Read: Ezekiel 29-30
    Chronology
EGYPT
  1. Which was given to Ezekiel first, the word of the Lord concerning Tyre or the word of the Lord concerning Egypt in 29:1-16?

     
  2. Who or what said, "My Nile is mine, and I myself have made it"? (29:3, 9)

     
  3. Do the fish that are drawn out with the monster in 29:4 represent the inhabitants of Egypt, the nations who had made alliances with Egypt, or something else?

     
  4. What would become of the monster?

     
  5. Egypt was compared to what in verses 7-8?

     
  6. Who else had made this same comparison and on what occasion? (2 Ki. 18:21, Is. 36:6)

     
  7. What was the point of the comparison? (cf. 29:16)

     
  8. What is the probable significance of the number "40" in verses 11 -13? (cf. Gen 7:17, Ps. 95:10-11, Ezek. 4:6)

     
  9. What would happen at the end of the 40 years?

     
  10. The Egyptians would return to "the land of _________," which was "the land of their __________."
     
  11. On Pathros, see Jer. 44:1, Gen 10:13, 14, 1 Chron. 1:12, Is. 11:1)
     
  12. Is the modern state of Israel excluded from signing a mutual protection pact with Egypt by the declaration of God in Ezek. 29:16?

     
  13. In what verse of chapter 29 does a new "word of the Lord" begin?
     
  14. What is the date of this "word of the Lord"?
     
  15. What is the relationship of the subject of this "word of the Lord" to the previous message of verses 1- 16?

     
  16. Explain why Nebuchadnezzar and his army "had no wages from Tyre."

     
  17. Because of this, according to Ez. 29:19, what would the Lord do?

     
  18. What other reason was given for this in 29:20?
  1. What statement is found at the end of each section of announcements against a nation or nations? (Ammon 25:7, Moab 25:11, Edom 25:14, Philistia 25:17, Tyre & Sidon 28:25-26, Egypt 29:21)

     
  2. Along with this, an optimistic reference to whose future is included in the cases of Edom, Tyre & Sidon, and Egypt?

     
  3. A third section concerning Egypt begins in 30:1, but is not dated. Chronologically, is it best to understand this section as following 29:1-16, or 29:17-21? (Consider the implications of question 20.)

     
  4. The fall of Egypt is described in what way in 30:3?

     
  5. Which of the figures used to describe the fall of Egypt in Ezek. 30:3 and 32:7-8 are also used to describe the fall of Jerusalem in Mt. 24:29-30?

     
  6. What is the significance of clouds in Ezek. 30:3 and Mt. 24:30? (cf. Ps. 18:9-12, Ezek. 1:4, Is 19:1. Also see Ex. 13:21; 19:16-18; and Lev. 16:2)

     
  7. Keeping this in mind, will it necessarily be a cloudy day, literally, at the time when 1 Thess. 4:16-17 is fulfilled? (Also compare Acts 1:9-11)

     
  8. Identify the geographical locations of the nations mentioned in verse 5 of chapter 30 by the names of the modern nations in those regions. (See a commentary or other reference book.)

     
  9. According to Jer. 46:9, what was the connection between these nations and Egypt?

     
  10. Again in this, the third section concerning Egypt, who is identified as the one by whose hand God would come against Egypt?

     
  11. What was Memphis (KJV -Noph) and what was said about it in 30:13?

     
  12. What were Pathros, Zoan, Thebes (KJV -No), Sin, On.(KJV: Aven), Pi-beseth, and Tehaphnehes?

     
  13. In what year did Ezekiel receive word from God that He had broken the arm of Pharaoh?
     
  14. Did this mean that Egypt had fallen to Nebuchadnezzar?
     
  15. What was yet to happen? (vs. 22-25)
