Ezekiel prophesies the permanent destruction of Tyre.(Ezekiel 26:3-14)

Tyre was an island fortress-city with mainland villages along the shore.  These mainland settlements were destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, but after a 13 year siege from 585-573 BC, the king of Tyre made peace with Nebuchadnezzar, going into exile and leaving the island city itself intact..  Alexander the Great used debris from the mainland to build a causeway to the island, entered the city, and plundered the city, sacking it without mercy.  Most of the residents were either killed in the battle or sold into slavery.  It was quickly repopulated by colonists and escaped citizens, and later regained its independence.  Tyre did eventually enter a period of decline, being reduced to a small remnant: echoing Ezekiel's words in a book published in 1891, historian Philip Myers wrote "The larger part of the site of the once great city is now as bare as the top of a rock—a place where the fishermen that still frequent the spot spread their nets to dry"., and older sources often refer to it as a "fishing village". However, it recovered and grew rapidly in the 20th century.  The ruins of a part of ancient Tyre (a protected site) can still be seen on the southern half of the island. whereas modern Tyre occupies the northern half and also sprawls across Alexander's causeway and onto the mainland: it is now the 4th largest city in Lebanon with a population in excess of 100,000 people (see Tyre (Lebanon)).

Ezekiel then prophesies the conquest of Egypt, the scattering of its entire population (it was to be uninhabited for 40 years), and Nebuchadnezzar plundering Egypt (Ezekiel 29:3 - Ezekiel 30:26).

This includes the claim that God will make Egypt so weak that it will never again rule over other nations.  Pharaoh Amasis II (who drove off Nebuchadnezzar) also conquered Cyprus, ruling it until 545 BC.  Despite being a powerful nation in ancient times, Egypt has since been ruled by the Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzantine Empire, Ottomans, British and the French, and has also enjoyed periods of independence from external rule.  During the Hellenistic period, the break-up of the empire of Alexander the Great left the Ptolemaic Dynasty (of Macedonian/Greek origin) as rulers of Egypt: the Ptolemies then conquered and ruled Cyrenaica (now northeastern Libya), Palestine, and Cyprus at various times. (see also History of Ptolemaic Egypt and Ptolemaic kingdom).

There is some uncertainty among modern scholars regarding when (and by whom) various portions of the Book of Ezekiel were written, making the timing of prophecies difficult to unravel (see Book of Ezekiel).

Nebuchadnezzar invaded Egypt around 568 BC.  However, the armies of Pharaoh Amasis II defeated the Babylonians (though the author did not elaborate and there are no known detailed accounts of this invasion). Herodotus reports that this Pharaoh had a long and prosperous reign. The Egyptians were conquered by the Persians in 525 BC.
