Ezekiel 29:1-21
A prophecy against Egypt, judgement on Pharaoh.
Egypt cities will lie desolate forty years among ruined cities.
Disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
The Sovereign Lord says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations where they were scattered. Return them to Upper Egypt, the land of their ancestry.There they will be a lowly kingdom.
For he and his army got no reward from the campaign he led against Tyre. I have given him Egypt as a reward for his efforts because he and his army did it for me, declares the Sovereign Lord.
Why?
Pharaoh proud to the Nile river belongs to him, he made it for himself. And Egyptian have been a staff of reed for the people of Israel. So the wrath pour on Egypt.
All of the wealth had been lost and the people dispersed, 40 years later they will return to their own land, but Egypt has been a lowly kingdom.
Do the work of God has reward from the Lord.
How?
All of our belonging are gifts of the Lord, it is not mine, it is not made for myself. Praise be to the Lord Almighty. Thanks the Lord!
