Thus says the Lord: Behold , I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life. – Amplified Bible.

The reader has probably noticed that the name Nebuchadnezzar is in Jeremiah also frequently spelled Nebuchadrezzar. This is also true in Ezekiel. “The two forms represent different Hebrew methods of reproducing the name.” [Davis Bible Dictionary.]

And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her bare like the top of a rock. – Amplified Bible.

To prevent Nebuchadnezzar from getting her valuables, Tyre transported herself to an island a half mile out in the sea. The conqueror destroyed the city and left.

But more than two centuries later, Alexander the Great took the ruins of the old city, even scraping up the dust, and made a causeway to the island, thus fulfilling the prophecy exactly.

And I will make you, [Tyre,] a bare rock; you shall be a place upon which to spread nets; you shall never be rebuilt; for I the Lord have spoken it, says the Lord God. – Amplified Bible.

According to Herodotus, Tyre’s history began in B.C. 2750. It was a fortified city in Joshua’s time [Joshua 19:29 [show/hide]ERROR: You have exceeded your quota of 5000 requests per day.

], and later became a great maritime commercial centre.

Yet Jeremiah [27:2-7; 47:4] and Ezekiel [26:3-21; 28:6-10] foretold utter destruction of Tyre, naming not less than twenty-five separate details, each of which in the following centuries came true literally.

Mathematicians have estimated, according to the Law of Compound Probabilities, that if a prophecy concerning a person, place, or event has twenty-five details beyond possibility of human calculation, collusion, collaboration, comprehension, and coincidence, there is only one chance in more than thirty-three and one-half millions of its accidental fulfillment.

Yet Tyre’s history at the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, then centuries later at the hands of Alexander the Great, and centuries after that at the hands of the Crusaders, was the striking fulfillment of each detail of the prophets’ forecasts.

Nor could any other city in the world’s history have fulfilled them. The authenticity of God’s Word leaves no chance for sane denial.
