Israel lifts itself up, solicits worldly favor, and turns their back on God and Jesus Christ

Israel builds herself a shrine and her beauty is abhorred.
Israel builds herself a shrine with a false place of worship on every street. “Then it was so, after all your wickedness— ‘Woe, woe to you!’ says the Lord God— that you also built for yourself a shrine, and made a high place for yourself in every street.” Ezekiel 16:23-24

The “woes” are a response to the Jewish people turning away from God, rejecting Jesus Christ as their Messiah, and oppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit. The shrine that they have built is called the State of Israel, which was erected in 1948. The “high place” refers to the worship of a false god, which is anything or anyone that is used to replace the will of God for us to live for Jesus Christ. 2000 years ago, the Jewish people rejected Jesus Christ and exalted their Jewish culture above God. In “every street” refers to the ability to come and go, and the Jewish State of Israel is lifted up above Jesus Christ wherever they go. All of their streets lead to the State of Israel referring to international affairs and affairs within the Middle East. Those streets should be leading to God through Jesus Christ.

The shrine of the State of Israel would never have been erected if the Jewish people had received Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. 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.

This is spoken to the churches of today, “Woe, woe to you!’ says the Lord God…” In America, there is a shrine, or church built on practically every block, and every street leads to a church. A common cliche is, “There is a church built on every street corner.” Today, those churches have made for themselves a high place where they worship the false god of this world. No longer is God thought of as a Trinity who includes Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and God. They mention God, but if they are not lifting up the Gospel of Jesus Christ and encouraging living in the presence of the Holy Spirit, they are serving a false god.

The false god that the masses of the churches serve today is the entity that gives them what to think, feel, say, and do. They have joined with the will of the community family instead of being set apart to live for God through Jesus Christ. The entity giving them what to feel and think enables the image of the beast to speak and live through them. The churches have become training centers to encourage living by the entity giving people what to say and do, and to sing praises to their false god. The churches have joined with today’s culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. The entity they serve is associated with the space shuttles, space station, and space satellites as described in Ezekiel in Chapter 1.

Judges 17 gives an example of building idols and then hiring “live-in” priests to give his seal of approval. Micah is the one who built the false god and hired the approving priest but is not the same as Micah of the Book of Micah.

Israel made her beauty to be abhorred in multiplying her harlotry. “You built your high places at the head of every road, and made your beauty to be abhorred. You offered yourself to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your acts of harlotry.” Ezekiel 16:25

The opinion of the masses of people of the global culture, in cities around the world, is that Israel is the ugliest presence in the world today. They riot and protests against the existence of the abhorrent State of Israel. This is part of the fury of God’s judgment against Israel, He has made their beauty to be abhorred. The members of the United Nations are declaring how ugly the State of Israel is, as they have opened a case of genocide against the Israeli government, World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel.  The members of the UN have also issued arrest warrants against Israeli government officials for allegedly committing war crimes. With all of that, Israel has become ugly to America as the USA has brought sanctions against Israeli residences in the West Bank, US Imposes Sanctions On Israeli Settler Outposts. Also, “White House reverses West Bank policy, calling Israeli settlements illegal“.

God has made the beauty of Israel to be abhorred because of their acts of harlotry. They offer themselves to every type of worldly influence, power, prestige etc., especially in their alliance with America. Instead of giving themselves to influences of power and might, they should be maintaining their faithfulness to God, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.'” Zachariah 4:6 Harlotry is to turn away from the will of God to make something else more important. The will of God is for us to believe Jesus Christ and to embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The once beautiful churches are now abhorred by God because they are no longer a light shining with the Gospel of Christ. The churches offer themselves to any community cause that comes their way to intertwine with the community-family culture. That culture denies God, discards the need for Jesus Christ, and oppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit. The churches have multiplied their harlotry by becoming involved in many good works within the community instead of working for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This describes the Church of Ephesus.

