The imagery of a "bare rock" suggests complete desolation and destruction, stripping away all that made the city prosperous and powerful. Historically, Tyre was a city built partly on the mainland and partly on an island, making it a formidable fortress. The prophecy indicates that Tyre's defenses and wealth would be reduced to nothing, leaving it exposed and vulnerable. This aligns with the historical sieges by Nebuchadnezzar and later by Alexander the Great, who famously used the ruins of the mainland city to build a causeway to the island, effectively making it a "bare rock."and you will become a place to spread the fishing nets This phrase highlights the extent of Tyre's desolation. Once a bustling hub of commerce and trade, the city would be reduced to a mere fishing outpost. The imagery of fishermen spreading their nets on the rocks suggests a place devoid of its former glory and significance. This transformation from a powerful city to a simple fishing spot underscores the totality of God's judgment. The use of this imagery also connects to the broader biblical theme of God's sovereignty over nations and their destinies, as seen in other prophetic books like Isaiah and Jeremiah.You will never be rebuilt This prophecy emphasizes the permanence of Tyre's destruction. Historically, while the island city of Tyre was rebuilt after Alexander's conquest, it never regained its former prominence or power. The prophecy's fulfillment is seen in the fact that Tyre, as a major center of trade and influence, ceased to exist in its original form. This serves as a testament to the accuracy of biblical prophecy and God's control over history. The phrase also echoes other biblical prophecies of irreversible judgment, such as the destruction of Babylon in <a href="/isaiah/13.htm">Isaiah 13</a> and <a href="/revelation/18.htm">Revelation 18</a>.for I, the LORD, have spoken This phrase asserts the divine authority behind the prophecy. It is not merely a prediction but a declaration from God Himself, emphasizing the certainty and inevitability of the events foretold. The use of "I, the LORD" underscores God's role as the ultimate judge and ruler over all nations. This assurance of divine intervention is a common theme throughout the prophetic books, where God's word is portrayed as powerful and unchangeable, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/55-11.htm">Isaiah 55:11</a>, where God's word is said to accomplish what He desires.declares the Lord GOD. The repetition of God's title here reinforces the solemnity and seriousness of the prophecy. It serves as a reminder of God's covenant name, Yahweh, and His sovereign authority. This declaration is a common feature in prophetic literature, underscoring that the message is not from the prophet's own imagination but from God Himself. It also connects to the broader biblical narrative of God's dealings with nations, where His declarations are always fulfilled, as seen in the prophecies concerning other nations in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Daniel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> A prophet of God who ministered to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.
