The Lord +gives warning that Egypt's doom is close at hand, and its neighbors are going +to fall with it. A sword and fire will come upon northern Africa from Arabia to +Libya, from Egypt down to Ethiopia (known as Cush then). + +The wealth and security that being Egypt's neighbor will no longer be available +for Nebuchadnezzar will sieze and shatter it. In addition, the Lord will dry up +the Nile River, the lifeblood of the region. The famous and varied idols and +images of Egypt's religion will be broken. + +Several prominent cities in Egypt are given more specific descriptions of the +doom that is coming for the nation as a whole. There may be subtle word play or +references to attributes of those cities, but I'm not enough of a scholar to go +looking for them. Instead, we can be sure that it is the Lord who brought these +things about to the Egyptians for the purpose of declaring His holiness to the +nations. + +* * * + +All rebellion against Your rule will fail, even if it takes thousands of years.
