“Sons of the East” seize control over the haters of Israel (Middle East) after Israel’s downfall.

Ezekiel 25

The Israelites had enemies all around them who rejoiced in their calamities and gloated when they were taken into captivity by the king of Babylon. Those enemies were of Ammon, Rabbah, Moab, Seir, Edom, and the Philistines. God promised to bring His fury against them for gloating in the judgment brought against Israel. Today, the State of Israel is surrounded by enemies such as the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Iran, and others. They rejoice in Israel’s calamities and want nothing more than her destruction. God will bring judgment against those who gloat in the judgment brought against Israel. God’s judgment comes through the “Sons of the East”.

Jesus Christ gives these words to us to live by, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” Matthew 7:1-3 The Holy Spirit always mirrors the words of Jesus Christ, “Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.” Titus 3:1-2

God uses this sin plagued world government of the beast and its global culture to bring His fury against Israel. Specifically, the judgment of God comes to the Middle East through the “Sons of the East”. This world system is not a friend of God. Likewise, Israel has turned from the will of God by rejecting Jesus Christ. They both suffer the fury of the judgment of God. The enemy of Israel is the same enemy of God. “Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” James 4:4

Israel’s downfall causes surrounding countries to mock and gloat.
“The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them. Say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God: “Because you said, ‘Aha!’ against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity,” Ezekiel 25:1-3

The Israelites turned from the will of God, abandoned the Ten Commandments, and the sanctuary was profaned. The land the Israelites once knew was desolated by an attack that came through the king of Babylon. The tribe of Judah was taken into captivity. The enemies of the Israelites pointed to them and gloated at their tribulation.

Today, the enemies of Israel point to her with mockery and ridicule at her turmoil and the way she is falling. Those enemies include practically the entire Middle East countries. Israel’s most Holy sanctuary (built on the Temple Mount) has been profaned, which was built by King Solomon the son of King David. This temple is now in the control of the Palestinian Muslims (East Jerusalem in the West Bank) and is referred to as the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In fact, with the looming declaration of the “Two State Solution,” east Jerusalem will become the Palestinian capital, and west Jerusalem the capital of Israel.

The judgment of God comes against the countries of the Middle East for mockingly pointing at Israel and gloating at her turmoil.

The sanctuaries of the Jewish people are also profaned because the Gospel of Jesus Christ is totally absent from being taught and preached there. They discard the entire New Testament. Also, Israel has polluted the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit which is the body. Only through Jesus Christ is the sanctuary made Holy as we are freed from sin by His sacrifice on the Cross. We are created to be the home of the Holy Spirit.

The land of Israel is desolate of her Biblical culture as the Israelis are captive in serving the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say. The Israeli citizens join with the global culture in the fight against the government of the State of Israel. The fall of Israel is the empowerment of the United Nations as the UN progresses in being the one world government. Israel’s enemies gloat in the tribulation of the government of Israel as an independent state in the Middle East.

The countries of the Middle East have the judgment of God coming against them for mockingly pointing at Israel and gloating at her turmoil.

The last section towards the bottom of this post gives a summary of Israel’s downfall.

“Sons of the East” seize control over the enemies of Israel in the Middle East.
“…indeed, therefore, I will deliver you as a possession to the sons of the East, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.” Ezekiel 25:4 

The enemies of Israel mock her now, but they too will be overrun. They will be overrun by the “sons of the East”. This happens when Israel is completely subjected to the will of the members of the United Nations, and the UN is steadily progressing as the one world government. Once Israel is “under the thumb” of the global government, there is no reason for other nations to deride her anymore. Therefore, the enemies of Israel who continue to come against her will themselves be brought 100% under the thumb of the world government. The Middle East is like the tumbling of dominos, when one falls, they all fall.

The enemies of Israel in the Middle East are fulfilling the will of the United Nations by destroying the independence of the State of Israel. That is according to the fury of God against Israel. When the enemies of Israel have met their purpose in destroying her, then the judgment of God comes against those Middle East countries. That judgment of God comes by the hand of the “Sons of the East”.

In Jesus Christ, we do not mock, gloat, or desire to be a part of someone else’s tribulation, as Jesus Christ teaches us, “Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!” Matthew 18:7 If we rejoice or boast in anything, let it be in Jesus Christ, “But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” Galatians 6:14

The entire Middle East region will be swallowed up by the sons of the East that are carrying out the will of the world government of the beast. The “sons of the East” are China and Russia with their proxies. China is directly to the east of the Middle East, and Russia is a massive territory. To the east, Russia borders a part of North Korea, China, and extends north to just a few miles from Alaska (separated by a sliver of ocean), wraps all the way to the west to the point that Moscow is directly north of Israel by 2300 miles. Russia has enormous influence in the Middle East.

