Amen. 00:00:43.47\00:00:45.72 Reading in the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 28, 00:00:46.95\00:00:50.48 and God is speaking about 00:00:50.49\00:00:52.24 when He will gather together again Israel, 00:00:52.25\00:00:56.35 who has been scattered. Picking up in verse 26. 00:00:56.36\00:01:00.97 And they shall dwell safely therein, 00:01:00.98\00:01:04.52 and shall build houses, and plant vineyards. 00:01:04.53\00:01:06.70 Yea, they shall dwell with confidence, 00:01:06.71\00:01:09.11 when I have executed judgments upon all those 00:01:09.12\00:01:12.02 that despise them round about them, 00:01:12.03\00:01:14.74 and they shall know that I am the Lord their God. 00:01:14.75\00:01:18.96 Continuing in Ezekiel, Chapter 29, 00:01:21.31\00:01:23.47 and this is the King James Version. 00:01:23.48\00:01:26.31 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, 00:01:26.32\00:01:28.88 in the twelfth day of the month, 00:01:28.89\00:01:31.44 the word of the Lord came unto me, 00:01:31.45\00:01:33.08 saying, "Son of man, 00:01:33.09\00:01:35.13 set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, 00:01:35.14\00:01:37.67 and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt. 00:01:37.68\00:01:41.51 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God. 00:01:41.52\00:01:46.25 Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt. 00:01:46.26\00:01:49.90 The great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, 00:01:49.91\00:01:53.47 which hath said, My river is mine own, 00:01:53.48\00:01:56.10 and I have made it for myself. 00:01:56.11\00:01:58.94 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, 00:01:58.95\00:02:00.94 and I will cause the fish of thy rivers 00:02:00.95\00:02:03.60 to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up 00:02:03.61\00:02:06.93 out of the midst of thy rivers. 00:02:06.94\00:02:08.98 And all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. 00:02:08.99\00:02:13.47 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, 00:02:13.48\00:02:16.63 thee and all the fish of thy rivers, 00:02:16.64\00:02:18.99 thou shalt fall upon the open fields, 00:02:19.00\00:02:21.49 thou shalt not be brought together, 00:02:21.50\00:02:22.85 nor gathered. 00:02:22.86\00:02:24.34 I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field 00:02:24.35\00:02:27.04 and to the fowls of the heaven. 00:02:27.05\00:02:29.08 And all the inhabitants of Egypt 00:02:29.09\00:02:30.63 shall know that I am the Lord, because they have been 00:02:30.64\00:02:33.14 a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 00:02:33.15\00:02:35.56 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, 00:02:37.24\00:02:39.90 thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder, 00:02:39.91\00:02:43.90 and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, 00:02:43.91\00:02:46.37 and madest all their loins to be at a stand. 00:02:46.38\00:02:50.12 Therefore thus saith the Lord God. 00:02:50.13\00:02:52.25 Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, 00:02:52.26\00:02:55.11 and cut off man and beast out of thee. 00:02:55.12\00:02:58.51 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste, 00:02:58.52\00:03:02.01 and they shall know that I am the Lord, 00:03:02.02\00:03:05.19 because he hath said, 00:03:05.20\00:03:06.79 The river is mine, and I have made it. 00:03:06.80\00:03:10.21 Behold, therefore I am against thee, 00:03:10.22\00:03:12.02 and against thy rivers, 00:03:12.03\00:03:13.68 and I will make the land of Egypt 00:03:13.69\00:03:15.06 utterly waste and desolate, 00:03:15.07\00:03:17.48 from the tower of Syene 00:03:17.49\00:03:19.58 even unto the border of Ethiopia. 00:03:19.59\00:03:22.27 No foot of man shall pass through it, 00:03:22.28\00:03:24.14 nor foot of beast shall pass through it, 00:03:24.15\00:03:25.98 neither shall it be inhabited forty years. 00:03:25.99\00:03:29.46 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate 00:03:29.47\00:03:31.34 in the midst of the countries that are desolate. 