Israel faces judgment for abandoning God and serving the false god of this world.

“I will do these things to you because you have gone as a harlot after the Gentiles, because you have become defiled by their idols.” Ezekiel 23:30

Today, Gentiles are those who live for the ways of this world. They do not believe God when He said He sent Jesus Christ into this world so that whoever believes in Him will have their sin forgiven and inherit eternal life, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” John 6:29 The Jewish people around the world, and those who consist of the Israelis within the State of Israel, have given themselves to the ways of all the others who have rejected Jesus Christ, as quoted, “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.” Acts 4:27-28

As ironic as it may sound, God brings all the world against Israel because she tried to conduct herself as any other nation in this world. She wanted a government and nation of her own, wanted powerful alliances with other nations, wanted to be a member of the United Nations, wanted military power, adopted the standards of the global culture [such as abortion rights, promotion of the LGBQT community, etc.]. God says, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.” Zachariah 4:6

“Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, and said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.” But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the Lord. And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day—with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also.” 1 Samuel 8:4-8

The Israeli citizens have become corrupted by this world’s false god, which gives them what to say, do, think, and feel. This atheistic entity coordinates them with the global culture around the world by enabling the image of the beast to speak and live through them. This is seen as the Israelis are synchronized with the global culture in protesting and rioting against the government of Israel. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

What is happening to the State of Israel is a sign to the Jewish people everywhere that God requires them to receive Jesus Christ as their Messiah. Likewise, what is happening to Israel is also a warning to all the people of the world. What happens to Israel also happens on a global scale in cities around the world. That is known as the global tribulation. God requires every single person to come to God through Jesus Christ and to receive the Holy Spirit.

“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

“….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
