Podcast Introduction

This is Prophecy Friday. We’ll read Ezekiel 25-30. I’m calling this episode “Judging the Nations.”

Thoughts on Ezekiel 25-30

Chapters 25-32 are chapters dealing with the nations surrounding Judah. God has dealt with His chosen people in the chapters previous to these, but now His judgement will be on the godless nations surrounding Judah and Jerusalem. This judgement follows God’s judgement upon Israel. Commentator Warren Wiersbe wrote, “What the nations didn’t realize was that the destruction of Jerusalem wasn’t just a punishment of the Jews; it was also a warning to the Gentiles.” And commentator Charles Feinberg continued the thought,  “The principle of I Peter 4:17-18 is pertinent throughout this section. If God judged His own people, in justice He must judge the nations for their sins as well.”

Ezekiel 25

God pronounces judgement on Ammon, Moab, Edom and the Philistines.

Interestingly, the Ammonites lived to the east side of the Jordan river. Their territory is included in what is now known as the country of Jordan. The capital of Jordan is Ammon. So the name lives on to this day.

Ezekiel 26-28

Tyre, a thriving trading city and kingdom, is judged

Ezekiel 29

Chapter 29 is the first of four chapters which prophecy against Egypt.

Comments

Israel had long looked to Egypt in times of trouble, going back to Abraham’s time in Canaan. (Gen 12:10-20) In Isaiah 31:1, God warned Israel by saying, “Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help.”

Even though Egypt kept Israel in bondage for 400 years, they still looked to Egypt to rescue them from the Babylonians here in Ezekiel’s time. So in order to get their eyes off Egypt and on Him, and because of Egypt’s pride, God will destroy Egypt.

As we read about these once great nations, we should be humbled. No nation is so big that God can’t utterly destroy it, if it turns its face against Him or against Israel. Yes, I believe that Israel still holds a special place in God’s heart. There are still prophecies yet to be fulfilled that deal with them, so I believe that we should pray for and support Israel.

Beloved, I believe that it is imperative that we, no matter where we live, need to pray that people around the world turn to God for forgiveness, guidance, and protection. We need a world wide revival, beloved. God is calling people of all nations to follow Him. Be a light in the darkness, beloved. Share Jesus whenever and wherever the Holy Spirit leads you. You have a lifesaving, eternity-saving message. Don’t hide it.

Ezekiel, chapter 25, the word of the Lord came to me saying, Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites And prophesy against them, say to the Ammonites, hear the word of the Lord God, Thus says the Lord God, because you said haha against my sanctuary when it was profane, And against the Land of Israel when it was desolate, And against the house of Judah when they went into captivity, indeed, therefore, I will deliver you as a possession to the men of the East, And they shall set their encampments among you, And make their dwellings among you, they shall eat your fruit, And they shall drink your milk, And I will make Rabba a stable for camels And Amman a resting place for flocks, then you shall know that I am the Lord. For thus says the Lord God, because you clap your hands, stamped your feet And rejoiced in heart with all your disdain for the land of Israel. Indeed, therefore, I will stretch out my hand against you And give you as plunder to the nation’s I will cut you off from the peoples And I will cause you to perish from the country’s I will destroy you, And you shall know that I am the Lord. Thus says the Lord God, because Moab And seers say, look, the house of Judah is like all the nations. Therefore Behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities of the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshua, moth, Bale Mian And Kira tham to the men of the East I will give it as a possession together with the Ammonites, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations And I will execute judgments upon Moab, And they shall know that I am the LORD says the Lord God, because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance And has greatly offended by avenging itself on them. Therefore thus says the Lord God, I will also stretch out my hand against Edom, cut off man And beast from it, And make it desolate from Tieman D Dan shall fall by the sword, I will lay vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people, Israel that they may do in Edom according to my anger, And according to my fury, And they shall know my vengeance says the Lord God. Thus says the Lord God, because the Philistines dealt vengefully And took vengeance with a spiteful heart to destroy because of the old hatred. Therefore, Thus says the Lord God, I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, And I will cut off the keralites And destroy the remnant of the sea coast. I will execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes, And they shall know that I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon them.

