Paradox #1
The theological challenge with "Ezekiel 26:10" could revolve around the prophecy's fulfillment. Ezekiel prophesied the complete destruction of Tyre by Nebuchadnezzar, but historically, Tyre was not fully destroyed by him and continued to exist. This raises questions about the accuracy of biblical prophecy and how it should be interpreted.
Paradox #2
Ezekiel 26:10 predicts the complete and permanent destruction of the city of Tyre by Babylon's King Nebuchadnezzar. However, historically, Tyre was not entirely destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and continued to exist as a significant city for many years afterward. Instead, it was later conquered by Alexander the Great. This difference between the prophecy and historical events is sometimes seen as a contradiction.
Paradox #3
Ezekiel 26:10 describes a scene of destruction and invasion. A contradiction or conflict here could be the tension between a message of divine justice and the suffering caused to innocent people during such events. It raises questions about the morality of using violence as a means of fulfilling divine plans, especially when those affected may not have been directly responsible for the actions prompting such judgment.
