Today’s passage: Ezekiel 30
Helpful thoughts:
- “The day of the Lord” is a term of judgment.
- Verses 4-5 contain other nations surrounding Egypt. Verses 13-19 mention several cities within Egypt.
- In this judgment, God says He will “break the arms” of the king of Egypt, causing him to drop his sword, and He will “put my sword” in the hands of Nebuchadnezzar.
Questions to consider:
- What phrase do we see over and over at the end of each promise of judgment? Why is it so important that we are reminded the nations will know that God is the LORD?
- How does remembering that God is the LORD help us each day to live for Him? How can it give us peace? How can it give us confidence to follow Him? How can it give us hope in the midst of hardship?
