Day 275: Divine Judgment on Egypt - Prophecies of Desolation and Destruction

On Day 275 of Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience, we delve into a series of prophetic messages from the Lord concerning the fate of Egypt and its allies. The sovereign Lord announces a day of clouds, gloom, and despair for Egypt, predicting the desolation of its cities, the destruction of its wealth, and the slaughter of its people. Pharaoh's arms are broken, and Egypt's pride is shattered as its allies fall. Through the words of the prophet, God declares that He will make Egypt desolate, scattering its people among the nations. These prophecies emphasize the Lord's power and judgment, underscoring the imminent downfall of Egypt at the hands of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and other foreign nations. This reading brings forth the magnitude of divine retribution and the certainty of God's word as Egypt's grandeur is compared to Assyria's fallen cedar, highlighting the consequences of pride and disobedience.

Immerse: Prophets is the fourth of six volumes of the Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience program. Prophets presents the First Testament prophets in groupings that represent four historical periods, beginning with the prophets who spoke before the fall of Israel’s northern kingdom (Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Micah, Isaiah), then before the fall of the southern kingdom (Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk), around the time of Jerusalem’s destruction (Jeremiah, Obadiah, Ezekiel), and after the return from exile (Haggai, Zechariah, Joel, Malachi).

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
