Sermon #077 - Ezekiel Ch 7 - God promises to give every human being EXACTLY what they deserve...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams with Abundance.Church, and today we're going to be covering the earlier chapters of Ezekiel with the realization that Israel's evil dooms all of humanity to destruction by God's fury.
Now, we know how life on earth ends.
It ends with the seven trumpets, which are the seven comet impacts unleashed by God in order to destroy wickedness and destroy human civilization.
And the sixth impact or the sixth trumpet strikes the Middle East and destroys almost all of Israel, by the way, as well as Israel's enemies, Gog, the armies of Gog, and other nations.
And we know that this final day is called the Day of the Lord.
That's the seventh trumpet, actually.
The Day of the Lord is the day that all of earth is destroyed.
And this is all clearly written in the book of Revelation.
It's referred to by Christ in Matthew 24, and we've covered it in other chapters, including Old Testament chapters like Joel.
Ezekiel, as well, you're going to find references to this.
Now, it's critical to realize that God monitored the Israelis or the Jews more than any other group of people.
Much of the Old Testament is dedicated to the Israeli people and God really paid more attention, obviously, to Israelis and wanted them to succeed and he gave them more gifts and more blessings and more advantages than any other ethnic group in the world.
And yet, time and time again, Israel turned against God and betrayed him.
And at times, he talked about his fury against Israel, and specifically his fury against Jerusalem.
And he spoke about many things that he threatened to do.
But we have to remember that God sees all time.
He's not limited to the now.
He knows the past, present, and the future.
He is who was, who is, and who will be.
And as a result, he knows that Israel will betray God in the end.
And whether we're close to the end now or if it's still a ways away, today in our modern world, Israel, its leaders have become satanic.
They are pure evil.
They are steeped in secular sin, transgenderism, and LGBT themes.
They build biological weapons, mRNA jabs, and they inject their own people, which is, of course, a betrayal of God.
And, of course, they also promote genocide and ethnic cleansing and war and death and blood and all the things that oppose what Christ taught.
Not that Israel even believes in Christ, mind you.
But if you believe in Christ, and I believe in Christ, then we know that Israel's behavior stands in great contradiction to the teachings of Christ.
And God sees the Israelites for what they are, wicked people, evil people, demonic, satanic people.
And he speaks about this very openly in the Old Testament.
And with these visions given to Ezekiel, that's what we're going to cover today, beginning in Ezekiel chapter 5.
Now, by the way, it is true that no one was more critical of the Israelites than God himself.
And so in a modern world, Israelites hide behind this false defense of saying it's anti-Semitic to criticize them for anything.
So if they bomb and murder women and children and you say that's bad, they say, well, that's anti-Semitic.
You can't say that. That is, of course, utterly dishonest.
It's the kind of deceit that only a Satanist would refer to or invoke.
God criticized Israel more than anyone else, and we're about to see that right here.
Ezekiel 5, verse 5, Thus says the Lord God, This is Jerusalem.
I have set her in the midst of the nations and the countries all around her.
She has rebelled against my judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations and against my statutes more than the countries that are all around her.
For they have refused my judgments, and they have not walked in my statutes.
Therefore, thus says the Lord God, because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in my statutes, nor kept my judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you, therefore, thus says the Lord God, indeed, I, even I, am against you.
And we'll execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations.
So this is God saying that Jerusalem in particular, but Israel as a greater culture, is so wicked, it's way more wicked than all the other nations around it.
And that even God is now opposed to Jerusalem.
That even God says, That Jerusalem is the enemy, in essence, of God.
Verse 9, And I will do among you what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations.
So this, I believe, refers to the end times, the final acts of destruction of Israel that are clearly described in the book of Revelation.
And it's more than Israel.
It's all of humanity, of course, by the time we get to the seventh trumpet.
Because the day of the Lord, in the context of the end times, only happens once.
It's only one time that God destroys all of humanity.
