“You are an adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband.” Ezekiel 16:32

An adulterous wife is a woman who finds love in the arms of another man. The Jewish culture abandoned the love of their husband, God, when they rejected Jesus Christ as their Savior 2000 years ago. Now, they have thrown themselves into the arms of strangers, which are those who empower her militarily and economically. Specifically, as is obvious, the United States is the main one whom Israel has chosen to commit adultery with, instead of being faithful to her husband, God.

God mourns for and loves the masses of people of this world, and the Jewish culture, like a husband who mourns for and loves an adulterous wife. He has sent His Son Jesus Christ to reconcile each one of us to Him, “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

Jesus Christ shares with us the Parable of the Prodigal Son to describe His forgiveness after we chose loving the ways of this world more than Him. He wants to reconcile any differences so that we can be reconciled to God, “For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:14-15

“For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:2-3

“….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
