Tyre a Witness for God.

Tyre was the great commercial city of ancient times, the London, the Liverpool, the New York of the Orient. The extent of her commerce is set forth in the 27th chapter of Ezekiel. Yet the Lord says of that great city, "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. She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah." And the place where old Tyre stood is now a place for the spreading of nets, and the very stones of her buildings removed elsewhere.
