Subject: Question about Tyre |
Bible Note: Johnny, Here is a response to your information: “Vanessa, that wasn't the question i asked. When you are talking about that prophecy you said it came true because "f) Never be rebuilt (26:14). " and you said it was never rebuilt. However, Isaiah (13-23) prophesied that it would be made desolate only for a period of 70 years. The question was why would an omniscient being tell one prophet that Tyre would be destroyed for 70 years and tell another prophet it would be destroyed forever and tell another prophet it would only be destroyed for 70 years? The prophecy that i asked you about that was only Ezekiel, for example, prophesied that Nebuchadnezzar would destroy Egypt and leave it utterly desolate for a period of 40 years, during which no foot of man or beast would pass through it (chapter 20). However, history records no such desolation during or after the reign of Nebachadezzer. Also, the Tyre still exists today. Just wondering what are the man's credentials that wrote that book?” __________ Can you or anyone answer this poster's question? Thank you sooooo much for your help, it's much appreciated. Also I'm learning alot from your responses thanks so much! V |
