“And all the trees of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken and have done it.” Ezekiel 17:24

To bring down the high tree and exalt the low tree refers to bringing down the Jewish culture and exalting the followers of Jesus Christ. “And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.” Luke 13:30 The last who will be first are those who serve God through Jesus Christ (We were born after the Jewish people). The first who will be last are the Jewish people who reject Jesus Christ (They were the first born of God). “Israel is My son, My firstborn.” Exodus 4:22

The Jewish culture is the green tree that has been dried up. They were once those who upheld the word of God in this world, before Jesus Christ, by living for the Ten Commandments. When they rejected Jesus Christ, they rejected the will of God and are dried up as leaders into the presence of God. They only live by the first five books of the Bible, the Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. They reject the other 61 books and the entire Gospel of Christ. Their spirit and soul are emptied of the Holy Spirit and dried of the Water of Life.

The dry tree that flourishes is those who live for God through Jesus Christ. We were once known as Gentiles, by the Jewish people, because we did not have the word of God. We were a dry tree without the water of the word of God. We were not exposed to the Ten Commandments and were cut-off from the water served from the hand of God. When Jesus Christ came, He took away the exclusive rights of the Jewish people as the children of God. He poured out His Spirit on everyone who believes in Him, and our soul and spirit are now nourished with the Water of Life, “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 1:12-13

Also, the world government and its global culture are the high tree that will be brought down. They live by the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say as it enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through people. People in every city around the world are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. They will be brought down, “Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.” Revelation 19:20-21

Jesus Christ will exalt the low tree which are those who are beat down, cast aside, and afflicted by the global culture of the beast. We will be exalted in the New Jerusalem of the new heaven and earth. The world government and its culture thrive by worldly and physiological standards, but they will be dried up and made to wither. We who serve Jesus Christ will live an eternally fruitful life by the Water and Tree of Life. “I the Lord have spoken and have done it.“

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
