Prophecies Against Ammon, Moab, Edom, and Philistia

In this section, God commands Ezekiel to prophesy against the nations surrounding Israel. These nations rejoiced over Israel’s troubles and took advantage when Jerusalem fell. God announces judgment against Ammon, Moab, Edom, and Philistia for their hostility and cruelty toward His people. Each nation will face punishment that matches their actions, showing that God is just and sovereign over all nations, not just Israel. These prophecies are both a warning to the enemies of God’s people and a comfort to Israel that God sees their suffering and will make things right.

v. 1: The word of the Lord comes to Ezekiel, telling him to set his face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them (Ezekiel 25:1-2 ^a). God wants Ezekiel to let the Ammonites know that their actions have not gone unnoticed and that judgment is coming.

v. 2-5: God tells Ezekiel to declare that because the Ammonites rejoiced over the destruction of the temple and the land of Israel, they will face punishment. God will give their land to the people of the East (probably the Babylonians), who will set up their camps and live there. The capital city, Rabbah, will become a pasture for camels, and the land of Ammon will become a resting place for flocks. The Ammonites will know that God is the Lord when He judges them for their mocking and cruelty (Ezekiel 25:3-5 ^b).
