Watchman gives us warning that we must listen to for our Salvation.
“Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them:“

God has given Ezkiel more to say to the house of Israel.

“‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life.” Ezekiel 33:1-5

The prophets of the Bible have forewarned us of the judgment of God that comes to this world. These are the prophets such as Ezekiel, Daniel, Zachariah, Zephaniah, Isaiah, etc. This following verse is written about our Lord Jesus as a Prophet, “For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’” Acts 3:22-23

God brings His sword to this world to unleash His judgment on sin-plagued humanity who has turned their backs on His Son Jesus Christ who cleanses our spirit and soul. Even then, God has made the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, our watchman by preaching to us about the Kingdom of God and letting us know that the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life. Christ Jesus has blown the Salvation trumpet, and we have heard that whoever calls on His name will be saved. Whoever hears the Gospel of Christ and rejects Jesus will suffer the consequences of rejecting Him. However, whoever hears the testimony of Jesus and receives Him will inherit eternal life.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we have been made the watchperson in this world by testifying of His Good News through the Holy Spirit who lives in us. “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Revelation 19:10 If we want to see where the world is within Bible prophecy we only need to see where Jesus Christ is within the world. The bright and shining sword of God’s judgment in this world today is very hard to miss. We see His sword and we are to blow the trumpet to warn the people of this world. Whoever does not listen to the warning then the consequence of that rejection is on their own head. Whoever does heed the warning will find eternal Salvation.

The sword of God’s judgment is coming through global warming, which is for all the people and nations to see. In fact, all the world is talking about global warming. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9. The more powerful the United Nations become as the one world government the hotter and more intense the heat of global warming becomes. “Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.” Revelation 16:8-9

All the people and nations of this world can see the bright and shining sword of God’s judgment in another way as well. The United Nations was established in 1945, after WW2, and brought the government of the beast with it, as described in Danile 8, and also in Revelation 17.

The bright and shining sword of God’s judgment can be seen in yet another way by all the world: The entity that gives life to the image of the beast to speak and live within people is here, as described in the post on Revelation 13. This is the atheistic entity that has power over physiology to give people what to say, do, think, and feel. Today’s global culture is groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. This entity sets itself up as God within the temple of God, our body, as if it is God, 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

In yet another way the bright and shining sword of God’s judgment is seen by all the world: The Jewish people were gathered to the State of Israel in 1948 as God promised that he would do. It is there where God is unleashing the fury of His Judgment on Israel, “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.” Ezekiel 22:19-20 Israel has been in 18 wars since 1948, and even a war in 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. Ezekiel 20:34 says the same.

Global warming is instrumental in plunging the power center of the beast into darkness, as described in Revelation 16:10-11. When that happens, the entity with power over physiology will no longer be functioning. There will be no more uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and talents, amazing physical abilities, uncanny emotional responses, uncanny authority over others, etc. No more will people be fed what to say, do, think, and feel. Also, the mark of the beast will be powerless to hold people to a specific station in life. The world government and its global culture will be powerless. In that powerlessness comes the Battle of Armageddon in the Sixth Plague, leading to the Day of the Lord and the return of Jesus Christ.

As the watchpersons in this world, through Jesus Christ, He says this to us, “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16

“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

Watchmen responsible to share the Gospel of Christ but not responsible for how people respond.
Watchmen who do not warn the people must answer for those going astray. “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’” Ezekiel 33:6

A watchman over a city was positioned on top of a wall that surrounded a city or was positioned in a watch tower. If the watchman saw an attack coming against the city, he would blow a trumpet to warn everyone. If the watchman did not blow the trumpet, failing to warn the people of the city, the watchman would be responsible for whatever tragedy happened to the people.

When Jesus Christ came 2000 years ago in the flesh, He established His Church on people who realize that He is the Christ, the Son of God, “He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:15-18

Every manmade church that we see today is intended to be filled with people who live in the Holy Spirit with a testimony flowing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. The church is a watchtower with followers of Jesus Christ as the watchpersons. As watchpersons [whether as part of the manmade church or not], we are supposed to declare the return of Jesus Christ and prepare others for His coming by warning them of the consequences of sin for unbelief and the reward of eternal life for believing. The Gospel of Christ is summed up like this, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

The Apostle Paul describes the Gospel, “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

What happens when the churches abandon the Gospel of Christ and people are not hearing the warning against unbelief, rejection of Jesus Christ, and oppression of the Holy Spirit? The watchpersons in the churches are responsible for all those people who came into the churches and walked out not hearing that the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life. The ministers, teachers, and leaders of the churches are responsible for all the people who die without the opportunity of receiving Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin. All the watchpersons who had the opportunity to blow the trumpet to warn against unbelief, and did not, God will hold them accountable. In this context, this verse is given life, “But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.” Mark 12:36 Many idle words are spoken by the “watchpersons” in the fallen churches of today.

As followers of Jesus Christ, whether attending a manmade church or not, there is something we need to warn people against whenever the opportunity arises. The warning is against the atheistic entity that replaces the conscience to give people what to think, feel, say, and do. A wall is being built against receiving Jesus Christ. This entity spreads unbelief in God, scoffs at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and mocks the presence of the Holy Spirit. This entity enlivens the image of the beast to speak and live through people and by what they are given to say and do are groomed to the mark of the beast.

