At the door of the Lord’s house are corrupt leaders over the people. 

Ezekiel 11:1

“Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the East Gate of the Lord’s house, which faces eastward; and there at the door of the gate were twenty-five men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.” Ezekiel 11:1

The front door of the temple of God faces the East Gate, and that is where the twenty-five men were. They are the followers of Jaazaniah, who corrupted the leadership of the Israelites. They were corrupted by the incitement of sensual and sexual carnal desires to lead them away from God. Pelatiah was in league with Jaazaniah.

The East Gate of the Lord’s house represents the gate of our spirit and soul, leading into the presence of God. As we enter into the presence of God, our body becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit. By giving our life to Jesus Christ on the altar of our soul, we enter into the presence of God by the Holy Spirit. We are living in times when the gate of the spirit and soul is being corrupted.

Our soul and spirit are being corrupted by the enflaming of carnal desires. By arousing carnal desires, a war is declared on the Spirit, which leads to the hardening of the human spirit to Jesus Christ. “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” Galatians 5:16-18

With the corruption of the spirit, a person becomes receptive to the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. By what they say and do they oppose God, discard the need for Jesus Christ, and oppress the Holy Spirit. The Israelis are corrupted by this entity. People everywhere conform to the anti-Christian global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
