During his campaign, Alexander also fulfilled other Bible prophecies. For example, the prophets Ezekiel and Zechariah, who lived in the seventh and sixth centuries B.C.E., foretold the destruction of the city of Tyre. (Ezekiel 26:3-5, 12; 27:32-36; Zechariah 9;3, 4) Ezekiel even wrote that her stones and dust would be replaced "in the very midst of the water." Were those words fulfilled?
Consider what Alexander's troops did during their siege of Tyre
in 332 B.C.E. They scraped up the ruins of the earlier mainland city of Tyre and cast the debris into the sea to build a causeway to the island of Tyre. The strategy succeeded and Tyre fell. "The prophecies against Tyre have been accomplished, even to the minutest details," said a 19th century explorer of the site.
