“Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.” Ezekiel 36:25
When God sprinkles His cleansing water on our soul and spirit, that cleansing comes by our belief in Jesus Christ who atones for our sin. We are freed from the filthiness of the idols we once made more important than God, Jesus the Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The Jewish people can only be sprinkled by the cleansing water of God by receiving Jesus as their Christ and Lord, and by the Holy Spirit being a part of who they are. Unfortunately, they have rejected Christ Jesus and are not cleansed from the idol of the Jewish culture which they have made more important than Jesus.
Today, there are no blessings for the Jewish people mentioned in the New Testament. All the blessings spoken for the Jewish people in the Old Testament have been transferred to all of us who live for God through Jesus Christ, as quoted, “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
We can assess that God sprinkles us with clean water as we receive Jesus Christ for the remission of sin who enables us to live in the presence of the Holy Spirit. The diagnosis is that there is no cleansing without Jesus Christ and the filthiness of this world’s false god makes its home within people. That false god is the atheistic entity that replaces the conscience and spirit to give people what to feel, do, think, and say. This entity gives life to the image of the beast to speak and live through people, and by what they are given to say and do are groomed to the mark of the beast.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we plan to live by the cleansing that God gives to us through His Spirit and to turn our heart away from the false god of this world. We implement that plan by believing in our heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessing with our mouth that He is Lord. We know that plan is successful when we proclaim that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
The Holy Spirit in us is the guarantee of our inheritance of the New Jerusalem, Who also sprinkles our spirit and soul with clean water to make us clean from spiritual filthiness. We trust in Jesus Christ, “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance…” Ephesians 1:13-14
“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,” 1 Corinthians 15:3 “And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.” 1 John 2:2
“….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
