Two young girls groomed to desire sensual pleasure more than God.
The Israelites and Jewish people of today are the two daughters of the Jewish culture. “The word of the Lord came again to me, saying: “Son of man, there were two women, The daughters of one mother.” Ezekiel 23:1-2

In this chapter of Ezekiel, we see that the mother of the two sisters is the Jewish culture. One sister corresponds to the rebellious life of the Israelites before the coming of Jesus Christ. The other sister corresponds to the rebellious life of the Jewish people after the coming of Jesus Christ. The Jewish people are compared to the Israelites because they both have turned from the will of God for them to live by the word of Jesus Christ. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:1-2,14

The Israelites and Jewish people of today both spiritually corrupted by seduction to the sensual ways of the world. “They committed harlotry in Egypt, they committed harlotry in their youth; Their breasts were there embraced, their virgin bosom was there pressed.” Ezekiel 23:3

This verse provides a window into the Egyptian culture, showing why the Israelites wanted to turn back to Egypt when they were in the wilderness, and why God was so much against the land of Egypt. The Israelites were seduced to choose the pleasures of the flesh over the will of God.

To commit harlotry in Egypt refers to the Israelites giving themselves to the customs of the Egyptians while abandoning their faithfulness to God. An Egyptian custom was to groom very young girls to be accustomed to physically sexual approaches. The young girl’s breasts were embraced, and other very private parts were pressed. This opened the door to living a full-blown carnal lifestyle of living for the desires of the flesh while abandoning the word of God. As a result, they served the Egyptian gods. After that, the Israelites continuously gave themselves to serve the carnal gods of the nations around them and discarded the Ten Commandments and other laws.

Today, we live in a world where the younger generation is taught to be receptive to physically sensual aspects of their physiology. They are taught that casual sex is normal, that the killing of the unborn is a normal part of being sexually active, and there is no need to wait for marriage. The global culture of today serves the god of this world while denying God the Creator, discarding the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and oppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit. The citizens of the State of Israel have the most liberal abortion rights laws, embrace the LGBQT lifestyles, and have no restraints against casual sexual relations.

The entity that has power over physiology is able to ignite the fire of sensuality relating to the pleasures of the flesh. These feelings are the most basic and pleasurable of all the aspects of human nature. That is why sensual grooming is the most powerful way to entice people away from life in the Spirit to live for the carnal desires of the flesh. When people begin to be motivated by sensual feelings, then the entity with power over physiology enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through them. This is done by giving them what to think and feel to influence what they say and do. The masses of the global culture have chosen to serve the creature human being instead of God the Creator. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

The Israelites were their own tabernacle, the Jewish people today were to have the tabernacle in themselves. “Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister; They were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah.” Ezekiel 23:4

The name “Oholah” means “her own tabernacle” and is the elder sister referring to the Israelites. The name “Oholibah” means “My tabernacle is in her” referring to the Jewish people after the coming of Jesus Christ. God meant for them to be the temple of the Holy Spirit by living as the followers of Jesus Christ. Also, the Israelites are referred to as the elder and first-born Exodus 4:22, and Christianity is referred to as the younger. All through the Old Testament, the “scarlet cord” reveals that the blessings of the elder is transferred to the younger, as described in Romans 9:6-13, Genesis 27, Genesis 4:1-9, Genesis 38:27-30, Genesis 48:8-20, and there was Moses the younger brother of Aaron, Exodus 7:7.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are the younger sister of the Jewish people. We are the tabernacle of God where the Holy Spirit lives in us through Jesus Christ. However, the Jewish people are their own tabernacle because they reject Jesus Christ, the giver of the Holy Spirit.

Oholah is represented as Samaria compared to Oholibah being Jerusalem. Jerusalem represents the capital of the soul where God is to reside in us by the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. Samaria represents a nation that was cursed and looked at as not being the people of God at all. This is like making a comparison between the body without the Holy Spirit and the body as the tabernacle of the Holy Spirit.

Since our body is the home of the Holy Spirit, we are not to live for the sensual and sexual enticements of the flesh. “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.” 1 Corinthians 6:12-14

We are to always give priority to the presence of the Holy Spirit over carnal pleasures. “Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Samaria is known as the one being her “own tabernacle” and Jerusalem known as the one where “My tabernacle is in her”. Looking at the map below, we see how West Jerusalem is still in Israel, but Samaria is now part of the West Bank and not part of Israel at all.

The Israelis, as their own tabernacle, lusted for prominent and influential men.
The first daughter was the Lord’s, but she lusted for her warrior lovers. “Oholah played the harlot even though she was Mine; And she lusted for her lovers, the neighboring Assyrians, who were clothed in purple, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses” Ezekiel 23:5-6

All through the Old Testament, God had always claimed the Jewish people as belonging to Him, “‘Thus says the Lord: “Israel is My son, My firstborn.” Exodus 4:22 They were set apart from the rest of the world through the Ten Commandments and other such laws. “Oholah”, the one known as her own tabernacle, belonged to God when she decided to give herself to the ways of this world. This represents the Israelites who were doing their own thing in their lust to form a bond with royalty, military power, kings, youth, and to be a strong people. She was relying on external might instead of the word of God. “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of
hosts.” Zachariah 4:6

The Israelites wanted to have a king and military to be strong like all the other nations around them. That is not what God wanted for them, as quoted, “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…And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.” 1 Samuel 8:4-5, 7 Saul was chosen as king, and he ended up being spiritually wicked and sought to murder David (a man after God’s heart).

Today, the Jewish people were established in the State of Israel in 948 because they wanted to be a nation like the other nations of this world. There, the government of Israel lusted for military might, lusted for royal prestige on a global scale as they became a member of the United Nations in 1949, lusted for talented military leaders and worldly government powers, and for youthfulness in their culture to keep them strong. They lust to be a culture of “horsemen riding on horses”.

If the Jewish people had followed the will of God for them to accept Jesus Christ, the Jewish State of Israel would never have existed. That’s because the Jewish people would have been Christian and not Jewish. As followers of Jesus, 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.

In today’s culture, people claim themselves as their own tabernacle, as a popular phrase is “my body my choice”. They reject the body as the home of the Holy Spirit and lust for worldly empowerment. Individuals are empowered by the entity that has power over physiology to grant amazing physical abilities, extraordinary talents and skills, uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, uncanny authority over others, and are highly esteemed, etc. This is the strength of the masses of the global culture, and they lust for the dignity and esteem of being royal. They lust to be the military leaders, the governors and presidents, to be youthful, and to be a show of individual and collective strength. Within their attitude, today’s culture boasts, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4

For their king, the global culture has chosen the entity that governs through their thoughts and feelings to influence words and behaviors. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

She committed harlotry with choice men and defiled herself with her lover’s idols. “Thus she committed her harlotry with them, all of them choice men of Assyria; And with all for whom she lusted, with all their idols, she defiled herself.” Ezekiel 23:7

The Israelites made a habit of joining with other cultures despite the warning of God not to do so. He knew they would abandon His word to rely on military might and to serve false gods which appealed to the beastly carnal nature of human beings. This harlotry would corrupt their relationship to God and corrode the Ten Commandments, and other such laws. They did so with the Assyrians as mentioned in this chapter. The Assyrians were noted as being fierce and skilled in making war.

This is also clearly shown in the following verses as the Israelites mixed with the Moabite women of a foreign god. They corrupted the word of God when they were sensually and sexually enticed to serve their idols, “Now Israel remained in Acacia Grove, and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab. 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 The full account begins in Numbers 22.

Today, the government of the State of Israel commits harlotry with America and other nations who are able to strengthen her with military empowerment. With that, the Israeli citizens commit harlotry with the idol of this world which is the entity that gives them what to do, say, think, and feel. Israel has the most liberal abortion rights in the world, promotes the lifestyles of the LGBQT community, etc. which are the goals of the global culture. The Israeli citizens also join the global culture in protests and riots against their own government to demand conformity to the will of the United Nations. The will of the United Nations is to be established as the one world government by supplanting the independence of Israel. Israel has defiled herself in lusting for worldly empowerment and for the false god of this world.

