Nancy: Welcome to immerse: the
daily bible reading experience.
day 200 and 75
this is another message that came to me
from the Lord Son of Man prophesy and
give this message from the sovereign Lord.
Weep and wail for that day.
For the terrible day is almost
here the day of the Lord.
It is the day of clouds and gloom.
A day of despair for the nations.
A sword will come against Egypt and those
who are slaughtered will cover the ground.
Its wealth will be carried away
and its foundations destroyed.
The land of Ethiopia will be
ravished, Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia,
all Arabia and all their other
allies will be destroyed in that war.
For this is what the Lord says,
all of Egypt's allies will fall and
the pride of her power will end.
From Migdal to Aswan, they
will be slaughtered by the
sword, says the sovereign Lord.
Egypt will be desolate, surrounded by
desolate nations and its cities will be
in ruins surrounded by other ruin cities.
And the people of Egypt will know that
I am the Lord when I have said Egypt
on fire and destroyed all their allies.
At that time, I will send swift
messengers and chips to terrify
the complacent Ethiopians.
Great panic will come upon them on that
day of Egypt's certain destruction.
Watch for it.
It is sure to come for this is
what the sovereign Lord says.
By the power of King
Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, I
will destroy the hordes of Egypt.
He and his armies the most ruthless of
all, will be sent to demolish the land.
They will make war against Egypt until
slaughtered Egyptians cover the ground.
I will dry up the Nile River
and sell the land to wicked men.
I will destroy the land of
Egypt and everything in it
by the hands of foreigners.
I the Lord have spoken.
This is what the sovereign Lord says.
I will smash the idols of Egypt
and the images at Memphis.
There will be no rulers left in Egypt.
Terror will sweep the land.
I will destroy Southern Egypt.
Set fire to Z and bring
judgment against thieves.
I will pour out my fury on Lucian,
the strongest fortress of Egypt, and I
will stamp out the hoards of thieves.
Yes, I will set fire to all Egypt.
Lucian will be racked with pain.
Thieves will be torn apart.
Memphis will live in constant terror.
The young men of Heliopolis and
view Basti will die in battle.
The women will be taken away as slaves.
When I come to break the proud
strength of Egypt, it'll be a
dark day for Tappen Hasz too.
A dark cloud will cover Tappen
Hasz, and its daughters will
be led away as captives.
And so I will greatly punish Egypt,
and they will know that I am the Lord.
On April 29th, during the 11th year
of King Je Hoya Kins captivity, this
message came to me from the Lord.
Son of man, I have broken the arm
of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.
His arm has not been put in
a cast so that it may heal.
Neither has it been bound up with a splint
to make it strong enough to hold a sword.
Therefore, this is what
the sovereign Lord says.
I am the enemy of Pharaoh,
the king of Egypt.
I will break both of his arms, the good
arm along with the broken one, and I will
make his sword clatter to the ground.
I will scatter the Egyptians to
many lands throughout the world.
I will strengthen the arms of Babylon's
King and put my sword in his hand,
but I will break the arms of Pharaoh,
king of Egypt, and he will lie there.
Mortally wounded, groaning in pain.
I will strengthen the arms of the
King of Babylon while the arms of
Pharaoh fall useless to his sides.
And when I put my sword in
the hand of Babylon's King.
And he brings it against
the land of Egypt.
Egypt will know that I am the Lord.
I will scatter the Egyptians
among the nations, dispersing
them throughout the earth.
Then they will know that I am the Lord.
On June 21st, during the 11th year of
King Je Hoya Kin's captivity, this message
came to me from the Lord, son of man.
Give this message to Pharaoh,
king of Egypt and all his hodes.
To whom would you compare your greatness?
You are like mighty Assyria, which
was once like a cedar of Lebanon with
beautiful branches that cast deep forest
shade and with its top high among the
clouds, deep springs watered it and
helped it to grow tall and luxuriant.
The water flowed around it like a river
streaming to all the trees nearby.
This great tree towered high, higher
than all the other trees around it.
It prospered and grew long, thick branches
because of all the water at its roots.
The birds nested in its
branches and in its shade.
All the wild animals gave birth.
All the great nations of the
world lived in its shadow.
It was strong and beautiful
with wide spreading branches.
For its roots went deep
into abundant water.
No other cedar in the garden
of God could rival it.
No cypress had branches to equal it.
No plane tree had bows to compare.
No tree in the garden of God came
close to it in beauty because I
made this tree so beautiful and
gave it such magnificent foliage.
It was the envy of all the other
trees of Eden, the garden of God.
Therefore, this is what
the sovereign Lord says.
Because Egypt became proud and
arrogant, and because it set itself
so high above the others, with its top
reaching to the clouds, I will hand
it over to a mighty nation that will
destroy it as its wickedness deserves.
I have already discarded
it, a foreign army.
The terror of the nations has cut it
down and left it fallen on the ground.
Its branches are scattered
across the mountains and
valleys and ravines of the land.
All those who lived in its shadow have
gone away and left it lying there.
The birds roost on its fallen trunk and
the wild animals lie among its branches.
Let the tree of no other nation
proudly exalt in its own prosperity,
though it'd be higher than the clouds
and it'd be watered from the depths.
For all are doomed to die, to go down to
the depths of the earth, they will land in
the pit along with everyone else on earth.