Ezekiel chapter 26. And it came to pass in the 11th year on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me saying, Son of man, because tyre has said against Jerusalem, aha, she is broken, who was the gateway of the peoples now she is turned over to me, I shall be filled, she is laid waste. Therefore thus says the Lord God, Behold, I am against you Oh tire, And I will cause many nations to come up against you as the sea causes its waves to come up, And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre And break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her And make her like the top of a rock. It shall be a place for spreading nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken, says the Lord. God, it shall become plunder for the nations. Also her daughter villages which are in the fields shall be slain by the sword, then they shall know that I am the Lord. For thus says the Lord God, behold they will bring against tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, King of Kings, with horses with chariots And with horsemen, And an army with many people. He will slay with a sword your daughter villages in the fields, he will heap up a siege mound against you build a wall against you, And raise a defense against you. He will direct his battering ram against your walls, And with his access, he will break down your towers. Because of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, the wagons And the chariots when he enters your gates. As men enter a city that has been breached with the hooves of his horses, he will trample all your streets, he will slay your people by the sword, And your strong pillars will fall to the ground. They will plunder your riches And pillage your merchandise. They will break down your walls And destroy your pleasant houses. They will lay your stones your timber And your soil in the midst of the water. I will put an end to the sound of your songs And the sound of your harps shall be heard no more. I will make you like the top of a rock. You shall be a place for spreading nets, And you shall never be rebuilt For I the LORD have spoken, says the Lord God. Thus says the Lord God to Tyre will the coastlands not shake at the sound of your fall when the wounded cry when slaughter is made in the midst of you, then all the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, lay aside their robes And take off their embroidered garments. They will clothed themselves with trembling, they will sit on the ground tremble every moment And be astonished at you. And they will take up a lamentation for you And say to you how you have perished oh one inhabited by Seafaring men, oh, renowned city who was strong at sea, she And her inhabitants who caused their terror to be on all her inhabitants. Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall. Yes, the coastlands by the sea are troubled at your departure. For thus says the Lord God, when I make you a desolate city like cities that are not inhabited. When I bring the deep upon you in great waters cover you then I will bring you down with all those who descend into the pit to the people of old. And I will make you dwell in the lowest part of the earth, in places desolate from antiquity with those who go down to the pit so that you may never be inhabited, And I shall establish glory in the land of the living. I will make you a terror And you shall be no more though you are sought for you will never be found again says the Lord God.

Ezekiel chapter 28 A message came to me from the Lord. He said, Son of man speak to Earth bale. He is the ruler of Tyre. Tell him the Lord in King says, in your proud heart, you say I am a God, I sit on the throne of a god in the Mediterranean Sea. But you are only a man you are not a god. In spite of that you think you are as wise as a god? Are you wiser than Daniel isn’t even one secret hidden from you. You are wise And understanding. So you will become very wealthy. You have piled up gold And silver among your treasures. You have used your great skill in trading to increase your wealth. You are very rich, so your heart has become proud. The Lord And King says you think you are wise. In fact, you claim to be as wise as a god. So I am going to bring strangers against you. They will not show you any pity at all. They will use their swords against your beauty And wisdom. They will strike down your shining glory. They will bring you down to the grave. You will die a horrible death in the middle of the sea. Then will you say I am a God? Will you say that to those who kill you. You will only be a man to those who kill you. You will not be a God to them. You will die just like those who have not been circumcised. Strangers will kill you. I have spoken announces the Lord And King. A message came to me from the Lord. He said, Son of man sing a song of sadness about the king of Tyre. Tell him the Lord And King says you were the model of perfection. You were full of wisdom. You were perfect And beautiful. You were in Eden. It was my garden. All kinds of jewels decorated you. Here’s a list of them. Ruby Topaz And emerald chrysolite. Onyx And Jasper, Sapphire, turquoise And barrel. Your settings in mountings were made out of gold. On the day you were created. They were prepared. I appointed you to be like a guardian cherub. I anointed you for that purpose. You were on My holy mountain. You walked among the gleaming jewels. Your conduct was without blame from the day you were created. But soon you began to sin. You traded with many nations. You harmed people everywhere. And you sinned. So I sent you away from my mountain in shame, Guardian cherub. I drove you away from among the gleaming jewels. You thought you were so handsome that it made your heart proud. You thought you were so glorious that it spoiled your wisdom. So I threw you down to the earth. I made an example out of you in front of kings, your many sins And dishonest trade, polluted your temple. So I made you go up in flames. I turned you into nothing but ashes on the ground. I let everyone see it. All of the nations that knew you were shocked because of what happened to you. You have come to a terrible end And you will be gone forever. A message came to me from the Lord. He said, Son of man, turn your attention to the city of Sidon. prophesy against it, say the Lord And King says Sidon, I am against your people. I will gain glory for myself inside your city walls, I will punish your people. I will show that I am holy among them, then they will know that I am the Lord. I will send a plague on them. I will make blood flow in your streets. Those who are killed will fall inside you. swords will strike your people on every side, then they will know that I am the Lord. The people of Israel will no longer have neighbors who hate them. Those neighbors will not be like sharp And painful thorns anymore. Then Israel will know that I am the lord And king. The Lord And King says I will gather the people of Israel together from the nations where they have been scattered. I will show them that I am wholly among them. I will let the nation see it. Then Israel will live in their own land. I gave it to my servant Jacob. My people will live there in safety. They will build houses, they will plant vineyards, they will live in safety. I will punish all of their neighbors who told lies about them, then Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.

