Ezekiel 26:1-21

26:1-21 | The old city of Tyre was located on an island just off the coast; Alexander the Great built a great causeway to the island which he used to overthrow the city and quite literally threw its ruins into the sea. A modern city of Tyre is built on the mainland.

26:14 | Ezekiel’s detailed description of the doom awaiting the important city of Tyre – accomplished by several conquerors, including Babylon – has its climax in this verse, which declares that Tyre eventually would be so totally devastated that even its ruins would be cast into the sea. Local fisherman actually spread their nets to dry in its former location to this day.
