The Tyre prophecy is a judgement fulfilled in steps.
1. Nebby and the nations destroyed the mainland city.
2. Tyre's main economic theme would be fishing verses its former world trade system
3. Tyre in the end because of it's CONTINUED hostility against Israel (hostility against the Jews and Jerusalem is a reflection of hostility towards God) will be destroyed by the sea.

The first two have been fulfilled.

Tyre is the island. Always was. This mainland Tyre stupidity has been shot down so many times.

More fantasy. The desperate lengths you go to create some semblance of fulfillment must be depressing even to you... Oh, I forgot, you don't reflect on what you write.

Oh, so it hasn't been fulfilled. I guess it must be because of the hostility of a few thousand Hezbollah whooping the asses of the Israelis that god will finally get off his butt and flatten Tyre after a few thousand years of unfulfillment.

Tyre was the island. Always was. This stupidity has been shot down so many times, you're just boring.

Tyre was both the island and mainland (see google map tour guides, this is the site they love to post and yet this site that Tyre was a "double city" so much for Atheist integrity).

All one has to do is look up modern Tyre and guess what Fishing is quite popular there...just as Ezekiel predicted....I dont even have to argue about this one.


Tyre will be destroyed by God....No nation was to destroy it....only to reduce Tyre which has been done.....Tyre prophecy proves that God not only exist....but He will return. :wave:

Even the skeppies in Zekey's time thought prophecy/visions failed: Zekey 12:22

Irrelevant. Nebby didn't destroy the island, which Ezekiel said he would.

Gosh, a prophecy that a city in a warm, coastal area would be a popular place for fishing. I think the technical term for that is "no brainer."

So ... God not having destroyed the city yet proves that he exists? Hmm. I've heard of low standards, but that is ridiculous.

None of which matters, because the Tyre prophecy was specific: Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon's armies would destroy Tyre.

It did not happen, however.

Result? PROPHECY FAILS! :rolling:

Which is irrelevant since it doesn't talk about Tyre.

Nebuchadnezzar was there to destroy Tyre. If he did he would've left in a couple of days. He was there for 13 years. Game over supacaveman.

Atheists have far more integrity than you do.

Which shows a city of over 100,000 people - which is itself a contradiction to the prophecy, which said the city would fall and never be found again, and never inhabited.

Quote:

No, what Ezekiel predicted is that the city would be scraped bare and tossed into the sea. Instead, we have a bustling small city of 100,000 people.

Result? PROPHECY FAILS! :rolling:

It wouldn't matter; you don't have the ammunition to argue it anyhow.
