Not so much as a mistake, rather than a false prophecy; Ezekiel 26 goes into great detail regarding a prophecy from God. It describes how king Nebuchadnezzar II and his army would destroy the city of Tyre, and that it would be rendered “no more”.
It never happened. The king never even stepped foot in the city.
It still exists today and has actually grown in size, thanks to the land bridge Alexander the Great built when he took the city.

@OctoberEyes i strongly agree with you....i really like the way you described the whole thing there are so many prophecies that did not happened yet....I CANT EVEN FIND THE WORD "BIBLE" IN THE Holy Bible.

@OctoberEyes The description of Nebuchadnezzar's siege in chapter 26 was a prophecy made by the Prophet Ezekiel to the fate of Tyre. Christians and Jews claim that Nebuchadnezzar would only fulfill part of this prophecy, and that the rest would be fulfilled after Alexander's siege.

@OctoberEyes as the song goes "You can believe what you want to believe but you don't have to be a refugee"

@Disgustedman That’s a weird way of saying you can’t refute anything I said.
You could demonstrate I’m wrong so easily by showing me where in Ezekiel 26 it mentions Alexander the Great, or in fact any other agent other than Nebuchadnezzar.

@OctoberEyes and you would still not believe it even if I could prove it just deal with the fact I don't disagree that it wasn't complete but I don't agree with your saying that that was the end of it Alexander did destroy the city and it was destroyed. That's it if you got a problem with that take it up with God.

@Disgustedman Nope.
I’m intellectually honest. If you could show me where in Ezekiel 26 it states that Nebuchadnezzar wouldn’t actually do anything, and that it would be a few hundred years before a man named Alexander the Great fulfilled the prophecy, I’d change my mind.
But it doesn’t say that. It only mentions Nebuchadnezzar as the agent of these actions. Hence, a failed prophecy.
[quote]Alexander did destroy the city [/quote]
He captured the city, but it still functioned, which is demonstrated by the fact that within 18 years of this so called “destruction”, it had returned to its former glory and was again a leading city in Phoenicia.
And even if you were right, it would still contradict the prophecy. It’s made very clear in Ezekiel that Tyre would be forever destroyed.
[b]Ezekiel 26-14[/b] - the city “[i]will [c=BF0000]never be rebuilt[/c][/i]”
[b]Ezekiel 26-20[/b] - [i]”I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, and [c=BF0000]you will not return or take your place[/c]”[/i]
[b]Ezekiel 26-21[/b] - “[i]I will bring you to a horrible end and [c=BF0000]you will be no more[/c]. You will be sought, but [c=BF0000]you will never again be found[/c][/i]”
But we know this isn’t true. Tyre continued and grew as a city. Today, it is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world. This prophecy could not have failed more.

@Disgustedman “Babble”
You mean present a structured argument that demonstrates my claim?
What part [i]specifically[/i] do you not agree with? What claim have I made that you believe is incorrect?
