00:00:13.889 --> 00:00:17.039 Give the Ammonites this message from the sovereign Lord. 00:00:17.759 --> 00:00:22.469 Hear the word of the sovereign Lord, because you cheered when my temple was 00:00:22.469 --> 00:00:25.559 defiled, mocked Israel in her desolation. 00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.279 Laughed at Judah as she went away into exile. 00:00:30.119 --> 00:00:34.139 I will allow nomads

nations. 00:01:49.004 --> 00:01:52.634 In the same way, I will bring my judgment down on the Moabites. 00:01:53.114 --> 00:01:55.754 Then they will know that I am the Lord. 00:01:57.134 --> 00:01:59.234 This is what the sovereign Lord says. 00:01:59.924 --> 00:02:03.854 The people of Edem have sinned greatly by avenging themselves against the 00:02:03.854 --> 00:02:08.264 people of Judah, therefore says the sovereign Lord, I will raise 00:02:08.264 --> 00:02:10.394 my fist of judgment against edem. 00:02:10.964 --> 00:02:14.324 I will wipe out its people and animals with the

revenge and longstanding contempt. 00:02:43.349 --> 00:02:45.749 Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says. 00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:50.069 I will raise my fist of judgment against the land of the Philistines. 00:02:50.789 --> 00:02:55.649 I will wipe out the CARite and utterly destroy the people who live by the sea. 00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:00.029 I will execute terrible vengeance against them to punish 00:03:00.029 --> 00:03:01.349 them for what they have done. 00:03:02.019 --> 00:03:07.109 And when I have inflicted my revenge, they will know that I am the Lord. 00:03:08.729 --> 00:03:13.049 On February 3rd during the 12th year of King Je Hoya Kin's captivity, 00:03:13.739 --> 00:03:19.739 this message came to me from the Lord Son of Man Tire has rejoiced over 00:03:19.739

the sea, a place for fishermen to spread their nets for. 00:04:02.009 --> 00:04:04.229 I have spoken, says the sovereign Lord. 00:04:04.934 --> 00:04:09.284 Tire will become the prey of many nations