00:03:31.35\00:03:33.79 And her cities among the cities 00:03:33.80\00:03:35.58 that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years, 00:03:35.59\00:03:38.83 and I will scatter the Egyptians 00:03:38.84\00:03:40.41 among the nations, 00:03:40.42\00:03:41.41 and will disperse them through the countries. 00:03:41.42\00:03:44.57 Yet thus saith the Lord God, 00:03:44.58\00:03:46.36 at the end of forty years 00:03:46.37\00:03:47.65 will I gather the Egyptians from the people 00:03:47.66\00:03:50.44 whither they were scattered. 00:03:50.45\00:03:52.36 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, 00:03:52.37\00:03:54.54 and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, 00:03:54.55\00:03:58.44 into the land of their habitation, 00:03:58.45\00:04:00.04 and they shall be there a base kingdom. 00:04:00.05\00:04:02.60 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms, 00:04:02.61\00:04:05.09 neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations, 00:04:05.10\00:04:08.67 for I will diminish them, 00:04:08.68\00:04:10.85 that they shall no more rule over the nations. 00:04:10.86\00:04:14.62 And it shall be no more 00:04:14.63\00:04:15.68 the confidence of the house of Israel, 00:04:15.69\00:04:17.93 which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, 00:04:17.94\00:04:20.22 when they shall look after them. 00:04:20.23\00:04:22.51 But they shall know that I am the Lord God. 00:04:22.52\00:04:26.89 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, 00:04:26.90\00:04:30.05 in the first month, in the first day of the month. 00:04:30.06\00:04:33.34 The word of the Lord came unto me, 00:04:33.35\00:04:35.05 saying, Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 00:04:35.06\00:04:39.23 caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus. 00:04:39.24\00:04:44.85 Every head was made bald, 00:04:44.86\00:04:46.76 and every shoulder was peeled. 00:04:46.77\00:04:49.15 Yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, 00:04:49.16\00:04:52.86 for the service that he had served against it. 00:04:52.87\00:04:56.72 Therefore thus saith the Lord God. 00:04:56.73\00:04:59.39 Behold, I will give the land of Egypt 00:04:59.40\00:05:02.52 unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, 00:05:02.53\00:05:05.27 and he shall take her multitude, 00:05:05.28\00:05:06.98 and take her spoil, and take her prey, 00:05:06.99\00:05:10.02 and it shall be the wages for his army. 00:05:10.03\00:05:13.38 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour 00:05:13.39\00:05:16.26 wherewith he served against it, 00:05:16.27\00:05:17.58 because they wrought for me, saith the Lord God. 00:05:17.59\00:05:20.47 In that day will I cause 00:05:20.48\00:05:22.22 the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, 00:05:22.23\00:05:24.46 and I will give thee the opening of the mouth 00:05:24.47\00:05:26.55 in the midst of them. 00:05:26.56\00:05:28.05 And they shall know that I am the Lord. 00:05:28.06\00:05:32.92 Continuing in the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 30, 00:05:32.93\00:05:36.02 and this is the King James Version. 00:05:36.03\00:05:39.32 The word of the Lord came again unto me, 00:05:39.33\00:05:41.23 saying, Son of man, prophesy and say, 00:05:41.24\00:05:45.38 Thus saith the Lord God, Howl ye, Woe worth the day, 00:05:45.39\00:05:50.76 For the day is near, 00:05:50.77\00:05:51.76 even the day of the Lord is near, 00:05:51.77\00:05:53.44 a cloudy day, it shall be the time of the heathen. 00:05:53.45\00:05:57.50 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, 00:05:57.51\00:05:59.58 and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, 00:05:59.59\00:06:01.90 when the slain shall fall in Egypt, 00:06:01.91\00:06:04.47 and they shall take away her multitude, 00:06:04.48\00:06:06.76 and her foundations shall be broken down. 00:06:06.77\00:06:10.07 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, 00:06:10.08\00:06:13.40 and all the mingled people, and Chub, 00:06:13.41\00:06:16.82 and the men of the land that is in league, 00:06:16.83\00:06:19.27 shall fall with them by the sword. 