“In their sight you shall bear them on your shoulders and carry them out at twilight; you shall cover your face, so that you cannot see the ground, for I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.” Ezekiel 12:6

God has Ezekiel to do this object lesson as a sign to the Israelites. Today, the belongings of the Jewish people were loaded on their shoulders at twilight, in the early evening hours. This early darkness is when the Jewish people carried their belongings into the State of Israel around 1948. The sun has been setting on them ever since, and they were involved in a war in 1948, and a total of 18 wars since then. Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.  The darkness of night looms over Israel.

The phrase, “…cover your face so that you cannot see the ground.” refers to the Jewish people not being able to see the ground that they would be walking on. They did not foresee the territory of the State of Israel being plagued with so much hostility within and around their borders, and even coming from around the world through protests and riots against them.

Today, the world government and its global culture are carrying a huge weight on their shoulders and have no idea of the ground they are walking into, and that the darkness of night is on them. For their salvation, they depend on the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do and say and have shut the door to Jesus Christ. However, global warming, which is a huge concern for them, is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16. Global warming plays a role in bringing the collapse of the power center of the beast in the Fifth Plague. This renders the world government of the beast and its global culture powerless. In that powerlessness arises the Battle of Armageddon of the Sixth Plague. Click here for a post on the Seven Plagues.

“So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my belongings by day, as though going into captivity, and at evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought them out at twilight, and I bore them on my shoulder in their sight.” Ezekiel 12:7

“….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.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
