@comfyposts @MartinSr2407 @pastorlocke Nebuchadnezzar was also God’s chosen. And Cyrus, king of Persia, was His anointed. God’s choosing someone doesn’t mean they are magically saved.

Introduction to Ezekiel 26 — the destruction of Tyre prophecy. Ra claims every part of it failed.

Winger sets up the main prophecy for the session, noting Ra will claim total failure before Winger walks through the text.

Ezekiel 26 text walkthrough: the prophecy uses two distinct sets of pronouns — 'he' (Nebuchadnezzar) and 'they' (multiple later nations) — specifying different actors for different actions.

This pronoun distinction is the key to properly understanding the prophecy and refuting Ra's objection.

Historical fulfillment by Nebuchadnezzar: 13-year siege of Tyre (mainland). The people relocated to the island during the siege, so Nebuchadnezzar entered an empty city.

Winger narrates the secular historical record of Nebuchadnezzar's siege to show what the 'he' pronoun delivered.

Mike Winger idea 2018-09-05

Historical fulfillment by Alexander the Great (332 BC): he literally threw the rubble of the mainland city into the sea to build a causeway to the island, fulfilling the 'they' section of the prophecy.

This is the long-term fulfillment — over 200 years after Ezekiel wrote — that even critical scholars concede predates Alexander.

Summary assessment of the Tyre prophecy: Ra misrepresented the text on multiple points; the prophecy succeeds on every claim actually made in Ezekiel 26.

Winger closes his Tyre analysis and transitions to addressing Ra's rhetorical style.

Prophecy of the destruction of Tyre (Ezekiel 26)

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

Objection and response: the pronoun shift in Ezekiel 26 and Zechariah 9

Addressing the objection that the plural pronoun in Ezekiel 26 still refers only to Nebuchadnezzar.

The 'evil spirit from the Lord' that afflicted Saul may simply mean a harmful/distressing spirit (Hebrew ra = bad/harmful, not necessarily morally evil), and God allowing adversarial spirits as discipline for rebellion is not itself immoral.

Continued discussion of the evil spirit from God in 1 Samuel.

Daniel 4: a tree visible to "the end of the whole earth" — but this is Nebuchadnezzar's dream ("visions of my head as I lay in bed"). Dreams don't provide cosmological data. The phrase "ends of the earth" just means visible far away.
