Isa 23:1, THE BURDEN AGAINST TYRE. WAIL, YOU SHIPS OF TARSHISH! FOR IT IS LAID WASTE, SO THAT THERE IS NO HOUSE, NO HARBOR; …
The people of Tyre were known as Phoenicians who had many ships. It was the commercial capital of the world bringing in good and material from all over the known world!
Isa 23:9, THE LORD OF HOSTS HAS PURPOSED IT, TO BRING TO DISHONOR THE PRIDE OF ALL GLORY, TO BRING INTO CONTEMPT ALL THE HONORABLE OF THE EARTH.
Because of it’s great success as a shipping harbor Tyre became proud of it’s accomplishments! PRIDE is an abomination to the LORD, and to think that our country celebrates PRIDE with it’s own month! JUDGEMENT IS COMING!
Pro 16:5, EVERYONE PROUD IN HEART IS AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD; Though they join forces, NONE WILL GO UNPUNISHED.
Isa 23:13, Behold, the land of the Chaldeans, This people which was not; Assyria founded it for wild beasts of the desert. THEY SET UP ITS TOWERS, THEY RAISED UP ITS PALACES, AND BROUGHT IT TO RUIN.
The main land of Tyre was indeed defeated by both the Assyrians and Babylonians. The people Tyre moved out to a small island off it’s shores to get away from Alexander the Great!
Eze 26:12, They will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; THEY WILL LAY YOUR STONES, YOUR TIMBER, AND YOUR SOIL IN THE MIDST OF THE WATER.
In order to reach Tyre who were on the island, Alexander had to make a land bridge from the ruins of Tyre. Strange prophecy, but it fulfilled by Alexander the Great!
The destruction of these nations will continue, but there is one kingdom which will never end!
Dan 7:13-14, “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN, COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him. THEN TO HIM WAS GIVEN DOMINION AND GLORY AND A KINGDOM, THAT ALL PEOPLES, NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES SHOULD SERVE HIM. HIS DOMINION IS AN EVERLASTING DOMINION, WHICH SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, AND HIS KINGDOM THE ONE WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED.
The kingdom of the COMING KING, JESUS is from everlasting to everlasting! And HE Shall reign forever! The pride of nations and people will come to an end! Be Ready HE is COMING!
