Understanding Failed Prophecy: Ezekiel 26 and Tyre

How should we understand failed prophecy in the Old Testament, like Ezekiel 26 and the city of Tyre? Dr. Josh was interviewed on MythVision, where he gave a presentation on the prophecy in Ezekiel 26.

And behold! Tyre shall go flat and the Rim shall be bent so that none shall go forth, forever.

There are more significant failed prophecies in the Bible: Rev 12-19. The first beast is the Roman Empire, the second beast 666/616, the fifth in an order of seven is emperor Nero. Then the predictions start to fail. Rev 12-19 is about earthquakes destroying Rome, the Roman Empire falling and being replaced by a worldwide Jewish kingdom.

YT comments sections are an echo chamber.
I really wish there was more discourse in the comments in general.
I’ve heard the Bible harmonized a lot of different ways by Bible scholars, the appeal to authority is useless in day to day Joe to Joe conversation.
People spend their lives studying the Bible. Some harmonize it, some don’t, some abandon the faith, some become very zealous.
I enjoy watching Josh because either way broadening your perspective is the best thing to do. I still do believe the Bible is God’s infallible word. And I love Jesus very much. I also love myth vision
I’ve watched so much of Derrick’s content.
Peace be with you all. Amen.

In my protestant denomination of Seventh-Day Adventism they claim that the prophecy statue in Daniel represents the legs of iron as Rome even though there are so many problems with that which I recall Dr. Joshua Bowen mentioned in his Daniel prophecy series. They are especially wrong with one claim they make in which the Roman Empire never fell. This is extremely important in their interpretation of the prophecy, but yet it is very problematic because the Roman Empire did fall in the year 1453 C.E. under the Ottoman Turks. The only reason they don't accept that is because the Eastern Roman Empire is commonly known as the Byzantine Empire, except that title was created in the 1500's, DECADES AFTER THE EMPIRE FELL! They instead believe that the Roman Empire was only divided and later transformed into the papacy, but that too is historically problematic.

Not challenging with this, just wondering; have mercenaries been taken into account? For example slingers from Crete as being part of the company of "many nations".

I always look at these writings as poetry or poems. The metaphoric text of speaking in allegory.

From the moment you mentioned a "classical" land siege against Tyre I was eagerly waiting Alexander and his causeway to be mentioned.

...but on the other hand he was not the Great king yet, had not picked Babylon as his capitol AND most importantly, the city kept existing, long after he took it.

So it must be a coincidence.

The 6 dislikes are from the troll Jesusis Lord and his accounts who said he debunked all of Dr Josh…

The prophecy hasn't been totally fulfilled yet. If you look at the context of Ezekiel, there are many chapters talking about the judgement of Jerusalem. The description is similar to that of the woman that rides the beast in Revelation. The ultimate fulfillment of these happens in the last days.
