“The word of the Lord came again to me, saying: “Son of man, there were two women, The daughters of one mother.” Ezekiel 23:1-2
In this chapter of Ezekiel, we see that the mother of the two sisters is the Jewish culture. One sister corresponds to the rebellious life of the Israelites before the coming of Jesus Christ. The other sister corresponds to the rebellious life of the Jewish people after the coming of Jesus Christ. The Jewish people are compared to the Israelites because they both have turned from the will of God for them to live by the word of Jesus Christ. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:1-2,14
“They committed harlotry in Egypt, they committed harlotry in their youth; Their breasts were there embraced, their virgin bosom was there pressed.” Ezekiel 23:3
This verse provides a window into the Egyptian culture, showing why the Israelites wanted to turn back to Egypt when they were in the wilderness, and why God was so much against the land of Egypt. The Israelites were seduced to choose the pleasures of the flesh over the will of God.
To commit harlotry in Egypt refers to the Israelites giving themselves to the customs of the Egyptians while abandoning their faithfulness to God. An Egyptian custom was to groom very young girls to be accustomed to physically sexual approaches. The young girl’s breasts were embraced, and other very private parts were pressed. This opened the door to living a full-blown carnal lifestyle of living for the desires of the flesh while abandoning the word of God. As a result, they served the Egyptian gods. After that, the Israelites continuously gave themselves to serve the carnal gods of the nations around them and discarded the Ten Commandments and other laws.
Today, we live in a world where the younger generation is taught to be receptive to physically sensual aspects of their physiology. They are taught that casual sex is normal, that the killing of the unborn is a normal part of being sexually active, and there is no need to wait for marriage. The global culture of today serves the god of this world while denying God the Creator, discarding the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and oppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit. The citizens of the State of Israel have the most liberal abortion rights laws, embrace the LGBQT lifestyles, and have no restraints against casual sexual relations.
The entity that has power over physiology is able to ignite the fire of sensuality relating to the pleasures of the flesh. These feelings are the most basic and pleasurable of all the aspects of human nature. That is why sensual grooming is the most powerful way to entice people away from life in the Spirit to live for the carnal desires of the flesh. When people begin to be motivated by sensual feelings, then the entity with power over physiology enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through them. This is done by giving them what to think and feel to influence what they say and do. The masses of the global culture have chosen to serve the creature human being instead of God the Creator. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
“….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, 3:1
