“Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself. During the number of days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it.” Ezekiel 4:9
The “…three hundred and ninety days…” refers to the number of days of the iniquity of the house of Israel. Ezekiel was to live on the staples necessary to keep him alive, as listed in the verse above. Those staples would be used to make bread, and bread represents the word of God. Ezekiel was living in the will of God among the Israelites who were not.
Today, the Jewish people are not living in the will of God and are within the “...three hundred and ninety days…” of their iniquity. They live by the Torah which is the first five books of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. That means they have thrown aside the other 61 books of the Bible, which includes the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Today, the Jewish people are not living in the will of God and are within the “...three hundred and ninety days…” of their iniquity. They have thrown aside the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The few Jewish people living within the will of God, among the devout Jewish stalwarts, have to make their own bread to live on. That means to live on the bare essentials of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Even in the books of the Old Testament, there are enough basic ingredients to feed on the Bread of Life, the gospel of Christ. In other words, a Christian Jewish person could sit and listen to the words of the Old Testament teachings and make for themselves the Bread of Life through Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit reveals to us the “scarlet cord” in the Old Testament that points to Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
Today, the vessel we put bread into is our spirit and soul as the home of the Holy Spirit. The bread is the Bread of Life, who is Jesus Christ, and we feed on the bread of His Gospel. The staples of the food of the spirit and soul is to know that God loves us and has sent Jesus Christ to forgive us of our sin. In today’s world, we do not have a spiritual smorgasbord to feed on, so we feed on this, “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
Today, Christianity is being battered on every side. Although the Israelis do not have Jesus Christ, the Bread of Life, as sustenance for their soul, we do. We need to put ourselves in survival mode within these very difficult times of this spiritually wicked world. We need to learn to be satisfied living on the bare spiritual necessities of the Bread of Life.
The global culture is living by the entity giving them what to feel, think, say, and do and they have no intention of leaving a spiritual smorgasbord for Christians to feed on. The churches are no longer a storehouse for the Gospel of Christ, government lawmakers do not include the values of the Bible in their policies, the educational system does not allow the teachings of the Bible in the classrooms, and no sector of society welcomes Christianity.
“….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.”
