Anyway, thanks for the response.
How can anyone actually believe this nonsense...That is what I can't understand.

The connection to reality has long ago been severed

I assume that you don't believe that a creator can restore his creation. Why don't you think it is possible for a creator to restore his creation?

Mods...I do apologise for being off topic but just this indulgence please.

The point of the prophecy is that Tyre would never be rebuilt. It would cease to exist and would become a bare place for the spreading of nets.

Tyre never ceased to exist. The Gospel - writers mentioned it as place to go to, it was known to historians and early churchmen as a rich place significant in trade and worth attacking by the arabs in the days of the muslim expansion. It never fulfilled the prophecy of total destruction.

Neither did Babylon. It was quite intact when the Persians took it over and Alexander feasted in the palace there while sacrifices to Marduk were still being made on the Bab -il ziggurat. That continued until Parthian times.

Babylon never fulfilled Biblical prophecy of total destruction either.

There is no creator...Simple as that.

I reckon that a creation having a creator is a fairly simple reality.

I suppose Evolutionary molecular physicist theologists would probably disagree though. That's cool.

According to the Bible, both Jesus and Paul stayed in Tyre. So much for the bare rock.

What usually happens when they are wrong is they will come up with amazing excuses as to why it didn't happen.

The Prophet did so in the early 1800s and helped his brother Tecumseh stir up an anti-American Pan-Indian movement to aid the British in the War of 1812. Although he was really vague saying he'd stomp his feet or some such, and he predicted an eclipse too but the British told him when there'd be an eclipse so it's somewhat unimpressive.