Today, we who really desire to sound the warning against the wages of sin, and to make known the prophecies being fulfilled presently, find it extremely difficult to do so. Today’s culture is very unwelcoming of Christianity. Our Lord Jesus knew these dark times of night would come; He knew a time would come when no person would be able to work to spread His testimony. Jesus said, “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 9:4-5

Followers of Christ are made watchmen to make known the word of God to the Jewish people. “So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me.” Ezekiel 33:7

God made Jesus Christ the Watchman of the house of Israel, and what our Lord Jesus heard His Father speak that is what He spoke, “For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.” John 12:49

Jesus spoke these words to the house of Israel, “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 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

The Apostle Peter spoke these words through the Holy Spirit, “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” Acts 2:36

Jesus Christ has made each one of us a watchman over Israel, and to everyone else, to speak the word of God to them, to speak the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them. The word we speak is this, “For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.” Romans 2:28-29.

The Jewish people, and everyone else, need to receive Jesus Christ to be the children of God, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13

Watchmen are required to make known that the wages of sin is death. “When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.” Ezekiel 33:8

God has spoken His word, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 We need to speak those words to the ones who are separated from God, who have not come to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin and are not living in the presence of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit opens the door to an opportunity to make known the testimony of Jesus Christ, we hinder His work by not allowing the Spirit to work through us. If a sinner dies in their sin because of our silence, then we will be responsible for that lost soul. As followers of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit lives in us and we are eager and joyful for the opportunity to talk to someone about Jesus.

Watchmen are not responsible for those who do not listen to the Gospel of Christ. “Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.” Ezekiel 33:9

Some people are absolutely hardened against the presence of the Holy Spirit and He is the one who makes it possible to receive Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and eternal life. They love the darkness rather than the light, “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:19-21

All we can do is lift up the name of Jesus, and people’s refusal to accept Him is 100% on them, but we have completed the will of God.

We live in a world today that is hardened against Jesus Christ because they live by the atheistic entity that replaces the conscience and spirit to give them what to feel, think, say, and do. This entity hardens the spirit and soul against the word of God. By doing that, the image of the beast is enabled to live and speak through people and the masses around the world are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. This is the day when the Holy Spirit is taken from world, and sharing the Gospel is like trying to push a cotton swab through a steel door. It’s also a day of lawlessness when the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way and the Gospel of Christ is rejected.

 “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.” 2 Thessalonians 2:7 Click for a post on the “lawless one”.

Jewish people must turn to Jesus Christ for their Salvation.
Word spoken to the house of Israel. “Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘Thus you say, “If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?” Ezekiel 33:10.

The word of God comes to Israel by revealing the question that lies in their heart, “How can we live when our transgressions and sins are on us, and we pine away?”

Today, the Jewish people have their sins laying on them because of turning from the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. They are wasting away in their sin as they only live by the Old Testament scriptures and have tossed aside the entire New Testament (the Gospel of Jesus Christ). How can they live to God again?

Today, the Jewish people living within Israel are like the Jewish people living in all other parts of the world. They share their rejection of Jesus Christ and are wasting away in their sin. Even then, the Israelis of the State of Israel are in the global spotlight so that the world will see the judgment that God brings 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.” Ezekiel 22:19 How can they live to God again?

Possessing the Jewish State of Israel was not the will of God for the Jewish people, He wanted them to live as Christians by accepting Jesus Christ as their Messiah. Because of their hardness against Jesus Christ, God gathered them to Israel to unleash His judgment. Since 1948 (the year of the declaration of the State of Israel), Israel has not had a moment of peace, instead they have had 17 wars since 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. If the Jewish people were Christian and not Jewish, the State of Israel would not have ever existed. As Christians, we do not have a nation on this earth to call our own, our nation is the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth. The Israelis are wasting away in their sin, and the question is, “How can they live to God again?”

The answer to the question could be stated in this way, “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

When Jesus Christ made atonement for sin by the sacrifice He made on the Cross, that was for each and every person who believes in Him. God raised Him from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death and to give us assurance of eternal life. Through Jesus Christ, we have access to God and the Jewish people no longer hold exclusive rights to Him. In fact, they too must come to Jesus Christ for the remission of sin to be reconciled with God and infilled with the Holy Spirit.

We all live with the transgression and sin of Adam laying on us. There is nothing that can change this fallen condition of humanity and we are destined to waste away in spiritual corruption. The question for us is the same as the question for the Jewish people, “How can we live to God again?” The answer to the question is this, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13 Whoever believes in God through Jesus Christ will not die but have eternal life.

Jewish people must turn from their rejection of Jesus Christ. “Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’” Ezekiel 33:11

God does not want any person to perish, but instead to reach repentance through Jesus Christ.

Through Ezekiel, God refers to Israel as being wicked and in need of turning from their evil ways. God does not wish for them to die in their sin. Jesus Christ was sent to the Jewish people 2000 years ago to encourage them to turn from their evil ways and reconcile to God. Jesus said, “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

Jesus Christ came to the Jewish people and everyone else with the same message, that He has the authority to forgive sin and to give us life in the Spirit and eternal life. He says to all who will listen, “Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die.” “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke 24:46-47

Jewish righteousness cannot save them if they reject Jesus Christ. “Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression;“ Ezekiel 33:12a.

The Jewish people have always believed that they are the “righteousness of the righteous” in that without Jesus Christ they have exclusive rights to God and have the only correct interpretation of the Holy Bible. Today, they live only by the Old Testament and have discarded the entire New Testament (the Gospel of Christ). However, their righteousness will not save them from their inherited sin, “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20

The self-righteous beliefs of the Jewish people do not recognize one single person who lives for Jesus Christ as experiencing the remission of sin and Salvation. Which means the Jewish people believe that they are the righteousness of God. However, the righteousness of God is apart from the Old Testament law, as quoted, “But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:21-23

Today, the global culture believes that they are the righteousness of this world as they boast about their battle against worldly wickedness. They live by the entity that governs through what people think, feel, do, and say and depend on it to win the battle against sin. This entity replaces the human conscience and spirit to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through people and those who welcome it are considered righteous. The masses of people around the world are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. In their global culture, there is no righteousness in Jesus Christ, no wickedness, and no soul. Their righteousness will not save them in the Day of the Lord.

