I'm thinking you took that joke a little too seriously, but okay. I'm willing to acknowledge that when the prophecy said Tyre it meant the phonecian Tyre only, and I was before, but it said that Tyre would never be rebuilt, so...what does that mean if a city was built nearby named Tyre? Either way, I would like to introduce this one:
Ezekiel 28:24-26 24 “‘No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.
25 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I gather the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob. 26 They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.’”
So...Israel will not be bothered by its neighbors, and those who do will recieve divine judgement. It says that he will gather the people who have been scattered, so it is reasonable to assume this is referring to the current Israel. Thoughts?
