The self-Importance of the State of Israel in this world is not what God has for them through the humility of Jesus Christ.

Spiritual corruption against the house of the Lord is brought on by leaders over the people.
At the door of the Lord’s house are corrupt leaders over the people. “Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the East Gate of the Lord’s house, which faces eastward; and there at the door of the gate were twenty-five men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.” Ezekiel 11:1

The front door of the temple of God faces the East Gate, and that is where the twenty-five men were. They are the followers of Jaazaniah, who corrupted the leadership of the Israelites. They were corrupted by the incitement of sensual and sexual carnal desires to lead them away from God. Pelatiah was in league with Jaazaniah.

The East Gate of the Lord’s house represents the gate of our spirit and soul, leading into the presence of God. As we enter into the presence of God, our body becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit. By giving our life to Jesus Christ on the altar of our soul, we enter into the presence of God by the Holy Spirit. We are living in times when the gate of the spirit and soul is being corrupted.

Our soul and spirit are being corrupted by the enflaming of carnal desires. By arousing carnal desires, a war is declared on the Spirit, which leads to the hardening of the human spirit to Jesus Christ. “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” Galatians 5:16-18

With the corruption of the spirit, a person becomes receptive to the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. By what they say and do they oppose God, discard the need for Jesus Christ, and oppress the Holy Spirit. The Israelis are corrupted by this entity. People everywhere conform to the anti-Christian global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Wicked Counsel is given at the door of the Lord’s house. “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give wicked counsel in this city…” Ezekiel 11:2

The Jewish leaders gave wicked counsel to their people 2000 years ago to reject Jesus Christ and demand that He be crucified and for a rebel and a murderer named Barabbas to be released. “But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”…Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.” Matthew 27:20-21, 26

To this day, the Jewish people reject Jesus Christ, and the land of Israel is filled with rebellion, bloodshed, and murder.

Today, spiritually wicked counsel is coming from leadership in every city around the world. This counsel leads people to welcome the entity that gives them what to feel, think, say, and do. People are pressured to put aside belief in God the creator, to reject the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and to oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. Instead of building the person up through the spirit and conscience, this entity hardens a person against the Spirit of Christ to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through them. The masses of people in every city around the world are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. Barabbas has been released into the world as Jesus Christ is being rejected, and this leads to social chaos, lawlessness, and global tribulation.

People are convinced not to build the house of the lord. “…who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses; this city is the caldron, and we are the meat….” Ezekiel 11:3

Israel has put the esteem of being a Jewish nation above the esteem of building the house of the Lord. They put the State of Israel (the caldron) above the need of building their house (spirit and soul) as the home of the Holy Spirit. They have the attitude that their Jewish identity is the “meat” in the pot of stew. Being Jewish to them is more important than acknowledging Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. If they were to become Christian, the State of Israel would no longer exist because it would no longer be Jewish. Christians do not have a nation on this earth to call our own, our nation is the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth.

The world government and its global culture are also saying that this is not the time to build spiritual houses, their world is the pot, and the global culture is the meat in the stew. They believe their government is the best of the best of all governments throughout history because they have power over physiology. They have the masses of people of the world choosing to welcome the entity that governs through their mind and feelings. Jesus Christ is being crucified as Barabbas is being released.

Prophecy spoken against the spiritually wicked leaders of the people. “Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man!” Ezekiel 11:4

The prophesy against Israel is that they refuse to humble themselves to surrender their Jewish identity to conform to the will of God. The will of God is for the Israelis to receive Jesus Christ as their Messiah and to adopt the Christian identity. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:” John 1:12 The Jewish people are not the children of God, but those who receive Jesus Christ are, “…but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise  is not from men but from God.” Romans 2:29

The Lord is aware of the thoughts pulling us away from Him and Israel falls from the Lord’s favor.
The Lord is aware of the thoughts coming into the mind of the people. “Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me, “Speak! ‘Thus says the Lord: “Thus you have said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.” Ezekiel 11:5

The Lord God knows that the Jewish people think that surrendering their identity to become Christian is a crushing defeat to them. That part of their ego and pride is not able to acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior because they would lose their Jewish culture, they would lose their Jewish State of Israel. That was always the complaint the Jews had against Jesus who they accused of blasphemy and destroying their Law and Prophets. Jesus replied to them, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” Matthew 5:17-18 Jesus is the fulfillment of prophecy in that He is the Messiah which God promised to send to the Jewish people.

