Spiritual weakness, horror, shame and grief will fill the world and salvation comes to those who are remorseful of their sin.

Ezekiel 7:16-18

 “‘Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each for his iniquity.” Ezekiel 7:16

The mountains are where the false god of the high place resides and where the Israelites arrogantly served their false god. After suffering horrible tribulation, they become like doves crying in the valleys.

A remnant of the State of Israel will escape the horrendous violence that comes upon her in the final days. The Jewish people will be so disheartened and dispirited after the horrendous attacks coming against them that they will be mourning because of the sin they committed against God. That sin is to reject Jesus Christ as their Messiah. They will be like doves crying in the valleys. A dove is a symbol of peace, meekness, and gentleness, so they go from an arrogant pride against God to a humble dove hiding and crying in the valleys. Being like a mourning dove in the valleys would lead to repentance of the remnant, “…as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:” John 1:12

Also, being “on the mountains” like “doves in the valleys” symbolizes the followers of Jesus Christ living among the global culture during the full force of the global tribulation. Christians will be like doves being preyed upon by hungry wolves. Today, we followers of Jesus Christ are afflicted everywhere we go by those who seem to know what we feel and think. They are empowered with uncanny knowledge and heightened intuition to harass those who live for God, express the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and embrace the Holy Spirit. We who live for the testimony of Jesus Christ. This is only the year 2024 and the affliction of the Jewish people and Christianity intensifies as time progresses.

Jesus reveals to us that those who seek to save their life on this earth will lose it in eternal hell, but those who lose their life on this earth for His sake will find eternal life in the New Jerusalem. “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

“Every hand will be feeble, and every knee will be as weak as water. They will also be girded with sackcloth; Horror will cover them; Shame will be on every face, baldness on all their heads.” Ezekiel 7:17-18

As for the State of Isarael in general, every hand will be feeble. There is nothing in this world that they can do to save themselves from the wrath of God. Every knee will be as weak as water as they will not be able to stand as an independent Jewish culture. They will be deeply distressed, horror will cover them, shame will overwhelm them, and they will be laid bare.

As for the world government of the beast and its global culture, they will meet their end on the Day of the Lord. Every hand in every city around the world will be powerless to stop tribulation coming against them. The climate will be destructive, and people of the earth will be filled with rage and lawlessness. Their knees will be weak as water because the will no longer be able to stand on the entity that once empowered them through their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. They will be deeply distressed as horror covers them in every city around the world. They will feel the shame of their vulnerability after once boasting, “Who is like the beast? Who can make war with him?” Revelation 13:4

How could something like this happen to a world system that controls everything a person says and does? Because the power center of the beast will collapse to render the global government and its culture powerless. During the Fifth Plague, the power center of the beast will have been destroyed by global warming in the Fourth Plague. There will no longer be power over physiology to form what people feel, think, say, and do. The world government of the beast will be powerless, feeble, and weak. The people of the world will no longer be empowered with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, amazing physical abilities and accomplishments, extraordinary skills and talents, uncanny authority over others, etc. This ushers in the Battle of Armageddon. Jesus Christ returns after that.

Because the world culture has rejected God and His Son Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit will not be available to comfort them. They will be spiritually feeble and weak in a world of horror, grieving, and shame.