This is what the sovereign Lord says.
When Assyria went down to the grave,
I made the deep springs mourn.
I stopped its rivers and
dried up its abundant water.
I clothed Lebanon in black and caused
the trees of the field to wilt.
I made the nation's shake with fear
at the sound of its fall for I sent it
down to the grave with all the others
who descend to the pit and all the
other proud trees of Eden, the most
beautiful and the best of Lebanon.
The ones whose roots went deep into the
water, took comfort to find it there
with them, and the depths of the earth.
Its allies too were all
destroyed and had passed away.
If they had gone down to the grave, all
those nations that had lived in its shade,
oh, Egypt, to which of the trees of Eden
will you compare your strength and glory?
You too will be brought down to the
depths with all these other nations.
You will lie there among the
outcasts who have died by the sword.
This will be the fate of
Pharaoh and all his hordes.
I the sovereign Lord, have spoken.
On March 3rd during the 12th year of
King Jo Hoya Kin's Captivity, this
message came to me from the Lord Son
of man mourn for Pharaoh, king of
Egypt, and give him this message.
You think of yourself as a strong
young lion among the nations, but
you are really just a sea monster
heaving around in your own rivers,
stirring up mud with your feet.
Therefore, this is what
the sovereign Lord says.
I will send many people to catch you in
my net and haul you out of the water.
I will leave you stranded
on the land to die.
All the birds of the heavens will land
on you and the wild animals of the whole
earth will gorge themselves on you.
I will scatter your flesh on the hills
and fill the valleys with your bones.
I will drench the earth with your gushing
blood all the way to the mountains.
Filling the ravines to the brimm.
When I blot you out, I will veil
the heavens and darken the stars.
I will cover the sun with a cloud, and
the moon will not give you its light.
I will darken the bright stars overhead
and cover your land and darkness.
I the sovereign Lord, have spoken.
I will disturb many hearts when I bring
news of your downfall to distant nations.
You have never seen.
Yes, I will shock many lands and their
kings will be terrified at your fate.
They will shudder in fear for their
lives as I brandish my sword before them.
On the day of your fall.
For this is what the Sovereign
Lord says, the sword of the king
of Babylon will come against you.
I will destroy your hoards.
With the swords of mighty warriors,
the terror of the nations, they
will shatter the pride of Egypt.
All its hoards will be destroyed.
I will destroy all your fluxx and
herds that graze beside the streams.
Never again will people or animals
muddy those waters with their feet.
Then I will let the waters of Egypt become
calm again, and they will flow as smoothly
as olive oil says the sovereign Lord.
When I destroy Egypt and strip
you of everything you own and
strike down all your people, then
you will know that I am the Lord.
Yes, this is the funeral song.
They will sing for Egypt.
Let all the nations mourn, let them
mourn for Egypt and its hordes.
I, the sovereign Lord, have spoken.
On March 17th, during the 12th year,
another message came to me from the Lord
Son of Man weep for the hordes of Egypt
and for the other mighty nations, for I
will send them down to the world below.
In company with those who descend to
the pit, say to them, oh, Egypt, are
you lovelier than the other nations?
No.
So go down to the pit and
lie there among the outcasts.
The Egyptians will fall with the
many who have died by the sword.
For the sword is drawn against them.
Egypt and its hordes will be
dragged away to their judgment.
Down in the grave, mighty leaders
will mockingly welcome Egypt and its
allies saying they have come down.
They lie among the outcasts,
hordes, slaughtered by the sword,
Assyria lies there surrounded
by the graves of its army.
Those who were slaughtered by the sword.
Their graves are in the depths of the pit,
and they are surrounded by their allies.
They struck terror in the hearts
of people everywhere, but now they
have been slaughtered by the sword.
Elam lies there surrounded by
the graves of all its hodes.
Those who were slaughtered by
the sword, they struck terror in
the hearts of people everywhere.
But now they have descended as
outcasts to the world below.
Now they lie in the pit and share the
shame of those who have gone before them.
They have a resting place among
the slaughtered, surrounded by
the graves of all their hoards.
Yes, they terrorized the nations while
they lived, but now they lie in shame
with others and the pit, all of them
outcasts slaughtered by the sword,
mishek and tubal are there surrounded
by the graves of all their hoards.
They once struck terror in the hearts
of people everywhere, but now they are
outcasts all slaughtered by the sword.
They're not buried in honor like
their fallen heroes who went down to
the grave with their weapons, their
shields covering their bodies and
their swords beneath their heads.
Their guilt rests upon them because
they brought terror to everyone
while they were still alive.
You too, Egypt will lie crushed
and broken among the outcasts,
all slaughtered by the sword.
Edam is there with its kings
and princes mighty as they were.
They also lie among those slaughtered
by the sword, with the outcasts
who have gone down to the pit.
All the princes of the North and
the Ians are there with others
who have died once a terror.
They have been put to shame.
They lie there as outcasts with others
who were slaughtered by the sword.
They share the shame of all
who have descended to the pit.
When Pharaoh and his entire army arrive,
he will take comfort that he is not
alone in having his hoards killed.
Says the sovereign Lord.
Although I have caused his terror to
fall upon all the living Pharaoh and
his hordes will lie there among the
outcasts who were slaughtered by the
sword I, the sovereign Lord, have spoken.