She was groomed sexually and never left the practices of Egypt. “She has never given up her harlotry brought from Egypt, for in her youth they had lain with her, pressed her virgin bosom, and poured out their immorality upon her.” Ezekiel 23:8

In this chapter, there is a lot of insight into the culture of the Egyptians. We know that young girls were sexually groomed and were used as sexual objects of the Egyptians. Immorality was poured out on the young Israelite girls. When God led the Israelites out of Egypt, they never gave up the harlotry that they were groomed with. Egypt also had a mighty military force that was engrained into the grooming of the Israelites. The Israelites never gave up their sensual lusts nor their lust for might and strength. They desired the way of the Egyptians while turning away from God, the Ten Commandments, and other such laws given by God.

People who want to be their own person, their own tabernacle, will follow the carnal ways of this world instead of dedicating their body as the home of the Holy Spirit. They are those with the attitude, “My body my choice”. The entity with power over physiology has power over feelings and emotions to enflame sensual and sexual desires. Through these carnal desires, people choose the ways of the flesh and discard their need for Jesus Christ. “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.” Galatians 5:17

As people choose the sensual and sexual desires of the flesh over the presence of the Holy Spirit, then the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say begins to dominate a person. This entity replaces the spirit and conscience to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through people. The masses of today’s culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do outside the realm of the Holy Spirit.

Today’s culture claims to be living by righteous goals and are filled with churchy and humanitarian sounding words even within the heat of their indignation, riots, and protests. Humanism is the fig leaf worn to cover the entity that governs through physiology. Humanism is “…an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.”

She has been delivered into the hand of her lovers whom she lusted for. “Therefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, for whom she lusted. They uncovered her nakedness, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword; She became a byword among women, for they had executed judgment on her.” Ezekiel 23:9-10

The Israelites were overpowered and conquered by the very ones she lusted for, which were majestic in the eyes of the world, governors and rulers of all types, military leaders, authoritative, and consisted of a strong worldly culture. The nakedness of the Israelites was uncovered in that she wanted to seduce the powers that were to work for her advantage. More accurately, her nakedness was uncovered revealing her rebellion against the word of God and His laws, like the Ten Commandments. Israel was violently defeated, and her sons and daughters taken by the overpowering nation. Israel became a notorious example of what not to be and what not to do, instead of being set apart from the world to serve the Living God. The powers of this world executed judgment on her, which was according to the fury of God.

Since the State of Israel was established in 1948, she formed bonds with those she lusted for. It was a lust for those who were majestic in the eyes of the world, with military power, a strong culture, with authority in the world, and with such governors and rulers. Predominantly, that included establishing strong bonds with America, becoming a member of the United Nations in 1949, and lusting to be included in the international culture.

Unfortunately for the government of Israel, the same lovers she lusted for have turned against her and have uncovered her for all the world to see. America sides with the United Nations to prevent Israel from living in the West Bank, in an effort to coerce Israel to agree to a “Two State Solution”. Click here for news article on “White House reverses West Bank policy, calling Israeli settlements illegal“. Also, US Imposes Sanctions On Israeli Settler Outposts. That agreement is designed to whittle away the independence of Israel in the Middle East. Israel is also being worn down by the sword, being in 17 wars since 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.

America’s military aid to Israel has been taking place for 76 years, so there is no hope for peace, no escape from the judgment of God. With that, the United Nations has opened a genocide case against the government of Israel, World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel. The UN has also sought arrest warrants for Israeli government officials for allegedly committing war crimes. On top of all that, the global culture in cities around the world riot and protest against the existence of the State of Israel. Israel has no way to expand and grow in the Middle East as her fertility is taken away, her “sons” and “daughters” have been taken away.

The world powers have uncovered the nakedness of Israel for all the world to see, thanks to what is called television through the news media. Predominantly, that includes her military aggression and aggressive police action in the Middle East region. In this respect, in the eyes of this world, Israel has become a notorious example of what not to be. The uncovering of her nakedness also includes the less publicized part of Israel having the most liberal abortion rights in the world, promoting the lifestyles of the LGBQT community, etc. The news media also uncovers the actions of the Israeli citizens who riot and protest against their own government.

The fury of the judgment of God is unleashed against Israel through the hands of the world government and its global culture. God is not for the god of war that Israel has chosen over Him, nor is He for riots and protests, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’” Says the Lord of hosts.” Zachariah 4:6 God is definitely not for the killing of the unborn Ezekiel 16:1-22, nor is He for the lifestyles of the LGBQT community Romans 1:24-32. The judgment that is coming against Israel today will be coming against this world system. Global warming is already in this world, which is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9. The more powerful the United Nations becomes as the one world government, the hotter and more intense the heat of global warming becomes.

The Jewish peoples, meant to be God’s tabernacle within, is more corrupt than her Israelite sister.
Israelis became more corrupt in her lust and harlotry than the Israelites. “Now although her sister Oholibah saw this, she became more corrupt in her lust than she, and in her harlotry more corrupt than her sister’s harlotry.” Ezekiel 23:11

“ Oholibah” is a name that means, “My tabernacle in her” and she became more corrupt than her sister, “Oholah”, whose name means, “her own tabernacle”. Even though Oholibah saw the corruption of Oholah, she became even more corrupt.

Oholah represents the Israelites before the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh, before He made our body the tabernacle of the Holy Spirit. Oholiab represents the Jewish people who rejected Jesus Christ and disregarded their body as being created to be the home of the Holy Spirit. The Jewish people of today should have learned from the corruption of the Israelites, but instead, they have become even more corrupt. Jesus Christ said this to the Jewish people, “But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me…you are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” John 8:44-45

If we live by the idea of “my body my choice”, and discard that we are created by God to be the tabernacle where the Spirit lives, then that is a corrupt road leading to destruction.

“Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:15-20

To be right with God by the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ includes living in the presence of the Holy Spirit, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized? So they said, “Into John’s baptism.” Acts 19:2-3 John the Baptist said this, “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ” Matthew 3:11

Today’s culture has a lust to commit harlotry and to bond with the entity that has power over their physiology. They believe that their body is their own to do with whatever they please and there is no urgency to live in the presence of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. In fact, the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say is counting on that. This is 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 Click for a post on the “man of sin”. This entity wants to live within the person to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through the population in every city, state, country, and nation. Today’s culture is groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-17

Israelis lusted for power, influence, strength and recognition just like the Israelites. “She lusted for the neighboring Assyrians, captains and rulers, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men. Then I saw that she was defiled; Both took the same way.” Ezekiel 23:12-13

The Israelites of yesterday and the Israelis of today both chose the same road to travel, the road of destruction. That happened when the Israelites abandoned the word of God by ignoring the Ten Commandments and when the Jewish people abandoned the word of God by rejecting Jesus Christ. The Israelites and the government of the State of Israel lusted to form partnerships with powerful leaders, presidents of nations, for a prestigious worldly image, and to be empowered militarily. Defilement happens because within themselves they do not love God with all their heart soul, and mind, they do not allow Jesus Christ to forgive their sin, and they oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. They chose the broad path of destruction instead of the narrow path leading to life.

The Israelites, like the Israelis, rebelliously insisted to have their own nation on this earth, “Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us, that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.” 1 Samuel 8:19-20

God warned against desiring to be a nation on this earth with captains, governors, presidents, prestige, and military might. “But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the Lord. And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day—with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also. Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.” 1 Samuel 8:6-9

The description of the king that rules over them is revealed in 1 Samuel 8:10-18. “And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.” 1 Samuel 8:18

As followers of Jesus Christ, 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. If the Jewish people would have accepted Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, they would be Christian and not Jewish, and the Jewish State of Israel would never have existed. Instead of living for the nation of Israel, they would be living for the heavenly nation of the New Jerusalem through Jesus Christ.

Israelis desire the image they see on the wall.
She desired the image portrayed on the wall. “But she increased her harlotry; She looked at men portrayed on the wall, images of Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion,” Ezekiel 23:14

The Jewish people were supposed to be known by the phrase, “the tabernacle is in her”, instead they focused their eyes on the image on the wall, of people portrayed as being superior to others. Vermillion is a bright, red color that made the image stand out. Instead of living for God with their whole heart and soul, the Jewish people gave their heart and soul, like a harlot, to the vermilion image on the wall. One of the commandments for the Israelites and us to follow is, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:5 We are not to have any other God beside the Living God who has made our destiny to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son…” Romans 8:29

The wall of the vermilion image is the wall of atheism that keeps out belief in the living God, that builds a blockade to the receiving Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin, and to shut out the presence of the Holy Spirit. The image that highlights a superior people is the image of the beast that speaks and lives through people today. This image is given life through the entity that has power over physiology to give people what to say, do, think, and feel. This entity empowers today’s culture by making them feel like a superior people as a collective force in cities everywhere.

