“How degenerate is your heart!” says the Lord God, “seeing you do all these things, the deeds of a brazen harlot.” Ezekiel 16:30

God is calling the heart of Israel degenerate and their deeds like a brazen harlot because of their quest for military and economic empowerment [Ezekiel 16:23-43]. With boldness and without shame they turned to the Egyptians, Assyrians, and far away country of trade to fuel their rebellion against their captivity to the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. Their heart was degenerate as they turned away from the will of God for them to live peaceably under the authority of king Nebuchadnezzar. They were like a shameless and bold harlot who gave herself to anyone other than living by the commandments of God.

Today, the heart of the Jewish people is degenerate as they shamelessly reject the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior. They oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. Like a shameless harlot, they have formed a relationship with America to be empowered militarily and economically instead of bonding with God through Jesus Christ. They are using human efforts of the flesh with violence to fight against the will of the members of the United Nations that wants to unify the Middle East by subduing the independence of the State of Israel. The goal of the UN is to be established as the undisputed one world government, and the independence of Israel stands in their way.

We live in a world today with a culture that is degenerate within the spirit and soul as they play the harlot with the beast giving them what to think, feel, do, and say. That beast shamelessly and boldly hardens the human spirit and conscience against Jesus Christ to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through people. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

As people who live for God through Jesus Christ and made to be the temple of the Holy Spirit, we want no partnership with the culture of this world, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-16

“….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.”
