Ezekiel 31The LORD tells Ezekiel to remind Pharaoh that Assyria was once a mighty, dominating nation too. It had been like a giant cedar tree. It was so great and beautiful that all the trees in the Garden of Eden envied it. Yet the LORD killed it, and brought it down to Sheol, the place of the dead. It being punished with destruction brought comfort to all the nations that it had destroyed itself. It had towered high above them, but the LORD brought it low in judgment. The message was for Egypt, because their time had come.
LORD, give us wisdom not to trust in towering greatness, because you judge those who dominate. Give us humble faith.
