Historically, Egypt was a dominant force, often seen as a symbol of worldly power and idolatry. The dispersion of the Egyptians signifies a dismantling of their power and influence. This act of scattering is reminiscent of God's judgment on other nations, such as the Israelites during the Babylonian exile (<a href="/2_kings/17-6.htm">2 Kings 17:6</a>). The dispersion serves as a humbling act, breaking the pride of Egypt and demonstrating God's sovereignty over all nations. It also reflects the broader biblical theme of God using dispersion as a form of judgment and correction (<a href="/genesis/11-8.htm">Genesis 11:8-9</a>).<p><b>and scatter them throughout the lands.</b><br>The scattering throughout the lands emphasizes the totality and completeness of the judgment. It suggests that the Egyptians will be uprooted from their homeland and spread across various territories, losing their cultural and national identity. This scattering can be seen as a reversal of the gathering and unification that God often promises to His people (<a href="/ezekiel/11-17.htm">Ezekiel 11:17</a>). The scattering of Egypt is a fulfillment of prophetic warnings given by other prophets, such as Isaiah and Jeremiah, who also spoke of Egypt's downfall (<a href="/isaiah/19.htm">Isaiah 19:1-15</a>, <a href="/jeremiah/46-25.htm">Jeremiah 46:25-26</a>). This dispersion serves as a warning to other nations about the consequences of pride and idolatry.<p><b>Then they will know that I am the LORD.”</b><br>This concluding phrase underscores the ultimate purpose of God's judgment: the recognition of His sovereignty and authority. Throughout the book of Ezekiel, the repeated refrain "Then they will know that I am the LORD" highlights God's desire for all people to acknowledge Him as the one true God. This acknowledgment is not just intellectual but involves a recognition of God's power, justice, and mercy. The judgment on Egypt serves as a demonstration of God's control over history and nations, reinforcing the message that He alone is worthy of worship. This theme is consistent with other biblical passages where God's actions lead to a deeper understanding and reverence for Him (<a href="/exodus/7-5.htm">Exodus 7:5</a>, <a href="/ezekiel/6-7.htm">Ezekiel 6:7</a>). The phrase also points to the eschatological hope that one day all nations will recognize and worship the Lord (<a href="/philippians/2-10.htm">Philippians 2:10-11</a>).<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.
