“Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, your brethren, your relatives, your countrymen, and all the house of Israel in its entirety, are those about whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Get far away from the Lord; this land has been given to us as a possession.’” Ezekiel 11:14-15
The entire population of the Israelis are far from the Lord. They desire to have the earthly nation of the State of Israel for their possession instead of clinging to the will of God for them to live for Jesus Christ. In their heart and attitude, they say,” ‘Get far away from the Lord; this land has been given to us as a possession.’”
The will of God for the Israelis is for them to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah, Lord, and Savior. To become Christians, they would have to humble themselves and no longer exalt their Jewish culture above the Lord Jesus Christ. If the Jewish people would have acknowledged Jesus Christ as their Messiah 2000 years ago, the Jewish State of Israel would not exist today. They would be Christians.
If the State of Israel did not exist, and the Jewish people were Christians, then none of the 18 wars since 1948 would have ever happened. Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page. Also, there would be no Israel to batter and terrorize from the Gaza Strip, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iran, etc. In other words, if the Jewish people would have accepted Jesus Christ as their Messiah, then they would not be experiencing the wrath of God’s judgment coming against them today.
If the Jewish people would have accepted Jesus Christ, for 2000 years they would have been putting the Old Testament customs behind them, they would be inter-marrying with Christians of every race, and they would no longer be Jewish but Christians. “…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 The parable of Jacob’s spotted sheep is the Holy Spirit revealing to us that God’s family is not purely the Jewish people. His family is a mix of Jewish people and non-Jewish sharing a family together in Jesus Christ.
With Jesus, the desire of the Jewish people to have their own land and own king would have ended over two thousand years ago. The Israelis could have been like us Christians that exist all around the world, without our own nation. Our nation is the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth. Unfortunately, they wanted their own land and own king which now they have and have had since 1948. That is where they face God’s judgments for not acknowledging Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
“….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.”