The Lord God knows the thoughts that come into the minds of Israelis and of people in every city around the world. He knows people everywhere are living by the entity that gives them their thoughts and He knows everything that comes to their mind. God knows those thoughts coming to mind are against Him, against receiving our identity through Jesus Christ, and against the Holy Spirit who comes by living for Jesus. He knows people are against being the home of the Holy Spirit who is given by the remission of sin through Jesus Christ.

Masses of people are spiritually slain. “You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.” Ezekiel 11:6

This verse is literally seen within the State of Israel since it was established in 1948. There have been 18 wars involving Israel since it was declared a state, including in the year 1948. Click here for a list of those wars and scroll to near the bottom of the page. The slain have been multiplied in Israel and the streets in the region have been filled with the slain.

The slain also refers to those within the global city of this planet. These include the spiritually slain who reject the body as the home of the Holy Spirit and live for the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say. The Israelis are among those slain as they fill the streets to riot and protest for their government to conform to the will of the goals of the global government of the beast. The Israelis unite with global culture. A day is coming when the world government and its global culture will experience the horrific events of the Seven Trumpets and Seven Plagues. The streets will be filled with the slain.

The State of Israel is pulled apart from the Lord’s favor. “Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this city is the caldron; but I shall bring you out of the midst of it.” Ezekiel 11:7

We know God does not bring those who are dead to Him, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit out of a bad situation into a better one. At this point, the slain lay in the midst of Israel. Having the slain as the meat in the stew is a horrid picture of what the State of Israel has become and will become. In that horrid condition, God is going to bring the Israelis out of the land of Israel, and they will no longer have any part with the State of Israel. They will lose all control and governing rights.

God has provided the Jewish people a way out of their horrid situation, that way is through Jesus Christ, “…whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:15-16

As Israelites, the Ten Commandments were given to them when the world around them didn’t have that Godly guidance. They were the meat within the pot of stew (what is stew without meat?), or the salt of the earth before the coming of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, they always demanded more, they wanted their own land and king. They were always rebellious to the will of God. They died to the will of God and rejected Jesus Christ, leaving their spiritually and physically slain laying across the globe and in the State of Israel.

What happens to the Jewish people around the world, what we see happening to the State of Israel today, and what will happen to them in the coming days will happen to the world government and its global culture. The judgment of God that is coming against Israel will come against this present world system. The world government and its global culture will lose all control over this world, and Jesus Christ comes back as the Lord of lords and King of kings. Jesus Christ is the only way, the only truth, and only life.

The State of Israel will never be a functional part of the world culture.
The fear of being cut off from the world is met with being cut off from God. “You have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you,” says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 11:8

The Israelites have feared the sword, meaning they felt vulnerable to the vicious nations around them as they were living like nomads in tents. They felt like they needed their own land with borders and a king to lead them, like all the other nations. At the demand of the Israelites, and against the will of God, Saul was made the first king of Israel, with tragic results. “…they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice. Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, and said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.” 1 Samuel 8:3-5

The Israelites abandoned the Ten Commandments then demanded to have a land and king of their own. Today, they have had the State of Israel since 1948 and are like all the other nation. We see the sword coming against them that they have always feared. Practically from the first day that they got their own land and king in the State of Israel, they have been in 18 wars to this day. Click here for a list of those wars and scroll to near the bottom of the page.

