 “I will make Pathros desolate, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgments in No. I will pour My fury on Sin, the strength of Egypt; I will cut off the multitude of No, and set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall have great pain, No shall be split open, and Noph shall be in distress daily. The young men of Aven and Pi Beseth shall fall by the sword, and these cities shall go into captivity. At Tehaphnehes the day shall also be darkened, when I break the yokes of Egypt there. and her arrogant strength shall cease in her; Ezekiel 30:14-18

God broke Egypt, by the hand of king Nebuchadnezzar, and caused her arrogant strength to cease. The arrogant strength of Egypt predominantly referred to the military aid given to the Israelites and other countries. Some of those countries included No, Sin, Noph, Pathros, Zoan, Aven, Pi Beseth, and Tehaphnehes. Judgments would be executed in No to cause No to split open and the multitudes to be cut off. Fury would be poured out on Sin with great pain. Noph would be in distress daily. Other countries would be made desolate, set on fire, die violently, taken into captivity, and the day darkened. Egypt would be set on fire.

Egypt represents America that is going to be broken, and her arrogant strength will cease This refers to the military, economic, and political strength of America being broken. America is being and will be set on fire. America’s allies are being and will be desolated at that time, and her allies are synonymous with receiving military aid from America. As we know, those allies include Israel, Ukraine, South Korea, Taiwan, NATO countries [a military alliance], Taiwan, and other countries around the world. The world government, by the hand of God, is and will continue to make America’s allies desolate, set them on fire, cut them off from the global culture, inflict pain on them, split them open, and put them in distress daily. We already see that happening today. Their day is and will be darkened when America is broken and her arrogant strength ceases.

God is not giving the world government and its global culture a free pass in this world, they will answer to God for rejecting Jesus Christ and blaspheming the Holy Spirit. While the world government and its people are gathered against America, Israel, and other countries, God is going to bring His fury against that assembly of nations, “Therefore wait for Me,” says the Lord, “Until the day I rise up for plunder; My determination is to gather the nations to My assembly of kingdoms, to pour on them My indignation, all My fierce anger; All the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.” Zephaniah 3:8 This refers to the Battle of Armageddon in Revelation 16:12-17 and the Day of the Lord in Zachariah 14.

We know that those who say “no” to the love and forgiveness of God that comes through Jesus Christ will suffer the consequences of their sin in eternal hell. We who accept Jesus Christ, to live in the presence of the Holy Spirit, will receive eternal life in the New Jerusalem. In life beyond the grave, God causes sin to have great pain, and those who say “no” to Jesus Christ will be in distress daily. They are those who fall and are brought into the captivity of atheism that binds people to unbelief in God, the rejection of Jesus Christ, and the oppression of the Holy Spirit. Their days are and will be darkened. On this earth, great tribulation has begun and will progress into great suffering and pain before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

On this earth, we have the opportunity to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ, and we can avoid eternal hell that awaits unbelievers beyond the grave. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 Jesus Christ has not come to condemn us to hell in this life, but to give us the opportunity to receive eternal life by believing in Him, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17

“But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:22-23

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
