Israel scorns payment, unlike a common harlot.

“You erected your shrine at the head of every road, and built your high place in every street. Yet you were not like a harlot, because you scorned payment.” Ezekiel 16:31

In the eyes of God, scorning payment is to scorn any spiritual income that fosters belief in Him, scorning any spiritual income to acknowledge Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin, and scorning any income of the Holy Spirit. The Jewish people played the harlot when they erected their shrine, and they scorn any spiritual payments made to the will of God. The shrine of the Jewish people is the State of Israel, erected in 1948, which is a result of their rejection of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago.

If the Jewish people would have received spiritual payments in the will of God for them to receive Jesus Christ, the shrine of the Jewish State of Israel would not exist today. If they were Christians, they would not be Jewish, and they would be rich in the payments of the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we do not have a nation on this earth to call our own, our nation is the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth.

The Jewish shrine of the State of Israel is erected at the head of every road. That is similar to placing a building [or a harlot] at a busy street corner, in this case, being a busy place of international coming and going. The State of Israel is built at the busy place of world affairs, economic trade, and military empowerment. The shrine of the State of Israel is acknowledged worldwide, but she scorns spiritual payments in the will of God for her to receive Jesus Christ. The Israeli citizens has a high place in every street, which is their service to the false god of the entity that gives them what to think, feel, say, and do. They want to be seen by the global community as being part of the global culture. This is like a harlot standing in a high place to be seen by everyone.

Today, churches exist on practically every street block of the United States of America. They freely serve the false god in the high places that gives them what to believe, think, feel, and do. They willingly offer themselves to the will of the global culture within the community around them. At the same time, they have abandoned any spiritual payments towards the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The entity that governs through their thoughts and feelings enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through them. The masses of people within the congregation of the churches are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
