Prophet Pearls #14-Vaera
Ezekiel 28:25-29:21
January 16, 2015
This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is Ezekiel 28:25–29:21. It accompanies the Torah portion Va’era’ (Exodus 6:2–9:35).
Echoing the theme of the Torah portion, this passage speaks of the punishment of Egypt, this time at the hands of the Babylonians. The punishment is attributed to the Pharaoh’s extreme arrogance and self-deification, as well as Egypt’s unreliable support of Israel. This Haftorah also reiterates God’s promise to regather his scattered people and restore the kingdom of Israel. Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
If you would like to listen to Keith and Nehemia discuss the Torah portions that correlate to the Prophet portions here are the original Torah Pearls programs recorded in 2011-2012.

10th, 27th & 40 Years of Egypt
This seems to be the answer for the YEAR references in Ezekiel.
The 10th year refers to the CAPTIVITY years.
I have a timeline tracking the Years of the Captivity, Exile, Kings, & Prophets
So it is obvious when you put the Prophets together.
Ezekiel, Jeremiah & Daniel overlapped dates.
I would love some feedback and will stand corrected by any other insight.
Neb Yr 36 / Captivity Yr 27th / BC 570 / Month 12 Day 1
Exe 29:13, 17
Nebuchadnezzar conquers Egypt
Egypt is given to Babylon in the 27th Year, 12th Month & 1st day.
40 Years (27 + 40 yr Prophecy = 67)
Belshazzar 1st Yr / Captivity Yr 44 / BC 553
Darius 1st Yr / Captivity Yr 48 / BC 549 / Dan 9-70 Yr
Vision
Darius 20th / Exile Yr 67 / BC 530 /Jer 29:17 40 Yr End
So approximately 3 years to the 70 years and End of Israel’s Captivity
Cyrus comes in and sets Israel free and I’m guessing Egypt is left alone to re-gather?
Cyrus 1st Yr / Captivity Yr 70 / BC 527
I stand corrected if any other information I may have missed will correct this.
Shalom to all and great Prophet Pearl

Posting on behalf of our faithful friend Vicky:
Listening to the Pearls has been such a blessing! I have been studying Ancient Hebrew
and here is what I came up with the number 40. Aleph/(Ox’s head, Leader, Power, actually always refers back to God), Resh (Head of a man, first person,highest), Bet,(tent, house),
Ayin, (eye, insight) Yod, (hand , work done) Mem (water, the word, chaos)
Here is what I came up with: Yehovah who is the head of house has His eye through out all ages completed.
Just thought I would share! We will keep praying for all of you!
