“Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Now, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Yes, show her all her abominations! Then say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: The city sheds blood in her own midst, that her time may come; and she makes idols within herself to defile herself. You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made.” Ezekiel 22:1-3

God motivates Ezekiel to judge Israel, which was called the bloody city, and that had idols within. Today, the combination of actions by the government of the State of Israel and the Israeli citizens describes what is said in this verse. The government of the State of Israel has turned Israel into a bloody city and the Israeli citizens are motivated by the false god of this world. By the bloodshed, the time of Israel has come, meaning her demise has come.

God’s way is one of peace, humility, meekness, and gentleness, not one of bombs, guns, and bloodshed, as God says, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’” Zachariah 4:6 In that light, Israel is far from the will of God as they have been in 18 wars since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, even a war in 1948,  Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. 

While the government of the State of Israel is involved in continuous bloodshed externally, the Israeli citizens are serving the false god within themselves. They serve the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say which motivates them to riot and protest against their own government. They demand that the Israeli government conform to the will of the United Nations. The goal of the United Nations is to unify the Middle East in order to be established as the one world government. The independence of Israel is an obstacle to that goal. The Israeli citizens have joined with the global culture in protests against the independence of Israel.

Internal to the human body exist the entity giving people what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity replaces the human spirit and conscience as a wall is built against Jesus Christ. Atheism is fostered as belief in God is opposed and the presence of the Holy Spirit is suppressed. The Holy Spirit internally restrains lawlessness and bloodshed from appearing externally, “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, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 Click here for a post on the “lawless one”.

God intends for us to fight the spiritual battle through Jesus Christ, not an earthly battle, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:15

“….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, 3:1