God is provoked to anger against the harlotry of Israel.
God is provoked to anger by Israel’s harlotry with fleshly neighbors. “You also committed harlotry with the Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to provoke Me to anger.” Ezekiel 16:26

This verse refers to the Israelites turning to the Egyptians for military support in rebellion against their captivity to the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar. They were relying on the flesh instead of God. This is vividly described in Ezekiel chapter 17 and also Ezekiel chapter 19. The Jewish people committed harlotry by giving themselves to another nation, for military support, instead of obeying the will of God. Relying on rebellion, power, and might, is not what God wants, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.'” Zachariah 4:6

Today, the government of Israel has committed harlotry with the United States in order to receive military empowerment, training, intelligence, etc. They rely on the flesh instead of the Spirit of God. This provokes the anger of the Lord, and His judgment is coming against America and Israel even as I type this. Egypt is depicted as the United States as seen in Ezekiel chapters 17, 19, and 26 through 32.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we do not rely on the flesh that leads to riots, protests, force, armed rebellion, or any other such tactics. Our battle is not in the flesh but in the Spirit, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

“Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:1-7

God gives up Israel to those who hate her. “Behold, therefore, I stretched out My hand against you, diminished your allotment, and gave you up to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior.” Ezekiel 16:27

The “Philistines” were the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip in the Old Testament times. The “…daughters of the Philistines…” can be thought of as everyone who gathers with the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip to conspire against Israel. That would include the Palestinians of the West Bank, the people of Lebanon, Syria, Iran, etc. The State of Israel is being given up to those who hate her.

The hand of the Lord is stretched out against the State of Israel, meaning the wrath of His anger is coming against them. The Lord has been coming against the State of Israel since it was established in 1948. They have been involved in 18 wars since 1948, and even had a war in 1948.  Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. God gathered the Israelites to the State of Israel in 1948 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 22:19-20

For Israel’s allotment to be diminished is to have their territory reduced. That has definitely happened! The Gaza Strip has reduced a part of Israel’s territory, and the West Bank has reduced an even larger chunk. In fact, even Jerusalem is divided in half: half is in Israel (West Jerusalem) and half is in the West Bank (East Jerusalem). The establishment of the “Two State Solution” will continue to diminish the allotment of Israel. Israel indeed is being given up to her enemies and her allotment diminished. This is shown on the maps below.

The picture below shows the West Bank in white and also the Gaza Strip in white (southwest corner of Israel on the Mediterranean Sea). The orange color is the territory of Israel. Originally, all of the West Bank and Gaza Strip was colored orange.

The map below shows the original allotment of Israel before it was diminished by the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This picture cuts off the southern part of Israel, but it is shaped exactly like the picture above.

God is against the insatiable harlotry of Israel in seeking military power. “You also played the harlot with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied.” Ezekiel 16:28

The Israelites were insatiable in their quest for military empowerment to fight against their captivity to the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar. They turned not only to the Egyptians to weaponize them, but also to the Assyrians. The Assyrians were fierce and merciless. Ezekiel 17 and Ezekiel 19 reveals in detail the insatiable quest of Israel for military armament. God was not pleased with the Israelites for doing this, His way is one of peace, not rebellion, violence, and conflict.

The Babylonian Empire is symbolic of the world government of today and its global culture. Today, the government of the State of Israel is fighting against their captivity to the will of the United Nations. The goal of the United Nations is to be the one world government, but the independence of Israel is standing in the way of that. The members of the United Nations need a unified Middle East where the independence of the State of Israel does not exist. In that unification, they can progress forward in being the unified one world government.

All of the conflict and violence coming against Israel benefits the goal of the world government to batter Israel and wear her down into submission to the will of the United Nations. In that hostile Middle East environment, Israel has become insatiable for military empowerment. The Israelis have been in 18 wars since 1948, and the need for more military power will never be satisfied. Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. The Lord is not pleased with this, as violence and rebellion is not His way, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.” Zachariah 4:6

The government of the State of Israel has given themselves to whoever empowers them militarily while not remaining faithful to God through Jesus Christ. As followers of Jesus, relying on physical force and weapons is unfaithfulness to our Lord Jesus Christ, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 We put on the Armor of God, Ephesians 6:10-20.

