“In you are men who slander to cause bloodshed…” Ezekiel 22:9a

This following verse is a perfect example of slander being used to cause bloodshed, “Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death…” Matthew 26:59 The Israelites of the days of Ezekiel were filled with men who were doing that against other Jewish people and strangers. They were that far from God and that spiritually corrupt.

Today, we can very easily imagine all of the slander taking place in Israel that brings about bloodshed. One Jewish person might slander another relating to having hostile anti-Israel intent, resulting in bloodshed. Neighbors would be saying false things about their neighbors regarding where their loyalties rest: With the enemies of Israel or with the State of Israel? The West Bank, as well as west and east Jerusalem, are filled with so much division and conflict that much bloodshed is a result a slander. This is something like Jesus warned about when He said, “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.” Matthew 10:21

The entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say is filled with slander against those who oppose its presence. With that slander, we can see the silent killer of the “psychotic lamb” moving across the country and around the world. The silent killer eradicates belief in the Living God, eliminates the Gospel of Jesus Christ, oppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit, and works to put Christianity into extinction. The entity that gives people what to think and feel enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people while slandering and eradicating all the rest. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast as they slander and put down those living for God through Jesus Christ.

 “Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 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 13:6-8 The “him” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast.

“….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
