If you consider that Tyre and Sidon are in Western Lebanon.
Chittim - Cypress (no entering in from Cypress?)
Tarshish -- Carthage - Great Britain?
Howl ships of Great Britain?for your strength is laid waste.
Isa 23:11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant [city], to destroy the strong holds thereof.
Isa 23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
I guess I see your point.

Yes and no. Israel has had, and will continue to have, great trouble. We must be very carefull about focusing so much on prophesy that we lose sight of the very truth it was meant to reveal. The end will come. No one knows the day or the hour, but when it does will we be ready? If this is THE hour or just your hour, are you?

Violence in the Middle East? That's a prophet really going out on a limb, there.
