Ya’oh-khazak-al (Ezekiel) 30:1-19
[1] And the word of YA’OH was to me, saying:
[2] Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says Lord YA’OH, Howl you all, Alas for the day!
[3] For near is the day, even near is the DAY OF YA’OH, a day of the cloud, the time of the heathen it will be.
[4] And the sword will come upon Matsraym, and it will be great anguish in Chosh when the slain fall in Matsraym, and they will take away her multitude, and the foundations of it will be broken down.
[5] Chosh, and Pot, and Lod, and all the mixed people, and Chob, and the children of the earth in alliance with them, by the sword will they fall.
[6] Thus says YA’OH; They will fall, the ones upholding Matsraym, and it will go down the pride of her strength: from the Tower of Sonah, by the sword will they fall in her, says Lord YA’OH.
[7] And they will be desolated in the midst of desolated countries, and its cities in the midst of cities that are wasted they will be.
[8] And they will know that I am YA’OH when I have put fire in Matsraym, and they will be shattered all of her helpers.
[9] In that day, messengers will go forth from me in ships to make Chosh the carefee terrified, and it will be great pain in them in the day of Matsraym, for behold, it is coming!
[10] Thus says Lord YA’OH, I will cause to cease the multitude of Matsraym by the hand of Nabo-chadar-atsar king of Babal.
[11] He and his nation with him, the terror-striking people, the ones going to destroy the earth, and they will draw their swords against Matsraym, and they will fill the land with the slain.
[12] And I will make the rivers dry, and I will sell the land into the hand of shepherds; and I will make desolate the land, even the fullness of it, by the hand of the fanners, I YA’OH have spoken.
[13] Thus says Lord YA’OH, I will perish the idols and I will cause to cease the images from Nap, and a prince from the land of Matsraym will not be again, and I will put fear in the land of Matsraym.
[14] And I will desolate Pathros, and I will put fire in Tsain, and I will do judgments in Na.
[15] And I will pour out my fury upon Sayn, the strength of Matsraym, and I will cause to be cut off the multitude of Na.
[16] And I will set fire in Matsraym, absolute pain is Sayn, and Na it will be rent asunder, and Nap is distressed day by day.
[17] The choice men of ‘On and Pay-Basath, by the sword will they fall, and these into captivity will they go.
[18] And in Thakh-pa-nakhas, darkened is the day when I break there the yokes of Matsraym, and I will cause to cease in her the pride of her strength: as for it, a cloud will cover it and its daughters into captivity they will go.
[19] And I will execute judgments in Matsraym, and they will know that I am YA’OH.

COMMENTARY
Please read verses 10 and 13 very carefully. These verses appear to predict the total destruction of Matsraym (Egypt) and the end of native Egyptian rule by the army of Nabo-chadar-atsar (Nebuchadnezzar II) king of Babylon. Yet the historical King Nebuchadnezzar II did not destroy ancient Egypt and bring native rule to an end. The pharaohs of the 26th Dynasty continued to reign and prosper in Egypt long after the time of Nebuchadnezzar II.
You have two options to choose from at this point:
(1) You must say that Ya’oh-khazak-al (Ezekiel) was a false prophet, because he spoke in the name of YA’OH and what he said would happen to Egypt in the days of Nebuchadnezzar II in the 6th-century BCE did not happen.
– OR –
(2) You must say that YA’OH is only allowing His servant Ya’oh-khazak-al (Ezekiel) to look like he is a false prophet when in fact he is not. His prophecy is a parable and he was not talking about ancient Egypt in reality. He was talking about the strongest nation ever to exist on earth, i.e. the United State of America, the corollary of ancient Egypt, the corollary of ancient Assyria, and the corollary of ancient Babylon.
Nor was he literally talking about Nebuchadnezzar II in this parable. The king who destroys the modern-day empire in the north country is really a Ya’oh-shar-alay (Israelite), one from the captivity of Ya’oh-shar-al brought by ships to that land during the trans-atlantic slave trade.
He is the man called “Dod” the Prince and the Shepherd in many places in the book of Ya’oh-khazak-al (in 34:24-25; 37:24-25; 44:3; 45:7-8, 16-17, 22; 46:2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 17-18; and 48:21-22). He is also called “Dod, the Branch of Righteousness” in Yaram-Ya’oh (Jeremiah) 23:5; 30:9; 33:15-26; Zachar-Ya’oh (Zechariah) 3:8; 6:12-13; and Hoshai (Hosea) 3:5.
His other names are “Chorash” in Yashai-Ya’oh (Isaiah) 44:28-45:1; and the “Ravenous Bird” in Yashai-Ya’oh 46:11, the destroyer of prophetic end-time Babylon in Yashai-Ya’oh 48:14. The prophet Ya’oh-khazak-al uses the name “Nebuchadnezzar” in this parable to confuse the wicked because they are not meant to understand what he is really saying.
If you believe the word of YA’OH is true then option 2 is your only choice.
The names of places in the parable were the names of real places in ancient Egypt, but the prophet is not talking about those actual places in his parable. He is talking about the corollaries and equivalents of those places within the United States of America, i.e. Matsraym mashnah (Egypt the second).