Without the righteousness of Jesus Christ, there is no true righteousness. We live in a world without righteousness, that declares war on wickedness but has no belief in sin. Those without righteousness have waged a war on worldly wickedness, not spiritual wickedness. That describes a culture of people without a soul and whose righteousness does not exceed the righteousness of the human robot in the picture below.  “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron…” 1 Timothy 4:1-2

The picture below shows someone without righteousness, without wickedness, and without a soul. This is what happens when the conscience and spirit is replaced by the non-spiritual and artificial entity that gives people what to feel, think, do, and say.

Jewish wickedness does not prevent them from turning to Jesus Christ. “as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness;” Ezekiel 33:12b.

The wickedness of Israel is so wicked that that they conspired and daily sought for an opportunity to murder Jesus Christ. They picked up stones to stone Him to death, intended to throw Him off a cliff to murder Him, tried to get Him to confess to a crime deserving of death, tried to obtain false testimony from others against Him, and other ways as well. Eventually, it was the death on the Cross that Jesus Christ suffered, which was by the plotting of the Jewish people, but according to will of God for Him to atone for our sin as the Lamb of God.

As wicked as what the Jewish people were then, they continue to turn from the will of God today by rejecting Jesus Christ. In fact, they are grouped together with the world government, and the unbelieving global culture, as they were when this verse was written, “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 wicked as what the wickedness of the Jewish people is, they will be forgiven and granted eternal life in the day they return to God through Jesus Christ. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13

The Apostle Paul, when he was known as Saul, was one of the worst of the worst of the Jewish people when it came to his spiritual wickedness. Paul himself said, “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers’ law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today. I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women, as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the council of the elders, from whom I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring in chains even those who were there to Jerusalem to be punished.” Acts 22:3-5

Paul saw the light of Jesus Christ and became a Christian filled with the Holy Spirit. The wickedness of Saul/Paul could not prevent him from receiving eternal life on the day he turned to Jesus Christ. Paul is our example of God’s Salvation plan through Jesus, “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18

This is the promise made to us, “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

O for the wonderful love he has promised,
promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon,
pardon for you and for me.

Come home, come home;
you who are weary come home;
earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
calling, O sinner, come home!
[Tenderly and Gently Jesus is Calling Hymn]

Jewish people who turn from the righteousness of Jesus Christ dies in their sin. “nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.’” Ezekiel 33:12c.

This verse refers to all of the Jewish people who lived in the righteousness of God but turned away from Him by rejecting Jesus Christ. Sin is to turn from God, to discard the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and to be oppressive to the Holy Spirit. There are also those who turn away from the righteousness found in Jesus Christ to choose the life of sin instead. There is one very notable Jewish person who walked in the righteousness of Jesus Christ but sinned against Him. Judas was his name, and he died in his sin.

Judas betrayed our Lord Jesus, and Jesus was arrested and crucified. Before his betrayal of Jesus, Judas was chosen to be one of the Twelve Apostles, and was even given power to cast out demons, to heal the sick, and to preach the Gospel of Christ. Judas was living a righteous life but he sinned and died in his sin. As described in the verses below,

“And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.” Matthew 10:1-4

As followers of Jesus Christ, there is an entity that has the power to enflame physiological desires, desires to serve the will of the flesh and to lose focus on living for Jesus Christ. We are made to think thoughts that cause us to question our Christianity. We are made to feel things to make us question our life in Christ Jesus. We are made to say things that we regret saying, and we are made to do things that make us doubt our devotion to Jesus. Through it all, keep believing in the Living God, and do not succumb to atheism. Keep lifting up the name of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Keep embracing the presence of the Holy Spirit.

“….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

Have we trials and temptations?
  Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
  Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
  Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
  Take it to the Lord in prayer.
[What a Friend We Have in Jesus Hymn]

Human righteousness apart from Jesus Christ is sin and is not recognized by God. “When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die.” Ezekiel 33:13

The Jewish culture is living in their own righteousness because they have rejected the righteousness of God that comes through Jesus Christ. They will die in their sin.

To trust in our own righteousness is to put the human view of what is right and wrong above God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. That describes the world culture we live in today. The human conscience and spirit have been replaced by the entity that gives people what to feel, think, do, and say. Self-righteousness builds a wall against Jesus Christ and enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people which decides for them what is right and wrong. They live by a worldly righteousness as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. In that righteousness, they are living in unbelief and God will not remember any of the good works that they do. They will die in their sin.

Today, humanism is the standard of righteousness, and humanism is the fig leaf worn by those who live for the atheistic entity governing through what they think, feel, do, and say. 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.”

Every day, we see the righteousness of humanism being promoted through the “sustainability goals” of the United Nations. Those goals are in every city around the world and promoted through those who welcome the entity that gives them what to feel, think, say, and do. However, they reject the compassion and love of God, they scoff at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and they oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. They will die in their sin. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9, and the more powerful the United Nations becomes as the one world government the more intense the heat of global warming becomes. God sends global warming worldwide so that people will turn to Him through Jesus Christ and receive the Holy Spirit.

As the Apostle Paul said through the Holy Spirit, “So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.” Romans 9:16

Below are the “sustainability goals” of the United Nations that we are exposed to every day. “…but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die.”

