Fame and pride of the Jewish people exalted over humility in serving Jesus Christ

“Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 16: 14

The fame of the Jewish people was known throughout the world. For example, the fame of Solomon was heard throughout the world and the Queen of Sheeba came from very far just to hear his wisdom. Countries from all around came together to help King David gather supplies for the building of the temple, which Solomon would build. Solomon solicited the help of the king of Tyre who sent thousands of workmen to help build the temple. The beauty of the spirit of the Jewish people and the outward beauty of their efforts were known throughout the world. That pride of that fame remained in the heart of the Jewish people even as Jesus walked on this earth.

“But you trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it.” Ezekiel 16:15

Harlotry is to give self away to something other than to God, and living in the will of God is to acknowledge the need for Jesus Christ and to embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Jewish people are so filled with the pride of their global fame that they commit harlotry with any nation in this world that will have them.

The pride of the Pharisees, and Jewish people in general, was exalted over the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ as their Messiah, Lord, and Savior. This describes the Jewish people of today who exalt the Jewish nation of the State of Israel over the humility of receiving Jesus Christ. The Jewish people are known all over the world, and this is the fame that the Israelis, the government of Israel, trusts in. They have committed harlotry with any other nation who will have them, such as building a military alliance with the United Sates and being empowered with a seat on the United Nations.

Instead of trusting in their worldly fame, God wants the Jewish people to rely on Him. Instead of relying on military empowerment and the members of the United Nations, God wants them to rely on His Spirit, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.” Zachariah 4:6 Instead of relying on harlotry with other nations for their salvation, God wants the Jewish people to rely on Him through Jesus Christ for their Salvation. In fact, the books of Ezekiel 17, 19, and 26 through 32, warn against the partnership formed between the United States and Israel as the fury of God’s judgment comes against both as a result.

Today, the self-esteem, dignity, and pride of humanity are lifted up in the process of serving the entity giving them what to feel, say, do, and think. They trust the feelings of the pride of their global fame in being connected as a family culture worldwide. They trust and serve this entity while denying God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. This entity gives them worldly empowerment by enabling the image of the beast to speak and live through them. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the best by what they say and do.
