09/24/20 THE GREATNESS OF OUR GOD #15 — Ezekiel 31:1-2 (CSB) says, “In the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: 2 Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes, ‘Who are you like in your GREATNESS?’”

The prophet compared Egypt to a huge tree that dominates a forest like a king and nation that dominates the world. Just as a strong tree like Assyria fell (~609 bc), so will Egypt (~568 bc). Lest the Egyptians tend to be proud and feel invincible, let them remember how powerful Assyria had fallen already at God’s command.

These days our best hope for eliminating Covid-19, violent riots in our cities and political unrest does NOT lie in the “greatness” of any political party or candidate, the medical professionals or even “science.” We need to appeal to the mercy of Almighty God, Whose true GREATNESS is unparalleled.
