EZEKIEL 31

EGYPT WILL BE LIKE ASSYRIA, A LARGE CEDAR CUT DOWN

In a prophecy against Egypt, Ezekiel compares Assyria to a giant towering cedar tree. Although Assyria was once the world power, they became prideful, and they were cut down. Egypt, and specifically Pharaoh, will be like the cedar tree, once mighty and beautiful but soon uprooted and destroyed.

In this illustration, God is responsible for both creating the cedar and commanding for it to be taken down, showing His authority and sovereignty over the fate of the nations.
