2. Tyre is judged and so is Satan. We will not have the time today to address this passage, but I suggest you read it.
3. The accuracy the Biblical prophecy in this section

1. That the ungodly would receive judgment is something most people can understand
2. That the godly would receive judgment is something we don't think about

1. Tyre had made comments that showed no compassion for Jerusalem but rather the opposite.
2. 26:2 "Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, 'Aha! The gate to the nations is broken, and its doors have swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will prosper,'"
3. 1 Cor. 13: 6 "Love does not delight in evil..."

1. Isaiah 42: 8 "I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols."
2. Any thing less than that would not be of His nature

1. His existence is never questioned in the Bible and no arguments are made for His existence. The commentary on this is an observation, Psalm 41:1 "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
2. The only one who knows the end and beginning

1. Many nations to participate Vs. 3

3. His ambition: capture the Persian
4. Before that he headed south to conquer Tyre, fearing that while his troops were in the East engaged in war, that the Phoenician navy may endeavor to invade Greece.
5. He came to Tyre and demanded that the city surrender which demand they refused.

8. The city was destroyed by Alexander as a warning to other cities that might seek to defy his demands of surrender.
9. After hearing of Tyre's fall, many cities opened their gates in fear to avoid being destroyed.

a. find an error in the Word
b. the old site would make an excellent site for a city, for the ancient springs of Resilen are still flowing there into the sea, an estimated 10,000,000 gallons of water a day. It was this abundance of fresh water that allowed the city of Tyre to hold out against Nebuchadnezzar for 13 years.
