The glory of the world government and its global culture are destroyed and have no peace.

Ezekiel 7:24b-25

“I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease, and their holy places shall be defiled. Destruction comes; They will seek peace, but there shall be none.” Ezekiel 7:24b-25

Today, the Jewish people can be considered pompous because they exalt their own culture over the will of God for them to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Their holy places are defiled.

As we see, Holy Jerusalem is divided into West and East, and the temple of Solomon is no longer under Israeli control. Likewise, many other of their holy places are in Jordan, and not part of Israel at all. The list goes on and on of the defilement of Israel’s holy places. Their synagogues are defiled because they reject the entire Gospel of Christ. Most importantly, the body (the temple of the Holy Spirit) has been defiled because they oppress His presence. Destruction comes and there is no peace for Israel.

Also, the pompous boasting of the world government and their global culture will stop, who in their attitude boast, “Who is like the beast? Who can make war with him?” Revelation 13:4 Their ceremonial image and grandiosity will cease, and their most revered place will be defiled. They claim the human body as their holy place, but the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say comes to an end in the Fifth Plague. This is when the power center of the beast is destroyed which renders the world government of the beast and its global culture powerless. In that powerlessness, arises the Battle of Armageddon in the Sixth Plague. The Day of the Lord enters, and we rejoice when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.

‘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.”
