Isaiah 23-27

Isaiah takes up a lament against the city of Tyre, which was a very wealthy Phoenician coastal city north of Israel. The city was divided between an island about 1/2 mile off the coast, and also on the coast. Ezekiel 26 gives an even more detailed prophecy about the destruction of Tyre. Nebuchadnezzar destroyed much of the coastal portion of Tyre around 580 BC, but most of the inhabitants moved to the island, which was considered impregnable. Alexander the Great fulfilled the prophetic details in Ezekiel 26:12, using the stones of the old coastal city to build a causeway out to the island, and eventually destroy it completely.

In chapters 24-27 Isaiah prophesies about the world in great tribulation, and of the Lord coming to judge satan (Leviathan, that great serpent) and all of his followers who hate God. Death will be abolished, and all nations will come to worship the Lord in Jerusalem.
