God is preparing to send His judgment. “He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand…” Ezekiel 9:1-2a.

What’s about to happen brings destruction and slaughter to this planet, which is a time after the United Nations has been established as the one world government. As we see in the coming verses, this involves the events of the Seven Trumpets in Revelation chapter 8, 9, and 11, the events of the Seven Plagues in Revelation chapter 16, and the Day of the Lord Zachariah 14.

A brief outline of this time of destruction and slaughter is startling because global warming is a huge factor in all of this. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9. Global warming is instrumental in destroying the power enter of the beast (Fifth Plague of Revelation 16:10-11) and filling the land with darkness. At this time, there will be no more uncanny knowledge nor heightened intuition. The entity that governs through thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors will be finished. It will no longer be able to enliven the image of the beast to live and speak through people. The mark of the beast will no longer be able to hold people to their specific place in life. In other words, the world government and its global culture will be powerless. In that powerlessness, the Battle of Armageddon arises in the Sixth Plague in Revelation 16:12-17. The Day of the Lord arrives, and Jesus Christ returns.

God has made a promise to all of us that no matter how bad things are on this earth for us, there is eternal life for whoever believes in Jesus Christ, “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

Those living for Jesus Christ has God’s mark put on the forehead.
Pen is ready to mark the forehead of the followers of Christ. “…and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.” Ezekiel 9:2b.

God called forth six of His heavenly servants to prepare the world for the destruction and slaughter to come. But there is the seventh man among them “clothed with linen” which represents being clothed in the Holy Spirit. He has a pen by his side and stands beside the brazen altar. The pen and what the man writes is talked about in the coming verses, but the brazen altar is written about in this verse, in the next paragraph.

The brazen altar was also called “the altar of burnt offerings”, “the altar of God”, and “the altar of the Lord” Once the brazen altar was consecrated, whatever touched it became Holy. This altar represents the place of the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God to atone for sin. Today, the altar is within our spirit and soul where we touch Jesus Christ for the remission of our sin. The man of Holiness is about to write something very important pertaining to us who come to God through Jesus Christ.

Also, the six men preparing the nations for the destruction and slaughter to come stand by the altar in service to God on behalf of those who live for the testimony of Jesus Christ, “For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.” Zachariah 2:8-9

The pen writes with the ink of Holiness. “And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side…” Ezekiel 9:3

Cherubim are guardians of God’s Holiness. A single one of them is called a cherub. The guardian of Holiness radiated the glory of God as he summoned the man of Holiness who had the pen by his side. What is about to be written is a very Holy event for all who serve God through Jesus Christ.

Mark of God is put on the forehead of those saddened by spiritual wickedness. “And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.” Ezekiel 9:4

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and also represents our spirit and soul as the capital of God’s presence. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16 The mark on the forehead is for everyone that are saddened by the spiritual corruption happening within “Jerusalem”. Being saddened by the sin that plagues humankind, and for our own sin, is to receive Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin. There are those in the State of Israel who receive Jesus Christ and will receive the mark of God on their forehead, along with all other Christians.

The mark of God on the forehead is spoken about in Revelation 7:3 “Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.” The seal of God is put on the foreheads just before the events of the Seven trumpets in Revelation 8,9. 11 begin to happen. And before the events of the Seven Plagues.

The writing of the mark of God on the forehead happens when there is a period of silence for “1/2 hour” before the events of the Seven Trumpets and Seven Plagues begin to happen. “When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.” Revelation 8:1. This is the calm before the storm when the United Nations is recently established as the one world government. Click here for a post on the “Great Global Reset” in Revelation 8.

The Seven Seals have already been opened, which cause a lot of global turbulence, before the “1/2 hour” of silence. From that turbulence, the United Nations steps in as the savior of the world to promise global peace, stability, and environmental calm. This is known as the “great global reset” or “build back better”. The UN establishes themselves as the one world government and there is “1/2 hour” of silence, or peace. During this period of calm, the seal of God is put on the forehead of those faithful to Jesus Christ, then the global tribulation is unleashed.

The seal of God on the forehead relates to the Holy Spirit as our guarantee of Salvation, “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 until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.” Ephesians 1:13-14

Those not living for Jesus Christ, who gives the Holy Spirit, face destruction.
Destruction follows after the mark of God is put on the forehead of Christians. “And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity…” Ezekiel 9:5

When the events of the Fifth Trumpet happen, the following is written about sparing those with God’s mark on their forehead, “They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.” Revelation 9:4

All of the Israelis, Jewish people, and everyone around the world will suffer within the events of the Fifth Plague unless they have the seal of God’s mark on their forehead. The only way to be favored by God is by living for the testimony of Jesus Christ, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

The world’s population is destroyed except those who have God’s mark on the forehead. “Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.” Ezekiel 9:6

The wrath of God’s judgment will begin with those who have corrupted His sanctuary, which is our body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. This will certainly include those who have corrupted the churches by serving as their god the entity that sits within them and lives through their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. This is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “man of sin“. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. They masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. “Click here for the post on “The Image and Mark of the Beast”

The wrath of God’s judgment will begin with those who have corrupted His sanctuary, which is our body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. This will certainly include those who have corrupted the churches by serving as their god the entity that sits in and lives through their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. This is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “lman of sin“.

Lawlessness, violence, and anti-social behavior knows no age boundaries, no social classes, no levels of power etc. The devastation will include “… old and young, both maids, and little children, and women:” Jesus warns us, “But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:19-21

The destruction of the “ancient men which were before the house” refers to the leaders of the Jewish people, and most notably those who plotted to crucify Jesus Christ to have Him put to death. Today, the Jewish people discard the need for Jesus Christ and have discarded the entire New Testament from their Bible, the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ. Those spiritually corrupt leaders are mentioned in Ezekiel 8:11-12. They are responsible for leading the Jewish people away from the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ.