Jesus Christ says to all of us, “Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.” Luke 17:33

Today, many people fear living for Jesus Christ because of the sword that is brought against them by the global culture. When we decide to dedicate our body to the Holy Spirit, we are going to experience hostilities of every type and be cut off from the social network. The government of the beast insist that we dedicate our body to the entity that gives us our thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. Even so, if we fear the sword, the sword of God’s judgment comes against us.

Today, we see the sword coming against the global culture of the beast through global warming. Global warming is the Fourth Plague and is instrumental in bringing the collapse of the power center of the beast in the Fifth Plague. This renders the world government of the beast and its global culture powerless, leading to the Battle of Armageddon of the Sixth Plague. Click here for the Seven Plagues. The Day of the Lord comes to bring the return of Jesus Christ.

The State of Israel is removed from world favor and God’s judgments are brought. “And I will bring you out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and execute judgments on you.” Ezekiel 11:9

The State of Israel has already been pulled out of the midst of the caldron. That caldron is a pot filled with the culture of the Jewish people, and in the Old Testament times they were the standard bearers of the word of God. They were once the meat in the stew of the pot. They were in a pot filled with the Ten Commandments. They were the salt of the earth before the coming of Jesus Christ and held exclusive rights to be called the children of God. Today, the slain lay in that pot. They turned from the will of God when they rejected Jesus Christ, and now the Jewish culture is filled with the spiritually slain.

Because of the rejection of Jesus Christ, God brings the Jewish people out of the pot that once set them apart as God’s special people. They are being delivered into the hands of strangers and God’s judgments are being executed against them. Strangers refer to people who do not serve the God of Jesus Christ who infills us with the Holy Spirit. The Israelis have been in 18 wars since the year the Jewish state of Israel was established in 1948. Click here for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. Those strangers also include the many other members of the United Nations and its global culture. The land of Israel is being come against with constant wars, with international laws against them, and with global riots and protests against them.

“Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.” Ezekiel 22:19-20

The sword brings destruction at the border of Israel. “You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 11:10

For the State of Israel, falling by the sword is to be cut off from the rest of the world as well as falling by violent attacks. We have already seen how an agency of the United Nations gave support to the terrorist organization Hamas in the October 7, 2023, attack against Israel. Click the following link for a post on, 7 hours after United Nations opens case against Israel for genocide, the USA withholds funds to UN for involvement in terrorist attack against Israel.

The State of Israel is surrounded by terroristic and militant hostilities at every border. There is violence coming against Israel from the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, Iran, etc. All of these prophecies concerning Israel are happening in front of our eyes for the world to see. There is no question that we serve a living God and He is Lord.

Today, the war wages at the border of our spirit and soul. We serve our Lord Jesus Christ who makes us the temple of Holy Spirit, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16 But hostilities are present at the border coming from those who serve the one “...who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 This one lives within our body, the temple of God, through the entity giving people what to think, feel, do, and say. Click here for a post on the “man of sin”. The word of God is real, and we know that He is Lord.

This world will never be a comfortable place for the State of Israel. “This city shall not be your caldron, nor shall you be the meat in its midst. I will judge you at the border of Israel.” Ezekiel 11:11 

The State of Israel is not a caldron, pot, or comfortable little niche for the Jewish people to exist in. They are not even the meat in the stew, or said in another way, they are not the salt that preserves the Biblical heritage of the Jewish people. They are being attacked on every border of Israel and this is a direct result of not accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.

The Jewish people refused to adopt the identity of Christian and insisted on having their own Jewish nation. They rejected their Messiah in exchange to have their own land and king called the State of Israel. If the Jewish people were Christian, the Jewish State of Israel would never have existed. As Christians, we do not have a nation on this earth to call our own, our nation is the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth.

This world will never be a caldron, or niche, for the Jewish people to rest in. There is no place they can run or hide to escape the judgment of God coming against them. The judgment of God comes against the Israelis and all the Jewish people by the hand of the world government and its global culture.

