Amon was a fertility god worshiped in Thebes, the capital of Southern Egypt. Amon's idol, shaped like a ram, symbolized the sun. The Egyptians believed this god was very powerful. However, like all other Egyptian deities, it would be destroyed by the all-powerful God of Israel. The Pharaoh, who claimed to be the son of the sun-god, would face the same fate.
Egypt will be inhabited: In 601 BC, Nebuchadnezzar attacked Egypt, caused great damage, and then withdrew. He invaded the land again in 568 to 567 BC (Jeremiah 43:8–13; Ezekiel 29:19).
