Israel is a land of bloodshed and serving a false god.

“Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “You eat meat with blood, you lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood. Should you then possess the land?” Ezekiel 33:25

The phrase, “You eat meat with blood”, refers to a violation of the Jewish law that is written in Deuteronomy, “Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life; you may not eat the life with the meat.” Deuteronomy 12:23 Because the blood is life, it was drained from the animal and then used to sprinkle on the altar when offering sacrifices to God to atone for sin. The Israelites weren’t doing that. The Jewish people of today are not doing that either. The blood of Jesus Christ was poured out on the altar of the Cross to give us life in the Spirit, and eternal life, by the remission of sin. The Jewish people are not allowing His blood to be poured out onto the altar of their soul for the atonement of their sin. Jesus the Christ says, “For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26:28

The phrase, “…you lift up your eyes toward your idols…”, refers to the Israelites abandoning the word of God to serve the false gods of other nations. They abandoned the Ten Commandments and other such laws. Today, the Jewish people has made their culture an idol by putting it above the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ and to live in the presence of the Holy Spirit. They have discarded the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the entire New Testament, to live only by the Old Testament. They lift their eyes to the idol of their Jewish nation. Also, the Israeli citizens have lifted their eyes up to the false god of this world that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. That is seen as they riot and protest routinely against their own government to demand conformity to the will of the United Nations. They are atheist that do not believe in the Living God, they discard the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and they oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The words, “…and shed blood.”, refers to the bloodshed of violence that is being committed through the government of the State of Israel. On top of rejecting the blood of Jesus Christ being poured out to atone for sin, and they lift up their eyes to a false god, they routinely engage in bloodshed. The Israelis have been involved in 17 wars since the State of Israel was established in 1948, they were even in a war in 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.

God motivates Ezekiel to pose this question to the Israelites, “Should you then possess the land?” That is the question posed to the Israelis within the State of Israel today. Should they possess the land of Israel while they reject the atonement that Jesus Christ made for them on the altar of the Cross? Should they possess the land of Israel while they serve the false god of this world and even the Jewish culture that they serve above Christ Jesus? Should they possess the land of Israel while routinely shedding blood in constant wars? The answer to those questions is obviously “No!” The hand of God is bringing that answer through the international community, the members of the United Nations, and the masses of people of the global culture around the world.

Today, the world government and its global culture reject the blood that Christ poured out on the Cross to atone for sin. They lift their eyes to the atheistic god of this world that gives them what to think, feel, say, and do. Much blood is being shed in cities everywhere in the process of the United Nations being established as the one world government. God poses this question to the world culture, “Should you possess the world as your land?” The answer is obviously “No!” as written in this verse, “Therefore wait for Me,” says the Lord, “Until the day I rise up for plunder; My determination is to gather the nations to My assembly of kingdoms, to pour on them My indignation, all My fierce anger; All the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.” Zephaniah 3:8

“….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.”