Spiritually wicked of this world enters Salvation by repentance of sin. “Again, when I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right, if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die.” Ezekiel 33:14-15

God has made it clear that the result of spiritual wickedness is death to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit which brings about eternity in hell. The wages of sin is death. However, if anyone at all reconciles to God through Jesus Christ, that person will have spiritual life and eternal life in the New Jerusalem. The gift of God is eternal life. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

When we come to Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, we are restoring to God everything taken away from Him [our soul] when we were living in unbelief. From there, we walk in the Holy Spirit and not according to the flesh as we feed on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. and the entire Holy Bible. To not walk in iniquity is to believe in the Living God, acknowledge Jesus as Christ and Lord, and to embrace the Holy Spirit in our life.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 God forgets our sin when we live for Jesus Christ.

God remembers none of our sin when He sees Jesus Christ in us. “None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right; he shall surely live.” Ezekiel 33:16

Once we begin living for God through Jesus Christ, He no longer remembers our sin. “Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity…Because He delights in mercy, He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” Micah 7:18-19

All the iniquities of the Jewish people could be forgiven today if they were to receive Jesus as their Christ and Lord. “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

God forgives and forgets but the atheistic entity of this world never will. The entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say is a tool of Satan. This entity fills the thoughts of the followers of Jesus Christ with every sin imaginable, makes us feel horrid for past sins, makes us say and do things we regret. The masses of the global culture choose to live by this entity and are comforted in their rejection of Jesus Christ and in their blaspheme of the Holy Spirit. They are empowered with uncanny knowledge and heightened intuition to keep our shortcomings front-and-center by what they are given to say and do.

Satan is the accuser who never wants us to forget our regrettable, shameful and guilty behavior. Jesus Christ is our High Priest who says, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan!

“Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?” Zachariah 3:1-2

God’s way of determining righteousness is fair, not the way of the Jewish people.
The house of Israel says God’s way is not fair, but their way is not fair. “Yet the children of your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ But it is their way which is not fair!” Ezekiel 33:17 

Today, the Jewish people in all parts of the world are echoing the same words that was spoken when Jesus Christ walked this earth, “God’s ways are not fair.” They did not believe then and they do not believe now that the Salvation of God comes through Jesus Christ for the whosoever.  This is the word of God, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13

Even today, the Jewish people do not recognize those who follow Jesus Christ as receiving Salvation to become the children of God. In other words, they discard Jesus Christ, discard the whole Christian population, discard the entire New Testament [the Gospel of Christ], and deny that Jesus Christ is the only way to God. In essence, they want to go back to the Old Testament times when the Jewish people held exclusive rights to God.

Every time the Jewish people are confronted with the following verse, they shake their head “No!” and in their spirit are saying it’s not fair for God to accept Christians as His children, “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

Obviously, it is God’s way that is fair to bring His Salvation to whoever believes in His Son Jesus Christ. The ways of the Jewish people are not fair who wants to maintain exclusive rights to God and consider everyone else to be rejected by God.

Jesus Christ spoke the Parable of the Prodigal Son to illustrate how unfair the Jewish people thought God’s ways were. Jesus Christ taught them that it is their ways that are unfair but God’s loving and compassionate ways are fair. Below are excerpts from the Parable of the Prodigal Son,

“And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living…And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.

But when he came to himself, he said… I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’…And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.

Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing…But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’

Jesus Christ is the fatted calf who was slain for sinners who were dead in sin and made alive again in the Spirit, who were lost and are found. The Jewish people thought that was so unfair that they plotted to have Christ Jesus crucified.  “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners…” 1 Timothy 1:15

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
the emblem of suffering and shame;
and I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
[Church Hymn]

The Jewish people turned from God’s righteousness by rejecting Jesus Christ. “When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he shall die because of it.” Ezekiel 33:18

The Jewish people believe that their righteousness is different and better from the rest of the world because their belief is that only through the Old Testament is there a relationship with God. However, when they turned away from the righteousness of God that is found in Jesus Christ, they committed sin. They will die in that sin until they say that Jesus Christ is their Messiah. Jesus said to the Jewish people, “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20 Jesus also said to the Jewish people, “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 23:38-39

Judas Iscariot was a righteous follower of Jesus Christ and even one of the Twelve Apostles. He cast out demons, healed the sick, and preached the testimony of Jesus Christ, as described in Matthew 10:1-4. Judas turned from the righteousness He had in Jesus Christ and betrayed Jesus with a kiss to turn Him over to be crucified. Judas died a brutal death on this earth as described in Acts 1:15-20 and he will suffer eternally in hell.

When we turn from the righteousness of God that we have in Jesus Christ, we revert back into sin, and the wages of sin is death. Jesus Christ keeps us on the narrow way of society by helping us to avoid serving the atheistic entity that replaces the human conscience and spirit by giving people what to feel, think, say and do. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. They detest the righteousness of God, scoff at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ and oppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit. People are caused to turn from the righteousness of God, to walk in sin, and they die spiritually in the process. Their destiny is eternal hell. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. The broad way of mainstream society leads to destruction.

God says whoever turns from sin towards Jesus Christ will have ternal life. “But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is lawful and right, he shall live because of it.” Ezekiel 33:19

By the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul makes it clear what it means to turn from sin and to receive Salvation through Jesus Christ. “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.” Romans 10:8-10

Being born of water is to attest to our humanness, we are not welcoming to the entity that replaces the human conscience and spirit by giving us what to think, feel, do, and say. Being born of the Spirit is to welcome the Holy Spirit into our spirit by the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. “Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” John 3:5-6

When I have to be at doctor appointments, I think to myself, “My fleshly body is in the hands of the doctors, but my soul is in the hands of Jesus Christ.”

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:1-2

“But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:22-23

The Apostle Peter had his time of difficulties when he denied Jesus Christ three times (Luke 22:54-62). But he was very remorseful afterwards, repented, and Christ Jesus built His Church through the confession that Peter made, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” (Matthew 16:15-19). After the resurrection of Jesus, Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved Him, Peter said “Yes”, and Jesus said, “Tend My sheep” (John 21:15-19}.

