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?
This is not the first time you have brought this up, and in part you're right the Israel of today is the one being spoken of, you now need to go to the book of Revelation, you can find the answer there. You will find the answer about Israel when you learn about Christ's second coming, it is in their desperation and His second coming they realize who He is and find that peace.
While you are reading pay close attention to wormwood and it's description, then look up the Russian equivalent. But don't jump the gun read the book first.

Well, we know that the city of Tyre was wrecked. There is plenty of evidence this happened, and the Bible is only one piece of it. We have only the Bible to say that God was responsible for it. What almost certainly happened is that some slave of Yahweh decided, long after Tyre fell, to retcon history and insert his evil skydaddy into the narrative to terrorize his fellow slaves of Yahweh.
Now you've made the assertion, prove what you have stated. The bold part is what I'm referring to.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
