“I will also spread My net over him, and he shall be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.” Ezekiel 12:13

Babylon represents the global government of today, such as the United Nations that is progressing towards becoming the one world government.

The prince of Israel at that time, known to be king Zedekiah, was taken captive and his eyes were put out and he was imprisoned until his death. He never saw the land he was taken captive into, and he died there. King Nebuchadnezzar was in power at this time, the ruler of Babylon. The land of the Chaldeans was part of Babylon. “So they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they pronounced judgment on him. Then they killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, put out the eyes of Zedekiah, bound him with bronze fetters, and took him to Babylon.” 2 Kings 25:6-7

Today, the prince of Israel that was led into captivity around 1948 was David Ben-Gurion. He played a significant role in forming the State of Israel under the approval and cooperation of the government of the United Nations. In a sense, a net was spread over him, like capturing an animal. That net was his captivity under the law of the United Nations to restrain him within the boiling pot of the State of Israel, which was by the hand of God. David Ben-Gurion was caught in God’s snare who gathered the Jewish people to Israel to unleash His judgment on them, Ezekiel 22:19-20.

David Ben-Gurion was brought into the jurisdiction of the United Nations, and the Jewish people were led there with him into captivity. David Ben Gurion never saw the land of “milk and honey” within the State of Israel, never saw the safe haven promised to the Jewish people. His eyes were blinded as to what he was walking into. In the very same year as establishing the State of Israel in 1948, there was a war against Israel. There have been 18 wars against Israel since 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.

If David Ben-Gurion had been faithful to the will of God, his captivity within the boiling pot of the State of Israel, and the captivity of Israel, would never have happened. Instead of working to establish the State of Israel, David Ben-Gurion should have been working to bring the Jewish people to Jesus Christ. If the Jewish people would have turned to the will of God for them to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah, the Jewish State of Israel would never have existed. As Christians, we do not have a nation on this earth to call our own, our nation is the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth.

The sin of David Ben-Gurion, the sin of the Jewish people, and sin against God is to reject Jesus Christ as Messiah and Savior. Jesus frees us from captivity to sin and death to give us life in the Spirit and eternal life. “Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” John 8:34-36


“….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
