“Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them:“
God has given Ezkiel more to say to the house of Israel.
“‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life.” Ezekiel 33:1-5
The prophets of the Bible have forewarned us of the judgment of God that comes to this world. These are the prophets such as Ezekiel, Daniel, Zachariah, Zephaniah, Isaiah, etc. This following verse is written about our Lord Jesus as a Prophet, “For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’” Acts 3:22-23
God brings His sword to this world to unleash His judgment on sin-plagued humanity who has turned their backs on His Son Jesus Christ who cleanses our spirit and soul. Even then, God has made the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, our watchman by preaching to us about the Kingdom of God and letting us know that the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life. Christ Jesus has blown the Salvation trumpet, and we have heard that whoever calls on His name will be saved. Whoever hears the Gospel of Christ and rejects Jesus will suffer the consequences of rejecting Him. However, whoever hears the testimony of Jesus and receives Him will inherit eternal life.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we have been made the watchperson in this world by testifying of His Good News through the Holy Spirit who lives in us. “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Revelation 19:10 If we want to see where the world is within Bible prophecy we only need to see where Jesus Christ is within the world. The bright and shining sword of God’s judgment in this world today is very hard to miss. We see His sword and we are to blow the trumpet to warn the people of this world. Whoever does not listen to the warning then the consequence of that rejection is on their own head. Whoever does heed the warning will find eternal Salvation.
The sword of God’s judgment is coming through global warming, which is for all the people and nations to see. In fact, all the world is talking about global warming. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9. The more powerful the United Nations become as the one world government the hotter and more intense the heat of global warming becomes. “Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.” Revelation 16:8-9
All the people and nations of this world can see the bright and shining sword of God’s judgment in another way as well. The United Nations was established in 1945, after WW2, and brought the government of the beast with it, as described in Danile 8, and also in Revelation 17.
The bright and shining sword of God’s judgment can be seen in yet another way by all the world: The entity that gives life to the image of the beast to speak and live within people is here, as described in the post on Revelation 13. This is the atheistic entity that has power over physiology to give people what to say, do, think, and feel. Today’s global culture is groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. This entity sets itself up as God within the temple of God, our body, as if it is God, 2 Thessalonians 2:4.
In yet another way the bright and shining sword of God’s judgment is seen by all the world: The Jewish people were gathered to the State of Israel in 1948 as God promised that he would do. It is there where God is unleashing the fury of His Judgment on Israel, “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.” Ezekiel 22:19-20 Israel has been in 18 wars since 1948, and even a war in 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. Ezekiel 20:34 says the same.
Global warming is instrumental in plunging the power center of the beast into darkness, as described in Revelation 16:10-11. When that happens, the entity with power over physiology will no longer be functioning. There will be no more uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and talents, amazing physical abilities, uncanny emotional responses, uncanny authority over others, etc. No more will people be fed what to say, do, think, and feel. Also, the mark of the beast will be powerless to hold people to a specific station in life. The world government and its global culture will be powerless. In that powerlessness comes the Battle of Armageddon in the Sixth Plague, leading to the Day of the Lord and the return of Jesus Christ.
As the watchpersons in this world, through Jesus Christ, He says this to us, “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16
“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
“….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, 3:11
