Ezekiel 29:15
Arabic Bible AVD 1999 (الكتاب المقدس)
What Does This Mean?
In this verse from Ezekiel, God is speaking and says that Egypt will be the lowest of all kingdoms and will not be able to dominate other nations again. God will make sure Egypt remains small and powerless over others.
Explained for Children
Imagine a bully at school who always takes lunch money from other kids. One day, the teachers decide this bully will no longer be allowed to take anything from anyone, and they'll make sure the bully stays in a corner, playing alone. That's what God is saying about Egypt in this verse.
Historical Background
Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this verse around 593-571 BC. He was addressing the people of Israel and the surrounding nations, warning them of the consequences of their actions. This verse reflects the political turmoil and power struggles of the time, especially concerning Egypt's dominance.
Living It Out Today
Today, this verse can remind us that no one should dominate others. In a workplace, for instance, it encourages us to treat everyone equally and avoid using power to control or harm others.
