Wild beasts pass through and desolate the land, and Noah, Daniel, and Job would be the only ones spared. 

Ezekiel 14:15-16

“If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they empty it, and make it so desolate that no man may pass through because of the beasts, even though these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord God, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters; only they would be delivered, and the land would be desolate.” Ezekiel 14:15-16

We can associate the wild beasts with what Noah, Daniel, and Job means within the context of the Bible. Noah refers to when the world was filled with spiritual wickedness, violence, and constant thoughts of evil [Genesis 6]. Daniel refers to the global government as seen in Daniel 8 and the entire book of Daniel. Job represents physical suffering of those faithful to God through Jesus Christ, loss of family and possessions, errant guidance from friends, but the eventual restoration at the return of Jesus Christ [book of Job].

The “wild beasts” represent a time of global tribulation passing through the land that is filled with spiritual corruption and violence when the United Nations governs as the one world government. This is a time of suffering, loss, and persecution for all who live for God through Jesus Christ and embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit. The only ones who will be saved are the few who hold to the testimony of Jesus. The faithful few will be saved at the return of Jesus Christ when this land is destroyed, as described in the Day of the Lord. We need to hop into the ark of Salvation through Jesus Christ and shut the door to spiritual corruption. We need to come apart from the global culture that lives for the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say. We need to be prepared to say, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18

Ezekiel 39 speaks of the Battle of Armageddon, which brings the destruction of Israel, and then the destruction of the world government and its global culture. Noah, Daniel, and Job will not be able to save Israel, only those whose righteousness is found in Jesus Christ will be saved.

Wild beasts of the land, literal animals of every type, are very much a huge part of Bible prophecy in the Old and New Testament. Those wild animals do kill human beings as a sign of the spiritual wickedness in the world, “And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.” Revelation 6:8 The same prophecy of the world being filled with demonic animals is said in this verse, “She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.” Revelation 18:2

Today, the number of people owning cute and fluffy pets are becoming less and less as those who own pets that could eat fluffy for breakfast become more and more. With that, there is a rise in the number of people being viciously attacked by animals of all types, animals that are pets and non-pets.

Wild beasts, literal and spiritually, correspond to the appearance of lawlessness and anti-social behaviors in the world. The Holy Spirit restrains lawlessness, but when He is taken out of the way then social chaos begins to happen. When Jesus Christ is rejected, the Holy Spirit is removed because Jesus is the giver of the Holy Spirit, “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed,” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 Click for a post on the “lawless one”. In those days of lawlessness, no one will hear the words of Noah, Daniel, and Job, but only those who hold to the testimony of Jesus will be saved.

‘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.”
