The two last quotations from EZEKIEL belong to the _first_ Tyrian Siege. [485--472 B. C.] ISAIAH prophesied that after _that_ destruction, the remaining People should be forgotten as a Nation for 70 years,--they were so; that they should then recover their strength, and have commerce with every Country, and even Jerusalem should be benefited by their merchandise. This latter part is proved by the Judæan Prophet, NEHEMIAH [xxiii.], to have been fulfilled, while the former portion is firmly established by authenticated history. If the patriotic King, Azelmic, had been ordained to die at the _last_ Siege of Tyrus, it is almost certain that the manner of the Prophets would have been adhered to by ISAIAH, as it was subsequently by EZEKIEL, who mentions that both "King" and "Prince" at the first Siege should be destroyed, and they were so:--therefore, the silence of ISAIAH upon the subject of Azelmic's death, may certainly be viewed as prophetical of its _not_ taking place at, or during, the final Siege;--but, rather that he should survive his country's fall,--a doom, to a pure patriot, more terrible than death. Truly to feel that curse, the reader must peruse--if the tearful eye will permit him--the Lamentations of JEREMIAH upon the Destruction of Jerusalem. The same curse was endured by Azelmic. The most sceptical upon the truths of Sacred Prophecy, will be enforced to cast their doubts aside upon contemplating the fulfilment of those by ISAIAH, and especially in regard to Tyrus,--for History has recorded the fact that the King, Azelmic, was the only being not slain, or sold to slavery (with the exception stated), and even that "remnant" will be found to be contemplated by ISAIAH, upon a full investigation of the great prediction. Every Christian reader, therefore, will not doubt that any portion of the entire Prophecy respecting Tyrus was fulfilled. The first two parts of this newly-applied prediction have been given,--viz., that the Metropolis should, at the _second_ Siege "_be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled_," but that _the King should not perish_. In the next chapter, the Prophecy will be followed out to its full accomplishment, and the Refugees in the Sidonian Galleys traced to their final resting-place.
