From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And her merchandise -The prophecy here does not mean that this would take place immediately after her rebuilding, but that subsequent to the seventy years of desolation this would occur. Shall be holiness to the Lord -This undoubtedly means, that at some future period, after the rebuilding of Tyre, the true religion would prevail there, and her wealth would be devoted to his service. That the true religion prevailed at Tyre subsequently to its restoration and rebuilding there can be no doubt. The Christian religion was early established at Tyre. It was visited by the SaviourMatthew 15:21, and by Paul. Paul found several disciples of Christ there when on his way to JerusalemActs 21:3-6.