God is against Israel for playing the harlot with far away economies. “Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry as far as the land of the trader, Chaldea; and even then you were not satisfied.” Ezekiel 16:29

About the only support Israel has ever had, from the day of the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, has been the United States. As seen in the book of Ezekiel, America is the one that empowers Israel militarily as well as economically. The economic powerhouse, the one Israel commits harlotry with “as far as the land of the trader” is described as America in Ezekiel 26 and Ezekiel 27 and Ezekiel 28. America is about 7,000 miles away from Israel.

The leaders of the government of the State of Israel have given themselves to the far away nation of the trader, America, and have not remained faithful to God through Jesus Christ. As Christians, to rely on worldly prosperity amounts to being unfaithful to Jesus Christ, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21 What does it profit to gain the world and lose the soul?

Israel has definitely gone very far to find a trading partner in the USA. The major trading partner of the State of Israel is the United States of America, by a long shot. The USA is her number one trading partner with the second being just a drop in the bucket. Israel does not have any trading partners in the Middle East, except a very small amount with United Arab Emirates.

Without the United States, Israel would be practically sunk in the area of trade. That is part of Israel’s harlotry, she relies more on economic prosperity than she does on the will of God. Unfortunately, playing the harlot with a powerful economic nation will not save her, “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?  Mark 8:36 

God is against the brazen and degenerate harlotry of Israel. “How degenerate is your heart!” says the Lord God, “seeing you do all these things, the deeds of a brazen harlot.” Ezekiel 16:30

God is calling the heart of Israel degenerate and their deeds like a brazen harlot because of their quest for military and economic empowerment. With boldness and without shame they turned to the Egyptians, Assyrians, and far away country of trade to fuel their rebellion against their captivity to the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. Their heart was degenerate as they turned away from the will of God for them to live peaceably under the authority of king Nebuchadnezzar. They were like a shameless and bold harlot who gave herself to anyone other than living by the commandments of God.

Today, the heart of the Jewish people is degenerate as they shamelessly reject the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior. They oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. Like a shameless harlot, they have formed a relationship with America to be empowered militarily and economically instead of bonding with God through Jesus Christ. They are using human efforts of the flesh and violence to fight against the will of the members of the United Nations that wants to unify the Middle East by subduing the independence of the State of Israel. The goal of the UN is to be established as the one world government, and the independence of Israel stands in their way.

We live in a world today with a culture that is degenerate within the spirit and soul as they play the harlot with the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity shamelessly and boldly hardens the human spirit and conscience against Jesus Christ to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through people. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

As people who live for God through Jesus Christ and made to be the temple of the Holy Spirit, we want no partnership with the culture of this world, “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.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-16

Israel is a harlot that doesn’t accept payments to attract others from all around.
Israel a harlot that scorns payment. “You erected your shrine at the head of every road, and built your high place in every street. Yet you were not like a harlot, because you scorned payment.” Ezekiel 16:31

In the eyes of God, scorning payment is to scorn any spiritual income that fosters belief in Him, scorning any spiritual income to acknowledge Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin, and scorning any spiritual income of the Holy Spirit. The Jewish people played the harlot when they erected their shrine, and they scorn any spiritual payments made to the will of God. The shrine of the Jewish people is the State of Israel, erected in 1948, which is a result of their rejection of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago.

If the Jewish people would have received spiritual payments in the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ, the shrine of the Jewish State of Israel would not exist today. If they were Christians, they would not be Jewish, and they would be rich in the payments of the Holy Spirit. 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 Jewish shrine of the State of Israel is erected at the head of every road. That is similar to placing a building [or a harlot] at a busy street corner, in this case, being a busy place of international coming and going. The State of Israel is built at the place of world affairs, economic trade, and military empowerment. The shrine of the State of Israel is acknowledged worldwide, but she scorns spiritual payments in the will of God for her to receive Jesus Christ. The Israeli citizens has a high place in every street, which is their service to the false god of the entity that gives them what to think, feel, say, and do. They want to be seen by the global community as being part of the global culture. This is like a harlot standing in a high place to be seen by everyone.

