‘Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in the war, when they cast up ramps and build siege walls to cut off many lives. ‘Now he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he pledged his allegiance, yet did all these things; he shall not escape.'”
Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, “As I live, surely My oath which he despised and My covenant which he broke, I will inflict on his head.
“I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare Then I will bring him to Babylon and enter into judgment with him there regarding the unfaithful act which he has committed against Me.
“All the choice men in all his troops will fall by the sword, and the survivors will be scattered to every wind; and you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken.”
Thus says the Lord GOD, “I will also take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and set it out; I will pluck from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.
“On the high mountain of Israel I will plant it, that it may bring forth boughs and bear fruit and become a stately cedar. And birds of every kind will nest under it; they will nest in the shade of its branches.
“All the trees of the field will know that I am the LORD; I bring down the high tree, exalt the low tree, dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish. I am the LORD; I have spoken, and I will perform it.”
Ezekiel Chapter 17
This a a hard message to give and to receive, esp when hearts are calloused/proud.
I received a Rhema word for you, while i was thinking about this;
Isaiah 44:1
But now listen, O Jacob, my servant,
Israel whom i have chosen.
This is what the LORD says-
he who made you , who formed you in the womb,
and who will help you:
Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant,
Jeshurun,whom i have chosen.
( This part is for you specifically at this time, the rest is for your family generally)
I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring,
and my blessing on your descendants.
They will spring up like grass in a meadow,
like poplar trees by flowing streams.
One will say, ‘I belong to the
LORD’;
another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
still another will write on his hand, ;The
LORDs’,
and will take the name Israel.
