“I made the nations shake at the sound of its fall, when I cast it down to hell together with those who descend into the Pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the depths of the earth.” Ezekiel 31:16
As we see in the next verse, “all the trees of Eden” also went down to hell with Egypt.
When Egypt fell into the Pit of hell, all the nations receiving military aid and economic support from her were shaken. Shaken by being left vulnerable to the wrath of king Nebuchadnezzar. In the previous verse, Lebanon was darkened, and all the trees wilted, “I caused Lebanon to be darkened, and all the trees of the field wilted because of it…” In this verse, all the choice and best trees of Lebanon were comforted at Egypt’s fall. They were comforted in the sense that misery loves company, which implies that people who are unhappy and in pain feels avenged in knowing they’re not alone in their suffering because others are miserable, too.
When America falls completely into the Pit of hell on this earth, the nations once receiving military and economic support from her will be shaken. Taiwan will be shaken to be at the mercy of China, South Korea will be shaken to be at mercy of North Korea, Israel will be shaken to be at the mercy of the Middle East region, NATO will be shaken to be at the mercy of the eastern side of the world, etc. The world government of the beast will have them all under its thumb in the process of the United Nations being established as the one world government. All of the fallen nations will be living the cliche, misery loves company, as they see the fall of America as well. Envision how they might feel if they were fallen, and America stood strong as a world power economically and militarily.
The only cliche that exists in the Pit of hell will be, misery loves company (as if there will be any cliches at all). This refers to the Pit of hell that exists beyond the grave, reserved for those who mock God, scoff at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ and blasphemes the presence of the Holy Spirit. This is the place where all those who choose to serve the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say will be. That’s because this entity exalts itself above God by enabling the image of the beast to live and speak through people. Masses of people across the globe form the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. They “...will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever.” Revelation 14:10-11
We can assess that after we die, we who believe in Jesus Christ will be resurrected to eternal life to live forever in the New Jerusalem with Him and His Father. The diagnosis is that unbelievers will be cast down to the eternal Pit of hell, where misery loves company. We plan to believe in the love of God, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 The implementation of this plan is “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 We know the plan is successful when the Holy Spirit lives in us, our guarantee of eternal life, “...having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance…” Ephesians 1:13-14
“….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
