3. Written: Between 587-586 BC
a) In Ezekiel 26:21, the prophet said that the Phoenician city of
Tyre would be brought to an end and would never again be found. When
Alexander the Great destroyed the city in 332 BC, he brought an end to
the Phoenician Empire. The Empire was never revived or "found" again. As
for the city itself, it has been torn down and built upon by a
succession of foreign powers. Today, finding artifacts from the original
Phoenician Tyre is difficult. According to the Columbia Encyclopedia,
Fifth Edition: "The principal ruins of the city today are those of
buildings erected by the Crusaders. There are some Greco-Roman remains,
but any left by the Phoenicians lie underneath the present town."
