Ezequiel 30:3

3 Pois o dia está próximo,o dia do SENHOR está próximo;será dia de nuvens,uma época de condenação para as nações.

Ezequiel 30:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 30:3

For the day is near
The day of Egypt's destruction, the time fixed for it: even the day of the Lord is near;
the day appointed by him, and in which he would make himself known by the judgments he executed: Kimchi observes, that, the same year this prophecy was delivered, Egypt was given into the hands of the king of Babylon: a cloudy day;
or; "a day of cloud" F5; which was seldom seen in Egypt in a literal sense, rarely having any rain, their country being watered by the Nile; but now, in a figurative sense, the clouds would gather thick and black, and threaten with a horrible tempest of divine wrath, and of ruin and destruction: it shall be the time of the Heathen:
both when the Heathen nation of the Chaldeans should distress and conquer others; and when Heathen nations, as the Egyptians, Ethiopians, and others, should be destroyed by them. The Targum is,

``it shall be the time of the breaking or destruction of the people.''
