any failed prophecy makes him a false prophet by biblical standard

You either didn't read or ignored the post.

Jonah 3:4 Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown - Failed

Ezekiel 26, 27, 28: Tyre will be plundered, pillaged, destroyed by the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar. Tyre will be made a desolate city. Tyre will be built no more. Tyre will exist no more, forever. - Failed

Jesus (Matt 24:34): This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled - Failed

any failed prophecy makes him a false prophet by biblical standard

So Jonah, Ezekiel, and Jesus Christ Himself are false prophets?

Jonah 3:4 Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown - Failed
_________________________________________

Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. Jonah 1:2

And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. Jonah 3:2, 3

Jonah went to Ninevah and did what God told him to do

And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. Jonah 3:4

The people repented...

So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. Jonah 3:5

The king proclaimed...

But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that [is] in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? Jonah 3:8, 0

And God changed His mind...

And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that He had said that He would do unto them; and He did it not. Jonah 3:10

But at thge time, Jonah obeyed God and told the people what God had commanded him to say...

Jonah = True prophet of God

And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? Jonaqh 4:11

This generation has not passed yet...

This dispensation is right now...

We are living in it...

God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Numbers 23:19

Conditional prophecy answered by God Himself:

Jonah 3:9 Who can tell [if] God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.
Jonah 4:2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, [was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou [art] a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
Jonah 4:11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and [also] much cattle?

Tyre will exist no more, forever. - Failed

Improper representation of Exekiel 26-28. 6 of 7 key points of the prophecy were fulfilled. You dispute the 7th, however, the present day Tyre is not built over the spot of the ancient Tyre. They can't find ruins of the town because Alexander scraped it to rock to build the causway to the island of Tyre proper.

Jesus (Matt 24:34): This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled - Failed

Context, context, context. What is being referred to in this verse????? Signs regarding the end times return - Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.

What things......

Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

So Jonah, Ezekiel, and Jesus Christ Himself are false prophets?

Only if one ignores passages in context with the rest of the associated scriptures and history.
