Kings of Tyre any of the allies of Judean Kings David and Solomon and by extension everyone else we never heard of. This is prophecy and we have to make out whatever we can from such things, literally as the spirit moves us.
We can say they were blessed in being given the contract to supply the timber for the Temple to Jehovah and we can say they were doomed to produce ships Jehovah destroyed in storms. Storm being the operative word. Evidently the end of Tyre was prophecy foretold centuries in advance. Tyrians, treacherousy, selling their former allies into slavery.
Something like that occurred with the Anglo American Empire. One assumes Persia suffered similarly as did all such alliances as Daniel indicated. When Britain extended its Empire all over the world there appeared to be nothing that could rival it. Germany attempted its destruction because Britain forced it to suffer a trade war. Britain warred against its German ally in the first place.
Germany was destroyed but it cost Great Britain its headship. World War One reduced it to starvation when the plagues were over. Germany fared far worse. When Germany heaved itself out of perdition it fought against Britain once more but this time it struck at Britains’ compatriots, all but India and America.
All these empires are considered cadavers from the POV of heaven IMO, the Bible speaks of them as beasts, the same way that Daniel described Babylon, whose King became mad, some sort of a cadaver, what we call a zombie these days. Disgusting things that we avoid when possible. Jehovah’s Witnesses are particularly good at spotting them, to get the hell out of their way if they can. To face down in a stand off if they can’t.
What happened to Britian is that its leaders chose an American to plead with the Americans for the ships of Tyre not realising how the Americans were related to the canaanites. And now the canaanites are ruling for a time: The once poud iron-work of the British Empire. The British say that Americans don’t understand irony. That is ironic but in every sense of irony the British were slavers with an history of cruelty even now still selling its people.
And it performs great signs, even making fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of mankind. It misleads those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs that it was permitted to perform
