The sword is within the private chambers and slays great men.

“You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together. The third time let the sword do double damage. It is the sword that slays, the sword that slays the great men, that enters their private chambers.” Ezekiel 21:14

The double damage that the sword does is within a person and also external to the person. This sword slays the internal life of the soul to cause death to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. This is the sword that enters the private chambers of thoughts and feelings to externally influence words and behaviors.

When Jesus Christ walked on this earth 2000 years ago, the great men and leaders of the Jewish people rejected the will of God for them to receive Jesus as their Messiah. There was something within the private chambers of their thoughts and feelings that prevented them from humbling themselves to accept Jesus as the Christ and Son of God and their Salvation. The sword of their private chambers cut them off internally from fellowship with the Spirit of God. The same sword did its damage to the Jewish people externally as seen in the world today.

If the Jewish people would have received Jesus Christ, they would be living as the temple of the Holy Spirit and the damage to the soul would not exist. Also, the damage to them externally as a Jewish culture would never have existed. The sword would be unable to do its double damage. The Jewish people are meant to be Christian, and if they were, the Jewish culture would not exist in the world today. The Jewish State of Israel would not exist and none of the 17 wars would have ever happened Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. 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.

Today, there is an entity in this world with power over physiology and gives people what to think, feel, do, and say. This is the sword that does damage to and slays the soul by replacing the human spirit and conscience to build a wall against Jesus Christ. This same sword does damage upon this earth as it is responsible for the chaos and tribulation of today and for the severity of the tribulation to come. This sword has entered into the private chambers of thoughts and feelings to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. There is not a great person within local, state, national, or global leadership that is not under its influence. The masses of the anti-Christian global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