Ezekiel chapter 29 It was the 10th years since King Jehovah Qin had been brought to Babylon as a prisoner. On the 12th day of the 10th month, a message came to me from the Lord. He said, Son of man, turn your attention to Pharaoh ha fra He is king of Egypt. prophesy against him And the whole land of Egypt. Tell him the Lord And King says Pharaoh Hoffa, I am against you, King of Egypt, you are like a huge monster lying among your streams. You say the Nile River belongs to me, I made it for myself. But I will put hooks in your jaws. I will make the fish And your streams stick to your scales. I will pull you out from among your streams. All of the fish will stick to your scales. I will leave you out in the desert. All of the fish in your streams will be there with you. You will fall down in an open field. You will not be picked up. I will feed you to the wild animals into the birds of the air. Then everyone who lives in Egypt will know that I am the Lord. You have been like a walking stick made out of a papyrus stem. The people of Israel tried to lean on you. They took hold of you, but you broke under their weight. You tore their shoulders open, they leaned on you but you snapped into And their backs were broken. So the Lord And King says I will send Nebuchadnezzar sword against you. He will kill your people And their animals. Egypt will become a dry And empty desert, then your people will know that I am the Lord. You said the Nile River belongs to me, I made it for myself. So I am against you And your streams. I will destroy the Land of Egypt. I will turn it into a dry And empty desert from Migdal all the way to as one. I will destroy everything as far as the border of Cush. No people or animals will travel through Egypt. No one will even live there for 40 years, Egypt will be more empty than any other land. It’s destroyed. Cities will lie empty for 40 years, I will scatter the people of Egypt among the nations, I will send them to other countries. But the Lord And King says at the end of 40 years I will gather the Egyptians together from the nations where they were scattered. I will bring them back from where they were taken as prisoners. I will return them to Upper Egypt. That is where they came from there they will be an unimportant kingdom, Egypt will be the least important kingdom of all, it will never place itself above the other nations again. I will make it very weak, then it will never again rule over the nations the people of Israel will no longer trust in Egypt. Instead, Egypt will remind them of how they sinned when they turned it to it for Help them they will know that I am the LORD And KING. It was the 27 years since King Jehovah Ken had been brought to Babylon as a prisoner. On the first day of the first month, a message came to me from the Lord. He said, Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylonia, drove his army in a hard military campaign against tire their helmets rubbed their heads bear the heavy loads, they carried May their shoulders raw, but he had his army did not gain anything from the campaign he led against tyre. So I’m going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylonia. He will carry off its wealth, he will take away anything else you have, he will give it to his army. I have given Egypt to him as a reward for his efforts. After all, he And his army attacked Egypt because I told him to announce as the Lord And King when Nebuchadnezzar wins the battle over Egypt, I will make the people of Israel strong again, Ezekiel, I will open your mouth And you will be able to speak to them, then they will know that I am the Lord.

