The sword is against the internal and external gates.

“I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, That the heart may melt and many may stumble. Ah! It is made bright; It is grasped for slaughter:” Ezekiel 21:15

By rejecting Jesus Christ, the point of the sword has come against all the gates of the Jewish people.

One way the point of the sword is set against the gate is that the Jewish people are not able to enter into the presence of God without living for Jesus Christ. They have stumbled, have a spiritually weak heart, and have died to the will of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the only one who removes the curtain between them and God. When Jesus Christ died on the Cross, atonement for sin was made and the curtain was torn from top to bottom. Whoever believes in Jesus has access to God through the Holy Spirit, “And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom;” Matthew 27:50-51

Another way the point of the sword is set against the gates of Israel is that their enemies are all around with terroristic threats and constant violence. The Israelis have been involved in 18 claw-to-claw wars since 1948, and even a war in 1948. Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. The members of the United Nations (global government of the beast) intend to dishearten Israel and to cause them to stumble. Israel has stumbled in that they have become the violently aggressive villain in the eyes of the global culture. The sword is bright and being held for the purpose of slaughtering Israel. The independence of Isarael is a stumbling block to the United Nations establishing itself as the one world government.

Around January 2024, the United Nations has opened a genocide case against the government of Israel, World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel. On top of that, 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“.

Also, the world government and its global culture has the sword set against all their gates. They have become hardened against the Gospel of Christ and are prohibited entry into the place of Holiness. They serve the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. They deny God the Creator and worship the creature human being, not allowing them into the presence of God. They reject Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, not allowing them entry into the place that enables them to change their trajectory. They oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit, not allowing them to reconcile to God through Jesus. Because their trajectory is on a one-track destination, the severity of the global tribulation will intensify as time progresses forward. Their heart will melt, they will stumble, and there will be a great slaughter.
