Jerusalem’s inhabitants are given up to the fire.

“Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem;” Ezekiel 15:6

The desire of the Jewish people to remain whole as a Jewish culture has led them into much heartache, suffering, and violence. The fury of God’s judgment is against them, and God has given them to the fires of this earth and to the fire of eternal hell. “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 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 1:11-13

Today, the capital of Israel is Jerusalem, and we see how it is given to the fire for fuel on this earth. Jerusalem is divided between East and West Jerusalem, with the east being in the West Bank and the west being in Israel. Conflict and violence already exist over the territory of Israel and the West Bank. The division of Jerusalem only adds to the fire over who really has control over what, which includes the Temple Mount. Israel claims the Temple as theirs (being built by king Solomon), but the Islamists/Muslims claim it as theirs. All of this relates to the fires of violence relating to the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, etc. This is exactly what God said He would do, to gather them to the State of Israel to unleash the fury of His judgment on them, Ezekiel 22:19-20.

Jerusalem also symbolizes the capital of the soul where God sits within us through the Holy Spirit. Today, instead of being the temple of the Holy Spirit, the temple has become the place of the entity that governs through the thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors of people. For that reason, the souls of the global culture who welcome that entity will be given as fuel for the fire and those fires also represent the fires of hell. “If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:17

The entity giving people their thoughts and feelings have turned the spirit and soul into dry wood by enabling the image of the beast to live and speak through people. We are created for the image of Christ to live and speak through us. People everywhere allow their soul and spirit to be dried and rotted as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. God has given them as fuel for the fire of hell.
