It is used over 90 times in the book, highlighting the contrast between human frailty and divine authority. The title is also significant in the New Testament, where Jesus frequently refers to Himself as the "Son of Man," indicating His role as the representative human and the fulfillment of prophecy.wail for the multitudes of Egypt The command to "wail" indicates a lamentation over impending judgment. Egypt, a powerful nation in Ezekiel's time, is facing divine retribution. Historically, Egypt was a dominant force in the ancient Near East, often opposing Israel. The "multitudes" refer to the vast population and armies of Egypt, emphasizing the scale of the coming destruction.and consign her and the daughters of the mighty nations This phrase suggests that Egypt, along with other powerful nations, will face a similar fate. The "daughters of the mighty nations" could refer to smaller, dependent states or allies of Egypt. This reflects the interconnectedness of ancient Near Eastern politics and the widespread impact of God's judgment.to the depths of the earth The "depths of the earth" symbolize the grave or Sheol, the abode of the dead in Hebrew thought. This imagery conveys the finality and severity of the judgment. It also reflects the belief in a distinct separation between the living and the dead, a common theme in biblical eschatology.with those who descend to the Pit The "Pit" is another term for Sheol, emphasizing the place of the dead. This phrase connects Egypt's fate with that of other nations and individuals who have faced divine judgment. It serves as a warning of the consequences of pride and rebellion against God.
