Theological / Devotional

Holiness. That is, “a consecrated thing.” The doom of Tyre and the ultimate triumph of Zion are foretold. In spite of her wiles Tyre would not continue forever, deceiving and defrauding men. She would fall, but Jerusalem would triumph. The harlot Babylon would suffer the same fate (Jer. 51:7, 8; Rev. 17:1, 5, 16 ; 18:2, 7-23).
