During Isaiah’s time, Tyre was a thriving center of trade and shipping. The city’s natural defenses made it difficult to conquer. Twin islands stood not far off the coast, and natural deep-water harbors made it easily accessible to boats of all sizes from around the world.
`
It is not clear which destruction of Tyre Isaiah is pointing to in this chapter. However, it is either an attack by the Assyrians during Isaiah’s era or the decimation of the city by Alexander the Great in 332 BC that is being prophesied…both really. The prophecy in Ch 23 calls for the ships of Tarshish to wail and mourn because everything on Tyre has been destroyed. This includes everything from the harbor to the houses. The sailors get the news when they stop at the large island of Cyprus off the Phoenician coast on their way back to Tyre.
`
Regardless of which army has done the destruction, Isaiah is clear: It is the LORD of hosts. GOD has punished the pride and arrogance of Tyre and turned its honor to dishonor. Honor it never really had.The LORD GOD has stretched HIS hand over the sea, showing it belongs to HIM and not to the Canaanite sea god. HE has given the command to destroy all the strongholds of Canaan.
The city of Tyre will be forgotten, a shell of its former self, for 70 years. When it returns it will make its wages as a prostitute to the all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.This time, however, the LORD declares that her merchandise and wages will be used to supply abundance for the LORD’s people. The city’s wealth will not just be stored up in Tyre.
ISA 65:20, No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; For the child shall die one hundred years old, But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
