every king will fear

Ezekiel 32:9-10 (JDV)

Ezekiel 32:9 ” ‘I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring about your destruction among the nations, in countries you have not known.
Ezekiel 32:10 I will cause many peoples to be appalled at you, and their kings will shudder with fear because of you when I brandish my sword in front of them. On the day of your downfall, each of them will tremble every moment for his own throat.

every king will fear

When Egypt falls to Nebuchadnezzar, all of the other kings all around will recognize that if mighty Pharaoh could not resist, neither can they. They will regret the fact that they did not submit to Nebuchadnezzar’s rule. Ezekiel is predicting this fall, and his God is the one giving the command.

One day, everyone — great and small — will stand before the judgment throne. Mighty kings will fall then as well, and all of the lesser kings will realize that they cannot withstand the King of kings. But we cannot afford to wait for that day. We need to reconcile with the Lord now.
