Message: A sad day for Egypt; the broken arms of Pharaoh.
Time: Commentators date this oracle of judgment to April 29, 587 BC.
What the Lord is Saying: Once again, the demise and desolation of Egypt is pictured here. It is a message that Nebuchadnezzar will be the one to carry out judgment against Egypt. It is clear from this passage that great doom will come to Egypt and the surrounding nations.
And then the arms of Pharaoh will be broken.
Promise: Through this events, over and over, Ezekiel states from the Lord that the people will know then that, "God is the Lord." He will be known. The problem is we forget God. We are so busy in our activities that we forget God is even present, even there. He holds a part of our life, but not our entire life. Decisions get made with him not on the throne of our life.
