“And it will be to them like a false divination in the eyes of those who have sworn oaths with them; but he will bring their iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.” Ezekiel 21:23
The Israelites were in disbelief that the armies of the king of Babylon were coming against them. They felt it was a false rumor because they had entered into a covenant with the Babylonians. The covenant was that the Israelites would always live peaceably under the authority of the king of Babylon, and in return they would prosper. Instead, the leaders of the people sought military aid from a powerful nation and rebelled against their captivity in Babylon. Ezekiel 17 describes the covenant made and how the governors of the Israelites procured weapons in rebellion of their captivity. The king of Babylon reminded the dismayed Israelites of the covenant they broke, and he was legally justified to batter the Israelites.
In 1947, the documentation to establish the State of Israel was written by the members of the United Nations. The most prominent leaders of the Jewish people signed the documents and entered into an agreement with the global government. It was a covenant of peace to provide the Jewish people with a land of their own under the authority of the United Nations. Israel was declared a state in 1948. Since that time, there has been continuous conflict in the Middle East involving Israel.
The military of the Israelis is strengthened by the United States in the way of money, intelligence, advisors, training, and equipment. The governors of the State of Israel are being reminded that they are not keeping their promise to live in peace under the will of the members of the global government. The military and police aggression of Israel are legally justifying the actions taken against her by the international community.
Today, the Jewish people around the world are dismayed and in unbelief at how the masses of the global culture have turned against the State of Israel. As time progresses, the Israelis within Israel will be disillusioned themselves. Today, the Israelis believe they are living in the will of the global government by rioting and protesting against their own government, the State of Israel. However, they will be disillusioned to discover that as Jewish people, they mean nothing to the world government and its global culture.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we too stand amazed at the emboldened opposition, riots, and protests that are directed against the State of Israel. However, they have broken the covenant with God who requires them to live in peace with His will to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah. This is the covenant, “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
The wrath of God’s judgment coming against Israel is His reminder to them of their sin. The Jewish people will be taken by the fury of the judgment of God. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13
“….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.”
