In biblical times, fire often symbolized God's wrath and purification. Tyre was a prominent Phoenician city known for its strong fortifications and wealth. The "walls of Tyre" represent its defenses and pride. Historically, Tyre was a significant maritime power, and its walls were considered impenetrable. This prophecy highlights God's sovereignty over even the most fortified cities. The judgment against Tyre is also mentioned in <a href="/ezekiel/26.htm">Ezekiel 26</a>, where the destruction of Tyre is prophesied due to its pride and exploitation of Israel.<p><b>to consume its citadels.</b><br>Citadels refer to the fortified areas within a city, often serving as the last line of defense. The destruction of Tyre's citadels signifies total devastation and the collapse of its power. This imagery underscores the completeness of God's judgment. Historically, Tyre was besieged by several empires, including the Babylonians and later by Alexander the Great, who famously built a causeway to reach the island city. The prophecy's fulfillment is seen in these historical events, demonstrating the accuracy of biblical prophecy. The destruction of Tyre serves as a warning against pride and reliance on human strength rather than on God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/amos.htm">Amos</a></b><br>A prophet from the southern kingdom of Judah, called by God to deliver messages of judgment to Israel and surrounding nations.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/tyre.htm">Tyre</a></b><br>An ancient Phoenician city known for its wealth and strong fortifications, located on the Mediterranean coast.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/f/fire.htm">Fire</a></b><br>Symbolic of God's judgment and purification, often used in the Old Testament to denote divine retribution.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/w/walls_of_tyre.htm">Walls of Tyre</a></b><br>Representing the city's defenses and pride, which God declares will be destroyed.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/citadels.htm">Citadels</a></b><br>Fortified areas within a city, symbolizing strength and security, which God promises to consume.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_in_judgment.htm">God's Sovereignty in Judgment</a></b><br>God is sovereign over all nations, and His judgments are just and righteous.