00:06:19.28\00:06:22.14 Thus saith the Lord, 00:06:22.15\00:06:23.58 They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, 00:06:23.59\00:06:27.16 and the pride of her power shall come down, 00:06:27.17\00:06:30.27 from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it 00:06:30.28\00:06:33.05 by the sword, saith the Lord God. 00:06:33.06\00:06:35.17 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries 00:06:35.18\00:06:37.54 that are desolate, and her cities 00:06:37.55\00:06:39.53 shall be in the midst of the cities 00:06:39.54\00:06:41.45 that are wasted. 00:06:41.46\00:06:43.18 And they shall know that I am the Lord, 00:06:43.19\00:06:45.35 when I have set a fire in Egypt, 00:06:45.36\00:06:47.19 and when all her helpers shall be destroyed. 00:06:47.20\00:06:50.92 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships 00:06:50.93\00:06:54.84 to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, 00:06:54.85\00:06:58.30 and great pain shall come upon them, 00:06:58.31\00:07:00.94 as in the day of Egypt, for, lo, it cometh. 00:07:00.95\00:07:04.33 Thus saith the Lord God, 00:07:04.34\00:07:05.63 I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease 00:07:05.64\00:07:08.78 by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 00:07:08.79\00:07:10.35 king of Babylon. 00:07:10.36\00:07:11.86 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, 00:07:11.87\00:07:15.90 shall be brought to destroy the land, 00:07:15.91\00:07:18.82 and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, 00:07:18.83\00:07:21.62 and fill the land with the slain. 00:07:21.63\00:07:24.90 And I will make the rivers dry, 00:07:24.91\00:07:26.85 and sell the land into the hand of the wicked, 00:07:26.86\00:07:29.44 and I will make the land waste, 00:07:29.45\00:07:30.82 and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers, 00:07:30.83\00:07:35.13 I the Lord have spoken it. 00:07:35.14\00:07:37.83 Thus saith the Lord God, I will also destroy the idols, 00:07:37.84\00:07:41.73 and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph, 00:07:41.74\00:07:45.85 and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt, 00:07:45.86\00:07:49.46 and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. 00:07:49.47\00:07:52.54 And I will make Pathros desolate, 00:07:52.55\00:07:54.53 and will set fire in Zoan, 00:07:54.54\00:07:56.04 and will execute judgments in No. 00:07:56.05\00:07:59.12 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, 00:07:59.13\00:08:01.40 the strength of Egypt, 00:08:01.41\00:08:02.40 and I will cut off the multitude of No. 00:08:02.41\00:08:05.17 And I will set fire in Egypt, Sin shall have great pain, 00:08:05.18\00:08:08.88 and No shall be rent asunder, 00:08:08.89\00:08:10.48 and Noph shall have distresses daily. 00:08:10.49\00:08:13.54 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth 00:08:13.55\00:08:16.53 shall fall by the sword, 00:08:16.54\00:08:18.49 and these cities shall go into captivity. 00:08:18.50\00:08:22.05 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, 00:08:22.06\00:08:24.46 when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, 00:08:24.47\00:08:26.70 and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her, 00:08:26.71\00:08:30.19 as for her, a cloud shall cover her, 00:08:30.20\00:08:32.01 and her daughters shall go into captivity. 00:08:32.02\00:08:35.27 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt, 00:08:35.28\00:08:38.19 and they shall know that I am the Lord. 00:08:38.20\00:08:42.13 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, 00:08:42.14\00:08:44.03 in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, 00:08:44.04\00:08:46.96 that the word of the Lord came unto me, 00:08:46.97\00:08:48.40 saying, Son of man, 00:08:48.41\00:08:50.82 I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, 00:08:50.83\00:08:53.94 and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, 00:08:53.95\00:08:57.14 to put a roller to bind it, 00:08:57.15\00:08:58.88 to make it strong to hold the sword. 