Israel was to be of a new spirit, living by the word of God, but the rebellious were to face the fury of His judgment

Ezekiel 11:19-20

“Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh…” Ezekiel 11:19

There was no greater joy for the Jewish people than to have their own land and king to return to after the horrors of WW2 and being scattered since about 70AD to 1948. The gathering to the State of Israel was a revival for them as God put a new spirit within them. They were all of one heart, one people, Jewish people. They shared the same genetics, the same family tree, and of the same nationality. They were removed from the hardness of the world and put among their own people where God gave them a heart of flesh.

However, God makes us of one heart and of a new spirit through Jesus Christ, not by sharing the same blood line or genetics, or being one nationality, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13 The Holy Spirit removes the stony heart from us and gives us a human heart of flesh as we are infilled with the Holy Spirit and given a new spirit.

“…that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.” Ezekiel 11:20

The Jewish people were gathered to the State of Israel where they would continue to walk according to their Jewish customs. Even then, God requires them to accept Jesus Christ as the Word made flesh in order to continue their standing as the children of God, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12 Even today, the Jewish people will continue to be God’s people in the same way a rebellious, unruly, and runaway child is to a parent.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we walk in the statutes of God and keep His judgments according to His will. “And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:40 We who come to God through Jesus Christ are His people and He is our God.

“But as for those whose hearts follow the desire for their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their deeds on their own heads,” says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 11:21

As we see the Jewish people of today, they continue to have a heart that rejects Jesus Christ as their Messiah. In fact, they have discarded the entire Gospel of Christ from their Bible. They live by the Old Testament and have tossed aside the entire New Testament. They follow the desire for their detestable and abominable Jewish practices that separate them from Jesus Christ. To be separated from Christ is to be separated from God and to be separated from God is to be living in sin. They oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit who leads them and us to Jesus Christ. God will recompense their spiritual wickedness on their own heads.

Also, we see the Israelis welcoming the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people and it detests Israel, Christianity, God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. By what they say and do, the Israelis riot and protest for their government (the State of Israel) to conform to the will of the United Nations/world government of the beast. They share the abominable and detestable desires of the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. God is bringing the fury of His judgment on their own heads.

As the Holy Spirit speaks through Paul, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

“….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.”
