11<\/strong>. It is the king of Babylon who shall execute the Lord’s judgment upon Egypt.<\/p>\n See Eze 30:24<\/span>,25<\/span>. <\/P> Upon thee; <\/B>both king and kingdom of Egypt. <\/P> <\/p>\n For thus saith the Lord God, the sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.<\/strong> Upon Pharaoh and his kingdom; having a commission and a direction from the Lord, and which would be the instrument of the destruction before threatened. The Targum is,<\/p>\n “those that slay with the sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon or against thee;”<\/p>\n his army, sword in hand.<\/p>\n 11-15<\/strong>. <\/strong> It is now plainly stated that Nebuchadnezzar and the terrible Chaldeans shall work this destruction. (Compare Eze 28:7<\/span>; Eze 29:11<\/span>; Eze 29:19<\/span>.) The waters shall now be “clear” (R.V.), and smooth as oil, no longer fouled (R.V., “troubled”) by the struggling crocodile (Eze 32:2<\/span>), for all life shall be destroyed; then shall the Egyptians know who Jehovah is. (Compare Eze 30:26<\/span>.)<\/p>\n ‘For thus says the Lord Yahweh, “The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you. By the swords of the mighty will I cause your mass of people to fall. They are all the terrible of the nations, and they will spoil the pride of Egypt, and all its mass of people will be destroyed. I will also destroy its beasts from beside many waters, nor will the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hooves of beasts trouble them. Then I will make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil,” says the Lord Yahweh.’<\/p>\n The full significance of what has gone before is now brought home. All this will occur through the swords of the king of Babylon and his hosts. For they are Yahweh’s sword. He holds them in His hand. And there will be massive destruction of both men and beast. Irrigation (carried out by foot of man and beast through their irrigation equipment) will cease. Nor will the waters be muddied by other activity of man and beast, for the population will be decimated. Thus the rivers and streams will run clear, and smoothly like oil.<\/p>\n While we do not know the details the invasion by Nebuchadnezzar would be resisted to the hilt. The Egyptians were fighting for their own land, and they had been a constant pain in his side. Neither would give up easily. We need not doubt that it would result in destruction on a large scale, similar to that in Judah but greater, as Egypt was itself far larger and more populated than Judah. And Egypt would have itself been suffering from civil war.<\/p>\n Note the repetition again of the words ‘says the Lord Yahweh’. The stress is on the fact that all comes about at His word.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Eze 32:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Ver. 11. The sword of the King of Babylon.<\/strong> ] Here is that delivered plainly which was before parabolically.<\/p>\n NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Eze 32:11-16<\/p>\n 11For thus says the Lord GOD, The sword of the king of Babylon will come upon you. 12By the swords of the mighty ones I will cause your hordes to fall; all of them are tyrants of the nations,<\/p>\n And they will devastate the pride of Egypt,<\/p>\n And all its hordes will be destroyed.<\/p>\n 13I will also destroy all its cattle from beside many waters;<\/p>\n And the foot of man will not muddy them anymore<\/p>\n And the hoofs of beasts will not muddy them.<\/p>\n 14Then I will make their waters settle<\/p>\n And will cause their rivers to run like oil,<\/p>\n Declares the Lord GOD.<\/p>\n 15When I make the land of Egypt a desolation,<\/p>\n And the land is destitute of that which filled it,<\/p>\n When I smite all those who live in it,<\/p>\n Then they shall know that I am the LORD.<\/p>\n 16This is a lamentation and they shall chant it. The daughters of the nations shall chant it. Over Egypt and over all her hordes they shall chant it, declares the Lord GOD.<\/p>\n Eze 32:11 Nebuchadnezzar II was YHWH’s instrument of judgment (cf. Eze 21:19), as Assyria had been (cf. Isa 10:5).<\/p>\n Eze 32:13 This could be another way of depreciating the gods of Egypt, as were the ten plagues in the Exodus.<\/p>\n Eze 32:14 The waters of Egypt will be undisturbed (clear and settled) by any animal or human. No one will be left alive. This metaphor for total destruction is found only here.<\/p>\n Eze 32:16 The professional wailers and mourners would be from all the nations.<\/p>\n 1. those who were helped and protected by Egypt (Eze 32:18)<\/p>\n 2. those who were cruelly treated by Egypt<\/p>\n Eze 32:11-16<\/p>\n Eze 32:11-16<\/p>\n “For thus saith the Lord Jehovah; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall bring to naught the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them. Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Jehovah, When I shall make the land desolate and waste, a land destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Jehovah. This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament: the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, saith the Lord Jehovah.”<\/p>\n “The divine judgment against Egypt will take the form of Babylonian invasion, slaughter and captivity. The Nile will flow quiet and clear, untouched henceforth by man or beast,<\/p>\n “I will destroy all the beasts thereof …” (Eze 32:15). This was always an inevitable consequence of any invasion by a hostile foreign power. All animals were slaughtered wholesale to provide food for the invading soldiers, as well as to deprive the inhabitants. General Sherman did the same thing in his march to the sea, during the Civil War.<\/p>\n “Their rivers to run like oil …” (Eze 32:14) This is the only instance of the use of this particular metaphor in the Bible. “These `rivers of oil’ were symbols of ethical blessedness (Job 29:6 and Deu 32:13).” Keil applied this to the righteous rule of Nebuchadnezzar; but Plumptre believed there are echoes of the future Messianic kingdom in the passage.<\/p>\n “The rivers of oil here are not rivers that flow quietly like oil, but rivers which contain oil and not water; they are symbolical of the rich blessings of God. It should be noted that the great blessing to come to Egypt in future times is that they shall know that Jehovah is indeed God, and that there is none else beside him (Eze 32:15).<\/p>\n The sword: Eze 26:7, Eze 30:4, Eze 30:22-25, Jer 43:10, Jer 46:13, Jer 46:24-26 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jer 46:26 – I will Eze 30:10 – I will Eze 31:11 – the mighty<\/p>\n Eze 32:11, The sword of the king of Babylon will be what Pharaoh will see, but it will also be the Lords sword since He will be using that king as <\/p>\n an instrument to execute the divine decree against the nation deserving the chastisement.<\/p>\n The Lord promised to send the military power of Babylon against Egypt. The swords of these rapacious invaders would destroy the multitude of Egyptians and devastate their land.<\/p>\n For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. 11.
