  1. Tyre, in Ezekiel\u2019s time<\/em>. In Ezekiel\u2019s time, Tyre was still an island (it would be connected to the coast with earthworks in the time of Alexander the Great). It was a merchant marine superpower, and consistently opposed Babylonia. In return, Nebuchadnezzar besieged it for a long time (13 years!). According to the date at the beginning of the chapter, the prophecy was spoken during this siege, and it expresses confidence in its success. By the way, Tyre was not actually destroyed – but withstood it valiantly. Ezekiels prophecy in another 3 chapters (Ezek. 29) will relate to that.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Like the ocean<\/em>. Tyre is an island and a port city, and in the prophecy you\u2019ll find evidence of a lot of water. For instance in verse 3: \u201cI will hurl many nations against you, As the sea hurls its waves.\u201d Notice the wet footsteps too in verses 5, 12 and 19.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Horror show<\/em>. That\u2019s how the prophecy ends: \u201cI will make you a horror\u201d (verse 21).The memory of the downfall of Tyre will be horrific to all those who hear it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