And it is his wrath, his anger at Israel that compels him to do this, because Israel was supposed to be his special children, a special ethnicity, a special class of people granted special blessings, and even they couldn't learn to love God.
And so God destroys them all.
What we need to take away from this is an understanding that because of Israel's wickedness, they place all of humankind in harm's way.
God uses area effect weapons, which are comet impacts, to destroy Israel, and all of us are killed as a result.
So if Israel could become a good nation, Then God would reconsider, obviously.
And he would say, wow, finally the Israeli people have learned to embrace me, the Lord.
But that never happens.
that never happens, not even at the very last day. Israel and the wickedness of the Zionists, which is incredibly abundant in our world today, they are satanic, demonic, murderous, deceptive, evil people. And God sees them for who they are, and God destroys them.
We already talked about Ezekiel 38-39, when God destroys almost all of Israel. And He even, He calls the armies of Gog out of the north and brings them to Israel, or in the mountains of southern Lebanon, and then unleashes this massive impact onto Israel itself, or right near Israel, in order to destroy Israel and some
of Israel's enemies at the same time.
That's how much God ultimately despises what Israel has become. And if you know anything about the teachings of God and the teachings of Christ, then this is understandable, because Israel is the opposite of that.
Like I said earlier, Israel today, I mean, just in our modern world today, Israel is deceptive, you know, completely dishonest, full of bloodlust, murderous, rejecting basic human dignity.
Israel believes that they don't have to treat any other human being on earth as being worthy of even existing.
They think that they alone were chosen by God and therefore they can murder other people in the name of God and with God's protection.
And that is the ultimate blasphemy against God.
God never taught that.
And He doesn't want that.
God wants all of His children to be saved and to be safe.
But Israel is pursuing a project of so-called Greater Israel, which requires the mass slaughter of people in Lebanon and Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Iraq and other areas in order for Israel to expand its territory.
And so Israel's most important colonizing project requires mass murder, and they do it in the name of God, and that It's what unleashes God's fury for the final time.
But let's continue.
Ezekiel chapter 5 verse 10, Therefore fathers shall eat their sons in your midst and sons shall eat their fathers, and I will execute judgments among you, and all of you who remain I will scatter to all the winds.
See, it's very clear what he's saying.
He's saying, I will destroy all of you.
Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, surely because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you.
My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity, he says.
One-third of you shall die of the pestilence and be consumed with famine in your midst, and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you, and I will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
So this is very interesting because some people might say, well, all of this already happened.
Well, I'm not so sure about that because, of course, pestilence is a term that refers to the fallout from comet impacts in Matthew 24 and in the book of Revelation.
And then the sword. The sword is what comes out of the mouth of the comets and kills everybody.
So when God says the sword, it doesn't always mean war.
Sometimes it means comets, by the way.
And it's actually a cryovolcanic ejection burst that comes out of the front of the comets.
Are you familiar with the fact that most comets blow up in the air?
It's an airburst. I like Tunguska.
We covered that in a previous sermon.
The Tunguska Comet and more recently the Chelyabinsk Comet.
I think that's a part of Russia.
Tunguska, I think that's Siberia.
That was an airburst.
And it leveled 840 square miles estimated of forest, even though it never hit the ground.
And that's called the sword that comes out of the mouth of the Verse 13 says, See, I think the Lord is describing to Israel the fact that he will be eternally disappointed in them because they never become good people.
They are eternally wicked, satanic, deceptive, dishonest, selfish, pompous, greedy, and that God ultimately just says, I'm just going to kill you all, and that's exactly what he does.
Verse 13, thus shall my anger be spent, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be avenged, and they shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it in my zeal when I have spent my fury upon them.
Moreover, I will make you a waste and a reproach among the nations that are all around you in the sight of all who pass by.
And skipping ahead, verse 16, when I send against them the terrible arrows of famine, Which, by the way, refers to, well, if you think about the third seal, it's the black horse, right?
And the black horse is that it's a full day's wage of denarius for, what was it, a quart of wheat?
