"Pharaoh and all his multitudes"

Text: Ezekiel 32:32

THE SLAYING OF THE PHARAOH

The Pharaoh had many allies. They formed a strong alliance and they resisted the growing empire of Assyria. They failed miserably and many were slain.

“‘Pharaoh will see them
And be comforted over all his multitude,
Pharaoh and all his army,
Slain by the sword,’
Says the Lord God.
‘For I have caused My terror in the land of the living;
And he shall be placed in the midst of the uncircumcised
With those slain by the sword,
Pharaoh and all his multitude,’
Says the Lord God.”
