✦ MADE SIMPLE

So here's what the Lord God is saying: I'm handing Egypt over to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. He's going to take everything — the people, the treasure, all of it. Think of it as payment for his army's work.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes God uses one nation's power to accomplish his plans with another — it's all part of his bigger picture.
