“Now it happened, while I was prophesying, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah, Lord God! Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel?” Ezekiel 11:13

Ezekiel was prophesying about the Israelites no longer being the meat in the pot of stew referring to their exclusive relationship with God. Ezekiel was saying that the Israelites would no longer be any different from any other nation around them. They would be totally void of the Ten Commandments, spiritually corrupt, and no longer a window into the will of the living God. While speaking those words, a prominent leader of the Israelites, exposed to the lifestyles of carnal indulgence, died. At that time, Ezekiel was concerned if anyone was left who would return to the will of God. He cried out, “Ah, Lord God! Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel?”

As followers of Jesus Christ, upon hearing about and seeing the behavior of the Israelis on news broadcasts, we cry out with Ezekiel, “Ah, Lord God! Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel?” It’s horrid to see the heritage of the Israelites protesting and rioting for the State of Israel to conform to the will of the global government of the beast. They have decided to live by the entity of this world that gives them what to do, say, feel, and think.

 “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8 The “him” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast. Our name is entered into the Lamb’s Book of Life according to this promise, “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

“….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