As followers of Jesus Christ, when we feel and think we have let Him down by what we have said or done, let’s remember His grace, mercy, compassion, and forgiveness that He showed to Peter.

God will judge each one of us by His righteousness not by Jewish righteousness. “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ O house of Israel, I will judge every one of you according to his own ways.” Ezekiel 33:20

Being Jewish is not our Salvation, Salvation is of the heart, spirit, and soul of each person as individuals. He is not a Jew who is one inwardly, but He is a Jew who comes to God through Jesus Christ. “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

“And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.” Revelation 20:12

In this world, we are judged by the rules, laws, and societal norms of this world, but we will all be judged through Jesus Christ in life beyond the grave. Unfortunately, the judgment of this world comes through the atheistic entity that has power over physiology to give people what to think, feel, say, and do. This entity has already judged against belief in God, the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and living in the presence of the Holy Spirit. This atheistic entity replaces the human conscience and spirit to enliven the image of the beast to speak and live through people. Today’s culture is groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

We watchmen can now open our mouth concerning the fulfilled prophecies against Israel.
The word has been heard that Israel has been captured. “And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, that one who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me and said, “The city has been captured!” Ezekiel 33:21

Ezekiel prophesied about the destruction of Jerusalem, the desolation of the temple, and the slaughter of the sons and daughters of the Israelites. That was fulfilled while Ezekiel was still alive, and a survivor came to Ezekiel to inform him, “The city has been captured!”

The date given in the verse is like us saying today that in the seventy-ninth year of our captivity under the United Nations, in the fifth month and twenty-second day, that we were informed that the State of Israel has been captured.

We are just inches away from the land of Israel being totally brought under the thumb of the United Nations. The UN is steadily progressing towards being established as the one world government. At any moment, in a very near time, the implementation of the “Two State Solution” will be declared, and the government of Israel will be compelled to comply. This involves declaring a territory for the Palestinian State to be established the same as what Israel was declared a state in 1948. The State of Israel and the Palestinian State will share territory and exist side-by-side. This will cause West Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel and East Jerusalem to be the capital of Palestine. This is furthering the process of capturing the land of Israel to be brought 100% under the thumb of the United Nations.

The members of the United Nations want the whole Middle East Region to be unified and captured, not just a “Two State Solution” of almost capturing all of Israel. As time progresses, even after the “Two State Solution” is established, the promise given to Israel of peace and safety will be broken. The world government and its global culture intend to rid the world of every ounce of Israeli independence. They intend to desolate Israel as we know her today. This allows formation of the one world government, one global culture.

The State of Israel is surrounded on all sides not just by the Middle East enemies. Israel is surrounded by the hostility that exists against her from all across the globe and even within her own borders. The global culture in cities around the world riot and protest against the existence of the Jewish State of Israel. With that, the United Nations has opened a genocide case against the government of Israel, World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel. Also, the members of the UN are pursuing arrest warrants for the Israeli PM and other high-level Israeli officials for allegedly committing war crimes. On top of that, the United States is pushing for a “Two State Solution” in conformity to the will of the United Nations. The United States has even declared it illegal for Israelis to occupy 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. With all of that, the Israeli citizens routinely riot and protest for their government to conform to the will of the goals of the United Nations.

The announcement of the 100% capture of Israel is just footsteps away.

What is driving the fight for regional unification in the process of empowering the United Nations as the one world government? The driving force is the entity that has power over physiology and governs through thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. By what they say and do they detest Israel, America, God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The intent is to establish the one world government of the beast and by what they are given to say and do they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

Watchmen mouth is opened to speak from the prophecy of God’s word. “Now the hand of the Lord had been upon me the evening before the man came who had escaped. And He had opened my mouth; so when he came to me in the morning, my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.” Ezekiel 33:22

Ezekiel was muted in chapter 3:22-27, when he was restricted to his home because those who rejected God refused to allow him to circulate through their society with the word from God. Ezekiel did a lot of show-and-tell to illustrate the word of God and he wrote a lot. They did not want Ezekiel to speak the word of God in their city. Now, Ezekiel is able to speak as his prophecy was proven true about Jerusalem going into captivity. Like today, the followers of Jesus Christ are muted from speaking the Gospel of Christ and are restricted from interacting within the social network of the society of today’s culture. However, the prophecies of the word of God against Israel have and are coming to pass and we have a lot to talk about.

As followers of Jesus Christ, the hand of the Lord is on us in these evening hours as Israel is being taken. The Lord has opened our mouth during this time through the prophecies of the Bible, such as through the writings of Ezekiel. When people come to us to speak of Israel, this is the morning where we are able to share the light of the word of God to confirm the fulfillment of prophecy.

We can see the prophecies of the Holy Bible happening concerning the State of Israel going into captivity since immediately after 1945. The United Nations was established immediately after WW2 in 1945 and began to work on a plan for bringing relief to the Jewish people after the Holocaust of WW2. In 1947, the members of the UN and high-level representatives of the Jewish people signed an agreement to establish the State of Israel. In 1948, the Jewish people gathered from all across the globe to settle in their newly formed Jewish State.

Unfortunately, the United Nations brought the government of the beast with it as described in Daniel 8 and also Revelation 17. The gathering of the Jewish people to Israel would be the beginning of much hardship and the progressing capture of Israel by the world government and its global culture. 

The gathering of the Jewish people to the land of Israel was by the will of God 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.” Ezekiel 22:19-20 Also in Ezekiel 30:24.

Since 1948, from the time that the members of the United Nations have had their eye on the State of Israel, the Israelis have been involved in 17 wars. They were even in a war in 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. On top of that, they are under constant pressure to conform to the will of the United Nations, to conform to a plan of peace through a “Two State Solution”, they are pressured by their closest ally (the United States) to conform to the will of the world government, the global culture are hostile to the existence of the State of Israel, and even the Israeli citizens riot and protest against their own government to demand conformity to global standards.

