Gentile Powers to be Judged – 1

Amon – Ezekiel 25:1-7

The word of the Lord came to me:   “Son of man, set your face against  the Ammonites  and prophesy against them.    Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you said “Aha! ” over my sanctuary when it was desecrated  and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste and over the people of Judah when they went into exile,    therefore I am going to give you to the people of the East  as a possession.

They will set up their camps  and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.    I will turn Rabbah  into a pasture for camels and Ammon into a resting place for sheep.  Then you will know that I am the Lord.   For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you have clapped your hands  and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel,    therefore I will stretch out my hand  against you and give you as plunder  to the nations.
I will wipe you out from among the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy  you, and you will know that I am the Lord. ’”

Moab - Ezekiel 25:8-11

A Prophecy Against Moab

  “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Moab  and Seir  said, “Look, Judah has become like all the other nations,”   therefore I will expose the flank of Moab, beginning at its frontier towns—Beth Jeshimoth , Baal Meon  and Kiriathaim —the glory of that land.  

I will give Moab along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered  among the nations;   and I will inflict punishment on Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

Edom - Ezekiel 25:12-14

A Prophecy Against Edom

  “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Edom  took revenge on Judah and became very guilty by doing so,   therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand  against Edom and kill both man and beast.  I will lay it waste, and from Teman  to Dedan  they will fall by the sword.   

I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger  and my wrath; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

Tyre – Read Ezekiel 26:1-28
