The Israelites had enemies all around them who rejoiced in their calamities and gloated when they were taken into captivity by the king of Babylon. Those enemies were of Ammon, Rabbah, Moab, Seir, Edom, and the Philistines. God promised to bring His fury against them for gloating in the judgment brought against Israel. Today, the State of Israel is surrounded by enemies such as the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Iran, and others. They rejoice in Israel’s calamities and want nothing more than her destruction. God will bring judgment against those who gloat in the judgment brought against Israel. God’s judgment comes through the “Sons of the East”.

Jesus Christ gives these words to us to live by, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” Matthew 7:1-3 The Holy Spirit always mirrors the words of Jesus Christ, “Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.” Titus 3:1-2

God uses this sin plagued world government of the beast and its global culture to bring His fury against Israel. Specifically, the judgment of God comes to the Middle East through the “Sons of the East”. This world system is not a friend of God. Likewise, Israel has turned from the will of God by rejecting Jesus Christ. They both suffer the fury of the judgment of God. The enemy of Israel is the same enemy of God. “Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” James 4:4

“….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.”
