your point? Haven't you ever heard or saw a prophecy have two meanings, one usually in the natural and one spiritual. Yes Tyre was a great city and it did fall. But this passage has been nearly universally accepted to be speaking of Satan also. Now if you dispute that okay, come out and say it and lets see where you are coming from. Your veiled or cryptic posts are about as tiring as possible. Either clearly say what you mean spelling out your hypothesis and offering support or keep quiet. This tendency of quoting a non related verse of scripture makes no sense. Please don't confuse cryptic with spiritual, that is common mistake made by people that have no idea of spiritually. EdB EdB |

I and many historians dispute that and here is why: CARBUNCLE. This word represents two Hebrew words. The first may be a general term to denote any bright, sparkling gem, Isa. 54:12; the second, Ex. 28:17; 39:10; EZEK 28:13, is supposed to be the smaragdus or emerald! Prophecy of Ezekiel.—The book is divided into two great parts, of which the destruction of Jerusalem is the turning-point. Chapters 1-24 contain predictions delivered before that event, and chs. 25-48 after it, as we seen from ch. 26:2. Again, chs. 1-32 are mainly occupied with correction, denunciation and reproof, while the remainder deal chiefly in consolation and promise. A parenthetical section in the middle of the book, chs. 25-32, contains a group of prophecies against seven foreign nations, the septenary arrangement being apparently intentional. There are no direct quotations from Ezekiel in the New Testament. He next proceeded to strengthen and beautify the city, which he renovated throughout and surrounded with several lines of fortifications, himself adding one entirely new quarter. Having finished the walls and adorned the gates magnificently, he constructed a new palace. In the grounds of this palace he formed the celebrated "hanging garden," which the Greeks placed among the seven wonders of the world.
