God’s name will not be defiled anymore in the place of His eternal throne. 

Ezekiel 43:7b.

“No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places.” Ezekiel 43:7b.

Today, the Jewish people reject the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who gives life in the Spirit and gives eternal life in the New Jerusalem of the new heaven and earth. They serve and memorialize their patriarchs who have no power to raise them from the dead nor to give eternal life. For that reason, they live in their defilement, “…let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:10-12

There are no promises of blessings spoken about for the Jewish people in the New Testament, as all of the promises of blessings of the Old Testament have been transferred to the followers of Jesus Christ, as Jesus said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” The only way not to defile God’s Holy name is to let Jesus Christ live in us as we embrace the Holy Spirit.

There is only one King, and that is Jesus Christ as the King of kings and Lord of lords, “And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 19:16 Jesus Christ is not a dead king but a living King who is alive today and sitting on the right hand of God in Heaven, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?  He is not here, but is risen!” Luke 24:5-6 To memorialize kings and prominent people defiles the name of the Living God who sent Jesus Christ to bring eternal life to our soul. “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.” Romans 8:11

There is no memorial to “honorable” dead people that can bring life in the Spirit nor eternal life, only Jesus Christ, “He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives, He lives, salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart.” [church hymn].

….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