The slave ships brought the nation of Ya’oh-shar-al (Israel) to the Americas in the New World during the trans-atlantic slave trade to fulfill Thorah 5 (Deuteronomy) 28:68, and now the bulk of the nation is living within the United States of America and a remnant commenced a second Exodus out of that land to the wilderness in the far east in 2023.
The United States of America is divided into four major geographical zones: Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. When the prophet names Matsraym, Chosh (Ethiopia), and Lob (Libya), and Lod (Lydia) in the parable in verse 5 he is talking about these four zones. Pathros is the Northeast zone, Chosh is the South zone, Libya is the Midwest zone, and Lod is the West zone.
The “mixed people” are the various nationalities in America, including the native Americans.
The term “Chob” (Chub) is a reference to the English. The ancient Egyptian diet in terms of meat was primarily fish for the common population, largely because livestock was expensive and certain animals were considered sacred and held religious significance. While the Egyptian elite had access to beef and other meats, fish was the main source of animal protein for most people.
The European colonists in North America—specifically in the Thirteen Colonies that became the United States—were primarily of English descent, especially during the 17th century. The word “Chob” is an English word that the European colonists from England introduced to America, and it means fish. Like ancient Egypt, fish was the main source of protein in New England.
The “children of the earth” in alliance with Matsraym are all the foreign trading partners of the United States.
The corollary to the “Tower of Sonah” (Syene/Aswan/Elephantine) in ancient Egypt would be the most populous city in the United States. This is New York City with its Freedom Tower and a population exceeding 8 million residents.
“Nap” (Noph) was the name of Memphis, the religious capital of ancient Egypt. In the United States of America, the corollary is Memphis, Tennessee, which is considered a significant religious hub in the U.S., often identified as a key part of the “Bible Belt”. Memphis, Tennessee is also known and recognized internationally as the hub of music IDOLS and IMAGES, the home of blues, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll.
“Pathros” was identified as Upper Egypt, spanning the Nile Valley from just south of Memphis up to the border fortress at Aswan (Syene). It represents the “southern land” (Egyptian: p;-t;-rsy), distinct from Lower Egypt (the Delta) and is frequently associated with the Thebaid region. The corollary in the United States is the Northeast zone or New England with the Thirteen Colonies, and specifically Virginia, which is the “nativity” of the U.S. because it was the first of the Thirteen Colonies.
“Tsain” (Zoan/Tjanu) was the captial city of the 1st Dynasty in ancient Egypt. The corollary of this in the United States of America is Washington, D.C. (Babal).
“Na” (No/Thebes) was the primary city in Pathros in ancient Egypt and the corollary to this place in the United States is Richmond, Virginia.
“Sayn (Sin), the strength of Matsraym” was Pelusium in ancient Matsraym, the main defensive point against invasions from Asia, and thus a recurring target of attack by foreign powers. The corollary of this in the United States of America is New Jersey, the “Crossroads of the American Revolution,” because it was the site of over 600 battles and skirmishes, which is more than any other colony during the war. New Jersey saw more battles, skirmishes, and military engagements than any other state in the union.
“The choice men of ‘On and Pay-Basath,” were the cities of Dendera and Bubastis in ancient Matsraym. The city of ‘On (Dendera) was the center of cow worship. The corollary to this place in the United States is Texas, often refered to as the “Beef Capital of the World”.
“Pay-Basath/Pi-Beseth” (Bubastis) was the center of cat worship in ancient Matsraym. The corollary to this place in the United States is Florida, which is frequently cited as one of the most, if not the most, cat-friendly states in the U.S.
Notice how the prophet calls “Chosh” (Ethiopia) “carefree” in verse 9. This has nothing to do with literal Ethiopians in Africa. The parable is talking about the southern states south of the Mason-Dixon line (Delaware, Maryland, and those further south) which were historically characterized as “secure” and “carefree” for the white planter class due to an agricultural economy built on slave labor. The aristocratic society of the antebellum South is where white, wealthy, land-owning men maintained a “carefree” lifestyle of leisure supported by the forced labor of enslaved OMPP.
“Thakh-pa-nakhas” (Daphne/Tahpanhes) in ancient Matsraym was the site of the royal house of Pharaoh Psammetichus I (664–610 BCE) and where he maintained a residence for himself when he was not at Sais, the official capital and seat of the 26th Dynasty. The corollary to this in the United States of America is Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. This is the primary residence of “Haylal” (Donald J. Trump) when he is not at the White House in Washington, D.C. (Babal). Even though Florida is already on the hit list, “Thakh-pa-nakhas” is singled out last as a special target of the wrath of YA’OH when the Day of YA’OH arrives.
If all of these localities are the literal places that once existed in ancient Egypt (Matsraym), then the prophecy is a false one because none of this happened in the days of Nebuchadnezzar II in the 6th-century BCE.
Do your own research and see for yourself that there are no destruction layers at these sites in Egypt dating to the Neo-Babylonian period. But if these localities are mentioned in the parable because of their modern-day equivalents in the United States of America, the modern-day Egypt/Babylon/Assyria, then hell on earth is just around the corner for that northern country, way more hell than even it is currently bringing to Iran’s doorstep.
His name is YA’OH
Always has been. Always will be.
