This week we are studying Ezekiel 30, which contains Ezekiel’s third and fourth oracles against Egypt. There are seven in total.
In the third oracle, God commanded Ezekiel to wail over Egypt. He said, “The Day of the Lord is near; it will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations” (30:1). Ezekiel proclaimed that the “Day of the Lord” would bring devastation to Egypt and its neighboring nations (30:1-19). The oracle painted a grim picture of Egypt’s downfall, describing the destruction of cities, the slaughter of people, and the collapse of power structures. In the fourth oracle, God described breaking the Pharaoh’s arm so badly that it had no chance of healing.
