 “I will set My jealousy against you, and they shall deal furiously with you; They shall remove your nose and your ears, and your remnant shall fall by the sword; They shall take your sons and your daughters, and your remnant shall be devoured by fire.” Ezekiel 23:25

The jealousy of God is aroused when people abandon Him to live their life for someone or something else. In the case of the Jewish people, they abandoned His word by rejecting Jesus Christ and oppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit. They live for their Jewish culture and cling to the Old Testament while ignoring the “scarlet cord” in the Old Testament that points to Jesus Christ as the Savior. The Jewish culture has tossed aside the entire New Testament, which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That gives rise to the jealousy of God who in this day, and in the days to come, deals furiously with them.

In the days of the Israelites, when the nose and ears were cut off, that would make them so unattractive and devalued that they would not be able to be traded or sold as slaves. Their appearance would be so disfigured that no one would desire them.

The phrase, “They shall remove your nose and your ears,” refers to making the Jewish people of today appear very unattractive in the eyes of everyone else. The Israelis, the Jewish people of the State of Israel, look very unattractive to the rest of the world nowadays. Mostly because of their aggressive military and police action coupled with their rejection of the “Two State Solution” proposed by the members of the United Nations. Also, a court case has been opened against the government of Israel for genocide. With that, arrest warrants are sought by the UN for Israeli officials accused of war crimes. Then there are the masses of the global culture in cities everywhere that protest and riot against the existence of the State of Israel. Even America sides against Israel’s efforts to occupy the West Bank and seize the territory as their own.

While there has been non-stop violence and war in the Middle East since 1948, centered around Israel, it will get worse. While Israel is falling by the “sword” that cuts them off from international acceptance, they will fall by the sword of violence and war in the days ahead. That is spoken about in Ezekiel 39 referring to the Day After the Battle of Armageddon. Only a remnant of Jewish people survives.

The remnant of the Israelites, their sons and daughters, are the Jewish people of today and that remnant will be devoured by fire. The entire Jewish culture has rejected Jesus Christ, and only through Him is there Salvation, “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:11-13 The unbelieving Jewish culture will be devoured by the fire of eternal hell. As Jesus Christ said to the Jewish people, “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” John 8:44

The world system of today provokes the jealousy of God by governing through the entity that sets itself up as God within His temple, our body. This entity lives within people by giving them what to think feel, say, and do and is the one “...who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “man of sin”.

God is going to deal furiously with this present world government and its sons and daughters, who are the masses of people of the global culture. They will be made to look very ugly in the eyes of those who live in the day when the global government is made powerless in the Fifth Plague of Revelation 16:10-11, which is when the power center of the beast is destroyed. At that time, no one will be held captive to the entity that has power over physiology and many, many will rebel against the global government. That is when armies around the world are gathered to the Battle of Armageddon in Revelation 16:12-17 of the Sixth Plague. The beast that fell from power is described as being very unattractive, with frogs coming from the mouth, instead of being silver-tongue devils. They are demons, as quoted in the verses below,

“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty…And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.” Revelation 16:13-14, 16

This world government and the remnant of its global culture [whoever decides not to leave the government of the beast in its powerlessness], will fall by the sword in the Battle of Armageddon, as described in the post on the Day After the Battle of Armageddon. They will be devoured in the fire of eternal hell.

“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

“….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.”