This world system welcomes the entity of Satan that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say and hates the house of Israel, Christianity, God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The Satanic entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Judgment comes for not living for God through Jesus Christ. “And you shall know that I am the Lord; for you have not walked in My statutes nor executed My judgments, but have done according to the customs of the Gentiles which are all around you.” Ezekiel 11:12

The Israelites habitually walked away from the Ten Commandments to adopt the customs of the Gentile nations around them. The Gentiles were the non-Jewish nations who didn’t have a clue what the Ten Commandments were and didn’t want to know. The following verse describes the Gentiles inviting the Jewish people into their customs, “They invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel.” Numbers 25:1-3 That puts in focus this verse, “…they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice. Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, and said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.” 1 Samuel 8:3-5

Today, the whole world sees how the Israelis have left their Biblical heritage to follow the customs of the global culture. They have the most liberal abortion rights in the world, they welcome the promotion of the LGBQT lifestyles etc. News Stations are more than happy to televise the protests and riots of the Israelis against their own government, the State of Israel. They are demanding that the government of Israel conform to the goals and culture of the global government.

The Israelis and every person in this world are called to live by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Instead, they live by the customs/culture of this world which is to welcome the entity giving them what to say, do, feel, and think. This entity enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through them to put the masses of people on the same “sheet of music” all around the world. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Our Lord Jesus Christ prays for us, “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.” John 17:15-19

The Jewish people choose to be their own nation over the will of God.
At the word of the Lord a prominent leader of the people falls dead. “Now it happened, while I was prophesying, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah, Lord God! Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel?” Ezekiel 11:13

Ezekiel was prophesying about the Israelites no longer being the meat in the pot of stew referring to their exclusive relationship with God. Ezekiel was saying that the Israelites would no longer be any different from any other nation around them. They would be totally void of the Ten Commandments, spiritually corrupt, and no longer a window into the will of the living God. While speaking those words, a prominent leader of the Israelites, exposed to the lifestyles of carnal indulgence, died. At that time, Ezekiel was concerned if anyone was left who would return to the will of God. He cried out, “Ah, Lord God! Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel?”

As followers of Jesus Christ, upon hearing about and seeing the behavior of the Israelis on news broadcasts, we cry out with Ezekiel, “Ah, Lord God! Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel?” It’s horrid to see the heritage of the Israelites protesting and rioting for the State of Israel to conform to the will of the global government of the beast. They have decided to live by the entity of this world that gives them what to do, say, feel, and think.

 “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8 The “him” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast. Our name is entered into the Lamb’s Book of Life according to this promise, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

The entire Jewish population have rejected the will of God to have their own nation. “Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, your brethren, your relatives, your countrymen, and all the house of Israel in its entirety, are those about whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Get far away from the Lord; this land has been given to us as a possession.'” Ezekiel 11:14-15

The entire population of the Israelis are far from the Lord. They desire to have the earthly nation of the State of Israel for their possession instead of clinging to the will of God for them to live for Jesus Christ. In their heart and attitude, they say,” ‘Get far away from the Lord; this land has been given to us as a possession.’”

The will of God for the Israelis is for them to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah, Lord, and Savior. To become Christians, they would have to humble themselves and no longer exalt their Jewish culture above the Lord Jesus Christ. If the Jewish people would have acknowledged Jesus Christ as their Messiah 2000 years ago, the Jewish State of Israel would not exist today. They would be Christians.

If the State of Israel did not exist, and the Jewish people were Christians, then none of the 18 wars since 1948 would have ever happened. Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. Also, there would be no Israel to batter and terrorize from the Gaza Strip, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iran, etc. In other words, if the Jewish people would have accepted Jesus Christ as their Messiah, then they would not be experiencing the wrath of God’s judgment coming against them today.

