“Now it shall come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot: "Take a harp, go about the city, You forgotten harlot; Make sweet melody, sing many songs, That you may be remembered”. Isa 23:15-16
In the above prophecy, Isaiah declared that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years and at the end, Tyre will be like the song of the harlot. Tyre in prophecy is the type and shadow of Satan. The prophetic revelation is that Satan does not give you free gift. Whatever he gives you is just for a moment and after a short while, it shall be taken away and you will be forgotten.
What is the song of a harlot? Like Tyre, she is a forgotten harlot. All her lovers have forsaken her; she now goes about the city pretending to be a young lady while she might be 35 to 50 years old. She goes about singing sweet melody to attract and deceive young, inexperienced men. She lured them into marriage through the wealth she accumulated by harlotry. She needs a young man desperate for money and pleasure, to take her shame and reproaches away.
Her womb has been destroyed, her sinew and hair are falling away, and all the aged men have forsaken her because they are familiar with her tricks, money manipulation and seductive sweet melody. She has been a dumping ground, used by men and now abandoned because she is now a waste product. Young Men, don’t be carried away with her sweet melody. Her song is a trap to lure into marriage so that she can be remembered. Don’t be carried away by her money because she will control you and even make you her slave. Do not forget that she is still the emblem of the King of Tyre (Satan).
