Go not down to or trust in Egypt

8/12/2013

 
Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD. And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted. And they shall know that I AM the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed. In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh. (Ezekiel 30:6-9)

GOD warned the people of Jerusalem not to go down to Egypt to escape the Babylonians because Egypt would also be destroyed when the armies came.  They didn't listen and both those that sought refuge with Egypt, and the Egyptians themselves were destroyed when the invading armies rolled over them like the waves of the sea.  GOD sent the Babylonians not only to chastise Judah and Jerusalem, but as conquerers of the middle east, he allowed them to exercise His judgment on the nations that opposed Him.

There is coming a future day as well, that GOD will judge all the nations, peoples, and tongues that ignore and oppose GOD.  While He will allow a world government that tries to rule without Him, He will also direct events to bring His people back to Him, and as many of the Tribulation gentiles into a right relationship with Him as will come.  The rest of those people who choose to reject GOD will be punished for their rebellion and sIn.

Without Christ, we are under condemnation for our sIn nature, and our sIn and rebellious acts.  Those of us who are truly born again, having received Jesus Christ by Faith in His finished work on the Cross of Calvary, are free and forgiven.  Free from the penalty of sIn, but not yet from its presence.  Forgiven of the debt of sIn, but not its consequences when we sIn here and now.  The Christian has been justified before GOD, being sanctified into the image of Christ and one day when GOD calls us Home we will be glorified and always present with Him.

Those that don't yet know GOD in the person of Jesus Christ and have never surrendered to Him on His terms don't have His presence, His peace, or His promises.  But, GOD is not willing that you should perish, but wants you to believe Him and receive a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting.  He has already paid for your sIn, and desires that you accept His free offer of Salvation and a covenant relationship with Him that is real and personal.  He loves you and calls you to Himself today.

Those that are in right relationship with GOD through Jesus Christ, must share His Word with those they meet.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
