What can you turn to when even the most powerful nation in the world is falling apart? 

2024 is shaping up to be a chaotic year. Elections, Civil War, high profile political prosecutions, war in Europe, war in the Middle East- and another Chinese Spy Balloon. And who knows what else is on the horizon?

Well, someone knows, and that’s what we’ll talk about today. 

We’re returning to the study in the book of Ezekiel with chapter 29. This chapter is going to be the first of four that all deal with the nation of Egypt. For a time in world history, near the days of the prophet Ezekiel, Egypt was seen as the most powerful nation in the world. As long as you were on Egypt’s good side, you were probably going to be OK. 

They didn’t need NATO. They had Egypt. 

And yet, Egypt is not gonna be good enough. The most powerful nation in the world is not gonna be good enough when God comes against you. For the first half of the book of Ezekiel, God came against Jerusalem. Now, God is coming against Egypt. 

What can you turn to when even the most powerful nation in the world is falling apart? We’ll talk about that today on the Cross References podcast.
