Ezekiel 26:5-6

Fishermen would someday use the site as a place to spread their nets to dry. The picture Ezekiel presented was that of the debris of the mainland city being pushed out into the sea where it would become a flat surface. Tyre would become spoil for the nations. Formerly she had spoiled the nations by taking their money in exchange for the commodities that she had traded. Furthermore, Tyre’s daughters (her dependent villages on the mainland) would also fall in battle. The fulfillment of this prophecy would convince many of the Tyrians that Yahweh was the true God.

"Babylon is a byword for godless government, and Tyre is a byword for pride and self-sufficiency . . ." [Note: Cooper, p. 253.]

The Lord Jesus ministered in Tyre (Matthew 15:21; Mark 7:24-31; Luke 6:17), and the residents responded positively to Him (cf. Matthew 11:21-22; Luke 10:13-14).
