“‘When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion. He roved among the lions, and became a young lion; He learned to catch prey; He devoured men.” Ezekiel 19:5-6
In desperation, Israel raises the second lion to catch prey and devour men.
The phrase, “When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost…” refers to the State of Israel waiting for peace and freedom to come but losing hope of being free from the pressure to conform to the will of the hostile countries around her. A peace solution for the region was drafted in 1947, when the United Nations approved the declaration of the State of Israel. However, it was never brought into reality because of opposing views in the Middle East and disagreement between members of the United Nations. Israel has waited and waited and waited for peace and freedom to come but that hope has now been lost.
Israel’s hope was lost when the United States began to advise Israel to refrain from using military aggression in the Middle East region (Except against the “War on Terror” as allowed by the laws of the United Nations). Around February 20, 2024, the United States declared that it was illegal for the Israelis to occupy the West Bank. Click here for news article on “White House reverses West Bank policy, calling Israeli settlements illegal“. This is in conformity to the will of the United Nations and in preparation of establishing the “Two State Solution”. This is something the governors of the State of Israel is reluctant to do, and in recent days has bluntly spoken against.
The self-determination of the State of Israel continues to progress against the advice of the United States, the United Nations, and the will of God. This is like the second lion that continues to catch prey and devour men, after the first lion was subdued. The first lion seemed to have had the full and unwavering support of the United States, but when that hope was shattered, “…she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion. He roved among the lions, and became a young lion; He learned to catch prey; He devoured men.”
He knew their desolate places, and laid waste their cities; The land with its fullness was desolated by the noise of his roaring.” Ezekiel 19:7
Israel’s second lion desolates surrounding territories.
This verse describes exactly what we have been watching the Israelis do in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, to this date, February 27, 2024. The governors of Israel know all of the desolate places where the terrorist organization Hamas is hiding. “Desolate places” refer to the places of the terrorists. Unfortunately, those desolate places are from one end of the Gaza Strip to the next, from north to south and east to west. The cities of Gaza are literally being laid waste. The terrorists hide in tunnels under hospitals, schools, homes, busy streets, etc. and it is all being destroyed. The land of Gaza with its fulness is being desolated by the noise of the roaring of Israel’s second lion.
Unfortunately for the existence of the State of Israel, the wrath of the international community (the members of the United Nations) is coming against Israel. The wrath of God’s judgment comes against Israel by the hand of the global government, as we see in the next verses.
“Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side, and spread their net over him; He was trapped in their pit.” Ezekiel 19:8
Surrounding countries come against the roar of Israel on every side.
The message in today’s world is that aggression and violence of any type is a violation of community standards, locally or globally. Especially when that aggression comes against the will of the goals of the United Nations. That is the pit Israel’s aggression falls in, and is the net spread over her roaring lion. It’s the way of the global culture. Because of the aggression coming through the State of Israel, the nations are set against the roaring of her lion, “Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side…”.
Today, we see the nations coming against the aggression of Israel from every side. It goes beyond the opposition coming from the hostile countries that constantly put the Israelis at war. The Israelis have been involved in 18 wars since 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.
The opposition against Israel comes from the global culture that protests against her in cities around the world. Even the citizens of the United States of America show more support for the Palestinians than they do Israel. The Israeli citizens protest and riot against their own government to demand conformity to the will of the United Nations. The members of the United Nations have passed laws against the aggressive activities of Israel. Even the United States refuse to stand with Israel against the goal of the United Nations for peace and stability in the Middle East.
Why is there so much global resistance to the State of Israel? Because the world government and its global culture lives by the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. People everywhere are synchronized to the will of the government of the beast by what they say and do. This entity denies God, discards the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and oppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit. The global culture detests the existence of Israel and Christianity. The anti-Christian culture is groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
“They put him in a cage with chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon; They brought him in nets, that his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.” Ezekiel 19:9
Israel’s second lion is put in chains and brought to the United Nations.
The first lion of Israel’s aggression was put in chains and brought to the United States to be subdued. Israel’s aggression continued with a second lion. The second lion is put in a cage and put in chains while being brought to be judged by the members of the United Nations (government of the beast).
Today, we see Israel being judged on a level above the authority of the United States. Even as I type this, the International Court of Justice has opened a case of genocide against Israel. World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel. At the same time, the United States of America has aligned itself with the international laws of the United Nations. The USA has declared it to be illegal for the Israelis to settle in the West Bank, “White House reverses West Bank policy, calling Israeli settlements illegal“. Indeed, the voice of dissent of Israel (dissenting from the will of the global government) is being silenced. As is the lion’s roaring voice of aggression, “They brought him in nets, that his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.” Ezekiel 19:9
The Holy Spirit says this to us all, “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.” Romans 12:17-19
“….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
