Pharaoh
Pharaoh
'Pharaoh' is the term we use today to describe
the rulers of ancient Egypt.
'Pharaoh' is actually a Greek word that is based on an Egyptian word that meant 'great house'.
When this word was first used, it referred to the palace and its greatness, not just to the ruler himself. However, later
in Egyptian history the title 'pharaoh' meant ruler.
In the tenth year, in the tenth [month] on the twelfth [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came
to me: 2 "Son of man, turn your face toward Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against
all of Egypt. 3 Speak [to him] and say: This is what the Lord God says:
Look,
I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
the great monster lying in the middle of his Nile,
who says: My Nile is my
own;
I made [it] for myself. 4 I will put hooks in your jaws
and make the fish of your streams
cling
to your scales.
I will haul you up
from the middle of your Nile,
and all the fish of your streams
will cling to
your scales. 5 I will leave you in the desert,
you and all the fish of your streams.
You will fall
on the open ground
and will not be taken away
or gathered [for burial].
I have given you
to the beasts of the
earth
and the birds of the sky as food. 6 Then all the inhabitants
of Egypt
will know that I am the Lord,
for they have been a staff [made] of reed
to the house of Israel. 7 When
Israel grasped you by the hand,
you splintered, tearing all their shoulders;
when they leaned on you,
you shattered
and made all their hips unsteady.
Egypt
New York
will be lost as a City, it's at the heart of America and is the engine of America, it could even be described as a Ship.
It is a trading city that has been built up by people from the out side.it is as if it is a
morror image of the old City Tyre, She too was built up by outsiders who built her up and lived in her, she is compared to
a grat ship.
The God of Israel did say that he would build her up again at a lter stage in a diffrent part of
the World, Tyre is Gone for good, but New York is alive and well and is comparable to the anchient City of Tyre.
These First attacks on her may not be the last attacks on her if the comparisons are correct.
I pray for the City as I am not a man who wants to see such destruction.
God has brought many a Nation down in the past and he did say that he would offend the hearts
of many People in these days.
" 'Wail and say,
"Alas for that day!"
3 For the day is near,
the day of the
LORD is near-
a day of clouds,
a time of doom for the nations.
4 A sword will come against Egypt,
and
anguish will come upon Cush. [1]
When the slain fall in Egypt,
her wealth will be carried away
and her foundations torn down.
That is, the upper Nile region, were Americans originated from
Then they will know that I am the LORD ,
when I set fire to Egypt
and all her helpers are crushed.
Pharaoh
1 "Woe to the rebellious children," says the LORD, "who carry out a plan,
but not mine; and who make a league, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin; 2 who set out to go down
to Egypt, without asking for my counsel, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh, and to seek shelter in the shadow of
Egypt! 3 Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to
your humiliation. 4