Jewish people believed that their masses of people gave them the right to inherit the land of Israel. “Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Son of man, they who inhabit those ruins in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one, and he inherited the land. But we are many; the land has been given to us as a possession.'” Ezekiel 33:23-24

Before the Jewish people were gathered to the State of Israel in 1948, the land of Israel was desolate and in ruins, as far as Jewish occupation or rule. From about 70A.D. to 1948 [1878 years], the Jewish people were scattered and dispersed around the world and the land of Israel sat in ruins without the Jewish people to rule and occupy as their nation. In 70A.D., the Roman general Titus destroyed Jerusalem and totally demolished the temple, just 37 years after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our Lord prophesized about this in Matthew 24:1-2. At that time, the Jewish people fled from Jerusalem and over the span of 1878 years were dispersed around the globe.

When the Jewish people were regathered to Israel in 1948, they were those who occupied the ruins that were desolate of Jewish rule for 1878 years. They brought with them their old customs of the Jewish culture. They continued to esteem Abraham as being greater than their Messiah, Jesus Christ. They continued to turn from the will of God for them to accept Jesus as their Christ and Lord as they live only by the Old Testament and have discarded the New Testament [the Gospel of Jesus Christ].

The picture to the left is the land of Israel of the Old Testament given to the Jewish people as described in Ezekiel 48. The picture in the middle is the land of Israel between about 70AD and 1948 when it was desolate of Jewish occupation/rule. The picture to the right is the land of Israel as it is today after the Jewish people were regathered there in 1948.

In 1948, the Jewish people felt that by the multitude of their numbers they would be able to successfully occupy Israel and be able to keep it as their possession. They were thinking strength in numbers not strength in the Spirit of God through Jesus Christ. There are about 16 million Israelis in the land of Israel. The heritage of the Jewish culture has always been to believe that they were the children of Abraham, part of the promised seed that would be many like the number of stars in the sky (Genesis 15:1-5). Also, Abraham entered Canaan by himself, as the only one able to keep alive the Jewish lineage, and Canaan is known as the promised land (Genesis 12:1-5). In their attitude and spirit, they were echoing these words, ‘”Abraham was only one, and he inherited the land. But we are many; the land has been given to us as a possession.“

However, Jesus Christ has something to say about the Jewish people believing that Abraham is their father but not believing in Him. In fact, Jesus Christ said their father was Satan, John 8:44-45. The promise that God made to Abraham, about his seed being like the number of stars in the sky, referred to Abraham believing God and that was counted as righteousness in the eyes of God. Abraham’s seed includes the multitude of people who believe God and receive righteousness through Jesus Christ. The Jewish people of today are not Abraham’s seed because they reject Jesus Christ. Romans chapter 4 explains all of this.

The State of Israel is far from being the promised land that we inherit as the adopted children of Abraham through Jesus Christ. The eternal New Jerusalem, in the new heaven and earth, is the promised land we inherit by believing God and receiving righteousness through our Lord Jesus. The State of Irael is the place where the fury of God’s judgment comes against the Jewish people, whose father is Satan. “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.” Ezekiel 22:19-20

Below are excerpts from John 8:37-47 where Jesus says to the Jewish people that their father is Satan not Abraham,

Jesus said, “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.” They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.”

Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.” 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.” John 8:37-44

Today, the world government and its global culture believe that they inherit this planet because they are many and those who oppose them are few. In fact, they ritualistically use the phrase “there’s one” when pointing to someone who is not part of their culture. They say it with a menacing tone of voice, on the border of being threatening, to single out those that are not part of their society. They live by the entity that gives them what to feel about “0ne”, what to think about “one”, and what to say and do to “one”. They are emboldened by the power of their masses as they boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4 This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

Israel is a land of bloodshed and serving the false god of this world. “Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “You eat meat with blood, you lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood. Should you then possess the land?” Ezekiel 33:25

The phrase, “You eat meat with blood”, refers to a violation of the Jewish law that is written in Deuteronomy, “Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life; you may not eat the life with the meat.” Deuteronomy 12:23 Because the blood is life, it was drained from the animal and then used to sprinkle on the altar when offering sacrifices to God to atone for sin. The Israelites weren’t doing that. The Jewish people of today are not doing that either. The blood of Jesus Christ was poured out on the altar of the Cross to give us life in the Spirit, and eternal life, by the remission of sin. The Jewish people are not allowing His blood to be poured out onto the altar of their soul for the atonement of their sin. Jesus the Christ says, “For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26:28

The phrase, “…you lift up your eyes toward your idols…”, refers to the Israelites abandoning the word of God to serve the false gods of other nations. They abandoned the Ten Commandments and other such laws. Today, the Jewish people has made their culture an idol by putting it above the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ and to live in the presence of the Holy Spirit. They have discarded the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the entire New Testament, to live only by the Old Testament. They lift their eyes to the idol of their Jewish nation. Also, the Israeli citizens have lifted their eyes up to the false god of this world that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. That is seen as they riot and protest routinely against their own government to demand conformity to the will of the United Nations. They are atheist that do not believe in the Living God, they discard the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and they oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The words, “…and shed blood.”, refers to the bloodshed of violence that is being committed through the government of the State of Israel. On top of rejecting the blood of Jesus Christ being poured out to atone for sin, and they lift up their eyes to a false god, they routinely engage in bloodshed. The Israelis have been involved in 17 wars since the State of Israel was established in 1948, they were even in a war in 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.

