Sorry to jump in here. I confess to not knowing squat about biblical prophesy or apologetics. However, I do know something of military and Palestinian history (in both of which Tyre figures fairly prominently). Am I misreading this thread? Tyre is supposed to have been destroyed and abandoned at some point?
IIRC, Tyre was originally founded around the 13th century BCE, and the city has been under continuous occupation to the present day. It's been conquered and reconquered, destroyed and rebuilt literally dozens of times. It's mentioned quite importantly in the Alexandrian conquests (as someone said), but also the Seljuk conquest, the Fatimid wars, the Crusades (last controlled by Godfrey), the Mongol invasion, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman conquest, etc, and even modern Lebanese history. There is currently a city in Lebanon - still using the ancient harbor - by the same name. Is this the same city you're talking about? If not, where was the "biblical" Tyre in relation to the historical city?
Sorry for the digression - after all, there could be more than one city by that name. However, I find it difficult to believe there was more than one
important city/city-state in the same region by the same name. Inquiring minds want to know.