The “sons of the East” will occupy the territory of the Middle East and will assume control over their resources (including oil). They will eat the “fruit” and drink the “milk” of the Middle East territories. On the map below, the vastness of China and Russia are seen compared to the Middle East, and they are both powerful world leaders with very powerful militaries. The Middle East is just a small territory. It’s easy to see how that region will be swallowed up by the “sons of the East” in the name of solidifying the power of the one world government. Israel is to the west of Iraq and north of Egypt. The enemies of Israel, who are pointing at and mocking her downfall, are all around

Israel’s enemies are made a stable for camels and flocks.
“And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels and Ammon a resting place for flocks. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 25:5

As we see in the world today, flooding countries with migrants is a sure way to cause changes in culture, constitutions, opinions, and the overall personality of the people. Especially when those migrants live according to the will of the entity that gives them what to do, say, think, and feel. This closes the mouth and oppresses the behavior of those hostile to the will of the world government. In this case, the Middle East countries that continue to come against Israel after she has been subdued will be a stable for camels and a resting place for flocks.

Camels are very much different than horses, and in those days, horses symbolized power and conquering. The Middle East countries are going to be filled with camels, not horses at all. Camels also need very little to eat and drink, which symbolize people who are adapt to the “sustainability goals” of the United Nations. They are not a drain to the global economy.

Flocks represents a lot of the same type of animals. In this case, the Middle East will be the resting place of people who conform to the will of the United Nations and have no motivation at all to continue coming against the subdued Israel. In essence, this fulfills the goal of the United Nations to achieve the unification of the Middle East by establishing absolute control over the entire area. There will be no more hostility from Iran, no more Hezbollah, no more Hamas etc. to beat down Israel, a conquered possession of the world government.

This is all part of the judgment of God that comes against the enemies of Israel who are also His enemies. Israel rejected Jesus Christ, which brings the judgment of God against her by the hand of the world government. At the same time, the enemies of Israel are also hostile to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, which brings the fury of God against them. The world government of the beast is the hand used to bring the judgment of God. When this whole world is under the rule of the government of the beast, then God is going to bring His fury by the destruction of this world system.

The destruction of this world system happens in ways beyond the control of human beings, such as global warming. God uses global warming as the Fourth Plague described in Revelation 16:8-9. Global warming is instrumental in destroying the power center of the beast in the Fifth Plague of Revelation 16:10-11. This renders the world government of the beast and its global culture powerless. In that powerlessness, arises the Battle of Armageddon in the Sixth Plague of Revelation 16:12-17. The Day of the Lord comes, and Jesus Christ returns. Click here for the events of the Seven Plagues.

The promise of Jesus Christ to us who believe in Him is this, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on Him who sent me, has everlasting life, and will not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:24

Israel’s enemies are made plunder for the nations. “‘For thus says the Lord God: “Because you clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and rejoiced in heart with all your disdain for the land of Israel, indeed, therefore, I will stretch out My hand against you, and give you as plunder to the nations; I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from the countries; I will destroy you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.“ Ezekiel 25:6-7

Today, we hear the voices of the global culture around the world rejoicing, their hands clapping, and feet stomping as they celebrate the decline and tribulation of the State of Israel. This is especially true for the countries surrounding Israel in the Middle East that have nothing but spite and disdain for the government of Israel. The hand of God comes against the enemies of Israel, which are really against Him. He makes the whole Middle East region plunder for the nations and they perish from the countries.

Today, the Middle East region is filled with hostility towards Israel, so the United Nations is not claiming affiliation with those countries. (Even though the enemies of Israel are doing the will of the United Nations). The goal of the UN is to destroy the independence of the government of Israel. As it stands today, Israel is an obstacle to the members of the United Nations being established as the one world government. When Israel is subdued, then the usefulness of the unrestrained Middle East countries to the United Nations will have expired. The Middle East will be restrained, subdued, plundered, and destroyed.

All the countries of the Middle East will be plunder for the nations. After Israel is subdued, the United Nations plows forward in being established as the one world government. The members of the United Nations will come after the other Middle East countries. Every country in the Middle East will have their resources and economies plundered to be put into the treasury of the world government (oil will be owned by the world government). The independence of the Middle East countries will be taken away just like that of Israel’s. They will be cut off from the peoples they relied on for their power, and they will be made to focus on the United Nations as their source of existence.

