EzekielA prophet of God, called to deliver messages of judgment and hope to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile. 2. Pharaoh The king of Egypt, representing the nation and its power. In this context, Pharaoh symbolizes the strength and military might of Egypt. 3. Egypt A powerful nation often seen as a symbol of worldly power and opposition to God's people. Historically, Egypt was both an ally and adversary to Israel. 4. The Arm Symbolizes strength and power. The breaking of Pharaoh's arm signifies the weakening of Egypt's military and political power. 5. God's Judgment The event of God breaking Pharaoh's arm represents divine intervention and judgment against Egypt for its opposition to God's plans. Teaching Points Divine Sovereignty Over NationsGod is in control of all nations and their leaders. No earthly power can withstand His will. The Futility of Human Strength Relying on human power and alliances, like Egypt, is ultimately futile. True strength comes from God alone. The Consequences of Opposing God Nations and individuals who oppose God's plans will face His judgment. It's a call to align with God's purposes. The Need for Spiritual Healing Just as Pharaoh's arm was not healed, spiritual wounds require divine intervention. Seek God for true healing and restoration.

The metaphor was in itself one of the most familiar (Ezekiel 17:9; Ezekiel 22:6; 1 Samuel 2:31; Jeremiah 48:25). What is characteristic in Ezekiel is the way in which he follows the figure, so to speak, into its surgical details. A man with a broken arm might be cured and fight again; but it was not to be so with Pharaoh. His arm was not to be bound with a roller (the equivalent of the modern process of putting it in "splints"). The Hebrew word for "roller" is not found elsewhere, and Ezekiel's use of it is one of the instances of his knowledge of surgery. The corresponding verb is used by him of the bandages or swaddling-clothes of infancy (Ezekiel 16:4). Parallel Commentaries ...