Today’s global culture is the vermillion standing out on the wall built against the Living God, Jesus Christ, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. They are empowered with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, amazing physical accomplishments and feats, extraordinary talents and skills, uncanny authority over others, measured and pinpointed emotional responses, etc. Genesis 6 also talks about the superhumans who walk on the earth in these days. In their worldly empowerment they boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with Him?” Revelation 13:4

“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.” Revelation 13:15 The “he” in this verse is the beast behind the image and mark of the beast. Today, the global culture dominates, controls, eliminates and subjugates every person who are not wanted as part of their culture. Click for a post on the extinction of Christian births. There is a silent killer in the world today, the psychotic “lamb”, and many people are dying simply because they are not wanted as members of today’s culture. For example, there can be the best healthcare infrastructure in place with healthcare for everybody, but if the compassion and love of God is not with the doctors and nurses then death is quickened.

She lusted for the image of looking like captains. “Girded with belts around their waists, flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like captains, in the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity.” Ezekiel 23:15

The Babylonians were a dominant power in the world, and it was in the manner of their culture to be tightly or neatly dressed, attractive, and looking like captains. Babylon was the land of the captivity of the Israelites.

This verse adds more description to the image of the culture that Israel lusts for. The phrase, “Girded with belts around their waists” refers to the obvious, being tightly groomed and their clothing was not hanging loose around them. This also symbolizes the belts keeping the human spirit and conscience tightly in check to prevent fellowship with Jesus Christ. This happens as the conscience and spirit are replaced by the entity giving people what to feel, say, think, and do. This tightness corresponds to the “sustainability goals” of the United Nations, which requires “tightening of the belt” in commodities produced, how much the population consumes, number of births, and every aspect of human living.

The wearing of the belts especially applies to being strict against the freedom to serve God the Creator, to tighten the belt against the need of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and to oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. The “belts around their waists” are tightened by the image of the beast living and speaking through people by the entity giving them what to think and feel. The global culture wears those belts around their waist as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

The phrase, “…flowing turbans on their heads…”, refers to attractive head dress that made their appearance look dashing, majestic, and royal. Today, the masses of the global culture are empowered with an amazing head dress. That empowerment comes through the entity that has power over physiology to give people uncanny knowledge and heightened intuition. Every day, people in the community flow with amazing knowledge and foreknowledge that makes them seem so much more majestic and royal above others. Unfortunately, they do not retain God in their knowledge and have no foreknowledge of the disaster to come to this present world system.

The phrase, “…all of them looking like captains…” refers to looking like people in authority. The people of the global culture look like captains. They are empowered with uncanny authority over others by the entity with power over physiology. Anyone who criticizes them, ignores their directives, or otherwise ignores their standing as a citizen in the culture suffers the consequences. This happens within the family, at the workplace, in social settings, and everywhere else. People who do not accept the authority of the “captains” are labeled as being a problem, troublemaker, or otherwise made an outcast in society.

As can be envisioned, the captains and governors of today’s culture are those who promote the “tightening of the belt” through the “sustainability goals” of the United Nations.

She sent word of how much she lusted for the image on the wall. “As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.” Ezekiel 23:16

The Israelites lusted after the physical appearance, strength, authority, and superiority of the Babylonian soldiers in Chaldea. So much so that she sent messengers to offer herself to them instead of offering themselves to God by living for the Ten Commandments. Instead of loving God with all their heart, soul, and mind, they filled their heart, soul, and mind with lust for the culture of the Babylonians.

Today, the government of Israel, since established as a state in 1948, has sent messengers to the United States due to her lust for the image of the US in the eyes of the world. Israel wanted to align with political power, to be empowered militarily, and to have superiority in the Middle East region. Through the prestige and influence of the USA, Israel sought to stand confidently as a member of the United Nations. Instead of chasing after the USA, Israel should have been sending messengers to God to seek the presence of Jesus Christ within their spirit and soul.

Today’s culture has a lust for the entity that empowers them through their physiology and gives them their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. They are eager to send messages to that entity, from within themselves, to form a bond with the source that gives uncanny authority over others, extraordinary skills and talents, uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, and measured emotional responses, etc. They lust for the image of the beast to speak and live through them as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

The Holy Spirit speaks these words to us through the Apostle Paul, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

She was defiled by the love of the ones whose image she saw on the wall. “Then the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their immorality; So she was defiled by them, and alienated herself from them.” Ezekiel 23:17

Once the Israelites attracted the Babylonians of Chaldea to intermingle with them on fleshly terms, eventually the novelty and fascination of the sensual lust wore off. By that time, their relationship with God was defiled through sexual immorality and the Ten Commandments were corrupted. The Israelites began to drift from the Babylonians and to alienate their physical love from them. More than that, they died to God, “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:5-6

When the United States of America began to come to Israel 76 years ago, at her invitation, the government of the State of Israel became defiled. They became defiled with the lust for empowerment in their military, political prestige, and integration into the international culture. As we see today, the government of Israel has been defiled by her military and police aggression. With that, the Israeli citizens are defiled with sexual immorality as they have the most liberal abortion rights laws in the world and openly embrace the LGBTQ lifestyles. They have conformed to the will and values of the global culture. They are far removed from God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

What about the relationship between Israel and America? We can see that the love and lust has worn off as the USA now stands with the international laws of the United Nations against Israel. The USA has declared that it is illegal, as established by international law, for Israel to settle in the West Bank. Click here for news article on “White House reverses West Bank policy, calling Israeli settlements illegal“. Also, US Imposes Sanctions On Israeli Settler Outposts. On top of that, the love affair with the United Nations has worn off, as the UN has opened a case of genocide against Israel (in January 2024), World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel. With that, the masses of the global culture loudly raise their voices in riots and protests against the government of Israel.

“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

Israel is alienated from God as she lusts for the power and authority of this world.
After her harlotry, God alienates Himself from her. “She revealed her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness. Then I alienated Myself from her, as I had alienated Myself from her sister.” Ezekiel 23:18

We see how the world government of the United Nations and its global culture have come against Israel. In fact, God uses the global government to bring the fury of His judgment against Israel. God has alienated Himself from Israel. Israel has played the harlot by giving herself to the powers of this world instead of depending on God through Jesus Christ. The word of God makes clear that bombs and guns are not His way, but the Spirit of peace, meekness, and gentleness are, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.” Zachariah 4:6 Their nakedness has been uncovered for all the world to see. Israel’s nakedness is also seen in that she has the most liberal abortion rights in the world and promotes the lifestyles of the LGBQT community, etc. The Israeli citizens even protest against their own government to demand conformity to the atheistic will of the United Nations.

God has alienated Himself from the Jewish people of today like He alienated Himself from the Israelites in the wilderness. They have the attitude of “My body, my choice” instead of dedicating their body to be the home of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. They have turned from the will of God, reject Jesus Christ, and oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Acts 2:36

The Holy Spirit speaks these words to us in the name of Jesus Christ, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” James 4:8-9

She multiplies her harlotry for the biggest and most fertile as in the days of Egypt. “Yet she multiplied her harlotry in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, when she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. For she lusted for her paramours, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians pressed your bosom because of your youthful breasts.” Ezekiel 23:19-21

Even after God alienated Himself from the Israelites, they did not learn from the negative consequences that resulted from their lusts for the ways of this world. She continued to give herself, many times over, to the lifestyle in the days of her youth. The Israelites’ days of youth began in Egypt. Those are the days when she lusted for Egyptian lovers, who were physically well-endowed and were filled with abundant fertility. The Egyptians groomed the girls from a young age by stimulating their sensual body parts.

Today, the Israelis are reliving the days of their sister Israelites as if to say “May body, my choice” instead of dedicating their body as the home of the Holy Spirit by living for Jesus Christ. The Israelis actively promote the LGBQT lifestyles and have the most liberal abortion rights in the world. Also, she lusts for her lovers that are big and very fertile in military prowess and worldly power, strength, and stamina. As seen in her bond of harlotry with America. The Israelis are just like her Israelite sisters in sexual immorality and lust for military empowerment.

