Actually it was quite specific who would destroy Tyre. It was to be Nebby. And there is a reason that you cannot extend it to Alexander the Great. If you look at the history of Tyre it was attacked and beaten quite often. Even before the prophecy. They were a small town with a source of riches that other towns could not match. That was the main reason that they developed the defenses that they had. It is not a prophesy of any sort to claim that a city in the middle East would be conquered some day. I have illustrated this with my "you will see a red car" prophesy. If I made such a prophecy and you saw a red car you would not be amazed. Red is one of the most popular car colors so of course you are going to see a red car.
You are trying to lower this prophecy to a "you will see a red car" type of prophecy.
This is a lame excuse and if looked at in the original Hebrew would not help your cause.

Non believers stay nonbelievers because despite the evidence, they will deny God anyway. Non-believers and skeptics try to find as many errors in the Bible as possible to tear it down. Why? Because they know there is power in this Book and authority.
That's not really a prophecy. That's a statement which of course is true.
Prophecies have been fulfilled except the future once such as the Second Coming of Jesus and the Tribulation and so forth.
I don't think it's not believable.
We discussed many months ago that the "talking serpent" was Satan himself.
The Bible is very accurate.
Prophecies are very accurate.
That's why you all attack it nonstop even if the evidence is overwhelming through history.
Some people try to convince me that statements like "there shall be doubters" are prophecies. I am glad you don't consider them such. Also, how does the talking serpent being anything, satan or something else, beyond a serpent make it more believable?

And no, we can show that a flood did not happen.
Do you think that 5 miles of water appearing and disappearing on the face of the Earth would leave evidence? I believe that it would. There is no such evidence.
In fact since you are claiming that the flood is true it is up to you to justify the lack of physical evidence for a flood.
The ability to persuade and twist words and have the power of suggestion and changing people's mind and will.
A snake can't do that, can it?
Would you agree with me that there is SOME evidence, even if it isn't solid, that there was a Flood? Or are you totally sure there is NO evidence whatsoever for the Flood?
(But we should probably take this topic elsewhere...)

Snakes lack the anatomy to speak. No vocal chords.
I find that the prophecies rely on vagueness and aren't used to predict events before they happen. Instead they are interpreted after an event to provide justification that Christians "knew that would happen!" It's like how people claim Nostradamus predicted 9/11 or any other event.
Take this derail about Chernobyl in the Bible for example. A poster claims that the Bible predicted the nuclear incident in Chernobyl.
I respond by wondering why nobody that read the Bible tried to evacuate Chernobyl or alert the world about what would happen. What use is a prediction that doesn't predict something before it happens?
A serpent, not a snake, the serpent could have been a dragon, a lizard, perhaps a snake, although its punishment to crawl on its belly suggests that it had legs prior to tempting Eve.
There is evidence which, if taken and interpreted very selectively, could indicate a Flood.
However, there is also evidence which must be ignored or dismissed because it should not be there if the Flood had occurred.
Yes!!! Exactly! So there is no definite 'it never happened'. There IS evidence but on top of this we have confusing evidence showing that the Flood does not make sense.
Short of pretending that we live in a Matrix-type world, there is definite evidence. We have hundreds of thousands of uninterrupted annual ice layers, as one example.