Today, churches exist on practically every street block of the United States of America. They freely serve the false god in the high places that gives them what to believe, think, feel, and do. They willingly offer themselves to the will of the global culture within the community around them. At the same time, they have abandoned any spiritual payments towards the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The entity that governs through their thoughts and feelings enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through them. The masses of people within the congregation of the churches are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Israel an adulterous wife who takes strangers instead of her husband. “You are an adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband.” Ezekiel 16:32

An adulterous wife is a woman who finds love in the arms of another man. The Jewish culture abandoned the love of their husband, God, when they rejected Jesus Christ as their Savior 2000 years ago. Now, they have thrown themselves into the arms of strangers, which are those who empower her militarily and economically. Specifically, as is obvious, the United States is the main one whom Israel has chosen to commit adultery with, instead of being faithful to her husband, God.

God mourns for and loves the masses of people of this world, and the Jewish culture, like a husband who mourns for and loves an adulterous wife. He has sent His Son Jesus Christ to reconcile each one of us to Him, “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

Jesus Christ shares with us the Parable of the Prodigal Son to describe His forgiveness after we chose loving the ways of this world more than Him. He wants to reconcile any differences between us and Him so that we can be reconciled to God, “For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:14-15

“For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:2-3 

Israel is a harlot that pays others to come to her from all around. “Men make payment to all harlots, but you made your payments to all your lovers, and bribed them to come to you from all around for your harlotry.” Ezekiel 16:33

Today, we can see how Israel has become the harlot of the United States, as she is known as an outpost of American democracy. Israel is lifted up as the only democracy in the Middle East region, surrounded by those who hate her and hate America. She has left the will of God for her to receive Jesus Christ and instead depends on the United States for her existence. Israel is not receiving any payments from America that would increase her riches in God by persuading her to live for Jesus Christ and to embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit. Instead, she is making payments and bribing America to come to her by being a loyal partner. The loyalty of her harlotry has brought Israel very far from the will of God that has resulted in 18 wars since the existence of the State of Israel in 1948, and even a war in that year, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.

The conflict in Israel is the fury of God’s judgment coming against her dross harlotry, “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

We live in a culture today where people live for the entity giving them what to think, say, do, and feel. This entity doesn’t even have to make any payments into the spirit and soul of the people to get them to form a bond. In fact, this entity hardens the spirit and soul against payments being made to Jesus Christ. People make payments from their soul as they express their atheism in denying God, scoff at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and ritualistically oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. Today’s culture bribes this entity to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through them because they lust for the empowerment of uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and talents, amazing physical abilities, sensual pleasures and comforts, etc. The masses of people of today’s culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Israel’s harlotry is opposite of other women because she pays but receives no payment. “You are the opposite of other women in your harlotry, because no one solicited you to be a harlot. In that you gave payment but no payment was given you, therefore you are the opposite.” Ezekiel 16:34

The Israelites gave themselves to the Egyptians, Assyrians, and other country, but those countries were not seeking Israel to bond with them. The Israelites did whatever they needed to in order to receive military and economic empowerment to rebel against their captivity to the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. Israel was like a harlot that no one was asking for, but she imposed herself on them. Israel gave payment for the support of other countries, but no payment was given to her to enrich themselves in the will of God.

Today, the government of the State of Israel is the harlot that no one was seeking but she sought out other countries to empower her militarily and economically. As is obvious, there are no countries in the Middle East region that will give Israel two cents to solicit their companionship with them. Those countries do not want to bond with the Jewish culture because they want unification in the Middle East as a Palestinian/Muslim region. More accurately, the world government wants to bring Israel into captivity of the goals of the United Nations. That goal is to unify the Middle East region by coercing Israel to surrender their independence so that the United Nations can progress in becoming the one world government.

