A prophecy is spoken against the forest land of the south.

“Furthermore, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face toward the south; preach against the south and prophesy against the forest land, the South, and say to the forest of the South, ‘Hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree and every dry tree in you; the blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be scorched by it.” Ezekiel 20:45-47

We know that God does not send prophecies against trees of the forests to prod them into repentance because Jesus Christ did not come to save trees but to save the spirit and soul of human beings. Therefore, the Lord is directing Ezekiel to bring a prophecy against a forest of people, the whole forest. When God sends a prophecy against an entire “forest”, it’s because they live as atheists with no belief in God, they scoff at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and they suppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. That “forest” describes the global culture of today. There will be a fire kindled in the global culture, every tree will be set on fire, and that fire will not be quenched. Israel will be set afire in that blaze. The fire that devours them and will never be quenched is the fire of eternal hell.

We live in a world where everyone in every city lives for the entity giving them what to think, feel, say, and do. “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8 The “him” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through the global culture and by what they say and do they deny God, detest Jesus Christ, and grieve the Holy Spirit. The forest of the global culture is groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Those who make their body the home of the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say will be destroyed for destroying the body as the home of the Holy Spirit, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 The world will be filled with the fires of lawlessness as the Holy Spirit is defunded, because He is the one who restrains lawlessness, “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed…” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8

There will also be literal fires on this earth globally, as mentioned in the events of the Seven Trumpets in Revelation 8, 9, and 11. We also know that the heat of global warming is already the cause of many forest fires around the world, and global warming is the Fourth Plague in Revelation 16:8-9. “Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.” The more powerful the United Nations become as the one world government the more intense the heat of global warming becomes.
