TYRUS
Tyrus
(), the Greek form of the name of two places in Palestine.
1. The well-known city of TYRE SEE TYRE (q.v.), as the name is usually Anglicized, but Tyrus in the A. V. in certain passages (Jer 25:22; Jer 27:3; Jer 47:4; Eze 26:2-4; Eze 26:7; Eze 26:15; Eze 27:2-3; Eze 27:8; Eze 27:32; Eze 28:2; Eze 28:12; Eze 29:18; Hos 9:13; Amo 1:9-10; Zec 9:2-3; 2Es 1:11 Jdt 2:28; 1Ma 5:15; 2Ma 4:18; 2Ma 4:32; 2Ma 4:44; 2Ma 4:49). 2. A place described by Josephus as lying between Arabia and Judaea, beyond the Jordan, not far from the country of Heshbon, where Hyrcanus built a strong castle, of a sumptuous character, as the center of his power in that region (Anf. 12:4, 11). It has been identified in modern times with the magnificent ruins Airak el-Emir, four hours from Hesban, which Tristram minutely describes as corresponding to the statements of the Jewish historian (Land of Israel, p. 529).

TYRUS
Tyrus seems to symbolize some maritime and commercial country, in the latter days, bearing a resemblance to ancient Tyre, which is to experience dreadful calamities previous to the peaceful settlement of the Jews in their own land. Eze 27, 28 This is grounded on what is said in Eze 28:24-26; “And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord God. Thus saith the Lord God; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.” This was not fulfilled at the return from Babylon; for the Ten Tribes, or house of Israel, did not then return; it therefore awaits its accomplishment in the latter day, upon the destruction of those who are spoken of in the foregoing prophecies, under the names of Tyrus and Zidon.f1
F1 That these prophecies of Ezekiel respecting Tyrus and Zidon, may refer to some enemies of the Church of God in the latter days, was the opinion of Dr. Gill, Dr. Lowth, and many others. Dr. Lowth, in his comment on Eze 38:17, gives it as his opinion, that Gog, who is to make war upon God’s people in the latter days, may be prophesied of under the names of such nations as were the chief enemies to the Jews in the particular times of each prophet. As the Assyrian, Isa 14:24-25; Mic 5:5 : ” The same enemy,” he adds, “may probably be intended under the figure of Tyre.” And in his note on Eze 28:24, he farther observes; “The following verse shews, that this promise chiefly relates to the general restoration of the Jews, when all the enemies of God’s Church and truth are vanquished and subdued, often denoted in the prophetical writings, by the names of Edom, Moab, and other neighbouring countries, who, upon all occasions, shewed their spite and ill-will against the Jews.”
