So I will execute judgment on Egypt
This phrase underscores God's sovereign authority and His role as the ultimate judge over nations. The Hebrew word for "execute" is "עָשָׂה" (asah), which means to do, make, or accomplish. It implies a deliberate and purposeful action by God. The term "judgment" is "מִשְׁפָּט" (mishpat), which refers to a legal decision or verdict. In the context of ancient Israel, Egypt was a powerful nation often seen as a symbol of worldly strength and opposition to God's people. This judgment signifies God's power to humble even the mightiest of nations, reminding us that no earthly power can stand against His divine will.

and they will know that I am the LORD
This phrase is a recurring theme in the book of Ezekiel, emphasizing the recognition of God's sovereignty and identity. The Hebrew word for "know" is "יָדַע" (yada), which implies an intimate understanding or acknowledgment. The phrase "I am the LORD" uses the divine name "YHWH" (Yahweh), which is God's covenant name with Israel. This acknowledgment is not just intellectual but relational, calling for a recognition of God's authority and a return to covenant faithfulness. Historically, this serves as a reminder that God's actions in history are meant to reveal His character and lead people to a deeper relationship with Him.

When I pour out My wrath on Egypt
The imagery of "pouring out" is significant, suggesting an overwhelming and unstoppable force. The Hebrew word "שָׁפַךְ" (shaphak) means to spill or pour out, often used in the context of divine wrath or judgment. God's wrath is not arbitrary but a response to sin and rebellion. Egypt, as a historical oppressor of Israel, becomes a symbol of all that stands against God's purposes. This phrase serves as a sobering reminder of the seriousness of sin and the reality of divine justice.

and bring her to an end
The phrase "bring her to an end" indicates the finality of God's judgment. The Hebrew word "כָּלָה" (kalah) means to complete or finish. This is not merely a temporary setback for Egypt but a decisive conclusion to her power and influence. In the broader biblical narrative, this reflects the ultimate triumph of God's kingdom over all earthly powers. It inspires believers to trust in God's ultimate plan and His ability to bring about His purposes, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable opposition.
