The land will be made more desolate than ever known in the history of humanity.

“So I will stretch out My hand against them and make the land desolate, yes, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblah, in all their dwelling places. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’” Ezekiel 6:14

Israel, the world government of the beast, and the global culture will be desolated. The Lord stretches out His hand against everyone who makes their body the home of the false god instead of the home of the Holy Spirit, “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, who comes through Jesus Christ, is the only 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

In the Day of the Lord, Israel and this whole world is going to be totally desolated and that will be worse than any desert that is seen on this planet. It will be worse than anything humanity has ever experienced since the beginning of creation. This old heaven and earth will no longer exist, and a new heaven and earth will be created for those faithful to Jesus Christ. The old Jerusalem of this earth will no longer exist, but a New Jerusalem will be created in the new heaven and earth for those born again through our Lord Jesus.

“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Revelation 21:1-2

“….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