00:08:58.89\00:09:01.81 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 00:09:01.82\00:09:04.15 Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, 00:09:04.16\00:09:07.47 and will break his arms, the strong, 00:09:07.48\00:09:10.29 and that which was broken, 00:09:10.30\00:09:11.88 and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand. 00:09:11.89\00:09:16.07 And I will scatter the Egyptians 00:09:16.08\00:09:17.50 among the nations, 00:09:17.51\00:09:18.94 and will disperse them through the countries. 00:09:18.95\00:09:21.96 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, 00:09:21.97\00:09:24.73 and put my sword in his hand, 00:09:24.74\00:09:26.96 but I will break Pharaohs arms. 00:09:26.97\00:09:29.23 And he shall groan before him 00:09:29.24\00:09:31.13 with the groanings of a deadly wounded man. 00:09:31.14\00:09:35.03 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, 00:09:35.04\00:09:38.11 and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down, 00:09:38.12\00:09:41.04 and they shall know that I am the Lord, 00:09:41.05\00:09:43.40 when I shall put my sword 00:09:43.41\00:09:44.62 into the hand of the king of Babylon, 00:09:44.63\00:09:46.77 and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. 00:09:46.78\00:09:50.64 And I will scatter the Egyptians 00:09:50.65\00:09:51.98 among the nations, 00:09:51.99\00:09:53.50 and disperse them among the countries. 00:09:53.51\00:09:55.99 And they shall know that I am the Lord. 00:09:56.00\00:10:00.19 Continuing in the Book of Ezekiel, 00:10:00.20\00:10:02.04 Chapter 31, this is the King James Version. 00:10:02.05\00:10:04.45 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, 00:10:05.74\00:10:08.58 in the third month, in the first day of the month, 00:10:08.59\00:10:11.99 that the word of the Lord came unto me, 00:10:12.00\00:10:14.22 saying, Son of man, 00:10:14.23\00:10:16.06 speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, 00:10:16.07\00:10:17.74 and to his multitude, 00:10:17.75\00:10:19.93 Whom art thou like in thy greatness? 00:10:19.94\00:10:23.49 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon 00:10:23.50\00:10:26.89 with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, 00:10:26.90\00:10:30.01 and of an high stature, 00:10:30.02\00:10:31.90 and his top was among the thick boughs. 00:10:31.91\00:10:34.74 The waters made him great, 00:10:34.75\00:10:36.67 the deep set him up on high 00:10:36.68\00:10:38.56 with her rivers running round about his plants, 00:10:38.57\00:10:41.11 and sent her little rivers 00:10:41.12\00:10:42.85 unto all the trees of the field. 00:10:42.86\00:10:45.08 Therefore his height was exalted 00:10:45.09\00:10:46.67 above all the trees of the field, 00:10:46.68\00:10:48.36 and his boughs were multiplied, 00:10:48.37\00:10:49.63 and his branches became long 00:10:49.64\00:10:51.69 because of the multitude of waters, 00:10:51.70\00:10:53.57 when he shot forth. 00:10:53.58\00:10:55.47 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, 00:10:55.48\00:10:58.88 and under his branches did all the beasts of the field 00:10:58.89\00:11:01.92 bring forth their young, 00:11:01.93\00:11:02.93 and under his shadow dwelt all great nations. 00:11:02.94\00:11:07.00 Thus was he fair in his greatness, 00:11:07.01\00:11:09.10 in the length of his branches, 00:11:09.11\00:11:11.04 for his root was by great waters. 00:11:11.05\00:11:13.85 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him, 00:11:13.86\00:11:17.65 the fir trees were not like his boughs, 00:11:17.66\00:11:19.58 and the chestnut trees were not like his branches, 00:11:19.59\00:11:22.46 nor any tree in the garden of God 00:11:22.47\00:11:24.16 was like unto him in his beauty. 00:11:24.17\00:11:27.29 I have made him fair 00:11:27.30\00:11:28.48 by the multitude of his branches, 00:11:28.49\00:11:30.48 so that all the trees of Eden, 00:11:30.49\00:11:32.69 that were in the garden of God, envied him. 00:11:32.70\00:11:37.00 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 00:11:37.01\00:11:39.24 Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, 00:11:39.25\00:11:44.02 and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, 00:11:44.03\00:11:46.57 and his heart is lifted up in his height, 00:11:46.58\00:11:50.31 I have therefore delivered him 00:11:50.32\00:11:51.96 into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen. 00:11:51.97\00:11:55.17 He shall surely deal with him, 00:11:55.18\00:11:57.49 I have driven him out for his wickedness. 