The culture of the Middle East (as it stands today) will perish. Women will be empowered over men, casual sex will be a way of life, liberal abortion rights will prevail, and the promotion of the LGBQT community will be all over the Middle East. Sharia Law will not exist because the only law of the land will be the rule of the entity that governs through the thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors of humanity. The Unite Nations and its global culture are empowered by 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 for a post on the “man of sin”. We are created to be the temple of God, not the temple of the entity with power over what we think, feel, say, and do. The culture of the enemies of Israel will perish from the countries and they will be destroyed, just like Israel.

The word of God is being fulfilled in front of our eyes, and we know that He is Lord. “The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy.” Revelation 19:10 If we want to know where the world is within prophecy, look at where Jesus is within the world. To see the hand of God move in this world is to see the need we have for Jesus Christ, “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.” John 14:11 God sent His Son to save whoever believes in Him, and doesn’t want anyone to perish, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

“Sons of the East” seize the Middle East countries who gloated that Israel is like all other nations.
“‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Look! The house of Judah is like all the nations,’ therefore, behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities, of the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kirjathaim. To the men of the East I will give it as a possession, together with the Ammonites, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.” Ezekiel 25:8-10

These verses explain the exact reason why God has put it in the heart of the world government to come against the countries of the Middle East. Those countries were mocking Israel for being subdued by the will of the members of the United Nations. The global government does not tolerate mockery against the countries who are “under their thumb”. God is giving the cities of the Middle East countries into the hands of the “Sons of the East”, which corresponds to China and Russia and their proxies.

As said in the previous section, the cities of the Middle East will not be recognizable as the culture they once were because the “Sons of the East” will have them. They will not be remembered as the Muslim nations they once were under Sharia Law. Instead, they will be transformed into the values of the global culture, and their cities will be cleared of everything they once were. Women empowerment over men will prevail, casual sex will be a norm, abortion rights will dominate, the LGBQT lifestyles will flourish, etc. Their new religion will be the entity that governs through their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors to align them with the global culture. This entity 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 for a post on the “man of sin”.

“And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 25:11

Jesus Christ came to set us free from the ways of this world by the remission of sin through the way of the Cross. The Holy Spirit speaks to us in this way, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Personal vengeance against Israel brings the fury of God. “‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended by avenging itself on them, therefore thus says the Lord God: “I will also stretch out My hand against Edom, cut off man and beast from it, and make it desolate from Teman to Dedan shall fall by the sword.” Ezekiel 25:12-13

God stretches his hand against the enemies of Israel (the Middle East countries) who take personal vengeance against Israel. Man and beast will be cut off from the land, which in those days is being cut off from the ability to produce agriculture and to earn money/trade. Beasts were any animal used to till the ground and hands-on manpower was essential. Beasts can also refer to the those living by the beastly desires of human nature, filled with carnal desires of vengeance, violence, and war.

Jesus Christ guides us away from setting our heart on the prosperity, economic resources, and entrepreneurship of this world. Gaining the world serves only to lose the soul in death to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Mark 8:34-36

“I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, that they may do in Edom according to My anger and according to My fury; and they shall know My vengeance,” says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 25:4

Some may question how the State of Israel would be allowed to use military aggression against her enemy while under the thumb of the United Nations. Above all, because the hand of the Lord makes it so. We are seeing a form of that happening today as the Israeli government is attacking Hamas and has been since October 7, 2024 (Today is April 23, 2024). They are calling this a “war on terror”, which puts the military action of Israel in synch with the goal of the United Nations. However, because the government of Israel is not totally subdued under the thumb of the United Nations, there is blowback. The UN has opened a case of genocide against Israel in January 2024, World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel, and are talking about holding Israel responsible war crimes.

When the government of Israel becomes 100% under the thumb of the United Nations, they will have the full blessings of the United Nations, by the will of God, to attack their enemy. There will be no blowback, no accusations of genocide, no accusations of war crimes, nothing but a pat on the back.

This is the way the entity works that has power over physiology to give people what to do, think, feel, and say. When not living by their direction, everything a person does is under scrutiny and condemnation. However, when a person welcomes this entity to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through them, everything they do is justified. For example, before being subdued by that entity, a person gets in a physical fight with someone and is given jail time. However, when living by the thoughts and feelings given to them, the fight a person gets into is basically swept under the rug and no condemnation is brought. That is their brand of justice, and the masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they do and say.

