Egypt's Judgment

    God spoke to Ezekiel about the Cedars of Lebanon.  They came from the most beautiful forest in abundance of extremely large trees.  There was nothing in the world to compare to quality and beauty from those cedars.  However, due to the wickedness of the world that beauty was destroyed.  God never allowed such beauty every be recreated.  If He had, we would have just destroyed it.

    The trees of Lebanon represented the  Pharaoh's wealth that was destroyed and never able to be replenished.  The Prominence of the nation was cut down in a way that it would never fully be able to rebuild.  Pharaoh and his people were doomed.  Their judgment was a cause for mourning.  As the magnificent trees fell, so did the Egyptian nation to their death in disgrace.  They did not receive a decent burial.  God destroyed all their thoughts of a comfortable afterlife according to their beliefs.