Today, there is an entity that has the power to influence what we feel, think, and do. This entity is able to arouse hormones to enflame sensual and sexual feelings as well as to plant those sensual seeds into our thought processes. No one is immune from the very youngest. This entity arouses memories and images of the past that recalls sensual encounters to arouse feelings to motivate our behavior by sensual lusts. This entity wants to keep us very fertile in carnal desires to keep us from walking in the Spirit, to build a wall against Jesus Christ. In other words, the entity with power over physiology wants us to live as in the days when we were not living for God, we had not yet received Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin, and we were not living in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

In our society today, young children are groomed to accept casual sexual relations as being normal. That is part of the public-school curriculum in cities around the nation. If a young girl becomes pregnant, the question is no longer, “When is your marriage planned?” Instead, the question is “Have you yet scheduled an appointment with Planned Parenthood?” Or they are bluntly asked, “When is your abortion scheduled for?”

“Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.” 1 Corinthians 6:18

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are going to slip, fall, and think and feel that our days of being a Christian are over. Especially with the entity that is able to make us feel things we don’t want to feel, to think things we don’t want to think, to say things we regret saying, and to do things we regret doing. As the Apostle Paul said by the Holy Spirit, “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” Romans 7:15 The Holy Spirit speaks these words to us, “My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.” 1 John 2:1-2

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. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17

Israel’s international bonds degenerate and come against her.
Her lovers are stirred up against her from every side. “Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I will stir up your lovers against you, from whom you have alienated yourself, and I will bring them against you from every side: The Babylonians, all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, all the Assyrians with them, all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, captains and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.” Ezekiel 23:22-23

In this year of 2024, we are already seeing the world coming against Israel from every side. In the end, it only gets worse leading to the Battle of Armageddon and global destruction. The Battle of Armageddon is the Sixth Plague of Revelation 16:12-17.

Oholibah is the sister whose name means, “My tabernacle is in her”. We know this refers to the Jewish people after the coming of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago because the Holy Spirit wasn’t given until then. Only through Jesus Christ can we say we are God’s tabernacle. After Jesus Christ gave His life on the Cross to atone for sin, God raised Him from the dead, and now the Holy Spirit has been given to whoever believes in Him. However, the Jewish people have rejected Jesus Christ as their Savior, resulting in the suppression of the Holy Spirit, and not dedicating their body as the home of the Holy Spirit.

Obviously, God is not able to say of the Israelis, “My tabernacle is in her”. They have been in 18 wars since the State of Israel was established in 1948, and even a war in 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. The fruit of the Spirit include peace, meekness, gentleness, love, goodwill, kindness, faith, joy, goodness, patience, self-control, and perseverance. Also, the Israelis have the most liberal abortion rights in the world and promote the lifestyles of the LGBQT community etc. The fury of God’s judgment is coming against Israel.

Today, we see how the Israelis have alienated herself from her lovers within the international community by her aggressive use of military and police action. Those the Israelis once loved are being stirred up against her. God is bringing His fury against Israel from every side.

On one side, America is demanding that Israel surrender to the “Two State Soultion” and has considered any further occupation of the West Bank to be illegal, Click here for news article on “White House reverses West Bank policy, calling Israeli settlements illegal“. Also, US Imposes Sanctions On Israeli Settler Outposts. On another side, the members of the United Nations have opened a case of genocide against the government of the State of Israel, World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel. The UN is also pursuing arrest warrants for Israeli government officials for allegedly committing war crimes. On another side, Israel has hostile enemies on every side, including of the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, etc. On another side, the masses of the global culture in cities everywhere are rioting and protesting against the existence of the independence of Israel.

Jesus Christ says, “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 23:37-39

God’s judgment on her is delegated to the armies of this world. “And they shall come against you with chariots, wagons, and war-horses, with a horde of people. They shall array against you buckler, shield, and helmet all around. ‘I will delegate judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments.” Ezekiel 23:24

The phrase, “‘I will delegate judgment to them”, means that God delegates to the world government and its global culture the judgment that He brings against Israel of today. The phrase, “…and they shall judge you according to their judgments” means that Israel will be judged according to the laws, legislation, policies, and constitution of the members of the United Nations that governs its global culture. Because the government of Israel is not conforming to the agenda of the United Nations, and not conforming to the global culture, violence comes against her.

In this year 2024, we already see how the agenda of the United Nations governs over Israel. For example, the members of the UN have already established policies and laws that says the “Two State Soultion” must be adopted. In fact, the message to Israel is that all the violence of war coming against her will stop the moment they agree to adopting the agenda of the “Two State Solution”. Israel is being judged according to the laws of the global government that governs its global culture.

God gathered the Jewish people to the State of Israel to unleash His judgment on them, as quoted, “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. Yes, I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.” Ezekiel 22:19-21 There will be no veto power in the United Nations to stop the destruction of Israel.

If the Jewish people had accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior 2000 years, the Jewish State of Israel would never have existed, and the fury of God’s judgment would not be on them today. Instead of being Jewish, they would be Christian, and 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.

There is global war coming that is called the Battle of Armageddon in the Sixth Plague of Revelation 16:12-16. All the nations of the world will be gathered together, and the land of Israel is very much a part of that. In that battle, the people of Israel are desolated with only a remnant surviving, as described in the post on the “Day After” from Ezekiel 39. We can know when that battle is about to take place. When the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say is no longer functioning, then the Battle of Armageddon comes. The destruction of this world system follows in the Seventh Plague of Revelation 16:17-21 and in the Day of the Lord. Jesus Christ then returns.

In the Fifth Plague of Revelation 16:10-11, the power center of the beast is destroyed, rendering the world government and its global culture powerless. There will be no more uncanny knowledge, nor uncanny authority over others, nor amazing physical feats and abilities, nor extraordinary skills and talents, etc. The image of the beast will be powerless to live and speak through people, and the mark of the beast will no longer exist to hold people to a particular station in life by what they are given to say and do.

Global warming is instrumental in destroying the power center of the beast and is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9. The more powerful the United Nations becomes as the one world government the hotter and more intense the heat of global warming becomes.

Israel will be dealt with furiously. “I will set My jealousy against you, and they shall deal furiously with you; They shall remove your nose and your ears, and your remnant shall fall by the sword; They shall take your sons and your daughters, and your remnant shall be devoured by fire.” Ezekiel 23:25

The jealousy of God is aroused when people abandon Him to live their life for someone or something else. In the case of the Jewish people, they abandoned His word by rejecting Jesus Christ and oppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit. They live for their Jewish culture and cling to the Old Testament while ignoring the “scarlet cord” in the Old Testament that points to Jesus Christ as the Savior. The Jewish culture has tossed aside the entire New Testament, which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That gives rise to the jealousy of God who in this day, and in the days to come, deals furiously with them.

In the days of the Israelites, when the nose and ears were cut off, that would make them so unattractive that they would not be able to be traded or sold as slaves. Their appearance would be so disfigured that no one would desire them.

The phrase, “They shall remove your nose and your ears,” refers to making the Jewish people of today appear very unattractive in the eyes of everyone else. The Israelis, the Jewish people of the State of Israel, look very unattractive to the rest of the world nowadays. Mostly because of their aggressive military and police action coupled with their rejection of the “Two State Solution” proposed by the members of the United Nations. Also, a court case has been opened against the government of Israel for genocide. With that, arrest warrants are sought by the UN for Israeli officials accused of war crimes. Then there are the masses of the global culture in cities everywhere that protest and riot against the existence of the State of Israel. Even America sides against Israel’s efforts to occupy the West Bank and seize the territory as their own.

While there has been non-stop violence and war in the Middle East since 1948, centered around Israel, it will get worse. While Israel is falling by the “sword” that cuts them off from international acceptance, they will fall by the sword of violence and war in the days ahead. That is spoken about in Ezekiel 39 referring to the Day After the Battle of Armageddon. Only a remnant of Jewish people survives.

The remnant of the Israelites, their sons and daughters, are the Jewish people of today and that remnant will be devoured by fire. The entire Jewish culture has rejected Jesus Christ, and only through Him is there Salvation, “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 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 1:11-13 The unbelieving Jewish culture will be devoured by the fire of eternal hell. As Jesus Christ said to the Jewish people, “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” John 8:44

The world system of today provokes the jealousy of God by governing through the entity that sets itself up as God within His temple, our body. This entity lives within people by giving them what to think feel, say, and do and is 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 Click here for a post on the “man of sin”.

