Zacarías 9:3

Listen to Zacarías 9:3
3 ¡Tiro ha construido una poderosa fortaleza
y ha logrado que la plata y el oro
sean tan abundantes como el polvo en las calles!

Zacarías 9:3 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 9:3

And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold
Tyre was built upon a rock, and was a strong fortress itself, from whence it had its name; and, besides its natural defence, it had a wall one hundred and fifty feet high, and its breadth was answerable to its height F5; but yet, as it could not defend itself against Alexander the great, who took it; so neither against the Gospel of Christ, which found its way into it, and was mighty to pull down strong holds in a spiritual sense: and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the
streets;
the riches of these cities, especially Tyre, are often made mention of; they were famous for their wealth, being places of great trade and merchandise; see ( Isaiah 23:2 Isaiah 23:8 ) ( Ezekiel 27:3 ) ( Ezekiel 28:4 Ezekiel 28:5 ) all which were to be holiness to the Lord, and for the sufficient feeding and durable clothing of them that dwell before him, ( Isaiah 23:18 ) his ministers.

Zacarías 9:3 In-Context

1 Juicio contra los enemigos de Israel
Este es el mensaje
del Señor
contra la tierra de Aram
y contra la ciudad de Damasco, pues los ojos de la humanidad, incluidas todas las tribus de Israel, están puestos en el Señor
.
2 La destrucción de Hamat está asegurada,
ciudad ubicada cerca de Damasco,
también para las ciudades de Tiro y de Sidón,
aunque sean tan astutas.
3 ¡Tiro ha construido una poderosa fortaleza
y ha logrado que la plata y el oro
sean tan abundantes como el polvo en las calles!
4 Pero ahora el Señor despojará a Tiro de sus posesiones
y lanzará sus fortificaciones al mar,
y será reducida a cenizas.
5 La ciudad de Ascalón verá la caída de Tiro
y se llenará de miedo.
Gaza temblará de terror
y lo mismo hará Ecrón, porque sus esperanzas se desvanecerán.
El rey de Gaza será asesinado
y Ascalón será abandonada.
