Ezekiel 30
1. The desolation of Egypt and her helpers
20. The arm of Babylon shall be strengthened to break the arm of Egypt.














The word of the LORD
This phrase signifies divine communication, a hallmark of prophetic literature. In Hebrew, "word" is "dabar," which implies not just spoken words but also actions and events. The "word of the LORD" is a powerful, creative force, as seen in Genesis where God speaks creation into existence. This underscores the authority and reliability of the message Ezekiel is about to deliver. It is not merely human opinion but a divine revelation, emphasizing the sovereignty of God in guiding His people.

came to me
The phrase "came to me" indicates a personal and direct encounter with the divine. In Hebrew, the verb "came" is "hayah," which can also mean "to happen" or "to become." This suggests that the word of the LORD is not static but dynamic, actively engaging with the prophet. It highlights the intimate relationship between God and His prophets, where God chooses specific individuals to convey His messages. This personal aspect assures the audience of the authenticity and urgency of the prophecy.

saying
The word "saying" introduces the content of the divine message. In Hebrew, "amar" is used, which means to speak, declare, or command. This indicates that what follows is not a suggestion but a declaration from God. It sets the stage for the prophetic message, demanding attention and response. The use of "saying" also implies continuity, as God's communication with His people is ongoing, reflecting His unchanging nature and His desire to guide, correct, and comfort His people throughout history.

Verse 1. - The word of the Lord came again, etc. The section that follows, ending with Ver. 18, is exceptional as standing without a date. It may be either

(1) a continuation of the prophecy in Ezekiel 29:17-21, and so belong to the latest years of Ezekiel's work; or

(2) that prophecy may be regarded as standing by itself - a parenthesis inserted at a later date, so that we go back to the earlier word of the Lord in Ezekiel 29:1-16. Jerome, Havernick, Hitzig, Rosenmüller, Kliefoth, and others are in favor of the former view, chiefly on the ground that Ver. 3 speaks of the nearness of the coming judgment. That the day of the Lord should be "near" is, however, too vague and relative a term to be decisive. On the whole, the question must be left as one which we have no sufficient data for solving. The close parallelism with Ezekiel 29. seems to me slightly in favor of the second view.