00:11:57.50\00:12:00.73 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, 00:12:00.74\00:12:03.11 have cut him off, and have left him, 00:12:03.12\00:12:05.63 upon the mountains and in all the valleys 00:12:05.64\00:12:08.23 his branches are fallen, 00:12:08.24\00:12:09.44 and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land, 00:12:09.45\00:12:13.06 and all the people of the earth are gone down 00:12:13.07\00:12:15.26 down from his shadow, and have left him. 00:12:15.27\00:12:17.80 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls 00:12:17.81\00:12:20.14 of the heaven remain, 00:12:20.15\00:12:21.71 and all the beasts of the field 00:12:21.72\00:12:23.60 shall be upon his branches. 00:12:23.61\00:12:25.85 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters 00:12:25.86\00:12:28.75 exalt themselves for their height, 00:12:28.76\00:12:30.75 neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, 00:12:30.76\00:12:33.49 neither their trees stand up in their height, 00:12:33.50\00:12:36.34 all that drink water, 00:12:36.35\00:12:38.13 for they are all delivered unto death, 00:12:38.14\00:12:40.57 to the nether parts of the earth, 00:12:40.58\00:12:42.59 in the midst of the children of men, 00:12:42.60\00:12:44.76 with them that go down to the pit. 00:12:44.77\00:12:48.05 Thus saith the Lord God, 00:12:48.06\00:12:49.74 In the day when he went down to the grave 00:12:49.75\00:12:51.91 I caused a mourning, I covered the deep for him, 00:12:51.92\00:12:55.32 and I restrained the floods thereof, 00:12:55.33\00:12:57.44 and the great waters were stayed, 00:12:57.45\00:12:59.57 and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, 00:12:59.58\00:13:01.94 and all the trees of the field fainted for him. 00:13:01.95\00:13:06.16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, 00:13:06.17\00:13:09.81 when I cast him down to hell with them 00:13:09.82\00:13:12.23 that descend into the pit, and all the trees of Eden, 00:13:12.24\00:13:15.92 the choice and best of Lebanon, 00:13:15.93\00:13:18.64 all that drink water, shall be comforted 00:13:18.65\00:13:21.09 in the nether parts of the earth. 00:13:21.10\00:13:23.38 They also went down into hell with him 00:13:23.39\00:13:25.90 unto them that be slain with the sword, 00:13:25.91\00:13:28.12 and they that were his arm, 00:13:28.13\00:13:29.90 that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen. 00:13:29.91\00:13:34.48 To whom art thou thus like in glory 00:13:34.49\00:13:37.81 and in greatness among the trees of Eden? 00:13:37.82\00:13:41.12 Yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden 00:13:41.13\00:13:43.67 unto the nether parts of the earth, 00:13:43.68\00:13:45.77 thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised 00:13:45.78\00:13:48.65 with them that be slain by the sword. 00:13:48.66\00:13:51.24 This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, 00:13:51.25\00:13:54.68 saith the Lord God. 00:13:54.69\00:13:57.28 Continuing in Ezekiel, Chapter 32, 00:13:57.29\00:14:00.86 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, 00:14:00.87\00:14:03.46 in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, 00:14:03.47\00:14:06.22 that the word of the Lord came unto me, 00:14:06.23\00:14:08.06 saying, Son of man, 00:14:08.07\00:14:09.33 take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, 00:14:09.34\00:14:11.89 and say unto him, Thou art like 00:14:11.90\00:14:14.14 a young lion of the nations, 00:14:14.15\00:14:16.46 and thou art as a whale in the seas, 00:14:16.47\00:14:18.88 and thou camest forth with thy rivers, 00:14:18.89\00:14:20.78 and troubledst the waters with thy feet, 00:14:20.79\00:14:23.24 and fouledst their rivers. 00:14:23.25\00:14:25.55 Thus saith the Lord God, 00:14:25.56\00:14:27.52 I will therefore spread out my net over thee 00:14:27.53\00:14:30.96 with a company of many people, 00:14:30.97\00:14:33.75 and they shall bring thee up in my net. 00:14:33.76\00:14:37.23
