00:16 Hello and welcome to "His Words Are Life."
00:18 I'm Kelly Mowrer and today we're go to read together 00:21 from the Book of Ezekiel. 00:22 But first let's pray. 00:25 Dear Heavenly Father thank you for Your love 00:27 that has redeemed us and saved us and freed us. 00:32 And now Father please be with us 00:34 as we read Your word, we want to know You more 00:37 and we want these words to help us 00:39 to become more like You. 00:41 Please send the Holy Spirit to be with us. 00:43 Asking the name of Jesus. Amen. 00:46 Reading in the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 28, 00:50 and God is speaking about 00:52 when He will gather together again Israel, 00:56 who has been scattered. Picking up in verse 26. 01:01 And they shall dwell safely therein, 01:04 and shall build houses, and plant vineyards. 01:06 Yea, they shall dwell with confidence, 01:09 when I have executed judgments upon all those 01:12 that despise them round about them, 01:14 and they shall know that I am the Lord their God. 01:21 Continuing in Ezekiel, Chapter 29, 01:23 and this is the King James Version. 01:26 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, 01:28 in the twelfth day of the month, 01:31 the word of the Lord came unto me, 01:33 saying, "Son of man, 01:35 set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, 01:37 and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt. 01:41 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God. 01:46 Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt. 01:49 The great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, 01:53 which hath said, My river is mine own, 01:56 and I have made it for myself. 01:58 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, 02:00 and I will cause the fish of thy rivers 02:03 to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up 02:06 out of the midst of thy rivers. 02:09 And all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. 02:13 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, 02:16 thee and all the fish of thy rivers, 02:19 thou shalt fall upon the open fields, 02:21 thou shalt not be brought together, 02:22 nor gathered. 02:24 I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field 02:27 and to the fowls of the heaven. 02:29 And all the inhabitants of Egypt 02:30 shall know that I am the Lord, because they have been 02:33 a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 02:37 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, 02:39 thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder, 02:43 and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, 02:46 and madest all their loins to be at a stand. 02:50 Therefore thus saith the Lord God. 02:52 Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, 02:55 and cut off man and beast out of thee. 02:58 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste, 03:02 and they shall know that I am the Lord, 03:05 because he hath said, 03:06 The river is mine, and I have made it. 03:10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, 03:12 and against thy rivers, 03:13 and I will make the land of Egypt 03:15 utterly waste and desolate, 03:17 from the tower of Syene 03:19 even unto the border of Ethiopia. 03:22 No foot of man shall pass through it, 03:24 nor foot of beast shall pass through it, 03:26 neither shall it be inhabited forty years. 03:29 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate 03:31 in the midst of the countries that are desolate. 03:33 And her cities among the cities 03:35 that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years, 03:38 and I will scatter the Egyptians 03:40 among the nations, 03:41 and will disperse them through the countries. 03:44 Yet thus saith the Lord God, 03:46 at the end of forty years 03:47 will I gather the Egyptians from the people 03:50 whither they were scattered. 03:52 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, 03:54 and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, 03:58 into the land of their habitation, 04:00 and they shall be there a base kingdom. 04:02 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms, 04:05 neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations, 04:08 for I will diminish them, 04:10 that they shall no more rule over the nations. 04:14 And it shall be no more 04:15 the confidence of the house of Israel, 04:17 which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, 04:20 when they shall look after them. 04:22 But they shall know that I am the Lord God. 04:26 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, 04:30 in the first month, in the first day of the month. 04:33 The word of the Lord came unto me, 04:35 saying, Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 04:39 caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus. 04:44 Every head was made bald, 04:46 and every shoulder was peeled. 04:49 Yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, 04:52 for the service that he had served against it. 04:56 Therefore thus saith the Lord God. 04:59 Behold, I will give the land of Egypt 05:02 unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, 05:05 and he shall take her multitude, 05:07 and take her spoil, and take her prey, 05:10 and it shall be the wages for his army. 05:13 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour 05:16 wherewith he served against it, 05:17 because they wrought for me, saith the Lord God. 05:20 In that day will I cause 05:22 the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, 05:24 and I will give thee the opening of the mouth 05:26 in the midst of them. 05:28 And they shall know that I am the Lord. 05:32 Continuing in the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 30, 05:36 and this is the King James Version. 05:39 The word of the Lord came again unto me, 05:41 saying, Son of man, prophesy and say, 05:45 Thus saith the Lord God, Howl ye, Woe worth the day, 05:50 For the day is near, 05:51 even the day of the Lord is near, 05:53 a cloudy day, it shall be the time of the heathen. 05:57 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, 05:59 and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, 06:01 when the slain shall fall in Egypt, 06:04 and they shall take away her multitude, 06:06 and her foundations shall be broken down. 06:10 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, 06:13 and all the mingled people, and Chub, 06:16 and the men of the land that is in league, 06:19 shall fall with them by the sword. 06:22 Thus saith the Lord, 06:23 They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, 06:27 and the pride of her power shall come down, 06:30 from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it 06:33 by the sword, saith the Lord God. 06:35 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries 06:37 that are desolate, and her cities 06:39 shall be in the midst of the cities 06:41 that are wasted. 06:43 And they shall know that I am the Lord, 06:45 when I have set a fire in Egypt, 06:47 and when all her helpers shall be destroyed. 06:50 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships 06:54 to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, 06:58 and great pain shall come upon them, 07:00 as in the day of Egypt, for, lo, it cometh. 07:04 Thus saith the Lord God, 07:05 I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease 07:08 by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 07:10 king of Babylon. 07:11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, 07:15 shall be brought to destroy the land, 07:18 and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, 07:21 and fill the land with the slain. 