She will be filled with sorrow, horror, and desolation.

 “You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria. You shall drink and drain it, you shall break its shards, and tear at your own breasts; For I have spoken,’ says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 23:33-34

To “...be filled with drunkenness and sorrow…” refers to not being astute in living for God in the presence of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. The Jewish people, and today’s culture, do not have the ability to accurately assess their situation and direction in this world. “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” Revelation 19:10. To be able to know where this world is heading, we need to be able to see where Jesus Christ is in this world. Because of the inability to walk in the light of Christ, and not seeing the Lighthouse of Christ in stormy weather, sorrow and shipwreck comes. The Jewish people and today’s culture are not able to see to change their course around.

“I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.” Revelation 17:6 The woman drunk in this verse refers to the world government and the global culture it has created. They are driving drunk and heading for a crash filled with sorrow, tribulation, and destruction.

The phrase, “the cup of your sister Samaria” refers to Oholah, meaning “her own tabernacle”. Jesus Christ is the giver of the Holy Spirit and without Him the Jewish people, and everyone else, are living by the attitude, “My body, my choice”. Today, Israel is living a nightmare because the cup she is drinking from is filled with horror and desolation. We might ask, “How can it be any worse?”, but it does become worse, as described in Ezekiel 39 referring to the Day After the Battle of Armageddon. That is what is meant by the Jewish people of today draining the cup of judgment that the Israelites drank. Not only do the Jewish people drain the cup dry, but they tear it to pieces by gnawing it with their teeth after it is drained. Catastrophe comes for Israel.

“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-17

“….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
