Isaiah 23, Many have been mistaught the role of Satan! Its defined in this video. 7.19.24 Study

Isaiah 23
This is the last burden or judgment of nations in this section of Isaiah. It started in chapter 13 with Babylon and continued to cover Palestine, Moab, Damascus, Ethiopia, Egypt, Persia, Edom, Arabia, Jerusalem, and now we have Tyre. The judgment of the city of Tyre is remarkably described in detail in Ezekiel 26. Tyre was the greatest commercial center in the world in that day. Tyre was the capital city of Phoenicia and was an extremely rich city. It was the place of world trade where people from the world over would meet and trade their goods. It was the wall street of that day. Since this city was so steeped in trade, they were seafarers more so than any other people in that day. There is even an abundance of evidence that they were already on the North American continent back in that day. The Phoenicians were a very advanced people and even invented the alphabet.

Isa 23:1 The oracle concerning Tyre. Wail, O ships of Tarshish, For Tyre is destroyed, without house or harbor; It is reported to them from the land of Cyprus.

Tarshish was another commercial center that the Phoenicians founded. It is on the southern tip of Spain. This is the place Jonah tried to buy a ticket to when he was running from Elohim. The picture here is the ships of Tarshish coming home to Tyre. But as they get nearer to their destination, they get word that Tyre is destroyed. As they come near the city, they see smoke. Then they see the city is leveled and the harbor is blocked.

Isa 23:2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon; Your messengers crossed the sea

Sidon is another port city of Phoenicia. It was about 30 miles north of Tyre. It was the sister city of Tyre, but it was not destroyed. God didn't prophesy their destruction either.

Isa 23:3 And were on many waters. The grain of the Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue; And she was the market of nations.

Shihor means "black" and refers to the Upper Nile. It is the rich topsoil that flooded Egypt and made it fertile. The wealth of Egypt all passed through Tyre. That would now come to an end. The treasures of Tyre will eventually be for the Father's use. This is likely in reference to the time of the return of Messiah.

(Ps. 45:12).

There are other places in Scripture which speak of the destruction of Tyre. The destruction of the king of Tyre in Ezekiel 28 is commonly mistaught as the origin of Satan just as Isaiah 14 is mistaught. A careful examination of the chapter shows that it is just what it says it is. A prophecy of the judgment of the king of Tyre.
