Ezekiel 29-31
Ezekiel 29:8-12
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Chapter 29 begins Ezekiel’s last prophecy and it is geared toward Egypt. It is the first of seven against Israel’s former enemy. When God pronounces judgment upon any person or group, they are doomed for there is no one to change it. God is supreme and He is in complete control. He cannot be altered or affected by the opposition of anyone or anything. Egypt had experienced periods of success and were known as a world power; however, God was now ready to judge their arrogance.
When God judges, there is no hope. What a blessing for us as born again Christians to know that our sin was judged at Calvary and it was paid in full. Therefore, we will not experience the wrath of God. However, there are millions of people who are currently under the wrath of God and the only solution is the gospel. It is our responsibility to share the good news with the world. May we be faithful witnesses today.
