Dysfunction between family members is rampant in the tribulation.

“Therefore fathers shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments among you, and all of you who remain I will scatter to all the winds.” Ezekiel 5:10

During the era of the Old Testament, some people resorted to cannibalism in times of famine and even consumed their own children or parents. This practice was common among the nations that did not follow the culture of the Israelites. The Israelites were given the Ten Commandments and obeyed the laws given to them by God and refrained from eating human flesh. For the Israelites to resort to cannibalism is a statement of how far gone they were from God. The Lord God’s wrath was provoked, and He scattered them far from their homeland in every direction.

Today, the State of Israel is in disarray where next-door neighbors are as much in conflict as what there is between external neighbors. The social environment of the West Bank is proof positive of that. On top of internal divisions there is conflict between external neighbors, such as between Israel and Lebanon, or Israel and Iran, or Israel and Syria, or Israel and the Gaza Strip etc. That whole region of the Middle East is being socially cannibalized. Fathers who cling to their Biblical heritage are devouring their sons, and sons who embrace the new world culture are devouring their fathers. The State of Israel is already experiencing God’s judgments, and we can imagine how they are fleeing from their homeland to seek safer places.

Today, Israeli citizens are living by the entity giving them what to think, feel, say and do as it enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They socially cannibalize their next-door neighbors who criticize the global culture that they sign-on to. They also cannibalize the sovereignty of the State of Israel by protesting and rioting for compliance with the United Nations’ agenda for a global government. “For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” Luke 12:52-53

The masses of people around the world conform to the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. They are hostile to those who make their body the home of the Holy Spirit because they live for the entity that governs by giving people what to think, feel, do, and say. There is a literal battle for the soul of every person in every city around the world. This battle becomes external to homes, manifests into workplaces, and public places as social cannibalization gives rise to conflicts of every type. The body of Christ is being broke apart and scattered to prevent fellowship in Jesus Christ and to stop the spread of His Gospel.

Jesus Christ is detested and those who hold to His Gospel are embattled, “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 10:21-22 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.” Matthew 24:9-10

“….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.”
