Places
Tyre in Isaiah 23
TIRE
This place shows up in Isaiah 23:1: “The burden of Tyre. Howl, you ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. From the land of Kittim…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Isaiah 23:1
“The burden of Tyre. Howl, you ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.”
What kids can learn
When you hear tyre in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Isaiah 23:1 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
