Ezekiel chapter 29, verse 6.

Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord.

We read that again.

Just think about this statement.

God says in this prophecy against Egypt, he's telling

He's saying it mostly, God's saying it through Ezekiel mostly, to his people.

You shall know that I am the Lord. You shall all know that I am the Lord.

But now in this section of Ezekiel, we see God prophesying through Ezekiel speaking to all kinds of different nations around his people.

And here in this prophecy against Egypt, verse 6 says,

Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord.

And that verse is so significant when we think about the world around us, look at the world around us,

perceive what is happening in the world around us. God is working in everything that is happening toward this end that all the inhabitants of every

nation shall know that he is the Lord. To borrow from Philippians chapter 2, verse 9 through 11,

one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.

All the inhabitants of Egypt, all the inhabitants of the earth,

will not only know that Jesus is Lord, but they will

bow the knee and confess Jesus is Lord, sovereign, ruler of all. Just think about that. Think

about the seven plus billion people in the world right now. Think about everyone's face you will see

today or have seen today. You will see tomorrow. Every one of them will one day not just know
