Chapter xxx.
The destruction of Egypt and her allies is now revealed to the prophet.
It is a remarkable prophecy for the predictions concerning the
humiliation and desolation of Egypt, the once powerful nation of
culture, have found a most interesting fulfillment. The leading cities
of Egypt are mentioned, which have long ago been wasted and their
magnificent temples have crumbled into dust. In the second half of this
chapter the King of Babylon as the executioner of the decrees of God is
seen. The sword of judgment was put into Nebuchadnezzar's hand by God,
so that he might stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