If the Jewish people would have accepted Jesus Christ, for 2000 years they would have been putting the Old Testament customs behind them, they would be inter-marrying with Christians of every race, and they would no longer be Jewish but Christians. “…but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.” Romans 2:29 The parable of Jacob’s spotted sheep is the Holy Spirit revealing to us that God’s family is not purely the Jewish people. His family is a mix of Jewish people and non-Jewish sharing a family together in Jesus Christ.

With Jesus, the desire of the Jewish people to have their own land and own king would have ended over two thousand years ago. The Israelis could have been like us Christians that exist all around the world, without our own nation. Our nation is the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth. Unfortunately, they wanted their own land and own king which now they have and have had since 1948. That is where they face God’s judgments for not acknowledging Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

The Israelites were scattered across the globe, but God is a little sanctuary for them. “Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Although I have cast them far off among the Gentiles, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet I shall be a little sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone.” Ezekiel 11:16

Before 1948, when the State of Israel was declared the official home of the Jewish people, they were scattered everywhere across the globe. From the eastern hemisphere to the western. We especially know of how they were scattered across Europe before WW2 and the horror they endured within the Holocaust. Even during that time, when they were not together as a Jewish nation, God was a little sanctuary to them. They were not left totally without some comfort; they were not totally wiped from the face of the earth.

The picture to the left is the land of Israel during the Old Testament. The picture in the middle is when the Jewish people no longer laid any exclusive claim to the land of Israel as a Jewish nation. That area had long been desolate of Jewish rule/occupation from about 70AD (During the Roman Empire) to 1948. The picture to the right is how the land of Israel is today after the Jewish people were “brought back from the sword” to regather as a Jewish nation in 1948.

God is a little sanctuary to every person scattered across the globe who serve Him through Jesus Christ. The will of God is not for Christians to have their own nation, but to live in every city of the nations through Him. “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” John 17:15-6

God’s will for the Jewish people is to be Christians. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”” Matthew 23:37 The will of God is to gather us into the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth through Jesus Christ. The will of God is not to gather us as a nation in this present heaven and earth.

The Jewish people are gathered from abroad and given the land of Israel.
The Jewish people were gathered into the land of Israel. “Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.”’  Ezekiel 11:17

The Lord God gathered the Jewish people in 1948 from all across the globe to give them a land and a king called the State of Israel. Why did He do this? Because as He said in the first verses of this chapter, “…for I know the things that come into your mind.” Ezekiel 11:5 At that time, God knew the Jewish people wanted to be together as a Jewish family, a family that rejected His Son Jesus Christ as their Messiah. They repeated the same words as the Israelites before them who wanted to be like the other nations instead of living in the will of God, “Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.” 1 Samuel 8:5

The Jewish people were gathered to the State of Israel just two years after the United Nations was established in 1945-46. The UN was established immediately after WW2 and brought the government of the beast with it as explained in Daniel 8. This would be the beginning of God’s judgments against Israel, as there has been 18 wars involving Israel since 1948. There was even a war in 1948. Click here for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.

The Jewish people were to occupy the State of Israel and clear it of worldly influences. “And they will go there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.” Ezekiel 11:18 

When the Jewish people gathered to the State of Israel, they conformed their territory to the customs of their Jewish culture. They took everything away that was detestable and an abomination according to their Jewish customs. That is how the State of Israel became so much different from all the nations around them. The nations around them are mostly followers of Islam/Muslims.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are looking forward to being gathered into the eternal New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth. That is a place where there will be no detestable or abominable thing, no more sin, but we live in perfect Holiness. We will live in the presence of God and His Son Jesus Christ.

The Jewish people were to be of one heart with a new spirit in Israel. “Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh…” Ezekiel 11:19

There was no greater joy for the Jewish people than to have their own land and king to return to after the horrors of WW2 and being scattered since about 70AD to 1948. The gathering to the State of Israel was a revival for them as God put a new spirit within them. They were all of one heart, one people, Jewish people. They shared the same genetics, the same family tree, and of the same nationality. They were removed from the hardness of the world and put among their own people where God gave them a heart of flesh.

