Ezekiel 30:22-31:18 The Assyrian Forewarning

The rise and demise of Assyria is a forewarning to Pharaoh of his own impending doom. If God can do such to Assyria, he can also do it to Egypt. Pride and arrogance, in nations or individuals, are an offence to God.

Description:

Part 48 of this series.

As God weakened Egypt and made Pharaoh defenceless, he would strengthen Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon.  Pharaoh would be left with the groans of death.

Two months later Ezekiel receives another word from the Lord with a message for Pharaoh.

The rise and demise of Assyria is a forewarning to Pharaoh of his own impending doom.  If God can do such to Assyria, he can also do it to Egypt.

Ezekiel is helping Judah to see that part of their fate and devine judgment also cannot be escaped.

Pride and arrogance, in nations or individuals, are an offence to God.  It made devils of angels and makes fiends out of men.

The lesson for us is in Micah 6:8:  Let us walk humbly with our God.
