ISAIAH 23 EXPLAINED?

 Wow interesting commentary I picked up off the web:

Nina Esplin  Here is an explanation to those scriptures     The Burden of Tyre. "Howel Ye Ships of Tarshish!" see Isaiah Chapter 23.   Tyre was the Merchant Banking Capital of the Ancient World - It was where all those ancient countries keep their Gold - a lot like Switzerland today a neutral country or Island I should say - not to be attacked. Well, that was until Alexandra the Great came along & destroyed haft the city & took the Gold. as described in the first 5 verses - then in verse 6 it says "Pass ye over to Tarshish; ..." Tyre here is to pass over to Tarshish,(?)

The student manual says that Spain is a "possible location" for Tarshish a "sister merchant to Tyre" However verse 1 tells us that the "ships of Tarshish are to howel for Tyre as it is laid waste - and verse 6 goes on to say howel ye inhabitants of the isle - here is dualism at play - Yes, a reference to the inhabitants of Tyre howling - but also a description of the inhabitants of Tarshish howling on their "ISLE", not on the peninsula of Spain?

Tarshish is a "Twin Merchant Trading Sister, "ISLE" of Tyre" it is a Twin Island to Tyre.

When Jonah ran from his mission to Ninevah he wanted to get as far away as possible from going there - even to the utmost bounds of the then-known world & that was to the ISLES of Tarshish. Jonah 1:3.

Tarshish is the Ancient name for the British Isles. These Islands were, ever, known as ancient trading islands & the schooling of the nobles. Jesus's uncle Joseph of Arimathea was such a merchant that had land & business holdings in the southwest of ancient Tarshish – dealing in Tin, lead & other minerals.

In Ezekiel Chapter 38 verse 13. we have one of the best references To Tarshish being the British Isles in the scriptures for we read:-

“..... and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil?.......”

The “Young Lions of Tarshish were/are the British Dominion nations & commonwealth.

So jumping to verse 14 Isaiah takes us into the future “ again he tells "Tarshish to howl".

"Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste."

What strength?

Well, Ancient Tyre transferred the Merchant banking & world trading over to modern Tyre/Tarshish - The Merchants Banks of London. Remember, London was once the Merchant Capital of the World, in 1800, 1900, half of the 20thC up to the 50s then the decline when the British Empire ended - that is, Great Britain as a leading world power was over & she would be disregarded or “forgotten as the scripture puts it:-

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king:...” Isa 23: 15.

When Isaiah uses the phrase ”In That Day” he talking after 1800 in “Our Day” in this dispensation. So modern-day Tarshish – Great Britain – Tyer, is to be forgotten for 70 years according to the days of one king?

Since 1800 there has only ever been one King or rather QUEEN, who has reign for nearly 70 years & that is Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. She is now in the 68th year of her rule, - as the monarch of the British throne (“The Throne of King David” by the way, see the Royal Coat of Arms).

So two more years & the reign is over either she dies of old age or she abdicates, either way, she will be gone according to this scripture, that is, if you believe they apply to Queen Elizabeth. Not only will we see the end of Queen Elizabeth's reign, but I also believe we will see the end to the House of Windsor. - well in fact we are seeing that happening right before our eyes today. Prince Harry has Left the Royal Family, in all reality. Prince Andrew has given up all public office & duties because of the Espiean connection & Prince Charles is not liked because of what happened to Lady Dianna.

The Queen has “played the Harlot” by not keeping her Coronation Oath - by fornicating, through her government, with other nations (Joining the European Union), to rule over the people & therefore committed treason against the people. See Deut 15: 6.

Then after her 70-year reign “Shall Tyre sing as a Harlot” that is the people will take the harp & rejoice in her memory going about the City - this, of course, is also connected to Great Britain leaving the European Union when we are totally free from all European ties. which is finalised in 2022. - Feeling free, we/ the UK, go off making new trade deals fornicating and playing the harlot once again, see verse 16.

However after 70 years are up the Law of return applies to Israel & everything goes back to its original owner, or Master. & verse 17 tells us that the LORD will visit modern-day Tyre - The British People. Modern-day Prophets & Apostles have on many occasions with talks & writings stated "That there is much of the Blood of Israel in the British Isles & People.

Verse 17 goes on to say, that still, after fornicating with the “kingdoms of the world” she comes to her senses, where in verse 18 it declares:-

And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

This to me, to a degree, ties into Doc & Cov 133:19-34 -. crossing the Great Deep & marching down to Zion bringing with them, their Records/Scriptures/ history & treasures - "A Remnant of (Jack- Jac-ob) Shall Return? Here is & comes, the Lion?.
