nebuchadnezzar was only able to vassalize egypt for a little while but egypt later returned in power and subjugated babylon.
sour is tyre in the arabic language. the city is called tyre and it is on the same mass as the ancient city of tyre. further, you raise a moot point sin ...[text shortened]... NO city would be built there. ever.
when will you stop making excuses for your lying god?
Alexander the Great ... reduced [Tyre] to ruins (332 B.C.). She
recovered in a measure from this blow, but never regained the place she
had previously held in the world. The larger part of the site of the once
great city is now bare as the top of a rock -- a place where the fishermen
that still frequent the spot spread their nets to dry.

i didn't feel the need to mention it because the present day city of tyre covers a large part of the original island.
please do some research before embarrassing yourself.
to discredit biblical prophecy. It covers a large part, oh dear, how not very accurate.
Can you say how much? Is the prophecy only partly true then? what of the ancient
Phonecian city, can you tell us how much of it remains and where it can be found,
thanks in advance - robbie.

The prophecy is quite obviously a dud??? Oh really, perhaps we shall examine its
details,
(Zechariah 9:3-4) . . .And Tyre proceeded to build a rampart for herself, and to pile
up silver like dust and gold like the mire of [the] streets. Look! Jehovah himself will
dispossess her, and into the sea he will certainly strike down her military force; and
in the fire she herself will be devoured.
which part of this prophecy is a dud, FMF, do tell, that Tyres military force was not
pitched into the sea, that it was not burned with fire? Do tell.

Tyre was rebuilt. The prophecy is a dud. Do you hawk this kind of stuff door to door? 🙂
underneath the sea, how desolate do you want a city uninhabited underneath the sea
to become FMF.

after all, its underneath the sea, desolate, you bet, its underneath the sea. Why you
continue to attempt to make it personal is perhaps an indication of being bereft of
reason. Your sister has not been to the ancient Phonecian city of Tyre, its underneath
the sea, she has been to a Lebanese city built on a peninsula. Why you cannot make
the distinction, I cannot say.

ancient Phonecian city, did I mention its underneath the sea? If there are any ruins
they are Greco-Roman or from the period of the crusaders, not the Phonecian city
which was destroyed and is where, underneath the sea. Is this the best you can do
FMF, does this kind of stuff really pass among the populace for a refutation of a Biblical
prophecy, how lacking in integrity.
Did Alexander come along and pitch the city destroyed by Nebuchandezzar into the
sea, build a causeway and destroy the ancient Phonecian city (not the modern
Lebanese city) so that its now uninhabited and desolate?

The more pertinent question would be, how many cities of the ancient Levant and Near East were not destroyed at some point?!
Pretty low i reckon, i would guess that all the major trading cities were destroyed at least once.
destroyed is well documented, the Bible is unerring it providing details, not some
haphazard, you might be destroyed or you might not.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe city of Tyre was rebuilt. It isn't a Phoenician city now. There is no Phoenicia. It had already been rebuilt in the Greco-Roman times and from the period of the Crusaders, as you have apparently inadvertently conceded. Does this kind of stuff really pass among the Christian populace as a Biblical prophecy come true? Whatever floats your boat, robbie.
