  1. Synchronize your calendars<\/em>. The two prophecies here are dated. No, not that they\u2019re old (that too) but that they have dates attached. The counting in Ezekiel is understood to begin with the exile of Jehoiachin. The first prophecy is from the 12th of Tevet in year 10 (January 7th, 587 BCE) – exactly one year after the beginning of the siege on Jerusalem, and about a year before its destruction. The second is from the 1st of Nissan in the year 27 (April 26th, 571 BCE) – after the siege on Tyre and before the campaign against Egypt.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The Israelite connection I<\/em>. Egypt was an ally that Judah depended on in the rebellions against Assyria, and later, against Babylonia. But it was a \u201csplintered reed of a staff\u201d to lean on, as mentioned earlier in 2 Kings 18:21. Here, too, in verses 6-7 the same image is mentioned. See if you can spot the differences.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. 40 years<\/em>. Egypt is punished with 40 years of devastation, which is like saying for a full generation. The period of wrath against Judah was also defined, 25 chapters ago (ezek. 4) as forty years.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The Israelite connection II<\/em>. What will happen to Israel when the prophecy against Egypt is fulfilled? See verse 21. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
