It is a common prophetic introduction, underscoring that the words are not from the prophet himself but from God. This establishes the seriousness and certainty of the prophecy, as seen throughout the Old Testament in books like Isaiah and Jeremiah.I will destroy the idols Idolatry was a significant issue in ancient Egypt, with numerous gods worshiped. The destruction of idols signifies God's judgment against false worship and the impotence of these gods. This echoes the first commandment in <a href="/exodus/20-3.htm">Exodus 20:3</a>, where God commands exclusive worship. The destruction of idols is a recurring theme in the prophets, symbolizing the triumph of the one true God over false deities.and put an end to the images in Memphis. Memphis was a major city in ancient Egypt, known for its religious significance and as a center of worship for the god Ptah. The mention of Memphis highlights the extent of God's judgment, reaching the heart of Egyptian religious life. Archaeological findings confirm Memphis's prominence and its vast array of temples and statues, which would have been targets of this divine judgment.There will no longer be a prince in Egypt, This prophecy foretells political upheaval and the end of Egyptian sovereignty. Historically, Egypt experienced periods of foreign domination, such as the Persian and later Greek conquests, which align with this prediction. The absence of a native ruler signifies a loss of power and autonomy, reflecting God's control over nations as seen in <a href="/daniel/2-21.htm">Daniel 2:21</a>.and I will instill fear in that land. The instillation of fear indicates the profound impact of God's judgment on the people of Egypt. This fear is not just of military defeat but of the realization of God's supremacy. Similar expressions of fear are found in other prophetic books, such as <a href="/isaiah/19-16.htm">Isaiah 19:16</a>, where fear is a response to divine intervention. This fear serves as a reminder of God's power and the consequences of turning away from Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord_god.htm">The Lord GOD</a> The sovereign and covenant-keeping God of Israel, who speaks through the prophet Ezekiel. 2. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> A prophet of God who ministered to the exiles in Babylon, delivering messages of judgment and hope. 3. <a href="/topical/m/memphis.htm">Memphis</a> An ancient capital of Egypt, known for its religious significance and numerous idols. 4. <a href="/topical/e/egypt.htm">Egypt</a> A powerful nation often in conflict with Israel, symbolizing worldly power and idolatry. 5. <a href="/topical/i/idols_and_images.htm">Idols and Images</a> Representations of false gods worshiped in Egypt, which God promises to destroy.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_nations.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Nations</a> God is in control of all nations, and His plans will prevail over human power and idolatry. <a href="/topical/j/judgment_against_idolatry.htm">Judgment Against Idolatry</a> God will not tolerate the worship of false gods, and He will act to remove them from His creation. <a href="/topical/f/fear_of_the_lord.htm">Fear of the Lord</a> True fear of the Lord leads to wisdom and understanding, contrasting with the fear instilled by God's judgment. <a href="/topical/t/the_futility_of_earthly_power.htm">The Futility of Earthly Power</a> Earthly rulers and powers are temporary and subject to God's ultimate authority. <a href="/topical/c/call_to_repentance.htm">Call to Repentance</a> Recognizing God's judgment should lead us to repentance and a turning away from idolatry in our own lives.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_ezekiel_30.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Ezekiel 30</a> <a href="/q/why_no_evidence_of_ezekiel_30's_events.htm">If Ezekiel 30 as a whole is taken literally, why do we not see conclusive archeological or historical confirmation of these catastrophic outcomes across Egypt and the surrounding nations?</a> <a href="/q/evidence_of_egypt's_idol_destruction.htm">According to Ezekiel 30:13, idols in Egypt would be destroyed and images removed; where is the evidence for this large-scale religious purging in Egyptian history?</a> <a href="/q/why_don't_findings_confirm_nebuchadnezzar's_egypt_conquest.htm">Ezekiel 30:10 predicts that Nebuchadnezzar would devastate Egypt; why do some archaeological findings not clearly corroborate such a massive conquest?</a> <a href="/q/what_foods_are_mentioned_in_the_bible.htm">What foods are mentioned in the Bible?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/30.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(13) Noph.--A contraction of Menoph, Memphis, the capital of Lower Egypt, situated in the region of the Pyramids, the seat of several dynasties, one of the chief centres of Egyptian idolatry, and celebrated for its Temple of Ptah.There shall be no more a prince is to be understood, in accordance with the rest of the prophecy, not absolutely, but relatively: there shall be no more a native prince possessing the power of former kings.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/30.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 13. - Noph, or, as in <a href="/hosea/9-6.htm">Hosea 9:6</a>, Moph, is a form of the Egyptian M'noph, the reek Memphis (so in the LXX.), the capital of Lower Egypt, the chief center of the worship of Phthah, whom the Greeks identified with Hephaestos.
