She sent word of how much she lusted for the image on the wall.

“As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.” Ezekiel 23:16

The Israelites lusted after the physical appearance, strength, authority, and superiority of the Babylonian soldiers in Chaldea. So much so that she sent messengers to offer herself to them instead of offering themselves to God by living for the Ten Commandments. Instead of loving God with all their heart, soul, and mind, they filled their heart, soul, and mind with lust for the culture of the Babylonians.

Today, the government of Israel, since established as a state in 1948, has sent messengers to the United States due to her lust for the image of the US in the eyes of the world. Israel wanted to align with political power, to be empowered militarily, and to have superiority in the Middle East region. Through the prestige and influence of the USA, Israel sought to stand confidently as a member of the United Nations. Instead of chasing after the USA, Israel should have been sending messengers to God to seek the presence of Jesus Christ within their spirit and soul.

Today’s culture has a lust for the entity that empowers them through their physiology and gives them their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. They are eager to send messages to that entity, from within themselves, to form a bond with the source that gives uncanny authority over others, extraordinary skills and talents, uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, and measured emotional responses, etc. They lust for the image of the beast to speak and live through them as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

The Holy Spirit speaks these words to us through the Apostle Paul, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

“….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
