The State of Israel is removed as the standard bearer of God’s word and His judgments are brought.

“And I will bring you out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and execute judgments on you.” Ezekiel 11:9

The State of Israel has already been pulled out of the midst of the caldron. That caldron is a pot filled with the culture of the Jewish people, and in the Old Testament times they were the standard bearers of the word of God. They were once the meat in the stew of the pot. They were in a pot filled with the Ten Commandments. They were the salt of the earth before the coming of Jesus Christ and held exclusive rights to be called the children of God. Today, the slain lay in that pot. They turned from the will of God when they rejected Jesus Christ, and now the Jewish culture is filled with the spiritually slain.

Because of the rejection of Jesus Christ, God brings the Jewish people out of the pot that once set them apart as God’s special people. They are being delivered into the hands of strangers and God’s judgments are being executed against them. Strangers refer to people who do not serve the God of Jesus Christ (who infills us with the Holy Spirit). The Israelis have been in 18 wars since the year the Jewish state of Israel was established in 1948. Click here for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. Those strangers also include the many other members of the United Nations and its global culture. The land of Israel is being come against with constant wars, with international laws against them, and with global riots and protests against them.

“Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.” Ezekiel 22:19-20

“….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
