It took me about 3 minutes to read this chapter that speaks of God's coming punishment and then blessing of the people of Egypt. It was Egypt's army who struck down King Josiah and Egypt's ruler who set up Eliakim as his puppet king. Egypt had no regard for Israel and God sought to fix that. The promise God made to Egypt was much like the promise he had made to Judah; after his judgement is meted out on Egypt Gos will open a way for them to come back and worship him. God is always working to bring people back to his covenant.

I've tried reading the Bible through in a year. It's hard. That's a good idea to write down what you've been learning. - Bob
