In the prophetic books, this introduction is a common formula indicating that the following words are not merely the prophet's own but are a direct revelation from God. It underscores the seriousness and certainty of the prophecy.<p><b>I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt:</b><br>Egypt, a powerful and influential nation in the ancient Near East, often symbolized human pride and reliance on worldly power. The "hordes" refer to the vast armies and people of Egypt. Historically, Egypt was a formidable force, and this prophecy foretells its downfall, highlighting God's sovereignty over nations. This aligns with other biblical prophecies against Egypt, such as in <a href="/isaiah/19.htm">Isaiah 19</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/46.htm">Jeremiah 46</a>, where Egypt's downfall is also predicted.<p><b>by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon:</b><br>Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon, known for his military conquests and the expansion of the Babylonian Empire. His role as an instrument of God's judgment is significant, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/jeremiah/25-9.htm">Jeremiah 25:9</a>, where he is called God's servant. This prophecy was fulfilled historically when Nebuchadnezzar invaded Egypt around 568-567 BC. The use of a pagan king to execute divine judgment illustrates God's control over all rulers and nations, regardless of their acknowledgment of Him. This also foreshadows the ultimate judgment and deliverance brought by Jesus Christ, who, unlike Nebuchadnezzar, brings a kingdom of peace and righteousness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord_god.htm">The Lord GOD</a></b><br>The sovereign ruler and ultimate authority, who declares His intentions and judgments.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/e/egypt.htm">Egypt</a></b><br>A powerful and historically significant nation, often seen as a symbol of worldly power and opposition to God's people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/n/nebuchadnezzar.htm">Nebuchadnezzar</a></b><br>The king of Babylon, used by God as an instrument of judgment against Egypt.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylon.htm">Babylon</a></b><br>A dominant empire during this period, known for its conquests and as a tool in God's hand for executing His plans.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God, delivering messages of judgment and hope to the Israelites during their exile.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_nations.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Nations</a></b><br>God is in control of all nations and uses them to accomplish His purposes, even when they are unaware of His plans.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/j/judgment_as_a_tool_for_correction.htm">Judgment as a Tool for Correction</a></b><br>God's judgments are not arbitrary but serve to correct and realign nations and individuals with His will.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_prophets.htm">The Role of Prophets</a></b><br>Prophets like Ezekiel are vital in communicating God's messages, offering both warnings and hope.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_temporary_nature_of_earthly_power.htm">The Temporary Nature of Earthly Power</a></b><br>Egypt's downfall serves as a reminder that worldly power is fleeting and subject to God's ultimate authority.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_plan.htm">Trust in God's Plan</a></b><br>Believers are encouraged to trust in God's plan, even when it involves difficult or unexpected circumstances.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_ezekiel_30.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Ezekiel 30</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><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><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><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><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_align_ezekiel_30_20-21_with_history.htm">Given Ezekiel 30:20-21's emphasis on the timing of events near the Pharaoh's fall, how do we reconcile the prophecy's sequence with the reported chronology from extrabiblical sources?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_aren't_babylon_egypt_judged_like_ezekiel_22_15.htm">Why is there no mention of any other civilizations, such as Babylon or Egypt, being judged in the same manner as described in Ezekiel 22:15, despite historical records of their own atrocities?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/30.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 10, 11.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar</span>.
