“It came to pass also in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:” Ezekiel 32:17
The date given in this verse is the length of time in captivity to Babylon, and/or more specifically, the length of time under a specific Jewish leader during captivity to Babylon. For example, we can say that captivity to the entity that governs through thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors began in 1945 when the United Nations was established. To date that, we would say in the seventy-ninth year, on the fifteenth day of the month. Or, referring to a specific presidential term under the United Nations, in the sixth year, fifteen day of the month.
“Son of man, wail over the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down to the depths of the earth, her and the daughters of the famous nations, with those who go down to the Pit:” Ezekiel 32:18
The famous multitudes of America include every ally she has across the globe, and they will be cast down to the lowest places on this earth. The lowest places are totally opposite of being famous and held in high esteem. They will not have the prestige, power, and influence of America to depend on. With that, because they relied more on America, economics, and military prowess and rejected God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, they will be brought down to the eternal Pit of hell.
‘Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down, be placed with the uncircumcised. They shall fall in the midst of those slain by the sword; She is delivered to the sword, drawing her and all her multitudes. 32:19-20
When in eternal hell, with the unbelieving multitudes, no one will be surpassing anyone in beauty. There will be no beauty in seeing the weeping, gnashing of teeth, torment, and anguish of the multitudes in the lake of fire. The multitudes of America, and all that allied with her, will be among the uncircumcised that turned from the will of God, rejected Jesus Christ, and oppressed the presence of the Holy Spirit. They fall in the midst of those slain by the sword.
Jesus Christ says to us, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.” Matthew 26:52 To live by physical aggression, rebellion, violence, and military might oppresses the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a member of the Trinity with God and Jesus Christ. To oppress the Holy Spirit is to suppress everything Jesus died on the Cross for, and to reject Jesus Christ is to turn from God. “Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” 1 John 2:23
“The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with those who help him: ‘They have gone down, they lie with the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.’” Ezekiel 32:21
The strong, the mighty, and all those who supported their spiritually corrupt leader will speak to their leader in hell. All of them lie with those who turned from God, rejected Jesus Christ, and oppressed the Holy Spirit.
The verses of Ezekiel 32:22-32, speak of all the armed rebels who caused terror in the land of the living and are now in the Pit of the dead within hell. Those who reject Jesus Christ to wage armed rebellion and conflict in this world will lie in the deepest recesses of the graves of eternal hell. As the word of God says, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’” Zachariah 4:6 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12
Those who live by physical aggression and not the Spirit will be as the uncircumcised that shamefully go to the Pit of hell. In essence, they made their bed of armed rebellion, and they will die by the sword. They will not be memorialized as men of bravery fighting for a cause they believe in; they will lie in the grave of the violent. The mighty of those nations, such as national leaders and governors will lie in the graves of violent men in the Pit of hell. They have lived by military options and rejected the will of God for them to live by the way, truth, and life of Jesus Christ. They are responsible for bloodshed and violence on the earth.
“….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
