Woe to Israel and the global government of the beast.

 “Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, to the oppressing city! She has not obeyed His voice, she has not received correction; She has not trusted in the Lord, She has not drawn near to her God.” Zephaniah 3:1-2

The Israelis are rebellious to the will of God as they reject His Son, Jesus Christ, who He sent to atone for sin. Only by receiving Jesus can anyone be restored to a right relationship with God. They have polluted the scriptures and have polluted the human body as the home of the Holy Spirit by refusing to acknowledge the “scarlet cord”.

The “scarlet cord” is in the Old Testament and points to Jesus Christ as the Messiah of the New Covenant of the New Testament. The following verse is an example of the scarlet cord because it actually says that Moses chose Jesus Christ over Egypt, “By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.” Hebrews 11:24-26

The Jewish nation is called the “oppressing city” because of oppressing belief in Jesus Christ. They refuse to listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd, will not allow themselves to be corrected by the testimony of Jesus, they do not trust in the Lord concerning Jesus Christ, and refuse to form a close relationship with God through Jesus.

Before the coming of Jesus Christ, the Jewish people claimed exclusive rights to God, the Prophets, and all of the Scriptures. They were known exclusively as the children of God. After the coming of Jesus, the access to God, the Prophets, the New and Old Testament were open to the whosoever, as quoted, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:” John 1:12 With the coming of Jesus, came a new interpretation of the Bible, no longer exclusive to the Jewish people but now applies to every person around the world. “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

Today, the “rebellious” refers to everyone who refuses to reconcile to God by the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. The global culture has polluted the temple of the Holy Spirit, our body, by welcoming the anti-Christian thing which gives them what to think, feel, do, say and believe. The oppressing city is the global government of the beast. It oppresses the Gospel of Christ by requiring all people to allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them. It lives and speaks through people by the thing giving them what to think, feel, do, say, and believe.

The global government and its global culture refuses to listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd and instead listens to the thing forming feelings and thoughts which replaces the human conscience. The traits of psychopathy flood the world as people become egocentric to empower and exalt themselves above God. They feel no remorse and no need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. They oppose, ridicule, and manipulate the presence of the Holy Spirit as they detest the life of Holiness. The world fills with anti-social activity, with no empathy for others within their superficial charm.

The global government is used to bring God’s wrath against Israel, and at the same time the enemy of Israel is the enemy of God, which brings God’s wrath against this world’s system. We already see global warming in the world, which is the Fourth Plague mentioned in Revelation 16:8-9. Global warming is instrumental in destroying the power center of the beast which destroys the government of the beast (Fifth Plague in Revelation 16:10-11). Global warming walks hand in hand with the global government. The stronger the global government becomes the stronger and more intense global warming becomes.

Even in these days filled with psychopathy, we want to draw nearer to Jesus Christ to live a life of Holiness filled with the humbleness, mercy, grace, life, and Salvation of God.

I am thine Oh Lord
I have heard your voice
And it told Your love to me
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where thou hast died
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To your precious bleeding side

“….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