God is going to deal furiously with this present world government and its sons and daughters, who are the masses of people of the global culture. They will be made to look very ugly in the eyes of those who live in the day when the global government is made powerless in the Fifth Plague of Revelation 16:10-11, which is when the power center of the beast is destroyed. At that time, no one will be held captive to the entity that has power over physiology and many, many will rebel against the global government. That is when armies around the world are gathered to the Battle of Armageddon in Revelation 16:12-17 of the Sixth Plague. The beast that fell from power is described as being very unattractive, with frogs coming from their mouth, instead of being silver-tongue devils. They are demons, as quoted in the verses below,

“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty…And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.” Revelation 16:13-14, 16

This world government and the remnant of its global culture [whoever decides not to leave the government of the beast in its powerlessness], will fall by the sword in the Battle of Armageddon, as described in the post on the Day After the Battle of Armageddon. They will be devoured in the fire of eternal hell.

“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-17

The world rejects Israel and she loses everything.
Israel’s identity and appeal is taken away. “They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewelry. ‘Thus I will make you cease your lewdness and your harlotry brought from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt anymore.’” Ezekiel 23:26-27

The Israelites were humiliated, downgraded, and disrespected by their conquerors. The Israelites were so offended and embarrassed by what had happened to them that they would not even make eye contact with their conquerors and were totally disgusted by the memories they held of Egypt. The Babylonians stripped them of their clothing and took away their beautiful jewelry. This was God’s way of causing them to cease their lewdness and harlotry brought from the land of Egypt.

Clothing covers our nakedness and is part of revealing who we are or who we want to be. Jewelry includes adornments to enhance appearances. For example, the Jewish culture and heritage are the clothing of the Jewish people, and the Jewelry would be their Holy sites, such as the Temple Mount, the site of the temple that king Solomon built. The clothing and jewelry of Israel has been stripped from them. How can they possibly look at people in the eye and say that they are the people of God? They have been stripped of their valiant ancestry and that ancestry is described in Hebrews 11. With that, they don’t even have the Jewelry of the Temple Mount anymore, and many more Holy sites have been stripped from them. For example, the Temple Mount is in East Jerusalem, in the West Bank, and is known more as the Golden Dome, made into a Muslim Holy Site.

Above all else, the Jewish culture has been stripped of the clothing of the Holy Spirit and the jewelry of the fruit of the Spirit. That happened when they turned from God by rejecting Jesus Christ who is the giver of the Holy Spirit. Their nakedness is seen in the non-stop wars they have been involved in since the State of Israel was established in 1948 to this date, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. They are not living in fruit of the Spirit including peace, meekness, gentleness, and humility. With that, their nakedness is seen in that Israel has the most liberal abortion rights in the world and they promote the LGBQT lifestyles. How can they possibly look at anyone in the eye and say they are a living example of the people of God?

A day will come when the Jewish people will be deeply disgusted with the ways of the world government and its global culture. They will completely turn their heart away from the agenda of the one world government. This is the hand of God working to cause them to cease their going astray from Him. This is part of what brings in the Battle of Armageddon as only a remnant of Israel survives the Day After the Battle of Armageddon

Today, the United Nations are stripping away the clothing and jewelry of every country and nation across the globe in the process of becoming the one world government. That clothing and jewelry is each nation’s culture, constitution, and national identity. Daniel chapter 1 describes exactly how that happens. The UN is forming a global culture, a global constitution, and a global identity. The one world government will mandate that everyone lives by the entity that gives people what to think, feel, say, and do. People will be identified by the image of the beast that speaks and lives through them, which is enabled by the entity giving them what to say and do. Everyone will be groomed to the mark of the beast by the words given to them to say and the behaviors given them to do. The government of the beast believes they can create a Garden of Eden on earth, without Jesus Christ, by putting an end to “sin” by puppeteering individuals.

In the next verse, we learn that the global government has hate in their heart, are ruthless rulers, and will take all that the people work for [which corresponds to a cashless society and the digital currency].

She is delivered into the hands of those who hate her and loses everything. “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hand of those you hate, into the hand of those from whom you alienated yourself. They will deal hatefully with you, take away all you have worked for, and leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your harlotry shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your harlotry.” Ezekiel 23:28-29

God delivers Israel into the hands of those she hates, and that is far, far, far, from the Salvation God offers through Jesus Christ.

As seen throughout this chapter of Ezekiel, God delivers Israel into the hand of those who hate her, those whom she has alienated herself from. As evident today, Israel has alienated herself from the whole world. For the most part, that is due to her use of military power and aggressive use of police action. We see how Israel is surrounded by those who hate her from the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, etc. The actions of Israel’s enemies benefit the goals of the United Nations to whittle away the independence of the State of Israel. The UN needs a united Middle East to be established as the one world government, and the action of Israel stands in the way of that. With that, the global culture in cities across the globe show their hate by rioting and protesting against the independence of Israel. Even America is demanding that Israel cease and desist trying to annex, occupy, or otherwise reside in the West Bank.

As God says, “They will deal hatefully with you, take away all you have worked for, and leave you naked and bare.” Israel is definitely losing everything that they have been grasping at straws to hang onto since they were established as the State of Israel in 1948. In the eyes of the world, Israel is being left naked and bare. “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

When the Jewish people exalted their own culture above the need to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah, they turned away from the will of God. God wants them to be followers of Jesus and to be known as Christians not Jewish. If they were Christian, the Jewish State of Israel would not exist, and neither would any of the hostilities centered around Israel. 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.

Judgment of Israel is a result of turning from God and rejecting Jesus Christ.
She faces judgment for abandoning God and serving the false god of this world. “I will do these things to you because you have gone as a harlot after the Gentiles, because you have become defiled by their idols.” Ezekiel 23:30

Today, Gentiles are those who live for the ways of this world. They do not believe God when He said He sent Jesus Christ into this world so that whoever believes in Him will have their sin forgiven and inherit eternal life, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” John 6:29The Jewish people around the world, and those who consist of the Israelis within the State of Israel, have given themselves to the ways of all the others who have rejected Jesus Christ, as quoted, “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.” Acts 4:27-28

As ironic as it may sound, God brings all the world against Israel because she tried to conduct herself as any other nation in this world. She wanted a government and nation of her own, wanted powerful alliances with other nations, wanted to be a member of the United Nations, wanted military power, adopted the standards of the global culture [such as abortion rights, promotion of the LGBQT community, etc.]. God says, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.” Zachariah 4:6

“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.” But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the Lord. And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day—with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also.” 1 Samuel 8:4-8

The Israeli citizens have become corrupted by this world’s false god, which gives them what to say, do, think, and feel. This entity coordinates them with the global culture around the world by enabling the image of the beast to speak and live through them. This is seen as the Israelis are synchronized with the global culture in protesting and rioting against the government of Israel. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

What is happening to the State of Israel is a sign to the Jewish people everywhere that God requires them to receive Jesus Christ as their Messiah. Likewise, what is happening to Israel is also a warning to all the people of the world. What happens to Israel happens on a global scale in cities around the world. That is known as the global tribulation. God requires every single person to come to God through Jesus Christ and to receive the Holy Spirit.

“He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 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 1:11-13

She has walked in the way of her sister, and she will drink from the same cup. “You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will put her cup in your hand.’ Thus says the Lord God: You shall drink of your sister’s cup, The deep and wide one; You shall be laughed to scorn and held in derision; It contains much.” Ezekiel 23:31-33

The one sister is supposed to be known as, “My tabernacle is in her”, which refers to the Jewish people, and everyone else, after the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. After our Lord Jesus died on the Cross to atone for sin and was resurrected to life by God, the Holy Spirit is given to whoever believes in Him. His tabernacle is in us as our body is the home of the Holy Spirit. The Jewish people have rejected Jesus Christ, and they walk in the way of the other sister known as, “Her own tabernacle”., which refers to the time before the Holy Spirit was given freely to whoever believes in Jesus Christ. The Jewish people of today have the attitude, “My body, my choice”, as far as refusing to dedicate their body as the home of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ.