Jesus Christ tells us that our righteousness must be better than the righteousness of those who reject God, “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20 Jesus came to bring light, life, and Salvation, not scrutiny and condemnation, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” Matthew 3:17

Spiteful vengeance against Israel brings the fury of God. “‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because the Philistines dealt vengefully and took vengeance with a soul of spite, to destroy because of the perpetual hatred, therefore thus says the Lord God: “I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast.” Ezekiel 25:15-16

Countries in Middle East have spite against the existence of the State of Israel, with a perpetual hatred, and have been fighting against her since 1948. There was a war in 1948 with the Israelis, the very year they were established as a state. There have been 18 Israeli wars since 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. The Palestinians have been at the top of the list of those who have spite against the government of the State of Israel. In fact, the Philistines are the people of the modern-day Gaza Strip.

After Israel is “under the thumb” of the world government, the members of the United Nations are going to seize control of the whole region of the Middle East. That will be done through the “Sons of the East”. They plan to restructure the Middle East according to the global agenda of the “democratic” society of the beast, and to be established as the one world government.

“I will execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I lay My vengeance upon them.”’ Ezekiel 25:17

The Lord is going execute great vengeance on the countries of the Middle East, and they will know that He is Lord. In fact, the Battle of Armageddon includes the whole region of the Middle East, as described in Revelation 16:12-17.

Summary of how the State of Israel has fallen and sparks mockery and rejoicing from her enemies.
The enemies of the State of Israel love to point at her failures. They point at how the Temple Mount has been profaned. This is the temple that King Solomon built, who is the son of King David. This sanctuary is now in East Jerusalem, inside the West Bank, and is mostly under the control of the Palestinian Muslims. They call it the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Also, all the Jewish sanctuaries are profaned because they have rejected their Messiah, Jesus Christ. They have thrown aside His Gospel, the entire New Testament.

The Israelis have also profaned the sanctuary of the body, which is created by God to be the home of the Holy Spirit. They serve the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say, which sits within people as if were God. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. God created us to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son,” Romans 8:29

The enemies of Israel point to her failures and make fun of her desolation. The Jewish people are spiritually desolate because only through Jesus Christ is there fellowship with the Spirit of God. “Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” Hebrews 10:19-22

The land of the State of Israel is spiritually desolated for all her enemies to see. The Israelis have the most liberal abortion rights in all the world, they promote the LGBQT lifestyles, they riot and protest for their government to conform to the will of the goals of the global government of the beast, and they welcome the entity that governs through what they say, do, think, and feel. This is only the year 2024, and it’s easy to envision how desolation will come to Israel in the future.

The enemies of Israel point to her to ridicule the way she is becoming a captive to the will of the members of the United Nations. The will of the members of the United Nations is to be established as the one world government, and Israel is falling in captivity to that agenda. The “Two State Solution” is inevitable which is to divide the territory around Israel into two states, the Palestinian State and the State of Israel. West Jerusalem would be the capital of Israel and East Jerusalem the capital of Palestine. Even the United States has made it clear to Israel that she must subject herself to the will of the United Nations to establish peace and stability in the region. The United States will not stand with Israel against the agenda of the members of the United Nations.

God does not want any of us to mockingly rejoice over the tribulation of Israel.

Today, the world government and its global culture points at Christianity and gloats at the profanity, desolation, and captivity upon Christians. The churches are profaned as they are flooded with the masses of people who live for the entity that gives them what to feel, think, say, and do. They have put the Gospel of Christ far from them. Christianity is desolated as Jesus Christ is not in the churches, not in the policies and laws of government lawmakers, not in the classrooms of the educational system, and not wanted in any sector of society.

The Gospel of Christ is held in captivity, like Jesus Christ who had His hands and feet nailed to the Cross, His heart pierced with a spear, and a crown of thorns driven into His head. He suffered the pain and torment to bring the Good News of God’s love and to put sin in remission for whoever believes in Him. The world points at Him, scoffs, and makes fun of the Salvation He brings, they mockingly cry out, “Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders, said, “He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him. He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ” Matthew 27:41-43

Whoever believes in Jesus Christ will be saved. Hanging on a cross beside the Cross of Jesus, a thief woke up heading to Hell but finished the day entering into Heaven, “Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” “But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom. And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”” Luke 23:39-4

---

“….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