Steve Webb 21:06

It will be a cloudy day, the nations have been sentenced to die. I will send Nebuchadnezzar sword against Egypt, cush will suffer terribly. Many will die in Egypt, then its wealth will be carried away. Its foundations will be torn down. The people of Kush pote, Lydia, Libya, And the whole land of Arabia will be killed with swords, so will the Jews who live in Egypt, they went there from the covenant Land of Israel, And the Egyptians will die to. The Lord says, Those who are going to help Egypt will die. The strength Egypt was so proud of will fail. Its people will be killed with swords from Migdal all the way to as one announces the Lord And King. Egypt will be more empty than any other land, its cities will be completely destroyed. I will set Egypt on fire, all those who came to help it will be crushed, then they will know that I am the Lord. At that time I will send messengers out in ships, they will terrify the people of Kush, who are so contented. Kush will suffer greatly when Egypt falls And you can be sure it will fall. The Lord And King says, I will put an end to the huge armies of Egypt. I will use Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylonia to do it. He And his armies will attack the land And destroy it. They will not show its people any pity at all. They will use their swords against Egypt. They will fill the land with dead bodies. I will dry up the streams of the Nile River. I will sell the land to evil men. I will use the powerful hands of strangers to destroy the Land And everything in it. I have spoken. I am the Lord. The Lord And King says I will destroy the statues of Egypt’s gods. I will put an end to the gods the people in Memphis worship. Egypt will not have princes anymore.

He said, Son of man, I have broken the powerful arm of Pharaoh Hofstra the king of Egypt. No bandages had been put on his arm to heal it.

I will break his healthy arm And his broken when his sword will fall from his hand. I will scatter the people of Egypt among the nations. I will send them to other countries. I will make the arms of the king of Babylonia stronger. I will put my sword in his hand. But I will break the arms of Pharaoh And he will groan in front of Nebuchadnezzar. He will cry out like someone dying from his wounds.

Steve Webb 25:20
Well, today we’re going to take a 45,000 foot view of the reading how’s that sound? We read chapters 25 through 30, but 25 through 32, our chapters dealing with the nation’s surrounding Judah. So next week, we’ll finish up this particular section. As we’ve seen, God has dealt with his chosen people in the chapters previous to these but now his judgment will be on the godless nations surrounding Judah And Jerusalem. In relation to this judgment following God’s judgment upon Israel. Commentator Warren weirs be wrote, what the nation’s didn’t realize was that the destruction of Jerusalem wasn’t just a punishment of the Jews. It was also a warning to the Gentiles. And then commentator Charles Feinberg continues this thought he wrote, the principle of First Peter for 17 And 18 is pertinent throughout this section. If God judged his own people in justice, he must judge the nations for their sins as well. So in Ezekiel 25, we saw that God pronounced judgment on Ammon, Moab, Edom And the Philistines. Interestingly, the Ammonites lived to the east side of the Jordan River, their territories included in what is now known as the country of Jordan. Again, we’re speaking of the Ammonites. Well, the capital of Jordan is Amman. So that name lives on to this very day. And then in chapters 2627 And 28 tyre which was a thriving trading city And kingdom was judged. And then in Ezekiel 28, there are several verses that I want to repeat to you And see if this doesn’t remind you of something more modern. Ezekiel 2812 And 13 Say, you were the model of perfection. You were full of wisdom. You were perfect And beautiful. You were an Eden, it was my garden, all kinds of jewels decorated you then dropping down to 14, I appointed you to be elected guardian angel, I anointed you for that purpose. And then verses 18 And 19. Your many sins And dishonest trade made your holy places impure. So I made you go up in flames. I turned you into nothing but ashes on the ground. I let everyone see it. All the nations that knew you are shocked because of what happened to you. You have come to a horrible end, And you will be gone forever. And then chapter 29 is the first of four chapters which prophesy against Egypt. Israel had long looked to Egypt in times of trouble going back to Abraham’s time in Canaan. In Isaiah 31 One God warned Israel by saying woe to those who go down to Egypt for help. And even though Egypt kept Israel in bondage for 400 years, Israel still looked to Egypt to rescue them from the Babylonians here in Ezekiel steim. So in order to get their eyes off Egypt, in on him And because of Egypt’s pride, God is saying, I’m going to destroy Egypt. Well, Beloved, as we read about these once great nations, I think we should be humbled. No nation is so big, that God can’t utterly destroy it. If it turns its face against him, or against Israel, And of Israel. Yes, I believe that they still hold a special place in God’s heart. There are still prophecies yet to be fulfilled that deal with them. And so I believe that we should pray for And support Israel. And beloved, I believe that it’s imperative that we no matter where we live around the world, we need to pray that people around the world turn to God for forgiveness, for guidance, And for protection. We need a worldwide revival, beloved, God is calling people of all nations to follow him. Be a light in the darkness, beloved, share Jesus whenever And wherever the Holy Spirit leads you.