The Jewish people of today will certainly experience the same fury of God that came against the Israelites in the wilderness. They will drink of that same cup, the deep and wide one. Rejection of the Holiness of God, which corresponds to the rejection of the Holy Spirit, brings devastating consequences and eternity in hell. In fact, the Holy Spirit within us is the only guarantee of our inheritance of eternal life, which comes through Jesus Christ, “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.” Ephesians 1:13-14

Without the Holy Spirit, the conscience and spirit are full of corruption. The Holy Spirit shines a light on the pathway of sanctification of our spirit and the cleansing of our conscience, “…having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck…” 1 Timothy 1:19 “God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.” 2 Thessalonians 2:13

Without the Holy Spirit, there is no one to restrain lawlessness, “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed…” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 Click here for a post on the “lawless one”.

In a world with a corrupted conscience and hardened spirit, there is no room for accepting Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin. The focus is fixed on worldly things as the love for God is ignored and people do not love others as themselves. The same deep-and-wide cup that Israel is and will be drinking from is the same deep-and-wide cup that this present atheistic world system will be drinking from, as quoted below,

“And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.” Revelation 17:3-6

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal…Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. Revelation 18:2, 4-6

She will be filled with sorrow, horror, and desolation. “You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria. You shall drink and drain it, you shall break its shards, and tear at your own breasts; For I have spoken,’ says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 23:33-34

To “...be filled with drunkenness and sorrow…” refers to not being astute in living for God through Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Jewish people, and today’s culture, do not have the ability to accurately assess their situation and direction in this world. “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” Revelation 19:10. To be able to know where this world is heading, we need to be able to see where Jesus Christ is in this world. Because of the inability to walk in the light of Christ, and not seeing the Lighthouse of Christ in stormy weather, sorrow and shipwreck comes. The Jewish people and today’s culture are not able to see to change their course around.

“I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.” Revelation 17:6 This verse refers to the world government and the global culture it has created. They are driving drunk and heading for a crash filled with sorrow, tribulation, and destruction.

The phrase, “the cup of your sister Samaria” refers to Oholah, meaning “her own tabernacle”. Jesus Christ is the giver of the Holy Spirit and without Him the Jewish people, and everyone else, are living by the attitude, “My body, my choice”. Today, Israel is living a nightmare because the cup she is drinking from is filled with horror and desolation. We might ask, “How can it be any worse?”, but it does become worse, as described in Ezekiel 39 referring to the Day After the Battle of Armageddon. That is what is meant by the Jewish people of today draining the cup of judgment that the Israelites drank. Not only do the Jewish people drain the cup dry, but they tear it to pieces by gnawing it with their teeth after it is drained. Catastrophe comes for Israel.

Judgment against her is a result of turning from the will of God to accept Jesus Christ. “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, Therefore you shall bear the penalty of your lewdness and your harlotry.’” Ezekiel 23:35

The Jewish people forgot God and turned their backs on Him 2000 years ago when they rejected Jesus Christ, causing walls to be created against the presence of the Holy Spirit. They have been bearing the consequences of ignoring Jesus Christ ever since. The most notable of those consequences have been seen when the Jewish people were gathered to the State of Israel in 1948.

Since 1948, even in the year 1948, Israel has been in 17 wars, click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. Today, there are riots and protests against the existence of the State of Israel coming from the masses of the global culture in cities around the world. Also, the members of the United Nations are hostile to the independence of the State of Israel and America has determined it illegal for Israelis to settle and live in the West Bank. With all of that, the Israeli citizens riot and protest against their own government to demand conformity to the will of the members of the United Nations.

God gathered the Jewish people to the State of Israel as the place where He unleashes His fury on 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. Yes, I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.” Ezekiel 22:19-21 And also, “I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out.” Ezekiel 20:34

If the Jewish people would have invited Jesus into their life, they would be living as Christians and the Jewish State of Israel would not exist today. Jesus Christ would have erased all of the horror and sorrow they are going through today in the land of Israel. 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 by believing in Jesus. “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” Hebrews 3:15

Jesus Christ wants to change the direction of our life the same as He wanted to change the direction of the life of the Jewish people 2000 years ago. Not only does Christ Jesus change our destiny on this earth, but He changes our destiny from eternal hell to eternal life in the New Jerusalem. We are born again into new life by believing in Jesus Christ. “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. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17

Israelites and the Israelis are judged for the same offenses.
God declares the judgment against the Israelites and the Israelis. “The Lord also said to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations. For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and even sacrificed their sons whom they bore to Me, passing them through the fire, to devour them.” Ezekiel 23:36-37

In the Holiness of God, He brought His judgment against the Israelites, against the Jewish people of today, and against all people who turn from Him by rejecting Jesus Christ. God is Holy and has no fellowship in the presence of sin, so how can we enter into His presence? Through Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus is the sinless Son of God and is the only one who can enter into the presence of God. In the name of Jesus, our sin is forgiven, and we are given the Holy Spirit. “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit had not yet been given, but belief in God and following His word, such as the Ten Commandments, was considered the path to Salvation. Today, the Holy Spirit is given but we are still required to believe the word of God by accepting Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin. “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

Oholibah, whose name means “God’s tabernacle in her” is being judged the same as Oholah, whose name means “Her own tabernacle”. God gave the Israelites the name, “Her own tabernacle” because the Holy Spirit had not yet been given. The Holy Spirit has been given after Jesus Christ made atonement for sin on the Cross. After Jesus Christ atoned for sin, He gave the Jewish people the name, “My tabernacle is in her”. However, the Jewish people rejected Jesus Christ resulting in the oppression of the Holy Spirit, therefore, they are being judged the same as those who say, “My body my choice”.

The sin against God is the same for the Israelites, the Jewish people of today, and for all people. That sin is atheism that does not believe the word of God, rejecting the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and oppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit. That sin leads to every type of behavior that is detestable to God, which includes living for a false god, violence, bloodshed, the killing of the unborn, and causing children to die to Jesus Christ.

Adultery is to bond with the ways of this world while claiming fidelity to Jesus Christ. Also, acting out with violence and bloodshed is a definite abomination to God which is not of Jesus Christ, who is the Lamb of God with the humble, meek, and gentle Spirit. Also, committing adultery with the false god of this world is to use the name of God while bonding with the atheistic entity that gives what to think, feel, do, and say. Also, sacrificing children in the fire is the killing of the unborn that has become a casual occurrence nowadays. Sacrificing children also refers to giving them to the entity that forms their thoughts, words, feelings, and behaviors.

Today, the Israelis commit adultery by using the name of God but rejecting the entire New Testament, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They only acknowledge the Old Testament. They have blood on their hands by engaging in 17 wars since the State of Israel was established in 1948. The Israelis citizens embrace the atheistic false god that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. They are synchronized with the global culture that riots and protests against the government of Israel. Israel has the most liberal abortion rights in the world, as one way of killing their children. They also stifle their children from living for God through Christ, as the other way of killing their children by causing them to die to Jesus Christ.

God is definitely against abortion as described in Ezekiel 16:1-22. He is against the LGBQT community as described in Romans 1:21-32. God is definitely against violence as His Son Jesus Christ answered His disciples, “And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did? But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.” Luke 9:54 -56 God is definitely against the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say, as described by clicking this link.

“Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” James 4:4

Both defile God’s sanctuary and profane the day of worship. “Moreover they have done this to Me: They have defiled My sanctuary on the same day and profaned My Sabbaths.” Ezekiel 23:38

God established the Sabbaths and Sundays as a means for believers to come together to worship God in the name of Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit. These days are intended to be dedicated to teaching the life of Holiness and the process of sanctification. When the gathering together in the churches on the Sabbaths and Sundays are used for other purposes, those days are being corrupted. They are blaspheming the Living God.

The Jewish people corrupt the Sabbaths because they totally ignore the “scarlet cord” that points to Jesus as the Christ and Son of God. They have discarded the entire New Testament, which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and live only by the Old Testament. The sanctuary of the soul is being defiled on the Sabbaths. Today, God speaks to us through Jesus Christ, “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son…” Also, “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.” John 16:16

The churches of today, non-Jewish, have corrupted Sundays because the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been abandoned. They care more about forming an alliance with the community culture than they do about being set apart from the world to serve God through the Jesus Christ. They embrace the atheistic entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say. Those who attend Sunday church are plentiful, but their heart, soul, and mind are far from Jesus Christ. The sanctuary of the heart and soul is being defiled on Sundays through teaching and preaching that excludes Jesus Christ and teaches the way of today’s culture.

