And I will make you a shining, bare surface of a crag. A drying yard for dragnets is what you will become.”​—Ezekiel 26:3-14.

6. In fulfillment of prophecy, what happened to ancient Tyre?

⁶ Such a downfall seemed impossible. According to the Jewish historian Josephus, the Babylonian siege of Tyre lasted 13 years. (Josephus, Against Apion, Book I, Chapter 21) History does not record how effective Nebuchadnezzar’s efforts were, although the loss of Tyrian property and lives must have been great.

Moreover, in the present seaport village, fishermen can be seen drying their nets​—another fulfillment of prophecy. Certainly, Jehovah’s Word is sure!