Since 1948, when the State of Israel was established, the government of Israel sought out military and economic aid to help them fight against being captive to the hostilities all around her. The odds against Israel ever being free in that region is next to zero, as she 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. In that light, the government of Israel sought out someone to bond with her, and she chose a country far away, with great military and economic power. She gave herself in harlotry to America and asks for no spiritual payment to enrich her in the will of God, the knowledge of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. She has bonded with America to the extent that she is the only democracy in the Middle East region and relies on America for her very existence.

Today, people give away their heart and soul to the will of the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. They ask for no payment in return that would feed their spirit in the belief in God, the acknowledgement of the need for Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin, and in the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ says this to us, “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:36-38

God’s wrath comes against Israel through the world government.
Israel’s filthiness is poured out, nakedness uncovered, harlotry revealed, her idol worship, and slain children. “‘Now then, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God: “Because your filthiness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,” Ezekiel 16:35-36

This verse above gives the reasons why God is pouring His wrath upon the Israelis, which He said He would do, “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

1. Their harlotry is to offer themselves to the entities and countries of this world while abandoning the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior. Such as the government of Israel relying on economic and military empowerment instead of relying on the Spirit of God.
2. Their filthiness has been poured out. The spiritual filthiness of the Israelis is seen in many ways, such as in their constant wars, having the most liberal abortion rights in the world, promoting the lifestyles of the LGBQT lifestyles, riots and protests against their own government, etc.
3. Their nakedness is uncovered. The behaviors of the Israelis are habitually televised all around the world. Their nakedness is uncovered for everyone to see. Their many wars of the government of Israel are abhorred by the masses of people of the world, the global culture applauds the riots and protests of the Israeli citizens, and the Israeli’s embracement of abortion and LGBQT lifestyles is a mockery of them as the supposed people of God. The nakedness of the Israeli citizens is seen in their participation with the global culture in service to the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say. The nakedness of the government of Israel is seen in their rebellion against the will of the members of the United Nations/world government of the beast.
4. Their harlotry is seen with their lovers. Since the State of Israel was established in 1948, it became clear who their lovers are. They have abandoned their love for God for their love of merging with entities that can empower them militarily and economically. Today, we see her harlotry with her lover the United States.
5. Their service to abominable idols is seen. Their service to the false god in high places is clearly seen and is abominable. The Israeli citizens deny God’s love for them, deny the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. Their love is for the entity that governs through their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors which enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. In Ezekiel chapter 1, this abominable entity is associated with the space shuttle, space station, and space satellites. The Israelis conform to the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
6. Their unborn children are being killed. The killing of the unborn is a global goal of the United Nations through abortion rights [This is part of their “sustainability goals”]. In sacrifice to the will of the global culture, the Israelis have given the blood of their unborn children. They are also giving their children to the worldly culture by grooming them to be obedient to the entity that forms their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors.

The State of Israel is the place where God has gathered the Israelis to unleash the wrath of His judgment on them for their harlotry with this world. If they would have received Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, the State of Israel would not exist today. Instead of being a Jewish nation they would be Christian. 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.

Israel’s lovers and enemies will be gathered from all around against her. “…surely, therefore, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved, and all those you hated; I will gather them from all around against you and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.” Ezekiel 16:37

Israel used to have lovers around the world, such as America, Canada, and some European countries. As we can see today, those previous lovers are turning against her due to the government of Israel’s military aggression and refusal to recognize a “Two State Solution”. All of Israel’s previous lovers are now insisting that she conform to the will of the United Nations for a unified Middle East Region. Israel’s previous lovers are members of the United Nations that support the establishment of the one world government, which requires unification of all regions in the world.

The government of Canada supports the United Nations decision to hold Israel accountable for committing genocide. Around the world, boycotts are sprouting up against Israel. America has determined it to be illegal for Israel to live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, 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 United Nations has opened a case of genocide against the government of Israel, World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel. Also, the members of the United Nations are pursuing arrest warrants for officials of the Israeli government for allegedly committing war crimes.

The countries that the State of Israel has a hatred for are gathered all around her with violent intent. Her enemies exist within the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and more. They have been coming against Israel since 1948. The Israelis have been involved in 18 wars since 1948. Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.

