Some of the prophecies do refer to events around the time of their writing but are hyperbole otherwise. For instance there is some truth to Egypt speaking Caananite and worshipping Yahweh, since there were Jewish settlers in "Five cities" and at "The city of the Sun" there was a small temple(Heliopolis).
As for Tyre, Nebuchanezzer besieged it, but he never directly conquered it. |
