The four predictions (3d, 4th, 5th, 6th) having reference to the Alexandrian Siege of Tyrus, distinctly foretels as follows: viz.--The storming of the capital--the massacre,--the safety of the King,--and of the King only within the walls. While these points were in action,--a remnant,--a nation's gleaning,--should be safely gathered,--that they should be rescued by the means of navigation,-- that they should lift their voices in thanksgiving "from the sea,"--which as a mother, upon her bosom was to cherish them in safety! Now all these Prophecies, and their several parts, are proved by authenticated history to have been accomplished;--no sceptic, therefore, in regard to the startling character (perhaps boldness) of this History, can deny to the Author the right to claim and employ a _seventh_ and a last Prophecy by ISAIAH, to support conclusions of Tyrian identity in the Western Hemisphere. This last prediction refers even to the character of the Voyage to be finally taken by the fugitive "remnant,"--the great distance of their flight,--and that when they had reached their destination they should sojourn there. This conclusive Prophecy will be brought forward in its proper place. The Sidonians and rescued Tyrians now claim attention. At the moment when the Capital was being desolated by flame and falchion, and when the walls and gates were "smitten with destruction," the Sidonian Galleys received on board the fugitive Families; and from the direct National act of friendship, it must appear apparent that those saved, Men, Women, and Children, were Tyrians only;--yet in the confusion, a few Greeks and Egyptians may have found shelter. This is possible in reference to individuals (but not to families); for Tyrus being in commercial intercourse with the Nile and the Archipelago, may have contained some few inhabitants of Egypt or Greece at the sacking of the City. Amid the noise attendant upon the entrance of the Macedonian Soldiery, and the screams of the affrighted populace, the Sidonian vessels, with their fearful freights escaped unobserved by the invaders; or, if they had been seen by the enemy, they would not have been pursued; for they were Sidonians,--not Tyrians,--that is in outward appearance, as manifested by the colours, or ensigns of their Galleys; and to avoid suspicion, their ships must have been few,--five or six,--sufficient, however, for the conveyance of "a Colony from the East."[15]