However, God makes us of one heart and of a new spirit through Jesus Christ, not by sharing the same blood line or genetics, or being one nationality, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13 The Holy Spirit removes the stony heart from us and gives us a human heart of flesh as we are infilled with the Holy Spirit and given a new spirit.

The Jewish people were to live by the word of God in Israel. “…that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.” Ezekiel 11:20

The Jewish people were gathered to the State of Israel where they would continue to walk according to their Jewish customs. Even then, God requires them to accept Jesus Christ as the Word made flesh in order to continue their standing as the children of God, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12 Even today, the Jewish people will continue to be God’s people in the same way a rebellious, unruly, and runaway child is to a parent.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we walk in the statutes of God and keep His judgments according to His will. “And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:40 We who come to God through Jesus Christ are His people and He is our God.

The Jewish people who live by the standards of this world will suffer the judgment of God. “But as for those whose hearts follow the desire for their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their deeds on their own heads,” says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 11:21

As we see the Jewish people of today, they continue to have a heart that rejects Jesus Christ as their Messiah. In fact, they have discarded the entire Gospel of Christ from their Bible. They live by the Old Testament and have tossed aside the entire New Testament. They follow the desire for their detestable and abominable Jewish practices that separate them from Jesus Christ. To be separated from Christ is to be separated from God and to be separated from God is to be living in sin. They oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit who leads them and us to Jesus Christ. God will recompense their spiritual wickedness on their own heads.

Also, we see the Israelis welcoming the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people and it detests Israel, Christianity, God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. By what they say and do, the Israelis riot and protest for their government (the State of Israel) to conform to the will of the United Nations/world government of the beast. They share the abominable and detestable desires of the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. God is bringing the fury of His judgment on their own heads.

As the Holy Spirit speaks through Paul, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

The Holiness of the word of God is sent to those in captivity.
The guardians of Holiness lift up their wings and wheels. “So the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high above them.” Ezekiel 11:22

After Ezekiel spoke the words of prophecy given to him from God, the cherubim lifted up their wings with the wheels beside them. The cherubim are the guardians of Holiness, and they are associated with the word of God given to Ezekiel. What is spoken against the State of Israel, and any blessing that comes their way, is from God’s Holiness. Holiness is the nemesis of spiritual wickedness, and spiritual wickedness is the ugliness we see in the world.

The glory of God is far above the cherubim because the work of Holiness happens here on earth within the spirit and soul of people. God is high above the space station and every space satellite in existence. God is in the third heaven. The first heaven is the blue sky we see over us, the second heaven is space, and the third heaven is beyond space where God lives. Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, spoke of seeing the third heaven in 2 Corinthians 12:1-5. “Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:” Ephesians 1:21

The glory of the Lord goes up from the city and stands on the east mountain. “And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain, which is on the east side of the city.” Ezekiel 11:23

The glory of the Lord stands apart from this world and the State of Israel. This glory is on the east side, which is the side leading into the temple of God. The east side represents the area of our soul and spirit made to receive the glory of God through His Son Jeus Christ. God stands apart from us in this world waiting for us to receive His Son Jesus Christ who gives us the Holy Spirit. God wants us to be the temple of the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit sends a messenger to those in captivity. “Then the Spirit took me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those in captivity. And the vision that I had seen went up from me.” Ezekiel 11:24

The Spirit of God leads us to those in captivity as we carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them. Those in captivity are captive to sin and death, and God wants to set them free by the testimony of His Son Jesus. “Jesus answered them, Truly truly I say to you that whoever commits sin, is the servant of sin. And the servant does not abide in the house forever. But the Son abides forever. If the Son therefore makes you free, then you are free indeed.” John 8:34-36

The messenger speaks the word of God to those in captivity. “So I spoke to those in captivity of all the things the Lord had shown me.” Ezekiel 11:25

As followers of Jesus Christ, our desire is to share His Gospel, which is this, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
