Ezekiel 30:1 Summary
[This verse tells us that Ezekiel received another message from God, which means God is still speaking and guiding His people. In simple terms, it's like getting a new letter from a friend - it's a fresh communication. This reminds us that God is always active and wanting to communicate with us, as seen in Jeremiah 33:3 and Psalm 119:105. Ezekiel's experience encourages us to listen for God's voice in our lives, just as we would listen to a friend or family member.]

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 30:1
CHAPTER XXX This chapter describes, with great force and elegance, the ruin of Egypt and all her allies by the Chaldeans under Nebuchadnezzar, 1-11; with an amplification of the distress of the principal cities of Egypt on that occasion, 12-19. The remaining verses are a short prophecy relating to the same event, and therefore annexed to the longer one preceding, although this was predicted sooner, 20-26. NOTES ON CHAP. XXX
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 30:1
Third prophecy Ezek. 30:1-19 against Egypt, probably to be connected with the previous verses (compare Ezekiel 30:10 with the Ezekiel 29:17-21 note). Some consider it to belong to the earlier part of Ezek.
