John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 30:1-26

§ 3. Egypt (Ezekiel 29-32)The most of this series of prophecies against Egypt are connected with dates during the siege of Jerusalem, the time when Ezekiel was silent as a prophet of Israel. They were therefore probably written rather than spoken. Ezekiel 32:0 is dated in the year after the fall of Jerusalem, and Eze 29:17-21 belongs to a much later time. In chronological order the series includes (1) the destruction of the crocodile (Eze 29:1-16), (2) the invasion of Egypt by Nebuchadrezzar... read more

Ezekiel 30:6 The last historian of the Jesuit Order, the one who brought down their own history of themselves to about 1652, since when it has not been continued lived to see the suppression of the order in 1773. He has left us his opinion as to why they were put down, why the Almighty allowed so useful a society to be extinguished; and he comes to the conclusion that it is on account of their pride. 'We have been inordinately proud,' he confesses; 'we have set ourselves above everything, every... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-26

EGYPTEzekiel 29:1-21; Ezekiel 30:1-26; Ezekiel 31:1-18; Ezekiel 32:1-32EGYPT figures in the prophecies of Ezekiel as a great world-power cherishing projects of universal dominion. Once more, as in the age of Isaiah, the ruling factor in Asiatic politics was the duel for the mastery of the world between the rival empires of the Nile and the Euphrates. The influence of Egypt was perhaps even greater in the beginning of the sixth century than it had been in the end of the eighth, although in the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 30:1-26

Ezekiel 29-30. First Egypt’s desolation is announced (Ezekiel 29:1-12 ). The king of Egypt addressed in this prophecy was Pharaoh-Hophra, called in Greek, Apries. He was the grandson of Pharaoh-Necho, who defeated King Josiah at Meggido 2 Chronicles 35:20-27 . King Zedekiah of Judah expected help and relief from Pharaoh-Hophra, when Jerusalem was besieged. The Egyptian army under Hophra advanced through Phoenicia and forced the Chaldeans to raise the siege of Jerusalem Jeremiah 37:5-21 . But... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-26

JUDGMENTS ON GENTILE NATIONS The prophet’s “dumbness” enjoined in the last chapter, was only towards his own people, and the interval was employed in messages touching the Gentiles. These nations might have many charges laid against them, but that which concerned a prophet of Israel chiefly was their treatment of that nation see this borne out by the text. Their ruin was to be utter in the end, while that of Israel was but temporary (Jeremiah 46:28 ). Seven nations are denounced, “the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 30:6-19

The Lord's anger will be excited against all that come to the help of Egypt; for this is rebellion against the Lord. Reader! it is an awful thing to be found fighting against God. When good King Josiah went up to Megiddo to battle in an unjust cause, though admonished to the contrary, he was punished with death. See 2 Chronicles 35:20 to the end. In a spiritual sense, to be found opposing the Lord in his gospel, what an alarming thing! read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 30:1-19

1-19 The prophecy of the destruction of Egypt is very full. Those who take their lot with God's enemies, shall be with them in punishment. The king of Babylon and his army shall be instruments of this destruction. God often makes one wicked man a scourge to another. No place in the land of Egypt shall escape the fury of the Chaldeans. The Lord is known by the judgments he executes. Yet these are only present effects of the Divine displeasure, not worthy of our fear, compared with the wrath to... read more

The Sentence Carried Out v. 10. Thus saith the Lord God, I will also make the multitude of Egypt, the large population of the country, with all the wealth possessed by them, to cease by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who would, in every way, put an end to the prosperity of the country. v. 11. He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, for the Chaldean soldiers were known for the fierceness of their fighting, shall be brought to destroy the land, that being the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 30:1-26

CHAPTER 301And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, 2Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Howl! alas 3for the day! For near is the day, and [indeed] near is the day of Jehovah, a day of cloud; a time of the heathen nations shall it be. 4And the sword comes into Egypt, and there is anguish in Cush at the fall of the pierced-through in Egypt; and they take 5his tumult, and his foundations are pulled down. Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the strange people, and Kub, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 30:1-26

The third prophecy described the process by which Nebuchadnezzar would accomplish the purpose of Jehovah. It opens with an introductory word announcing the nearness of the day of the Lord, and foretelling the anguish which would fall on all the peoples in the hour of Egypt's overthrow. This anguish would be caused by the fact that all who had helped her would be made desolate, thus sharing in her judgment. As for Egypt itself, the stroke of Jehovah would fall on the land, whose rivers would be... read more
