Prophecy of the destruction of Tyre (Ezekiel 26)

A Bunch Of Reasons Christianity Is True: special guest Jonathan McLatchie 00:05:44 – 00:12:25

McLatchie presents Ezekiel 26 as a case study in fulfilled non-messianic predictive prophecy.

Ezekiel 26 predicts: (1) many nations against Tyre like waves, (2) Nebuchadnezzar specifically named to attack from the north, (3) a shift to plural pronouns suggesting later fulfillment by other nations, (4) the city's rubble cast into the sea, (5) the site becoming a bare rock for spreading of fishing nets. Nebuchadnezzar besieged Tyre for 13 years but could not conquer the island city because he lacked a navy. Alexander the Great (~332 BC) used the debris of the mainland city to build a causeway to the island — literally throwing Tyre's stones into the sea. Secular sources confirm these events, not just Christian ones.
