“You built your high places at the head of every road, and made your beauty to be abhorred. You offered yourself to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your acts of harlotry.” Ezekiel 16:25

The opinion of the masses of people of the global culture, in cities around the world, is that Israel is the ugliest presence in the world today. They riot and protests against the existence of the abhorrent State of Israel. This is part of the fury of God’s judgment against Israel, He has made their beauty to be abhorred. The members of the United Nations are declaring how ugly the State of Israel is, as they have opened a case of genocide against the Israeli government, World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel.  The members of the UN have also issued arrest warrants against Israeli government officials for allegedly committing war crimes. With all of that, Israel has become ugly to America as the USA has brought sanctions against Israeli residences in the West Bank, US Imposes Sanctions On Israeli Settler Outposts. Also, “White House reverses West Bank policy, calling Israeli settlements illegal“.

God has made the beauty of Israel to be abhorred because of their acts of harlotry. They offer themselves to every type of worldly influence, power, prestige etc., especially in their alliance with America. Instead of giving themselves to influences of power and might, they should be maintaining their faithfulness to God, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.'” Zachariah 4:6 Harlotry is to turn away from the will of God to make something else more important. The will of God is for us to believe Jesus Christ and to embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The once beautiful churches are now abhorred by God because they are no longer a light shining with the Gospel of Christ. The churches offer themselves to any community cause that comes their way to intertwine with the community-family culture. That culture denies God, discards the need for Jesus Christ, and oppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit. The churches have multiplied their harlotry by becoming involved in many good works within the community instead of working for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This describes the Church of Ephesus.

“….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.”