07:24 And I will make the rivers dry, 07:26 and sell the land into the hand of the wicked, 07:29 and I will make the land waste, 07:30 and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers, 07:35 I the Lord have spoken it. 07:37 Thus saith the Lord God, I will also destroy the idols, 07:41 and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph, 07:45 and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt, 07:49 and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. 07:52 And I will make Pathros desolate, 07:54 and will set fire in Zoan, 07:56 and will execute judgments in No. 07:59 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, 08:01 the strength of Egypt, 08:02 and I will cut off the multitude of No. 08:05 And I will set fire in Egypt, Sin shall have great pain, 08:08 and No shall be rent asunder, 08:10 and Noph shall have distresses daily. 08:13 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth 08:16 shall fall by the sword, 08:18 and these cities shall go into captivity. 08:22 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, 08:24 when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, 08:26 and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her, 08:30 as for her, a cloud shall cover her, 08:32 and her daughters shall go into captivity. 08:35 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt, 08:38 and they shall know that I am the Lord. 08:42 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, 08:44 in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, 08:46 that the word of the Lord came unto me, 08:48 saying, Son of man, 08:50 I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, 08:53 and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, 08:57 to put a roller to bind it, 08:58 to make it strong to hold the sword. 09:01 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 09:04 Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, 09:07 and will break his arms, the strong, 09:10 and that which was broken, 09:11 and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand. 09:16 And I will scatter the Egyptians 09:17 among the nations, 09:18 and will disperse them through the countries. 09:21 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, 09:24 and put my sword in his hand, 09:26 but I will break Pharaohs arms. 09:29 And he shall groan before him 09:31 with the groanings of a deadly wounded man. 09:35 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, 09:38 and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down, 09:41 and they shall know that I am the Lord, 09:43 when I shall put my sword 09:44 into the hand of the king of Babylon, 09:46 and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. 09:50 And I will scatter the Egyptians 09:52 among the nations, 09:53 and disperse them among the countries. 09:56 And they shall know that I am the Lord. 10:00 Continuing in the Book of Ezekiel, 10:02 Chapter 31, this is the King James Version. 10:05 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, 10:08 in the third month, in the first day of the month, 10:12 that the word of the Lord came unto me, 10:14 saying, Son of man, 10:16 speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, 10:17 and to his multitude, 10:19 Whom art thou like in thy greatness? 10:23 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon 10:26 with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, 10:30 and of an high stature, 10:31 and his top was among the thick boughs. 10:34 The waters made him great, 10:36 the deep set him up on high 10:38 with her rivers running round about his plants, 10:41 and sent her little rivers 10:42 unto all the trees of the field. 10:45 Therefore his height was exalted 10:46 above all the trees of the field, 10:48 and his boughs were multiplied, 10:49 and his branches became long 10:51 because of the multitude of waters, 10:53 when he shot forth. 10:55 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, 10:58 and under his branches did all the beasts of the field 11:01 bring forth their young, 11:03 and under his shadow dwelt all great nations. 11:07 Thus was he fair in his greatness, 11:09 in the length of his branches, 11:11 for his root was by great waters. 11:13 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him, 11:17 the fir trees were not like his boughs, 11:19 and the chestnut trees were not like his branches, 11:22 nor any tree in the garden of God 11:24 was like unto him in his beauty. 11:27 I have made him fair 11:28 by the multitude of his branches, 11:30 so that all the trees of Eden, 11:32 that were in the garden of God, envied him. 11:37 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 11:39 Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, 11:44 and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, 11:46 and his heart is lifted up in his height, 11:50 I have therefore delivered him 11:51 into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen. 11:55 He shall surely deal with him, 11:57 I have driven him out for his wickedness. 12:00 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, 12:03 have cut him off, and have left him, 12:05 upon the mountains and in all the valleys 12:08 his branches are fallen, 12:09 and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land, 12:13 and all the people of the earth are gone down 12:15 down from his shadow, and have left him. 12:17 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls 12:20 of the heaven remain, 12:21 and all the beasts of the field 12:23 shall be upon his branches. 12:25 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters 12:28 exalt themselves for their height, 12:30 neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, 12:33 neither their trees stand up in their height, 12:36 all that drink water, 12:38 for they are all delivered unto death, 12:40 to the nether parts of the earth, 12:42 in the midst of the children of men, 12:44 with them that go down to the pit. 12:48 Thus saith the Lord God, 12:49 In the day when he went down to the grave 12:51 I caused a mourning, I covered the deep for him, 12:55 and I restrained the floods thereof, 12:57 and the great waters were stayed, 12:59 and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, 13:01 and all the trees of the field fainted for him. 13:06 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, 13:09 when I cast him down to hell with them 13:12 that descend into the pit, and all the trees of Eden, 13:15 the choice and best of Lebanon, 13:18 all that drink water, shall be comforted 13:21 in the nether parts of the earth. 13:23 They also went down into hell with him 13:25 unto them that be slain with the sword, 13:28 and they that were his arm, 13:29 that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen. 13:34 To whom art thou thus like in glory 13:37 and in greatness among the trees of Eden? 13:41 Yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden 13:43 unto the nether parts of the earth, 13:45 thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised 13:48 with them that be slain by the sword. 13:51 This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, 13:54 saith the Lord God. 13:57 Continuing in Ezekiel, Chapter 32, 14:00 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, 14:03 in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, 14:06 that the word of the Lord came unto me, 14:08 saying, Son of man, 14:09 take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, 14:11 and say unto him, Thou art like 14:14 a young lion of the nations, 14:16 and thou art as a whale in the seas, 14:18 and thou camest forth with thy rivers, 14:20 and troubledst the waters with thy feet, 14:23 and fouledst their rivers. 14:25 Thus saith the Lord God, 14:27 I will therefore spread out my net over thee 14:30 with a company of many people, 14:33 and they shall bring thee up in my net. |
