I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: Ezekiel 29 begins four chapters of prophecies against Egypt. Egypt, says the LORD, (though it was like the great dragon in the midst of the rivers), would be removed along with its fish and given to the beasts and birds to eat. The whole land, North to South "from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia" - v. 10), would be made desolate for forty years and its inhabitants would go into captivity. They would be brought back after that time, but they would be a base and wasted kingdom. Nebuchadrezzar would begin this destruction and plunder. For him, Egypt would be a reward from the Lord since he had served the LORD by his siege of Tyre but gained little from his conquest. The inhabitants of Tyre had fled in ships with their treasures before Nebuchadrezzar took their city. In the words of Albert Barnes' Commentary: "The ravages of Nebuchadnezzar ere the beginning of the end, and all the desolation which followed may be looked upon as a continuous fulfillment of God's decree. The savage fury with which Cambyses swept over Egypt amply realized all that Ezekiel foretold. Many places recovered some wealth and prosperity, but from the time of Herodotus the kingdom never again became really independent. Egyptian rulers gave place to Persian, Persian to the successors of Alexander the Great, who gave place in turn to Rome. So thoroughly was the prophecy of Ezekiel fulfilled: Ezekiel 29:14-15."

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
