[:en]A PROPHECY ABOUT TYRE
Tyre and Sidon were Phoenecian cities of great wealth. It was the shipping and trading center with successful economy. But the prophet warned that it will soon be wiped out. The people of the island and the inhabitants of Sidon were stunned into silence (vs. 1-6, 14). Anguish came and joy left the city (v. 7). The Lord Almighty planned it to bring down the pride of all glory and to humble all who are renowned on the earth (v. 9)
Assyria destroyed Tyre and Sidon and they were out of business for 70 years. At the end of 70 years, it will be restored and their earnings will be set apart for the Lord. (v. 18)[:]
