“Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man!” Ezekiel 11:4
The prophesy against Israel is that they refuse to humble themselves to surrender their Jewish identity to conform to the will of God. The will of God is for the Israelis to receive Jesus Christ as their Messiah and to adopt the Christian identity. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:” John 1:12 The Jewish people are not the children of God, but those who receive Jesus Christ are, “…but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.” Romans 2:29
“Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me, “Speak! ‘Thus says the Lord: “Thus you have said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.” Ezekiel 11:5
The Lord God knows that the Jewish people think that surrendering their identity to become Christian is a crushing defeat to them. That part of their ego and pride is not able to acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior because they would lose their Jewish culture, they would lose their Jewish State of Israel. That was always the complaint the Jews had against Jesus who they accused of blasphemy and destroying their Law and Prophets. Jesus replied to them, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” Matthew 5:17-18 Jesus is the fulfillment of prophecy in that He is the Messiah which God promised to send to the Jewish people.
The Lord God knows the thoughts that come into the minds of Israelis and of people in every city around the world. He knows people everywhere are living by the entity that gives them their thoughts and He knows everything that comes to their mind. God knows those thoughts coming to mind are against Him, against receiving our identity through Jesus Christ, and against the Holy Spirit who comes by living for Jesus. He knows people are against being the home of the Holy Spirit who is given by the remission of sin through Jesus Christ.
“….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.”
