“Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’” Ezekiel 33:11
God does not want any person to perish, but instead to reach repentance through Jesus Christ.
Through Ezekiel, God refers to Israel as being wicked and in need of turning from their evil ways. God does not wish for them to die in their sin. Jesus Christ was sent to the Jewish people 2000 years ago to encourage them to turn from their evil ways and reconcile to God. Jesus said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” Matthew 23:37-39
Jesus Christ came to the Jewish people and everyone else with the same message, that He has the authority to forgive sin and to give us life in the Spirit and eternal life in the New Jerusalem. He says to all who will listen, “Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die.” “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke 24:46-47
“….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
