He took the city and sacked it, but did not leave a complete ruin. I'm on my cell now so I can't search but there was a lengthy thread on this topic a while ago.(May 20, 2014 at 3:10 pm)Lemonvariable72 Wrote: Well you haven't even demonstrated that facts on that prophecy, which clearly states that nechudnezzar who was seiging Tyre at the time would take the city, demolish it and depopulate it.

And the reason it changes from singular to plural is because the Babylonians had allies.
What does this say in the paragraph immediately preceding your paragraph.? Nebuchadnezzar's nation was one of various nations who attacked Tyre, which eventually led to it's final destruction by Alexander the Great. That's why the pronouns changed from singular to plural. It never states that Nebuchadnezzar would destroy Tyre at that time in history.
In Ezekiel 26:3-6 it says "3 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea casting up its waves. 4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock.

I believe nothing that comes out of the mouth of their spokesmen.
This co called "Church" has persecuted / tortured/ murdered all who have refused to bow to it as long as it could get away with it.
Funny they say the same about Protestants.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
