Historically, Tyre was a powerful and wealthy Phoenician city known for its trade and fortifications. The prophecy indicates a complete reversal of its fortunes, turning it from a place of admiration to one of dread. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of divine retribution against pride and idolatry, as seen in other judgments against cities like Babylon (Isaiah 13) and Nineveh (Nahum 3).<p><b>and you will be no more</b><br>The phrase signifies the total destruction and obliteration of Tyre. Historically, this prophecy was fulfilled through a series of sieges, most notably by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and later by Alexander the Great. The city, once a thriving hub of commerce, was reduced to ruins, fulfilling the prophecy of its disappearance. This serves as a reminder of the transient nature of human achievements in contrast to the eternal sovereignty of God.<p><b>You will be sought, but will never be found</b><br>This indicates the complete and irreversible nature of Tyre's destruction. The city would be so thoroughly devastated that it would cease to exist as a recognizable entity. This can be connected to the theme of divine judgment where God’s decrees are final and absolute. The imagery of seeking and not finding echoes other biblical passages where God’s judgment leads to desolation, such as in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19).<p><b>declares the Lord GOD</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the authority and certainty of the prophecy. The use of "Lord GOD" underscores the divine origin of the message, affirming that it is not merely a human prediction but a declaration from the sovereign Creator. This assurance of divine authority is a common feature in prophetic literature, reinforcing the trustworthiness of God's word as seen throughout the Bible, such as in the declarations of judgment and restoration in Isaiah and Jeremiah.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God who ministered to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.