pale, 00:14:19.904 --> 00:14:27.464 green, parado, white moonstone, bluegreen barrel, onyx, green, jasper, blue, 00:14:27.464 --> 00:14:30.644 lapis, lly, turquoise and emerald. 00:14:31.484 --> 00:14:36.464 All beautifully crafted for you and sat on the finest gold they were given 00:14:36.464 --> 00:14:38.234 to you on the day you were created. 00:14:38.924 --> 00:14:42.854 I ordained and anointed you as the mighty angelic guardian. 00:14:43.739 --> 00:14:49.079 You had access to the Holy Mountain of God and walked among the stones of fire. 00:14:50.069 --> 00:14:54.059 You were blameless in all you did from the day you were created until 00:14:54.059 --> 00:14:55.949 the day evil was found in you. 00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.479 Your rich commerce led you to violence and you sinned. 00:15:00.859 --> 00:15:04.709 So I banished you in disgrace from the mountain of God. 00:15:05.369 --> 00:15:10.379 I expelled you, almighty guardian from your place among the stones of fire. 00:15:11.474 --> 00:15:14.864 Your heart was filled with pride because of all your beauty. 00:15:15.734 --> 00:15:19.454 Your wisdom was corrupted by your love of splendor. 00:15:20.294 --> 00:15:25.364 So I threw you to the ground and exposed you to the curious gaze of kings. 00:15:26.324 --> 00:15:30.854 You defiled your sanctuaries with your many sins and your dishonest trade. 00:15:31.604 --> 00:15:35.324 So I brought fire out from within you and it consumed you. 00:15:35.924 --> 00:15:38.264 I reduced you to ashes on the ground. 00:15:38.729 --> 00:15:44.219 In the sight of all who were watching, all who knew, you are appalled at your fate. 00:15:45.299 --> 00:15:49.559 You have come to a terrible end and you will exist no more. 00:15:51.119 --> 00:15:55.949 Then another message came to me from the Lord, son of man, turn and face the 00:15:55.949 --> 00:15:58.499 city of seiden and prophesy against it. 00:15:59.129 --> 00:16:02.189 Give the people of sadden this message from the sovereign Lord. 00:16:03.749 --> 00:16:08.639 I am your enemy OC Sidon, and I will reveal my glory by what I do to you 00:16:09.389 --> 00:16:13.079 when I bring judgment against you and reveal my holiness among you. 00:16:13.499 --> 00:16:16.469 Everyone watching will know that I am the Lord. 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.509 I will send a plague against you, and blood will be spilled in your streets. 00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:25.469 The attack will come from every direction, and your people will 00:16:25.469 --> 00:16:27.689 lie slaughtered within your walls. 00:16:28.529 --> 00:16:31.349 Then everyone will know that I am the Lord. 00:16:32.369 --> 00:16:36.749 No longer will Israel's scornful neighbors prick and tear at her 00:16:37.199 --> 00:16:40.049 like briars and thorns for them. 00:16:40.049 --> 00:16:42.539 They will know that I am the sovereign Lord. 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:47.819 This is what the sovereign Lord says The people of Israel will 00:16:47.819 --> 00:16:49.769 again live in their own land. 00:16:50.129 --> 00:16:55.469 The land I gave my servant Jacob for, I will gather them from the distant 00:16:55.469 --> 00:16:57.179 lands where I have scattered them. 00:16:57.884 --> 00:17:01.874 I will reveal to the nations of the world my holiness among my people. 00:17:02.894 --> 00:17:07.034 They will live safely in Israel and build homes and plant vineyards. 00:17:07.784 --> 00:17:12.374 And when I punish the neighboring nations that treated them with contempt, they 00:17:12.379 --> 00:17:15.344 will know that I am the Lord their God. 00:17:17.024 --> 00:17:22.424 On January 7th, during the 10th year of King Je Jolla Kins captivity, this 00:17:22.424 --> 00:17:24.224 message came to me from the Lord. 00:17:25.274 --> 00:17:30.104 Son of man turn and face Egypt and prophesy against Pharaoh, the 00:17:30.104 --> 00:17:32.354 king, and all the people of Egypt. 00:17:33.014 --> 00:17:37.904 Give them this message from the sovereign Lord, I am your enemy. 00:17:37.994 --> 00:17:44.234 Oh Pharaoh, king of Egypt, you great monster Lurking in the streams of the Nile 00:17:44.774 --> 00:17:47.684 for you have said The Nile River is mine. 00:17:48.044 --> 00:17:49.604 I made it for myself. 00:17:50.684 --> 00:17:54.134 I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out on the land. 00:17:54.584 --> 00:17:59.414 With fish sticking to your scales, I will leave you and all your fish 00:17:59.414 --> 00:18:01.454 stranded in the wilderness to die. 00:18:02.114 --> 00:18:06.224 You will lie unburied on the open ground for I have given you as 00:18:06.224 --> 00:18:08.654 food to the wild animals and birds. 00:18:09.584 --> 00:18:14.924 All the people of Egypt will know that I and the Lord for to Israel. 00:18:14.924 --> 00:18:17.144 You were just a staff made of reeds. 00:18:17.954 --> 00:18:22.844 When Israel leaned on you, you splintered and broke and stabbed her in the armpit. 00:18:23.699 --> 00:18:28.049 When she put her weight on you, you collapsed and her legs gave way. 00:18:29.549 --> 00:18:31.919 Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says. 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:37.529 I will bring an army against you, O Egypt and destroy both people and animals. 00:18:38.429 --> 00:18:42.779 The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland, and the Egyptians 00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:48.689 will know that I and the Lord, because you said the Nile River is mine. 00:18:48.689 --> 00:18:49.559 I made it. 00:18:50.399 --> 00:18:52.919 I am now the enemy of both you and your river. 00:18:53.909 --> 00:18:58.259 I will make the land of Egypt a totally desolate wasteland from 00:18:58.264 --> 00:19:04.439 Migdal to Aswan as far south as the border of Ethiopia for 40 years. 00:19:04.469 --> 00:19:06.119 Not a soul will pass that way. 00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:08.339 Neither people nor animals. 00:19:08.999 --> 00:19:10.949 It will be completely uninhabited. 00:19:11.969 --> 00:19:16.469 I will make Egypt desolate and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. 00:19:17.639 --> 00:19:23.429 Cities will be empty and desolate for 40 years surrounded by other ruined cities. 00:19:24.239 --> 00:19:29.249 I will scatter the Egyptians to distant lands, but this is what 00:19:29.249 --> 00:19:30.839 the sovereign Lord also says. 00:19:31.889 --> 00:19:35.939 At the end of the 40 years, I will bring the Egyptians home again from the nations 00:19:35.939 --> 00:19:37.259 to which they have been scattered. 00:19:38.429 --> 00:19:41.909 I will restore the prosperity of Egypt and bring its people back 00:19:41.909 --> 00:19:45.719 to the land of Patros in Southern Egypt from which they came. 00:19:46.589 --> 00:19:49.769 But Egypt will remain an unimportant minor kingdom. 00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:54.989 It'll be the lowliest of all the nations, never again great enough 00:19:54.994 --> 00:19:56.519 to rise above its neighbors. 00:19:57.659 --> 00:20:01.439 Then Israel will no longer be tempted to trust in Egypt for help. 00:20:02.339 --> 00:20:06.359 Egypt's shattered condition will remind Israel of how sinful she 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:08.759 was to trust Egypt in earlier days. 00:20:09.659 --> 00:20:13.319 Then Israel will know that I am the sovereign Lord. 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:19.589 On April 26th, the first day of the new year, during the 27th year of King 00:20:19.589 --> 00:20:25.499 Je Hoya Kin's captivity, this message came to me from the Lord Son of man. 00:20:25.859 --> 00:20:30.719 The army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon fought so hard against tire that the 00:20:30.719 --> 00:20:36.149 warrior's heads were rubbed bare, and their shoulders were raw and blistered y. 00:20:36.209 --> 00:20:40.679 Nebuchadnezzar and his army won no plunder to compensate them for all their work. 00:20:41.624 --> 00:20:44.504 Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says. 00:20:45.344 --> 00:20:49.364 I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. 00:20:50.834 --> 00:20:55.724 He will carry off its wealth, plundering everything it has so he can pay his army. 00:20:56.534 --> 00:21:01.364 Yes, I have given him the land of Egypt as a reward for his work, says 00:21:01.364 --> 00:21:05.984 the sovereign Lord, because he was working for me when he destroyed tire. 00:21:07.019 --> 00:21:12.629 The day will come when I will cause the ancient glory of Israel to revive And then 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.929 Ezekiel, your words will be respected. 00:21:16.709 --> 00:21:18.749 Then they will know that I am the Lord. 00:21:20.639 --> 00:21:23.519 This concludes today's immerse reading experience. 00:21:23.639 --> 00:21:24.869 Thank you for joining us.
