This was the case with Tyre. Stripped of its impressive defences and denuded of its citizens, proud Tyre, no longer even an island was for a time, only fit for fishermen to dry their nets on the bare rock. The city would eventually be rebuilt, although never again would it enjoy its former political importance.
However, under the Romans the city would become an important commercial centre. The worship of Melkart did not disappear quickly. His image , continued to be presented on Tyrian coinage. It is a strange fact that during the lifetime of Jesus, the Tyrian Shekel also called a Tetradrachma , was the only acceptable coin that could be used to pay the temple tax in Jerusalem.
The money changers that Jesus drove out of the temple were changing Roman currency into Tyrian shekels. The 30 pieces of silver that the arch-traitor Judas was bought with Matthew 14,15 were almost certainly Tyrian shekels and bore the face of the Baal of Tyre.
With Tyre destroyed, Carthage became the most important Phoenician city and would for a time under her famous general Hannibal, even rival Rome for dominance of the Mediterranean. During the ministry of Jesus, crowds of people from Tyre and Sidon would travel to hear Jesus speak. On one occasion, Jesus personally visited the region around Tyre, on which occasion he cured the demon-possessed child of a Phoenician woman who was suffering greatly. In , Muslim forces drove out the Crusaders and for the next many centuries, what remained of Tyre lay in ruins, inhabited by almost no one.
In , an English academic and clergyman named Henry Maundrell passed through Tyre on his way to Jerusalem. By the end of the 19th century, a population was again beginning to form in what had once been Tyre. These were no longer Phoenician people, whose culture, religion and language has been lost to history.
Rather the new city is peopled by descendants of the Arabs who first settled in the land after the death of Muhammad. Sadly, war continues to visit the region.
During the third phase of the war the city was heavily shelled by Israeli artillery in Aerial photo of Tyre circa Today, visitors who look for ruins from Phoenician Tyre will be disappointed for nothing at all remains from that time period. In recent decades the area has been heavily built over. The area of the causeway now contains hundreds of apartment blocks and Lebanese Tyre has a population roughly estimated in to be , although the real number is probably much higher.

Thank you! Thanks for your kind words Brian. I was able to use a little of the research in our Cong Bible study tonight too! This is the first prophesy fulfilment article I read regarding Tyre, thank you very much for elaborate details. Stone in Botswana, Africa. Amazing article! This is an incredible article.
I found it searching after reading Ezekiel in the Bible to check out the prophecy. First, thank you for the thorough article, just what I was seeking! Second, even as a Lebanese man myself, I find it a little odd that the only sad wars that you mentioned as having effected Tyre in modern times are the ones Israelis waged , Tyre suffered much more during the Syrian war and the Lebanese civil war.
Please balance that aspect out if possible. Thank you. Thank you George, I will take your suggestion. Thanks for reading my website. And proud of it.

From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them. Isaiah When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre. Isaiah Who has planned this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth? Isaiah It will come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre like in the song of the prostitute.
Isaiah It will happen after the end of seventy years that Yahweh will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her wages, and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface of the earth. Jeremiah and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea; Jeremiah and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah; Jeremiah because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains: for Yahweh will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
Ezekiel Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken: the gate of the peoples; she is turned to me; I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste: Ezekiel therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up. Ezekiel They shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.
Ezekiel For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and much people. Ezekiel Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Tyre: shall not the islands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of you?
Ezekiel You, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre; Ezekiel and tell Tyre, you who dwell at the entry of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to many islands, thus says the Lord Yahweh: You, Tyre, have said, I am perfect in beauty. Ezekiel The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers: your wise men, Tyre, were in you, they were your pilots. Ezekiel In their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for you, and lament over you, saying, Who is there like Tyre, like her who is brought to silence in the midst of the sea?
Ezekiel Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet you are man, and not God, though you did set your heart as the heart of God- Ezekiel Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Ezekiel Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.
Joel "Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head. Amos Thus says Yahweh: "For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they delivered up the whole community to Edom, and didn't remember the brotherly covenant; Amos but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its palaces.
Zechariah Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets. Matthew "Woe to you, Chorazin!
Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Matthew But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. Matthew Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.
Mark From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn't want anyone to know it, but he couldn't escape notice.