Ezekiel gives a description of the churches of today, “As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’ So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain.Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them. And when this comes to pass—surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.” Ezekiel 33:30-33

After the corruption of the churches is described in chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation, the Lord speaks these words to the Apostle John, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” Revelation 4:1 That is described in Revelation 4. What the Lord shows John reveals how the corruption of the Church has led the way to the opening of the Seven Seals in Revelation 6, and the events of the Seven Trumpets in Revelation 8, 9. and 11, and the events of the Seven Plagues in Revelation 16.

Both slay children for their false god while attending church on Sunday. “For after they had slain their children for their idols, on the same day they came into My sanctuary to profane it; and indeed thus they have done in the midst of My house.” Ezekiel 23:39

The Israelites were serving the false gods of the nations around them, which required the killing of their children as a ritual sacrifice. After doing that, on the same day they would walk into the church of that day as if to be serving the Living God. Needless to say, they were not living by the word of God, they discarded the Ten Commandments and other such laws. They did this in the House of God.

Today, the Israelis have the most liberal abortion rights across the globe. They are literally slaying their unborn children and afterwards they enter their Jewish churches as if to be honoring the Living God. They are serving the false god of this world that is behind the implementation of the “sustainability goals”. Those goals have been established by the United Nations and are in every city around the world. The goal is to sustain population growth through the casual use of abortion on demand, among other sustainability goals such as controlling consumption by controlling what is produced. The atheistic entity that empowers the United Nations and its global culture is the false god that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity despises the presence of the Holy Spirit, seeks to rid the world of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and detests belief in the Living God.

The churches of today, non-Jewish, are also polluted with a congregation that supports the killing of the unborn six days a week and then comes to church on Sundays. The churches have abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ and have aligned themselves with the community culture. This is a culture that lives by the atheistic entity giving them what to say, do, feel, and think to put them in sync with the global “sustainability goals”. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

The sanctuary of God, our body, has been corrupted by the entity that sits in the sanctuary of God as if it is God. This entity motivates people what to do with the body, and abortion is one such requirement. People everywhere insist, “My body my choice”. The atheistic entity giving people what to do, say, think, and feel is 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 Click here for a post on the “man of sin”.

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-16

Both gave themselves to a nation from a land afar. “Furthermore you sent for men to come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent; and there they came. And you washed yourself for them, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments.” Ezekiel 23:40

The Israelites of yester-years and the Israelis of today both sent messengers to faraway nations to solicit military empowerment and governing strength. In the times of the Israelites, they formed an alliance with Egypt to receive military aid for the purpose of rebelling against their captivity to king Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian empire. Today, the government of Israel has formed an alliance with America for the same reason, to receive military and government empowerment to wage war against being defeated by her enemies in the Middle East.

The Israelites of yester-years did everything they could to make themselves look attractive to the Egyptians. They made themselves clean by the standards of the Egyptians, adopted the attitude that she only had eyes for them, and adorned herself in ways to reflect what the Egyptians wanted to see. Likewise, the government of Israel washed to be clean in the eyes of America, being the only democracy in the Middle East region. Israel adopted the attitude that she only has eyes for America and has adorned herself with an appearance that is attractive to America. Being “dressed-up” to solicit the aid of another nation is a tactic used to receive favorable notice.

Unfortunately, soliciting the military aid and government power of a far-away nation meant turning away from the will of God to receive Jesus Christ and to live in the Holy Spirit. Faith is put in worldly power instead of in the Spirit of God, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.” Zachariah 4:6 Washing with the soap of a worldly nation means not being washed in the heart, soul, and mind by the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ. Having eyes only for advantageous powerful nations meant being blind to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Adorning self to appeal to worldly powers meant being ugly in the eyes of God and losing the adornment of the fruit of His Spirit.

Because of Jesus Christ, we do not need to travel to a faraway place for our Salvation. When we draw close to Him, He draws close to us and His word is within our heart, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you... The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” James 4:6, Romans 10:8-10

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
[Church Hymn]

Both were given stately honors as they serve the world culture. “You sat on a stately couch, with a table prepared before it, on which you had set My incense and My oil.” Ezekiel 23:41

The Babylonians of Chaldea set the Israelites on a stately couch as a reward for the way the Israelites changed themselves to be pleasing to them. A table was set before the Israelites with items given from the hand of the Babylonians of Chaldea to nourish Israel’s worldly power. In exchange, the Israelites gave to them things that only belonged in the worship of the Living God, incense and oil.

The phrase, “sat on a stately couch”, refers to sitting in a dignified place with some power. A “table prepared before it” refers to being served what is necessary to nourish a stately existence. Also, the table is a place to sit items on. In this case, God’s incense and His oil were set on the table. Incense refers to what rises up from the spirit and soul to God [like prayers], and the oil is the Holy Spirit.

The “stately couch” of Israel today is the government of the State of Israel, that is their stately place in the world. They have been sat there in 1948 by the members of the United Nations and have maintained that “stately couch” with the aid of America. The “table prepared before it” has items setting on it given by America to nourish Israel’s ability to survive in the hostile region of the Middle East. Mostly, the table has America’s military aid and the backing of America’s political power. In exchange for the worldly items set on the table, Israel has given things on the table that should only belong to God. They give flattery, praise, service, spirit, and soul to America instead of communing with God in prayer through the Holy Spirit.

Today’s culture is sitting on a stately couch as their dignity and esteem is built up as they are empowered by the entity giving them what to think, feel, say, and do. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people. The table set before them brings empowerment with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and talents, uncanny authority over others, uncanny emotional responses, etc. In their demeanor they boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4 The “him” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast. The masses of the global culture gives praise to this entity as their god and they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

Jesus Christ says to us, “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:36-37

Both among the raucous crowd and praised. “The sound of a carefree multitude was with her, and drunkards were brought from the wilderness with men of the common sort, who put bracelets on their wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads.” Ezekiel 23:42

This whole chapter of Ezekiel centers on two girls who were groomed sensually/sexually from a very young age. The girls craved to be around “studs” who were exertive or aggressive. The girls and their studs were a carefree bunch, who enjoyed drinking, and were not part of the timid, refined, and domesticated society. They could be described as partiers, rebels, and among the common sort. The raucous crowd treated the women like their queens and were possessive over them. In fact, the Israelites were doing all they could to create havoc and headaches for the Babylonians who had taken them into captivity. This sounds a lot like the society we live in today.

The Israelis of the government of the State of Israel can be described in the same way as far as being raucous. They have been in 17 raucous wars since they were brought out of the global wilderness and gathered to the State of Israel in 1948. In 1948, a crown was put on the head of Israel and bracelets on her wrist as she was esteemed as a new member belonging to the world’s nations. However, they are carefree and drunk regarding their lack of direction and respect for God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit and are carelessly driving down a road to an impending crash. They are no longer a special people to God since they rejected Jesus Christ but instead are among the common sort of the wilderness of this world. A wilderness of atheism, disregard for the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and oppressive of the Holy Spirit.

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Israel continues to play the harlot in her elderly days.
Israel is in her elderly days and who will commit harlotry with her now? “Then I said concerning her who had grown old in adulteries, ‘Will they commit harlotry with her now, and she with them? ’Yet they went into her, as men go into a woman who plays the harlot; thus they went into Oholah and Oholibah, the lewd women.” Ezekiel 23:43-44

Growing old in adulteries refers to continuously turning away from God and growing callous against His word. This is to progress in the hardness of the conscience and spirit with no feeling of shame, guilt, remorse, or need for forgiveness. This describes the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit that cannot be forgiven. Before coming to God through Jesus Christ, we have rejected Him and spoke things against Him, but there was still a response to the Holy Spirit who brought us to repentance and love for our Lord Jesus. When there is no response to the Holy Spirit, there is no forgiveness of sin, “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.” Matthew 12:31-32

The Jewish people of today, as clearly seen in the behavior of the Israelis, are the aged result of an ancestry that continued to leave God to serve the attractions, power, and prestige of this world. They have grown old while continuing in the ways of the Israelites by rejecting the word of God, discarding the need for Jesus Christ, and blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

God asked the question, “Will the powers of this world and Israel continue to play the harlot with each other in her old age?” They certainly have done that, as in these last days the United Nations [established in 1945] paved a way for the Jewish people to gather to Israel in 1948 [the State of Israel was established in 1948]. With that, America partnered with Israel from the year 1948, and bombs and guns have been going off in Israel ever since. With that, Israel has the most liberal abortion rights in the world, and they promote the lifestyles of the LGBQT community. Also, the Israeli citizens have formed a bond with the global culture through the atheistic entity that gives people what to do, think, feel, and think. Like the global culture, the Israeli citizens protest and riot against their own government, demanding conformity to the agenda of the global government.

