In the context of <a href="/ezekiel/32.htm">Ezekiel 32</a>, God is pronouncing judgment on Pharaoh and Egypt, symbolizing the downfall of a powerful nation. The imagery of flesh on the mountains suggests a widespread and public display of defeat, emphasizing the totality of God's judgment. Mountains in biblical literature often represent places of revelation or significant events, and here they serve as a backdrop for the consequences of rebellion against God. This imagery can be compared to other prophetic writings, such as <a href="/isaiah/34-3.htm">Isaiah 34:3</a>, where the slain are left unburied as a sign of divine wrath.<p><b>and fill the valleys with your remains.</b><br>The valleys, often seen as places of refuge or habitation, are now depicted as filled with the remains of the defeated. This signifies the complete and utter desolation that follows God's judgment. The filling of valleys with remains indicates that there will be no place untouched by the consequences of sin and rebellion. This imagery is reminiscent of the valley of dry bones in <a href="/ezekiel/37.htm">Ezekiel 37</a>, where God demonstrates His power to bring life from death, contrasting the hopelessness of judgment with the hope of restoration. The phrase also echoes the fate of other nations judged by God, as seen in <a href="/jeremiah/8-2.htm">Jeremiah 8:2</a>, where the remains of the unfaithful are left exposed.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God who ministered to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.