Today, the church leaders have abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ to serve the god of the community culture. Instead of coming apart from the ways of the world to serve God through Jesus Christ, they have formed a partnership with the anti-Christian culture. They wear the fig leaf of humanism as they serve the entity that lives and speaks through them by giving them their thoughts and feelings. God is a trinity, which means that wherever God is there will also be Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The three are one and one does not exist without the other. Anytime God is mentioned, the name of Jesus Christ will be uplifted, and the presence of the Holy Spirit embraced. To claim to be serving God, but not lifting up the name of Jesus and scrubbing the life of Holiness is serving a false god.

Lawlessness, violence, and anti-social activity plagues the world and builds up to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is a time when people have totally blasphemed the Holy Spirit who restrains lawlessness, “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 Click here for a post on the “lawless one”.

The Day of the Lord mentioned in Zachariah 14 describes the destruction mentioned in this section.

Israelis do not have God’s mark on the forehead and is not exempt from the destruction that comes. “And he said unto them, defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.” Ezekiel 9:7

Defilement comes by death and death by sin. When the Jewish people rejected Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, that was spiritual death, and they were defiled with unbelief. They are defiled with death to the will of God, death to Jesus Christ, and death to the presence of the Holy Spirit. Israelis have been defiled with the shedding of bloodshed through 18 wars and violence since 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. In the global tribulation, there is going to be death and destruction brought to Israel.

Today, the Israelis have been defiled referring to their body as the house of God. They have welcomed the false god of the high places into their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. This entity enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through them. By what they say and do they embrace the values and goals of the global culture. Those values and goals are completely opposite of the will of God, the purpose of Jesus Christ, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. In fact, the Israelis protest and riot against their government and demand that the State of Israel conform to the goals of global government. The Israelis are defiled by conforming to the will of the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

The Israelis are spiritually slain inwardly which defiles themselves, and they will be slain physically in the days coming. They do not have, and will not receive, the mark of God on their forehead, and without that seal of God there is no Salvation. That seal is given to those who hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ.

This present world is filled with spiritual wickedness and the house of God has been defiled in every city around the world. God’s house has been defiled by the entity setting itself up as God by giving people what to think, feel, say, and do. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 The Holy Spirit warns us, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.” Revelation 18:4-5

There is no pity nor mercy for ISrael when the wrath of God’s judgment comes.
Will all the residue of Israel be destroyed? “And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?” Ezekiel 9:8

Ezekiel was concerned that there would be nothing left of Israel as God pours out the wrath of His fury on them. God’s wrath comes against spiritual wickedness, and He cannot and will not repent of His judgment against sin. However, He does provide forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ who made atonement for sin, “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. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17

The Salvation of Israel doesn’t happen because God repents of His sin against them (God is Holy and has no sin). The Salvation of Israel can only come because the Israelis repent of their sin against Him. The Jewish people will be cast out into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. They will not see God or Jesus Christ until they say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” They must acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Messiah sent from God.

Many non-Jews will come from all around the world and sit with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the New Jerusalem, but the Jewish people (sons of the kingdom) will not be there. “And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 8:11-12

Jesus Christ wants the Jewish people to be part of His family, but that won’t happen until they acknowledge He is the Christ sent in the name of the Lord, “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

Israel and all the world are filled with spiritual wickedness who reject the living God. “Then said he unto me, the iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord sees not.” Ezekiel 9:9

Lawlessness, violence, and spiritual perverseness comes when belief in God the Creator is absent. Without belief in God there is no belief in Jesus Christ who takes away the sin of the world. Without belief in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit is oppressed, and the life of Holiness is prevented. The spiritually corrupt say that the earth is in chaos and God doesn’t see.

Today, the land of Israel is filled with bloodshed as the Israelis have been in 18 wars since 1948 and also a war in 1948. 1948 is the year that Israel was declared a state.  Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. The Israelis have also perverted the Holy Bible as they have the most liberal abortion right laws in the world, they embrace the promotion of the LGBQT lifestyles, and are filled with sexual immorality. The Jewish people in all parts of the world have sinned when they turned from the will of God by rejecting Jesus Christ. They say the Lord has forsaken the earth and He does not see.

Global warming is one sure sign that God has given to us that He does see and His judgment against spiritual wickedness is operating. Global warming is the fourth Plague. As spiritual corruption progresses forward, the intensity of the sun’s heat intensifies. Global warming walks hand-in-hand with the United Nations. The stronger the United Nations becomes as the one world government the stronger and more intense 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

God recompenses without pity according to Israel’s own ways. “And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.” Ezekiel 9:10

What happens to Israel is a preview of the judgment that God is going to bring to this whole world. The world government and its global culture will be destroyed because of the spiritual wickedness brought by the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity replaces the human spirit and conscience as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people. A wall is built against God Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The masses of the world are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

“For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’” Revelation 18:5-7

Salvation is for those whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. “And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.” Ezekiel 9:11

The man of Holiness, with the pen in His hand, did what was commanded of him to do, which was to “…set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.” Ezekiel 9:4 This is a mark given to those who mourn against the spiritual wickedness of the world. They live for Jesus Christ who came to atone for sin for whoever believes in Him.

God’s seal on the forehead is given before the events of the Seven Trumpets and the Seven Plagues begin, “Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.” Revelation 7:3 The name of those faithful to Jesus Christ is written in His Book of Life, “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8 ”For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13

God also seals us with the Holy Spirit within us after believing in Jesus Christ, who is the guarantee of our inheritance of eternal life, “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 until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.” Ephesians 1:13-14

“….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
