主持人:我将讲述亚历山大大帝围攻泰尔的故事。泰尔这个名字可能对某些人来说很熟悉,因为圣经中有一两节预言提到了它。圣经预言泰尔会被毁灭,变成一块光秃秃的岩石,成为渔民晒网的地方。在讲述亚历山大大帝的故事之前,先简单介绍一下泰尔的位置。泰尔位于黎巴嫩,地中海沿岸,以色列北部。故事发生在公元前300年左右,当时最强大的帝国是阿契美尼德波斯帝国。泰尔城受波斯控制,但并非真正的波斯城市,而是腓尼基城市。迦太基也是一座腓尼基城市。波斯帝国非常庞大且富有,对被征服者来说还算不错。波斯人更倾向于做生意,而不是像亚述人那样残暴。波斯人通过征服来做生意,允许保留宗教习俗和传统。泰尔受波斯控制,但实际上是腓尼基城市,腓尼基人是航海民族。腓尼基人通过航海贸易变得非常富有。腓尼基人热衷于儿童献祭,这与上帝的意愿背道而驰。腓尼基人会活活烧死儿童作为祭品,这非常可怕。腓尼基人因不悔改而与上帝为敌,最终走向灭亡。

Chapters
This chapter sets the stage for the story of Alexander the Great's siege of Tyre by referencing a prophecy from Ezekiel 26:3, which foretells the destruction of Tyre. It then provides background information on the location of Tyre in Lebanon, its Phoenician origins, and its wealth, contrasting the relatively benevolent rule of the Persian Empire with the barbaric practices of the Phoenicians, particularly their widespread practice of child sacrifice.
  • Ezekiel 26:3 prophecy about Tyre's destruction
