( Ezekiel 26 )
Tyre is going to be destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and remain desolate.
Nebuchadnezzar spent 13 years trying his siege ended 573 BC. with a negotiated settlement. Tyre exists today. It is the 4th largest city in Lebanon with a population of 117,000.
OK but it dose say Neb will destroy Tyre but he doesn't Alexander the Great does 247 years later and doesn't completely destroy it ether. it also says that God would make neb king over all of Egypt, never happened and I'm just asking questions whats the problem cant take any rational skepticism buddy. And the bible is not Gods word! and so what if i cant spell wow your so mature!
 
remaining desolate does not mean it will always remain this way. You must take the words in the context of the persons writing them. They were Hebrews and Hebrews use phrases differently to us. For example the Old Testament says that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and that it will be burning forever and ever; clearly it is not burning today; BUT int the Hebrew context forever and ever can refer to eternal or for a period of time until the process is done. Keeping this context in mind we can understand many other Bible passages ,such as the doctrine of hell. Persons do not burn forever in hell; THIS would be cruel of God and UNLIKE his nature; imagine someone burning from the days of Noah till now; crazy! but this FOREVER is a process; the person burns until consumed and then they are no more. If persons read their bible carefully and with the Holy Spirit guiding them all this confusion would not be.
