The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-3

A cloudy day. As in the case of Tyre, the denunciation of Divine Judgments against Egypt is succeeded by a lamentation for the doleful results of those judgments. Pity follows wrath. The terrible condition that fills the prophet's mind with dismay is full of more pressing warning when it is such as to excite the deepest commiseration. The advent of Divine chastisement is always a cloudy day. I. PROGNOSTICATIONS OF A CLOUDY DAY . The dreadful day has not yet come; but the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-3

The day of the Lord. There is in this expression, which occurs in various parts of this book of prophecy, a certain vagueness which is not inconsistent with grandeur and sublimity. The prophet's own mind was evidently impressed with the fact that, whilst every day is an occasion for the manifestation of the Divine presence among men, there are days which are peculiarly the Lord's, because connected in an especial manner with the purposes of the Eternal with regard to the sons of time. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-7

The day of desolation. To what extent we are to take the prophet's description of the "woe" that was to overtake Egypt in a strictly external sense must (as said before on Ezekiel 29:16 ) depend on our principle of biblical interpretation, together with our reading of ancient history. For the purpose of religious edification it is enough that we accept these words as a picture of the desolation to which a course of guilt, whether national or individual, may be expected to lead. I. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-19

The Lord's day in Egypt. The Lord's day is the day in which God comes nearest to men and manifests himself. Whether he will come as our Friend or as our Foe depends on our state of mind towards him. He has not abandoned the race of men. They are on trial, undergoing discipline. Now and again he comes near, either in his radiant robes of grace or in solemn aspect as an impartial Judge. Even when he approaches nations in the latter character, he gives premonitions of his coming, and this is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:2

Howl ye . The words read like an echo of Isaiah 13:6 , and find a parallel also in Joel 1:11 , Joel 1:13 ; Zephaniah 1:7 , Zephaniah 1:14 . Woe worth the day! It may be well to note that the familiar phrase is a survival of the Anglo-Saxon verb weorthan (German werden ), "to become," so that its exact meaning is "Woe be to the day"" read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:3

The day of the Lord . Here, as everywhere (see note on Ezekiel 13:5 ), the words stand for any time in which the Divine judgments manifest themselves in the world's history. Of it Ezekiel says, following in the footsteps of Joel ( Joel 2:2 ), that it shall be a day of cloud , i.e. of darkness and trouble; a day of the heathen , i.e. a time in which the heathen who had exulted in the punishment of Israel should know that the Lord was their Judge also, that he had his "day"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:4

Great pain shall be in Ethiopia . The words point to the extension of the invasion of Egypt—by Nebuchadnezzar in the first instance, and afterwards by other conquerors—to the upper valley of the Nile. They shall take away her multitude . The word is taken by Keil, Smend, and others of things rather than persons, the multitude of possessions. Hengstenberg renders "tumult" in the sense of the stir of a crowded city. The foundations are probably to be taken figuratively of the bases of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:4-6

Associated calamities. I. TROUBLE SPREADS . 1. In the individual . The first mischief in Egypt comes from the sword of the invader; but this is quickly followed by other ills. After Nebuchadnezzar's invasion the "abundance" is taken away, and the "foundations" are broken down. 2. Among communities of men . Cush follows the fate of Egypt, and other nations also fall under the wide sweep of judgment. We are members one of another, and when one member suffers all the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:5

Libya . Here the Authorized Version gives (rightly enough, though inconsistently) the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew Phut, which is reproduced in the Revised Version. The Lydians , in like manner, stand for Lud; but we have to remember, as before ( Ezekiel 27:10 ), that they are the African, and not the Asiatic, people of that name. In Jeremiah 46:9 the two nations are named among the auxiliaries of Egypt. Possibly the similarity of name may have led to the term being used also for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:5-8

The fate of the allies. Egypt was not alone in her forgetfulness of the principles of righteousness, in her defiance of God; and she was not alone in her chastisement and desolation. She had allies, who were included by the prophet in the denunciation he was directed to utter against Pharaoh and his people. I. POLITICAL AND NATIONAL ALLIANCES ARE OFTEN BASED UPON INTEREST RATHER THAN UPON MORAL PRINCIPLES . The weak seek the support of the strong; the strong... read more
