““Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to save his life.” Ezekiel 13:22
Today, the Jewish leaders discourage their people to turn to Jesus Christ as their Messiah. In fact, they have tossed aside the entire New Testament, the gospel of Christ, and live only by the Old Testament. They make the heart sad of those who find righteousness through Jesus Christ, and they strengthen the spiritually wicked who reject Jesus Christ. The Jewish leaders are preventing their people from turning to Jesus Christ who gives life, and eternal life. God requires confession that Jesus Christ is Lord and belief that God raised Him from the dead. “…that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved…” Romans 10:9 This is something that the Jewish culture refuses to do.
In this verse 22, Ezekiel is referring to the women who were hunting souls to turn people away from God by smooth and flattering words that built up their self-esteem, dignity, and feelings of peace. At the same time, by their smooth and persuasive lies, they made those faithful to God sad, whom the Lord had no intention of making sad. The women would prey on that sadness by speaking soothing words to build up their esteem and dignity and turn them away from relying on God. By doing that, they were strengthening spiritual wickedness. The women were making sure that the people did not turn from their wicked ways to find life in God.
We live in a world where women are promoted into places of authority, which is very evident in every city of every state in America. At the same time, the lie is being fed to the global culture that peace and goodwill comes through women and not through Jesus Christ. This is by the will of the United Nations who believe the nature of women is prone to peace, goodwill, and nurturing while men are more aggressive and violent. They serve the creature instead of God the Creator.
The lie is being told that in order to create an earthly utopia of peace and goodwill to all humanity, we must not believe in God, must not call people sinners in need of Jesus Christ, and must not embrace the life of Holiness. Those lies are making the heart sad of everyone who does live for God through Jesus Christ and walks by the Spirit. God has no intention for us to be made sad. People are made sad so that they will be vulnerable to the smooth and flattering words of those who want to bolster our self-esteem, dignity, and feelings of peace. They lift of the spirit of the human being to turn people away from being built up in Jesus Christ. They are strengthening spiritual wickedness to prevent people from embracing the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ according to the will of God.
This is all part of behavior modification, to make people sad for the purpose of pointing to the entity that gives them what to think, feel, do, and say as their source of happiness. People are being required to live by this entity that enables the image of the beast to speak and live through them. The masses of people form the global culture who are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. They make the righteous in Jesus Christ sad and strengthen those who reject Him who are willing to live for the global culture.
“Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:17-18
“….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.”
