Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: 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 |
