The "villages on her mainland" indicates the surrounding settlements dependent on Tyre, which were vulnerable to attack. Historically, Tyre was divided into two parts: the mainland city and the island city. The mainland was more accessible to invaders, making it susceptible to conquest. The "sword" symbolizes warfare and divine judgment, often used in prophetic literature to denote God's instrument of punishment. This prophecy was fulfilled through various historical sieges, notably by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and later by Alexander the Great, who destroyed the mainland settlements.<p><b>Then they will know that I am the LORD.</b><br>This phrase underscores the purpose of the judgment: to reveal God's sovereignty and authority. Throughout the Old Testament, the recognition of God as LORD is a recurring theme, especially in the context of judgment and deliverance. The phrase "they will know that I am the LORD" is a common refrain in Ezekiel, emphasizing that God's actions, whether in judgment or blessing, are meant to lead people to acknowledge His supremacy. This acknowledgment is not just intellectual but relational, calling for a response of reverence and obedience. The fulfillment of this prophecy against Tyre serves as a testament to God's control over nations and history, reinforcing His identity as the one true God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/tyre.htm">Tyre</a></b><br>An ancient and prosperous Phoenician city located on the Mediterranean coast, known for its wealth and strong maritime trade.
