Explained for Children

Imagine you have a really big tower made of blocks. It looks strong, but someone says, 'This tower will fall.' That's like what God is saying about Egypt. Even though Egypt thinks it's strong, God says it will fall down, just like your tower would if you knocked it over.

Historical Background

Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this verse around 592 BC. He was speaking to the Jewish exiles and others, predicting Egypt's downfall. At that time, Egypt was considered a powerful nation, but God was showing that even such strength could be broken.

Living It Out Today