It's basically referring to famine and food inflation.
So these are similar references.
Verse 17, So I will send against you a famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you.
Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
Well, again, this is all very interesting.
Because blood doesn't always just mean actual blood.
Remember that in Matthew 24, it talks about how when the comet hits, the moon is turned to blood.
And pestilence, again, refers to fallout sometimes of comets.
And then the sword we already talked about.
So he's talking about pestilence and blood and the sword.
And he's talking about cutting off the food supply, which seems to refer to the seven seals.
Well, let's see what else he says.
Let's go to chapter 6 of Ezekiel.
And if you're wondering, is he speaking to Israel in all of this?
Yes, you're about to find out.
Chapter 6, verse 1.
Now the word of the Lord came to me.
This is Ezekiel, the prophet, saying, Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them and say, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God and Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys.
Indeed, I, even I, will bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.
So let me pause here.
Son of man refers to a giant comet, and this is described in Revelation chapter 14.
It's very clear. Verse 14 also, then I looked and behold a white cloud and on the cloud sat one like the son of man having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.
So the crown at the head of the comet and a sharp sickle, this is what's going to slice into the earth upon impact.
Verse 15, and another angel came out of the temple and And remember, the temple's in the sky.
The angels are the illuminated heavenly bodies that are coming out of the sky.
In Revelation, angels almost always refers to a comet that's burning in the sky.
It came out of the temple crying with a loud voice, because there's a big booming sound, to him who sat on the cloud, thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
So he who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
That's a comet strike that slices through the earth.
Exactly what that is.
And then it says that another angel came out of the temple, which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
And, you know, it slices through the earth.
And then verse 18, And another angel came out from the altar who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry, you know, again, a loud booming voice, you know, kaboom, to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.
And it talks about the wine press and so on.
These are all comet strikes.
So back to Ezekiel 6 when it says, Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.
These are the mountains that are struck in the sixth trumpet.
Remember, that's the impact that strikes Israel.
Verse 3, And say, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God.
See? Hear the word of the Lord.
The loud, booming voice of the Lord is coming.
Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys.
Indeed, I, even I, will bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.
Then your altars shall be desolate, your incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
Because, of course, Israel's worshiping false idols, like money and power and sex and all that.
And I will lay the corpses of the children of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones all around your altars.
In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, your idols may be broken and made to cease, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
The slain shall fall in your midst, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
And then he says he will leave a remnant, by the way.
Because remember, the sixth impact doesn't kill everybody.
It kills most of Israel and most of the Middle Eastern countries, but not everybody.
Because remember, later on, Ezekiel 38-39 talks about how they have to bury bodies for seven months.
So verse 8, God says, Yet I will leave a remnant so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations when you are scattered through the countries.
Then those of you who escape will remember me among the nations, and so on.
Now, moving on to Ezekiel chapter 7, God describes clearly what he's going to unleash against Israel in the end times.
Here we go. Verse 1,"'Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,"'And you, son of man, thus says the Lord of God to the land of Israel.'" All right, now here we go.
This is where you're going to hear lots of references to the end times.
And end, the end has come upon the four corners of the land.
Now the end has come upon you, and I will send my anger against you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will repay you for all your abominations.
And think about what the Lord would think of Israel today, how evil Israel has become, how demonic.
I'm just filled with bloodlust and mass murder.
You know, killing other people who are children of God, by the way.
You know, even other people who may not be Christians, but they are Abrahamic, they are of Abraham, and all the offspring of Abraham would clearly be considered children of God, even if they practice Islam.
God does not call for Jews to go out and slaughter Israel.
Other people just because they are a different religion.
Although there are some Zionists who believe that's the case, but that's because they have, of course, been deceived by Satan.
And that's why God destroys them.
God destroys all of Israel, understand?
But anyway, let's continue because here he's describing it.
Verse 4, My eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity, but I will repay your ways and your abominations will be in your midst.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
Thus says the Lord God, a disaster, a singular disaster.
