God's Sovereign Judgment
Commentators emphasize that the destruction of Egypt is not a random political event. The invading Chaldean army is described as a "sword" with a "commission from the Lord" and an "instrument" of His destruction. This shows that God is sovereign over the affairs of nations, even using one wicked nation to execute judgment upon another. As Matthew Henry notes, "The Lord is known by the judgments he executes."