All of the conflict happening to Israel is a result of her refusing Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, every single one. They insisted on lifting up the wholeness of their Jewish culture instead of humbling themselves to live individually for Jesus Christ as their Savior. If they were Christian and part of the body of Christ, the Jewish culture and Jewish State of Israel would not exist. 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.

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

Israel is judged with fury as a woman who breaks the covenant of marriage. “And I will judge you as women who break wedlock or shed blood are judged; I will bring blood upon you in fury and jealousy.” Ezekiel 16:38

God judges the Jewish people like a woman that broke away from marriage and like those who shed blood are judged. In the Old Testament, the Israelites were married to God through the Ten Commandments and other such laws. When they rejected Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, they walked out of their marriage to God, as quoted, “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.” John 1:11 Today, the Israelis are definitely being judged as those with a thirst for bloodshed. 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.

God is and will be bringing blood upon Israel in His fury and jealousy, and that is exactly why God gathered the Jewish people to Israel in 1948, “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

Today, we are very much seeing the prophecies of the Bible being fulfilled in this world. Those prophecies center around Israel and the world government. The world government is the United Nations that derives its power and authority from the entity with power over physiology. This entity gives people what to think, feel, do, and say to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through people in every city around the world. The masses of people form the global culture who are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

The word of God is very real, as is Jesus Christ, and being a Christian is a very simple thing, only believe, “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

Israel will be stripped and left bare by those of the world government. “I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your shrines and break down your high places. They shall also strip you of your clothes, take your beautiful jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.” Ezekiel 16:39

Israel is given into the hand of those she once committed harlotry with as well as into the hand of those around her whom she hates. In a sentence, the members of the United Nations have turned against Israel, which includes the hostile nations around her, as well as the masses of people of the global culture. In the eyes of the world, Israel has been laid naked and bare, mostly referring to her aggressive military and police action. In the eyes of the world, Israel is made to look ugly, unappealing, and nothing to be desired at all. In this world, Israel is left naked and bare.

Since the Jewish people rejected Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, they are no longer clothed in the righteousness of God which only comes through Jesus Christ. They are not adorned with the beauty of Holiness that comes through the Holy Spirit. They are not in the will of God and are left naked and bare without Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Today, this world has been given into the hand of the members of the United Nations and their global culture. The “Sustainability Goals” of the UN are in every city around the world, and permeates the agenda of local, state, and federal government. Those goals are in every school and every sector of society [See the chart below for the most prominent of those goals].

The world government and its global culture are empowered by the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people as they are groomed by the mark of the beast by what they say and do. “Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:6-8 The “he” in these verses is the beast of the image and mark of the beast.

In the culture of today, the churches have been stripped bare of belief in God, made ugly in the way they have tossed aside the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and how they are oppressive to the presence of the Holy Spirit. They are naked and laid bare as they boldly and shamelessly bond with the community culture instead of being set aside for the Gospel of Jeus Christ. This is just as our Lord Jesus said it would be when He is departed from the churches, “Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Matthew 24:2.

Below is the chart of the “Sustainability Goals” of the world government, and as you can see, these goals are everywhere in society,

The hostility of the global government of the beast towards Israel begins the tribulation.
The United Nations and its global culture come against Israel. “They shall also bring up an assembly against you, and they shall stone you with stones and thrust you through with their swords.” Ezekiel 16:40

The assembly that is being brought against Israel is the assembly of the United Nations and its global culture. The masses of the global culture riot and protests against the existence of the State of Israel as the members of the UN make legal rulings against the government of Israel. The goal is to establish the United Nations as the one world government, but until regional unification happens, the one world government will never exist. The independence of the Stat of Israel is an obstacle to establishing the one world government.

It’s obvious that Israel is being stoned and thrust with swords by the UN through the many legal mandates against her, as well as the proliferation of anti-Israel sentiments around the world. The most visible stones being thrown, and the thrusting of the swords, are the violent hostilities coming through constant wars. Since Israel was established as a state in 1948, she has been in 18 wars, even a war in 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. 