Behold, it has come.
An end has come.
The end has come.
It has dawned for you.
Behold, it has come.
So he's talking about a singular disaster, which is the end.
Well, there can only be one end.
He's referring to the end, the end times that will come for Israel.
And it's interesting that he gave these visions to Ezekiel.
Very early on in this, Ezekiel knew what was coming.
Verse 7,"...doom has come to you, you who dwell in the land.
The time has come.
A day of trouble is near." And not of rejoicing in the mountains.
Now upon you I will soon pour out my fury and spend my anger upon you.
I will judge you according to your ways, and I will repay you for all your abominations.
And by the way, God will judge everybody according to their ways.
That's kind of, I call it the spiritual meritocracy.
God judges everybody according to their ways.
So if you are a good person, you'll be judged perfectly.
If you're an evil person, you'll be judged accordingly.
And you will not get to heaven.
Again, the angels have strong border controls in heaven.
Verse 9, This is interesting.
Yes, the land is going to be struck by the Lord.
Struck by the Lord. Okay, so get ready because he's going to describe what's coming.
Here come the comet impacts.
Verse 10. He's talking about the day of the Lord here.
Behold the day. Behold, it has come.
Doom has gone out.
The rod has blossomed.
Pride has budded.
Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness.
Wouldn't that describe Israel today, by the way?
Yes. None of them shall remain, says the Lord.
None of their multitude.
None of them. That's a quote from the Bible.
None of them shall remain, none of their multitude, none of them, nor shall there be wailing for them.
In other words, God and the angels won't cry for Israel when God exterminates them all because they are so wicked.
He goes on, the time has come, the day draws near, let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is on their whole multitude, for the seller shall not return to what has been sold.
Though he may still be alive, but the vision concerns the whole multitude, he's saying all the people, and it shall not turn back, no one will strengthen himself who lives in iniquity.
And then, verse 14, he refers to the trumpet.
They have blown the trumpet and made everyone ready.
But no one goes to battle, for my wrath is on all their multitude.
So here's his reference to the trumpet.
And then he says, the sword is outside, and the pestilence and famine within.
So again, the sword's pestilence and famine, which are all references to the different methods by which comet impacts kill people.
Whoever is in the field will die by the sword.
And that's because of the airburst of the comets, kills people who are outside.
And then he says, whoever's in the city, famine and pestilence will devour him.
Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning each for his iniquity.
Every hand will be feeble and every knee will be as weak as water.
They will also be girded with sackcloth.
Horror will cover them.
Shame will be on every face.
Baldness on all their heads.
Why do they have shame on all their faces?
Because they will know that they have been wicked and God has come to judge them.
And also then in the next verse, he talks about why just having money won't save you.
They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be like refuse.
Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord.
See? The day of the wrath of the Lord.
Very similar to the day of the Lord, which is the seventh trumpet.
They will not satisfy their souls nor fill their stomachs because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.
Fast forwarding to verse 25 here.
Destruction comes.
They will seek peace, but there shall be none.
Disaster will come upon disaster, and rumor will be upon rumor.
They will seek a vision from a prophet, but the law will perish from the priest and counsel from the elders.
The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the common people will tremble.
I will do to them according to their way and according to what they deserve.
I will judge them.
Then they shall know that I am the Lord." Again, spiritual meritocracy.
And this is the theme over and over again.
God says, you will get exactly what you deserve.
And I've said something like that, too, in the same conclusion.
I pray that all human beings get exactly what they deserve.
And good news for me is that's exactly what God wants, too.
God said it first.
And that's exactly what's coming.
Wicked people will be destroyed.
Good people will be saved.
You will get what you earn.
You will reap what you sow.
This is God's promise over and over again.
And if we go on and read Ezekiel 8, I'm not going to read all of it, but it's more abominations in the temple.
But verse 17, And he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man?
Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here?
For they have filled the land with violence." See, God despises when Israel commits mass violence.
