The Ripple Effect of Judgment
Commentators explain that the "isles" refer to Tyre's vast network of colonies and trading partners throughout the Mediterranean. These included settlements in Cyprus, Spain, Sicily, and North Africa (like Carthage). These regions depended on Tyre as their "mother-city" for trade and even religious leadership. Therefore, Tyre's fall would cause a massive, real-world ripple effect of economic panic and fear across its empire.
