Israel is a mirror image of their defiled ancestors.

“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Are you defiling yourselves in the manner of your fathers, and committing harlotry according to their abominations? For when you offer your gifts and make your sons pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols, even to this day. So shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live,” says the Lord God, “I will not be inquired of by you.” Ezekiel 20:30-31

God had Ezekiel to have the Israelites look into the mirror by looking at the harlotry and abominations of their forefathers. Today, God wants the Jewish people to look into the mirror of their forefathers to see a glimpse of their own abominations and harlotry. They are committing harlotry by giving themselves to their Jewish culture while abandoning the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ as their identity. Abominations are behaviors that God intensely dislikes, which the Jewish people are doing by not believing God, rejecting Jesus Christ, and suppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The forefathers of today’s Jewish people literally sent their children through the fire as a sacrifice to the false gods of the countries around them. Looking in that mirror, the Israelis are killing their unborn children with the most liberal abortion rights in the world. They are following the idol of this world, which is the entity giving them what to feel, think, say, and do as they join the values of the global culture. The masses of the global culture are in alignment with the agenda of the United Nations to promote abortion rights as part of their “sustainability goals” to sustain population growth.

The Lord does not allow Himself to be inquired of by those who mock Him by rejecting Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only way that God hears our inquiries because Jesus is our mediator and intercessor, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus…” 1 Timothy 2:5 “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27

As followers of Jesus Christ, we need to be more than just someone who hears the word of God, but we need to live by His word through the Holy Spirit living within us. If we do not walk in the Spirit, but choose the ways of the flesh instead, we are like those who look into the mirror but as soon as we walk away, we forget what type of person we were. Like the Jewish people of today who forget their own detestable behaviors that mirrors the detestable ways of their forefathers. We need to look at ourselves through the mirror of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to see the reflection of His mercy, grace, truth, and forgiveness. In Jesus Christ, we see His liberty, blessings, and eternal life. “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” John 8L36

 “For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” James 1:23-25

“….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.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