God motivates Ezekiel to pose this question to the Israelites, “Should you then possess the land?” That is the question posed to the Israelis within the State of Israel today. Should they possess the land of Israel while they reject the atonement that Jesus Christ made for them on the altar of the Cross? Should they possess the land of Israel while they serve the false god of this world and even the Jewish culture that they serve above Christ Jesus? Should they possess the land of Israel while routinely shedding blood in constant wars? The answer to those questions is obviously “No!” The hand of God is bringing that answer through the international community, the members of the United Nations, and the masses of people of the global culture around the world.

Today, the world government and its global culture reject the blood that Christ poured out on the Cross to atone for sin. They lift their eyes to the atheistic god of this world that gives them what to think, feel, say, and do. Much blood is being shed in cities everywhere in the process of the United Nations being established as the one world government. God poses this question to the world culture, “Should you possess the world as your land?” The answer is obviously “No!” as written in this verse, “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

Israel relies on armaments and lives in spiritual corruption. “You rely on your sword, you commit abominations, and you defile one another’s wives. Should you then possess the land?” Ezekiel 33:26

Today, if someone did a word-association with Israel, the word associated with her would be war or conflict or division. Israel is definitely well-publicized in the news media of relying on their military, as God says to Israel, “You rely on your sword…”

Since 1948, the government of the State of Israel has been relying on the sword. They rely on the sword instead of relying on the Spirit of God, but God says “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’” Zachariah 4:6 Since the year the Jewish State was established in 1948, she has been in 17wars, and even a war in 1948.

Abominations are something intensely disapproved of by God. God intensely dislikes atheism that has no belief in Him as the Living God, and discards the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and excludes the presence of the Holy Spirit from day-to-day living. Believing in God requires receiving Jesus as Christ and Lord and making the presence of the Holy Spirit a part of who we are. The Jewish people are not doing that, whether they live in Israel or other parts of the world. God is a Trinity, so to accept one is to accept all, as belief entails living for God through Jesus Christ who gives us the Holy Spirit. The Jewish people have discarded the entire New Testament, which is the Gospel of Christ, and they live only by the Old Testament. God says to Israel, “…you commit abominations…”.

We also see the abominations of Israel in that they have the most liberal abortion rights in the world, promote the lifestyles of the LGBQT community, the citizens riot and protest against their government to demand conformity to the will of the members of the United Nations, are involved in sexual immorality, and make war and bloodshed a part of their culture. God poses the question to Israel, “Should you then possess the land?”

Today’s culture functions through physiology, not so much in the Spirit, because they live for the atheistic entity that has its power through physiology. This entity replaces the human conscience and spirit by giving people what to feel, think, do, and say. This entity gives life to the image of the beast to speak and live through people, “Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Romans 1:24-25 The masses of the people of today’s culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. God says to them “Should you then possess the land?“

“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 “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14

The sword, the beasts, and pestilence comes against Israel. “Say thus to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “As I live, surely those who are in the ruins shall fall by the sword, and the one who is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and caves shall die of the pestilence.” Ezekiel 33:27

We can consider the phrase, “…those who are.in the ruins shall fall by the sword…”, to be referring to the Jewish people within the State of Israel that are constantly engaged in war and will eventually fall by the sword. We can consider the phrase, “… the one who is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured…”, to be referring to the Jewish people who live outside the State of Israel in other countries around the world. The majority, who do not live in Israel, lives in America. Those Jewish people will be given to be devoured by those who have a hatred for the Jewish people. We can consider the phrase, “…those who are in the strongholds and caves shall die of the pestilence...”, to be referring to those who are Jewish, but are not within the State of Israel and not among the Jewish population in other countries. They are basically in hiding by not directly associating themselves with the Jewish culture. They will die of pestilence, which usually refers to illnesses, disease, epidemics, and other health related ailments.

The atheistic world government, through the United Nations, is bringing ruin and destruction to the State of Israel. The atheistic global culture of this world’s system devours the Jewish people who are outside the State of Israel and living in other countries across the globe. The remainder of the Jewish people, who try to avoid appearing among the population of the global culture, and avoid being associated with the Jewish culture, will die by pestilence.

We can assess that God has granted us eternal life in the New Jerusalem, a place of security and peace in the Spirit of God, and we feed on the healing leaves of the Tree of Life. The diagnosis is that this present world system will lie in ruins, with no protection from being devoured by the beasts in the coming global tribulation and will die by pandemics with no place to hide. We plan to live for God through Jesus Christ who gives us life so that we will not perish, “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 We implement that plan by believing in our heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessing with our mouth that He is Lord. We know that plan is successful when we are built up in the Holy Spirit, we let His light shine in us in the open fields, and we find shelter in the Cleft of the Rock, who is Jesus our Lord.

Arrogant military strength of Israel is made to cease. “For I will make the land most desolate, her arrogant strength shall cease, and the mountains of Israel shall be so desolate that no one will pass through. Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have made the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’ Ezekiel 33:28-29

The arrogant strength of Israel will cease, which refers to her use of military power and might nowadays. God says this this to Israel and all of us, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.” Zachariah 4:6 The land of Israel will be made desolate, as written about in Ezekiel 39 referring to the “day after”, the day after the Battle of Armageddon Revelation 16:12-16. The land of this atheistic world system will also be made desolate in the Day of the Lord.

Jesus Christ says this to Israel, “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

If the Jewish people would have received Jesus Christ 2000 years, they would be serving God as Christians instead of clinging to their Jewish culture. In that light, the Jewish State of Israel would never have come into existence because as Christians we do not have a nation on this earth to call our own. As followers of Jesus Christ, our nation is the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth.

Beside the abomination of relying on guns and bombs instead of living for God through Jesus Christ, the Israelis have the most liberal abortion right laws in the world, they embrace the promotion of the LGBQT lifestyles, and the Israeli citizens riot and protest against their own government to demand conformity with the goals of the United Nations to be the one world government of the bast, “ I have made the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.”

