She lusted for the image of looking like captains.

“Girded with belts around their waists, flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like captains, in the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity.” Ezekiel 23:15

The Babylonians were a dominant power in the world, and it was in the manner of their culture to be tightly or neatly dressed, attractive, and looking like captains. Babylon was the land of the captivity of the Israelites.

This verse adds more description to the image of the culture that Israel lusts for. The phrase, “Girded with belts around their waists” refers to the obvious, being tightly groomed and their clothing was not hanging loose around them. This also symbolizes the belts keeping the human spirit and conscience tightly in check to prevent fellowship with Jesus Christ. This happens as the conscience and spirit are replaced by the entity giving people what to feel, say, think, and do. This tightness also corresponds to the “sustainability goals” of the United Nations, which requires “tightening of the belt” in commodities produced, how much the population consumes, number of births, and every aspect of human living.

The wearing of the belts especially applies to being strict against the freedom to serve God the Creator, to tighten the belt against the need of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and to oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. The “belts around their waists” are tightened by the image of the beast living and speaking through people by the entity giving them what to think and feel. The global culture wears those belts around their waist as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

The phrase, “…flowing turbans on their heads…”, refers to attractive head dress that made their appearance look dashing, majestic, and royal. Today, the masses of the global culture are empowered with an amazing head dress. That empowerment comes through the entity that has power over physiology to give people uncanny knowledge and heightened intuition. Every day, people in the community flow with amazing knowledge and foreknowledge that makes them seem so much more majestic and royal above others. Unfortunately, they do not retain God in their knowledge and have no foreknowledge of the disaster to come to this present world system.

The phrase, “…all of them looking like captains…” refers to looking like people in authority. The people of the global culture look like captains. They are empowered with uncanny authority over others by the entity with power over physiology. Anyone who criticizes them, ignores their directives, or otherwise ignores their standing as a citizen in the culture suffers the consequences. This happens within the family, at the workplace, in social settings, and everywhere else. People who do not accept the authority of the “captains” are labeled as being a problem, troublemaker, or otherwise made an outcast in society.

As can be envisioned, the captains and governors of today’s culture are those who promote the “tightening of the belt” through the “sustainability goals” of the United Nations.
