“I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them throughout the countries.” Ezekiel 30:23

After the military arms of Egypt were broken by King Nebuchadnezzar, of the Babylonian empire, he scattered the Egyptians among the nations and dispersed them throughout the countries. This was done to completely destroy the capability of the Egyptians to use their military power to aid other countries in their rebellion against the Babylonian empire.

Also, read the post on Daniel 8:1-14 on how the United States is scattered among the nations.

When the arms of America are broken to prevent them from funding and otherwise aiding other nations militarily, America will be scattered and dispersed. That will be done by the members of the world government. The people of America’s war machine will no longer be able to gather in think tanks and war rooms to devise their next military move and operations in other countries. At the same time, the world government of the beast will be strengthened militarily, as described in the next verse. When America is scattered and dispersed, this also means all of her resources will become the possession of the global government.

The world’s way of bringing peace is through division, scattering, and dispersing people. Jesus Christ brings a different type of peace than what this world gives. His peace involves unifying and bringing people together in the Holy Spirit, “…from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” Ephesians 4:16 Jesus Christ says, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew18:20

Ah soul, are you here without comfort and rest, marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark; Oh, accept this sweet peace so sublime!
Peace, peace, wonderful peace, Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray in fathomless billows of love!
(Church Hymn)

“….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
