“Moreover take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, and say, Ezekiel, ‘What is your mother? A lioness: She lay down among the lions; among the young lions she nourished her cubs.” Ezekiel 19:2-3. 

God had given Ezekiel a message of grief and sorrow for the princes of Israel. The princes are those who govern over the Israelites. The grieving message is that the governors have been raised by a mother who is a lioness that lays down with the lions. In other words, the governors are raised in an atmosphere of violence. Lions catch their prey and devour people. The mother of the Israelites had raised her cubs (the leaders of Israel) to be a devouring lion.

Today, there is grief and sorrow for the governors of the State of Israel. All through the years, from the time of the birth of the Jewish State in 1948, the rulers have been raised as lions. In a sense, one can say that the State of Israel is the mother of lions. Israel lays down with the lions in the sense that she is surrounded by those who seek to devour her like prey. The Israelis have been involved in 18 claw-to-claw 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. Within the den of lions of the Middle East, Israel has nourished her cubs. In other words, the governors of Israel have become devouring lions among the lions they are laying with.

The first cub is captured and brought in chains to the United States.
“Israel’s first cub grew to catch prey and devour men. “She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a young lion; He learned to catch prey, and he devoured men.” Ezekiel 19:3

The first lion cub of the State of Israel was born in 1948, with the declaration of Israel as a state. This cub was the initial stage of Israel’s military prowess. In the region of the Middle East, the Israeli governors learned to catch prey and devour men, as is evident in the claw-to-claw fighting in the region (click and scroll to bottom of page). During this first stage of fighting, the governors of the State of Israel were relying on the USA for military support. That support came from intelligence, training, money, equipment, etc. In fact, the leaders of Israel were answering to the United States for their part in the region’s conflict.

 “The nations also heard of him; He was trapped in their pit, and they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt.” Ezekiel 19:4

The news of the first lion reaches the nations and is put in chains and brought to the USA.

After the State of Israel was established in 1948, the nations of the world quickly heard of the military engagements of Israel (click and scroll to bottom of page). The Israelis were showing their willingness to fight, to win, and to achieve in many areas within a den of lions. The members of the United Nations began to seek an effective way to subdue the aggression of the Israelis. They sought the cooperation of the United States to silence the roar coming from the State of Israel.

The phrase, “…they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt…” refers to restraining the aggression of the Israelis by holding them responsible to the United States. This is like holding someone in handcuffs to be escorted to a court hearing for judgment. The United States has always held powerful influence over the actions of the State of Israel. Not so much nowadays. In fact, the second lion cub (in the next post) is brought to the United Nations to be judged in the international court.

The United States is portrayed as Egypt in the following post, Israel rebels against the will of the United Nations by arming itself through the United States.

The phrase, “He was trapped in their pit…” refers to the governors of Israel being caught in the trap of the international community. The roar of Israel is not meant to be heard in opposition to the will of the global government. The will of the UN is to quiet, subdue, and devour the independence of the State of Israel. The United Nations intend to establish themselves as the one world government, and the roar of the independence of Israel stands in their way.

“….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, 3:11
