Who is the haftarah's audience?

In this conversation with Dr. Yael Ziegler, we discuss the possible goals of prophecies directed at other nations, a common genre utilized by most of Israel's major prophets. This week's Haftorah is lifted from Yechezkel's prophecies against Egypt, predicting the downfall of the kingdom by Babylonian hands. This week's episode has been sponsored by Rabbi Michael and Jeri Laxmeter for the Refuah Shleimah of their granddaughter Avigayil Sara bat Shaina Ahrona. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.