The churches are filled with phonies that care nothing for the true word of God.
Global culture gathers in the churches under false pretenses. “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.’” Ezekiel 33:30

Ezekiel was speaking the word of God to his own people, people who were supposed to be eager to hear the words of the Prophets of God. Instead, they conspired with one another and with sarcasm and mockery in their voice they said, “Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.”

The Church was established by God to be a light shining with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and with fellowship in the Holy Spirit. However, today’s atheistic global culture has conspired against the churches due to their detest for belief in God, disregard for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and the oppression of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Their conspiracy is to fill the seats of the churches to be the overwhelming and dominate numbers of the congregation. “They speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord’”.

The global culture that fills the seats of the churches serve the god that has power over physiology to give them what to believe, think, say, do, and feel. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them and by what they are given to say and do they detest Jesus Christ being the head of the Church. With mockery, sarcasm, and blaspheme they say, “Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.” The congregation of the global culture within the churches are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

Global culture comes to the churches, they do not follow Jesus Christ, they show worldly love but pursue their own purpose “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.” Ezekiel 33:31

Revelation 2:8-11 describes the churches filled with those who say they are Christian but are not.

The global culture sits in the seats of the churches as the overwhelming portion of the congregation, as if they are the people of God. The god they serve has nothing to do with Jesus Christ nor the Holy Spirit. God is a Trinity, so anytime the Living God is served and worshipped, the name of Jesus Christ will be lifted up as Lord and the presence of the Holy Spirit will fill the spirit and soul. The true people of God hear the words of Jesus and lives by them through the Holy Spirit. The congregation of the global culture hears the words coming from the Bible but do not do them. Their god gives them what to do and say and they are hostile to the Gospel of Christ.

The blasphemous congregation within the churches show a lot of love with their mouth, but their hearts pursue their own purpose. They are filled with humanistic and churchy sounding words, but they shun the Light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are like those who serve angels and are nothing like those who serve God in the name of Jesus through the Holy Spirit, “Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,” Colossians 2:18 “By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.” Romans 16:18 “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

The masses of the global culture of today are in every city around the world and humanism is the fig leaf they wear to cover the atheistic entity that governs through their thoughts, words, behaviors, and feelings. They lift people up through esteem and dignity and detest people being referred to as sinners in need of forgiveness through Jesus Christ. They serve the creature instead of God the Creator. 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.”

Church has become a time of pleasant words and lovely music, but not preaching the message of the Cross. “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.” Ezekiel 33:32

To the global culture, the churches are just a place to hear a lovely song being sung and lovely music being played. Music and songs in the churches are contemporary to please the emotions of today’s atheistic culture. The words coming from the preacher are nothing more to them than a pleasant voice that knows how to make them feel good. They hear the words of humanism but discard the message of the Cross. They serve the creature instead of serving God the Creator as they pursue their own purpose. They seek emotional satisfaction instead of communion with the Holy Spirit and the name of Christ Jesus means nothing to them. “For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them.’” Matthew 13:15

We can assess that the Church has been established on the proclamation that Jesus is the Christ and Son of God. The diagnosis is that today’s churches are filled with music and words that are pleasing to those who serve the atheistic entity that gives them what to feel, do, say, and think about what happens in the churches. As followers of Jesus Christ, we plan to lift up the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is that our Lord Jesus gave His life on the Cross to atone for sin, was raised from the dead after three days in the grave, ascended into Heaven, and because He lives, we will live eternally with Him. We implement that plan by believing in our heart that Jesus is alive, and we communicate that He is Lord. We know that plan is successful because the Holy Spirit says to us, “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

This has come to pass, and we know a prophet has been among us. “And when this comes to pass—surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.” Ezkiel 33:33

The Prophecy coming through Ezekiel about the corruption of the churches has already come to pass. Many other Prophecies of the Bible have also come to pass, which is easy for all the world to see. The Prophets of God are certainly among us within the pages of the Bible and the word of God is true.

Below is a list of Prophecies anyone can see in the world today.

1. Jesus Christ has come, who is the fulfillment of the scriptures of the Old Testament. Isaiah 53 is a very detailed prophecy of Jesus Christ who died on the Cross to the atone for sin, was raised from the dead after three days, ascended into Heaven, and because He lives, we will have eternal life too.
2. The global government is here. In 1945, immediately after WW2, the United Nations was established and brought the world government of the beast with it. That is described in Daniel 8. The description of the formation of the global government is also in Revelation 17.
3. The Jewish people have been gathered to Israel. In the Old Testament, the Jewish people occupied the territory of the land of Israel. Since around 70AD to 1948, the Jewish people were scattered and dispersed after the Roman general Titus destroyed Jerusalem in 70AD. The land of Israel was desolate for 1878 years of Jewish occupation, control, or government. In 1948, the Jewish State of Israel was established, and the Jewish people were regathered there from all across the globe. God said He would gather them there, after being scattered and dispersed, to unleash 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.” Ezekiel 22:19
4. The global culture of the beast as described in Revelation 13 is here. The entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say is here. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city across the globe. The masses of people form the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.
5. Global warming is here. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9. Global warming progresses hand-in-hand with the United Nations. The more powerful the United Nations becomes as the one world government, the more intense the heat of global warming becomes. Global warming is instrumental in bringing down the power center of the beast (Revelation 16:10-11). The entity that governs by giving people what to think, feel, do and say will be no more. That renders the world government of the beast and its global culture powerless. In that powerlessness, the Battle of Armageddon arises in the Sixth Plague. From there, comes the Day of the Lord and the return of Jesus Christ.
