God’s fury, jealousy, and fiery wrath comes against the world government and its global culture.

“And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord God, “that My fury will show in My face. For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’” Ezekiel 38:18-20

An all-out assault on the land of Israel by the world government of the beast and its global culture will unleash the wrath of God on this present world system. This brings the end of all things, which means Israel’s destruction comes just before the destruction of this world. This is a time when God has poured out and exhausted His fury on Israel and on the whole world. The world government of the beast and its global culture brought God’s judgment to Israel, but at the same time was never a friend to God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit. This gives meaning to these words of Jesus Christ, “Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!” Luke 17:1

The fury of God will be severe against this present world system, as quoted, “that My fury will show in My face. For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken:” In that day, there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. Every living thing will shake at the presence of God, every bird, every animal, every creeping thing, and every single person. The earthquake will destroy the trees and every nest, the resting place of animals, the hiding places of creeping things, and every home of a person. The mountains will be thrown down, the steep cliffs fallen, and every wall collapsed to the ground.

This describes the events of the Seventh Plague in Revelation 16:17-21, which happens in the Day of the Lord, just before the return of Jesus Christ, as quoted. This is also describing the destruction of this present world, far beyond the territory of Israel.

“Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great. Revelation 16:17-21

“….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.”
