Nebuchadnezzar did defeat Tyre, and lay it to tribute, so it was part of his kingdom. The Bible explicitly said, that he took the mainland city, and breached the outer walls, and didn’t take the inner city, or inner walls.
Cambyses II took Egypt captive.
Alexander the Great conquered Tyre, destroyed the entire city, and in the Bible you quoted, it said the city sunk underneath the sea. He also destroyed the “Mainland” and scraped it to its foundations, which was part of Tyre, to be used as the land bridge, proving another prophecy fulfilled, which is talked about directly in the Bible.
Alexander then replenished his forces in Egypt, and took it for nothing. As prophesied in Ezekiel 29.
Titus sacked Jerusalem, and that fulfilled the 40 year captivity of Egypt. And there really wasn’t anyone in Jerusalem for a long time, after that happened. The city was totally destroyed and without inhabitant.
Jerusalem is also called “Sodom and Egypt.”
The Nile drying shows the prophecy has later fulfillment dates, as the Nile never dried, but rather, it’s drying right now. Showing there’s a later fulfillment.
Prophecies are a recurring symbol, of patterns of human behavior, and reflect the conflict between evil and good. Lucifer is the King of Babylon, and is God’s judgment upon a wicked nation. Showing the entire prophecies of Ezekiel and Isaiah and Jeremiah, reach out further than just those local fulfillments.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
