Israel’s transgressions are uncovered, and God brings His wrath against them.

 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear—because you have come to remembrance, you shall be taken in hand.” Ezekiel 21:24

For iniquity to be remembered is like having a courtroom trial that brings up the crime committed. The time had come for the sin of Israel to be remembered in the courtroom of God. In a courtroom trial, everything is uncovered relating to the crime committed. The sin of Israel would be uncovered in the courtroom of God. In a courtroom, there is a final verdict that can lead to condemnation and sentencing. Israel would be condemned and taken in hand to the eternal prison of hell.

2000 years ago, the sin of the Jewish people was to turn from the will of God by rejecting Jesus Christ as their Messiah. Within the State of Israel, people around the world are seeing the courtroom trial against Israel as God remembers her sin. In everything Israel is doing, her sins are uncovered and appear in the eyes of the world. They have the most liberal abortion rights laws in the world, they embrace the LGBQT+ lifestyles, and their use of military and police violence is condemned globally. God has pronounced the Jewish people guilty of sinning against Him, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. They will be taken in hand to the place of outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.

When the Jewish people rejected Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, it’s because they exalted their own Jewish culture above Him. Because of their rebellion, God gave them their own Jewish State of Israel where He sets up court and pronounces His judgment against them. God brought them to the land of Israel for His name’s sake, not for the sake of the rebellious Jewish people, “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.” Ezekiel 22:19 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went.” Ezekiel 36:22

The Jewish people are meant to be Christian. If they were Christian, the Jewish State of Israel would not exist because as Christians we do not have a nation to call our own on this earth. Our nation is the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth, which comes by living for God through Jesus Christ.

In Isaiah 8:11-15, God warned the Jewish people not to think that belief in Jesus Christ was a conspiracy against their Jewish culture. He came to save not to destroy. They were cautioned not to be afraid of the threats of the Pharisees, who made belief in Jesus a literal crime. They feared. The Jewish people were warned that Jesus Christ would be an offense to them, and they would stumble. They were offended and stumbled. They were told that Israel would be broken because of their rejection of Him. They are being broken.