The house of Israel is set ablaze with no ability to rely on worldly help. “They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will make you cease playing the harlot, and you shall no longer hire lovers.” Ezekiel 16:41 

There will be an assembly that will stone Israel with stones and thrust her through with swords, and that is the assembly of nations to the Battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:12-20). While that is a global battle, the territory of Israel will be involved. This will happen in the sight of many women, even as we see Israel being stoned in the sight of many women today. To be done in the “sight of many women” refers to how horrible the destruction is and how helpless they are to do anything about it.

Today, we see how Israel is not able to play the harlot and hire lovers referring to not being able to solicit military and economic aid from other nations. This means not being able to rely on America today nor in the Battle of Armageddon to come. America has been a partner of Israel since 1948 when the State of Israel was established. That partnership has done zilch to bring peace, stability, and security to Israel. The violence and fighting just keeps becoming worse and there is no one Israel is able to hire to help her.

Jesus Christ is the only one we can turn to for peace, and He says, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-29

The wrath of God’s anger will be exhausted on the State of Israel. “So I will lay to rest My fury toward you, and My jealousy shall depart from you. I will be quiet, and be angry no more.” Ezekiel 16:42

When the Jewish people were gathered to the State of Israel in 1948, that was the beginning of God’s fury being unleashed upon 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 Even today, the Israelis have 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. 

The fury of God’s wrath subsides from Israel when she is totally destroyed. That happens at the destruction of this present world system which includes the entire Middle East region and every city of every nation around the world. We know that because the Battle of Armageddon of the Sixth Plague involves the territory of the State of Israel. That battle is very near to the Day of the Lord, and the return of Jesus Christ happens. That is when God’s jealousy will depart from Israel and when He will be quiet and be angry no more. Click here for a post on the day after the Battle of Armageddon.

The whole world, and Israel included, are exposed to global warming. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9. Global warming is instrumental in bringing the end to the world government of the beast and its global culture. Global warming corresponds to the destruction of the power center of the beast in the Fifth Plague of Revelation 16:10-11. With the collapse of the power center of the beast, the world government is rendered powerless. In that powerlessness, arises the Battle of Armageddon. That brings the end of the Middle East and is followed by destruction of this world as we know it today. Jesus Christ is coming back.

Because Israel has turned away from her heritage, God’s retribution comes. “Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but agitated Me with all these things, surely I will also recompense your deeds on your own head,” says the Lord God. “And you shall not commit lewdness in addition to all your abominations.” Ezekiel 16:43

The Israelites did not remember how God brought them apart from this world in the very beginning, long before they were even known as Israelites, Click here for a post on Israel’s humble heritage. Instead, when God sent Jesus Christ to them, they were so filled with pride because of their Jewish culture and heritage that they plotted to crucify Him. Today, they act abominably towards God in their many wars since the State of Israel was established in 1948. The Israelis have adopted the ways of the global culture as they have the most liberal abortion rights in the world, promote the rights of the LGBQT community, etc. God will recompence their deeds on their own head, meaning the fury of His judgment is against them.

Today, the churches are in that same situation as Israel in that they have forgotten the days of their youth. They have turned away from belief in God, tossed aside the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and are oppressive to the presence of the Holy Spirit. To say the word “God” is not enough because God is a Trinity. Wherever God is there is Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. It’s not possible to worship God while abandoning the name of Jesus Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit. If they claim to be worshipping God without Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit then they are living for a false God, Click here for a post in the “Great Falling Away.”

Jesus Christ speaks these words to the fallen churches, “You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.” Revelations 2:3-5 Click for a post on the Church of Ephesus. After the falling away of the churches began God’s wrath on this world, Click for a post on God’s fury after the falling away of the Church.

There is a major force responsible for the falling away from the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the entity that gives people what to say, do, think, and feel. This entity replaces the human spirit and conscience to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through people. The spirit and conscience of today’s culture is hardened against Jesus Christ as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8 The “him” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast
