Babylon's King Overpowers Pharaoh Beside a Burning Templeby emmanuel_higgins
30:23Ezekiel 30:23
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Ezekiel 30:23 belongs to the prophecies against Egypt in Ezekiel 29 to 32 announcing the certain fate to come upon Pharaoh and his host. It stands with the prophecies against Ammon, Moab, Tyre and Egypt in Ezekiel 25 to 31, remarkable prophecies whose fulfillment is evident today. The verse foretells Egypt's defeat and removal into other nations and lands. The Egyptians would be scattered among the nations and dispersed through the countries, ending its power over other peoples.
The scattering is God's judgment against Egypt's idolatry, leaving Egypt desolate among other countries. The prophecy concerns Egypt as a former oppressor of God's people and a symbol of black infidelity. At that time it was one of the greatest kingdoms and at one time the greatest empire on earth, yet it would be brought low and abased among the nations to become the basest of the kingdoms and never rise again as a nation. Egypt's punishment came through fire and sword from the delta to Ethiopia, as God had declared.
The judgments foretold against Egypt have been literally fulfilled and are evident today. That fulfillment came through its conquest by Nebuchadnezzar and its later subjection to successive foreign rulers.
