Israel is a harlot that pays others to come to her from all around.

“Men make payment to all harlots, but you made your payments to all your lovers, and bribed them to come to you from all around for your harlotry.” Ezekiel 16:33

Today, we can see how Israel has become the harlot of the United States, as she is known as an outpost of American democracy. Israel is lifted up as the only democracy in the Middle East region, surrounded by those who hate her and hate America. She has left the will of God for her to receive Jesus Christ and instead depends on the United States for her existence. Israel is not receiving any payments from America that would increase her riches in God by persuading her to live for Jesus Christ and to embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit. Instead, she is making payments and bribing America to come to her by being a loyal partner. The loyalty of her harlotry has brought Israel very far from the will of God that has resulted in 18 wars since the existence of the State of Israel in 1948, and even a war in that year, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.

The conflict in Israel is the fury of God’s judgment coming against her dross harlotry, “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.” Ezekiel 22:19-20

We live in a culture today where people live for the entity giving them what to think, say, do, and feel. This entity doesn’t even have to make any payments into the spirit and soul of the people to get them to form a bond. In fact, this entity hardens the spirit and soul against payments being made to Jesus Christ. People make payments from their soul as they express their atheism in denying God, scoff at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and ritualistically oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. Today’s culture bribes this entity to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through them because they lust for the empowerment of uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and talents, amazing physical abilities, sensual pleasures and comforts, etc. The masses of people of today’s culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