The worldly powers went into Oholah with false gods, power, prestige, military might, etc. Oholah means, “Her own tabernacle” and represents the Israelites before Jesus Christ gave the Holy Spirit by the atonement of sin. They were living by the attitude, “My body, my choice”. The governing power of today has went into “Oholibah”, whose name means “God’s tabernacle in her”, which was meant to be the Jewish people after the coming of Jesus Christ. However, the Jewish people rejected Jesus Christ, oppressed the Holy Spirit, and never obtained being the tabernacle of God’s Spirit. The governing power of today enters the body, created to be the tabernacle of God, through the entity giving people what to feel and think to manipulate what is said and done.

The entity that enters into the tabernacle of God, our body, is 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 Click here for a post on the “man of the sin”. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people in every city around the world. The global culture is groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

Jesus Christ is the one who wants to come into our life, who stands at the door of our heart and knocks. When we open the door to Him, Jesus puts sin in remission and makes us the home of the Holy Spirit. This is the will of God for us. There is a lot of opposition against Jesus living in us because the entity that wants to be like God demands to sit in His place. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” Revelation 3:20-21

Israel will be judged as an adulteress and shedder of blood by the righteous. “But righteous men will judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.” Ezekiel 23:45

Our Lord Jesus said this to His Apostles about life beyond the grave, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” Matthew 19:28

Today, in this life on earth, the Jewish people are being judged by the righteous. The righteous are those who believe in the Living God, believe His word, acknowledge the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit. We judge Israel as adulteresses in that they claim to be married to God, but they bond with the ways of this world. For starters, they love the Jewish State of Israel more than they love God through Jesus Christ. The most obvious sign of their adultery is their reliance on bullets and bombs to defend Israel instead of relying on the Spirit of God, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’
Says the Lord of hosts.” Zachariah 4:6 Also, their adultery is evident because they have the most liberal abortions rights in the world, promote the lifestyles of the LGBQT community, etc.

Jesus Christ judged the unbelieving Jewish people in this way, ^”Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” John 8:42-47

In Jesus Christ, we pass from condemnation into life,“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” John 5:24

The assembly of the world government desolates Israel.
The assembly of the United Nations comes against Israel to destroy her. “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Bring up an assembly against them, give them up to trouble and plunder. The assembly shall stone them with stones and execute them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.” Ezekiel 23:46-47

The trouble coming against Israel today benefits one powerful entity, the United Nations. The goal is to submit Israel to conform to the will of the members of the United Nations so the UN can be established as the one world government.

We see the word of God being fulfilled in front of our eyes as an assembly of nations has been brought against Israel. That assembly of nations is indeed the member countries of the United Nations. That assembly also includes the masses of the global culture that riot and protest against the existence of Israel. Israel is given up to trouble as she confronts hostility on every side from places such as the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Stria, Iran, etc. Israel is given up to plunder as the territory of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip has been taken from her, as seen in the picture below,

The picture to the right is the original territory of Israel as described in Ezekiel 48. The picture to the left is Israel after the land has been plundered and is now without the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. That is a huge, huge piece of territory plundered from Israel. How amazing it is that the territory of Israel in Ezekiel 48 is the same territory of Israel today, minus the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The assembly brought against Israel will also be the Battle of Armageddon of Revelation 16:12-17. “For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to assemble them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty…And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.” Revelation 16:14, 16 While we see the trouble and plundering of Israel today, the Battle of Armageddon will be much, much, worse, and the killing of the Jewish people will be much worse. Israel will burn in fires. Click here for a post on the Day After the Battle of Armageddon.

Today, we see Israel being stoned with stones, which are instruments to bring pain, suffering, and death. Those stones are hurled from the members of the United Nations through laws and all sorts of mandates. Those stones include the riots and protests against Israel coming from the masses of the global culture in cities across the globe. Those stones include the constant wars that Israel engages in. This becomes much worse in the time period centering around the Battle of Armageddon. The houses of Israel will be burned in the fire.

What we see happening in Israel should be a great concern for this present world government and the global culture it has created. That’s because the destruction coming to Israel will be the destruction coming to this world. God’s determination is to gather the nations to pour out the fury of His judgment on them. The same nations assembled against Israel will be destroyed along with Israel, “Therefore wait for Me,” says the Lord, “Until the day I rise up for plunder; My determination is to gather the nations to My assembly of kingdoms, to pour on them My indignation, all My fierce anger; All the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.” Zephaniah 3:8 Click for the full chapter of Zephaniah 3.

The world government and its global culture feels invincible because they live by the entity that has control over physiology to control what people do, think, say, and feel. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through the masses of the global culture. In their attitude they boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” However, in the Fifth Plague of Revelation 16:10-11, the power center of the beast is destroyed, which renders the world government and its global culture powerless. For the masses of the global culture, that is a day of trouble, plunder, violence, chaos, death, and upheaval of every type. In that powerlessness and chaos arises the Battle of Armageddon in the Sixth Plague of Revelation 16:12-17. The Day of the Lord enters to destroy this earth, and the return of Jesus Christ comes.

Global warming is instrumental in bringing the destruction of the power center of the beast and is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9. The more powerful the United Nations becomes as the one world government the hotter and more intense the heat of global warming becomes.

As followers of Jesus Christ, 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. If the Jewish people would have accepted Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, they would not have a nation on this earth and would not be facing the fury of God’s judgment today. “Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” John 18:36-37

Israel’s lewdness is brought to an end. “Thus I will cause lewdness to cease from the land, that all women may be taught not to practice your lewdness. They shall repay you for your lewdness, and you shall pay for your idolatrous sins. Then you shall know that I am the Lord God.’” Ezekiel 23:48-49

Today, we see how crude and offensive the Jewish people are in the eyes of God. All lewdness comes from atheism that denies the existence of the Living God, rooted in the rejection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin, and the oppression of the presence of the Holy Spirit. The hostilities coming against Israel from the global government and its culture is by the hand of God. The Israelis are definitely paying for their lewdness and idolatrous sins. The idolatrous way of the Israeli citizens is to embrace the atheistic entity that forms what they do, say, think, and feel as they bond with the global culture. Together, they riot and protest against the government of Israel to conform to the agenda of the world government of the beast.

Just by looking at the judgment of God coming against Israel today, we can know that He is indeed Lord God and His hand continues to work in this world. The remnant of the Jewish people who survives during the Day After the Battle of Armageddon will know in that day that the God of Jesus Christ is indeed their Lord God. “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

God causes sin to end in two ways, it will be eternally burned in hell beyond the grave, or it ceases by living for God through belief in Jesus Christ. By seeing the examples of fulfilled prophecy coming against Israel, we should know not to follow in her crude and offensive ways. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

When John the Baptist saw Jesus Christ coming to him, he said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 Jesus causes sin to cease for whoever believes in Him. Not that we become sinless, but through Jesus Christ our sin is not held against us, “Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.” Romans 4:8 “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!” Romans 6:14-15 The wages of sin are death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Sin will also cease by its eternal burning in hell. The unbelievers of the State of Israel, all the unbelieving Jewish people, and the global culture of today are in that category. Their crude and offensive ways against God will cease. Jesus Christ spoke directly to the Jewish people in the most clear and direct language that could be used to reveal them as having Satan as their father. Jesus said, “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” John 8:44

The Jewish people have drifted so far from the will of God that the truth of Jesus Christ is not in them. They have turned the truth of God into a lie and hold the truth in unrighteousness. To hold the truth in unrighteousness and turn it into lies is to use the Bible without Jesus Christ. Jesus is the word of God. The Jewish people use only the Old Testament as their Bible and have thrown out the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ, thrown out the entire New Testament. Jesus Christ wants us to know this, “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-33

Sin is what separates us from believing in God the Creator, it causes people to walk away from Jesus Christ, and sin is oppressive to the presence of the Holy Spirit. Keep on believing in God, keep on walking with Jesus Christ, and keep on embracing the Holy Spirit, and if you sin in any other way than that, there is grace, mercy, and forgiveness. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.” 1 John 1:8-10

“Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” 1 John 2:22-23

“….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.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