So what do you think God is thinking about Israel today?
Mass bombing of women and children.
The bombing of food aid workers, the bombing of hospitals and universities and refugee camps, just the mass slaughter and killing of innocent civilians led by a forked-tongued Satanist known as Netanyahu who speaks with total deception.
An absolute Satanist claims that he has to bomb all the houses of Lebanon because they might have missiles in them.
He literally says there might be missiles and rockets in every house, and that's why we have to destroy them all while claiming to be protecting the people of Lebanon.
It's unbelievable what Netanyahu is.
Clearly satanic, and God will unleash his anger upon Israel.
He promises to do exactly that.
Continuing, Indeed, they put the branch to their nose.
Therefore, I also will act in fury.
My eye will not spare, nor will I have pity.
And though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them, he says.
And if we fast forward to Ezekiel 15, it says,"...therefore thus says the Lord God," this is about the vine, the outcast vine,"...like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and I will set my face against them.
They will go out from one fire, but another fire shall devour them." Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
When I set my face against them, thus I will make the land desolate, because they have persisted in unfaithfulness, says the Lord God.
So again, the same promises of total destruction of Israel for their wickedness.
And fast-forwarding to Ezekiel 18, one of the last verses is really important.
God always tries to give The Israelis another chance.
And ultimately, I believe this is why he unleashes the total destruction of Israel because he gave them so many chances and they turned against him again and again and again and again.
Remember, all that God wants is for his children to love him and to act in love.
And when Israel turns so wicked and evil and filled with blood and destruction and suffering and mass murder and slaughter, God despises that, even though he keeps trying to bless Israel over and over and over again in the Old Testament.
So you have this on-again, off-again pattern of God saying, I will destroy you, and then I will bless you, I will redeem you.
But it's a It's an attempted negotiation, let's say.
God is trying to negotiate with the Israelites.
And so he keeps giving them both sides of this.
It's like, if you are evil, I will destroy you.
If you are good, I will bless you.
And it gives them this choice over and over again.
And here at one of the last verses of Ezekiel 18 is a good example of that.
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, everyone according to his ways, says the Lord God.
Repent and turn from all your transgressions so that iniquity will not be your last ruin.
Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit.
For why should you die, O house of Israel?
For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies, says the Lord God.
Therefore turn and live.
He's practically begging Israel to not be wicked because he doesn't want to have to destroy Israel.
But, of course, Israel continues to be wicked even to this day.
And, you know, ultimately God destroys Israel.
In fact, I like the verses right before that.
Let me read those in the same chapter.
Verse 25, this is a quote from the Lord, Yet you say the way of the Lord is not fair.
Hear now, O house of Israel, Is it not my way which is fair, and your ways which are not fair?
This is the Lord saying this.
Verse 26, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity, and dies in it, it is because of the iniquity which he has done that he dies.
Again, when a wicked man turns away from the wickedness which he committed and does what is lawful and right, he preserves himself alive.
Because he considers and turns away from all the transgressions which he committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Yet the house of Israel says, the way of the Lord is not fair.
Oh, house of Israel, is it not my ways which are fair and your ways which are not fair?
This is God chiding Israel, telling the whole nation of Israel how insane they are.
He's like, all you have to do is follow my laws, God's laws.
Don't be wicked. Don't be evil.
Don't cause violence. Don't kill everybody.
And then Israel complains, you know, and says that it's not fair for God to judge us in this way.
You could even hear that echoing today when Israel pretends that it's the victim of everything.
Oh, we're the victims, says Netanyahu, even though Israel is assassinating people in multiple countries, bombing Yemen, bombing Lebanon, bombing Iran, bombing Gaza, murdering people in the West Bank, assassinating leaders, Shooting doctors in the head with sniper rounds from the IDF, just murdering and killing everybody in sight, but yet somehow they're always the victims, you know?
The Lord, that's not okay with the Lord.
The Lord judges Israel and will judge Israel with its total destruction.
Israel will be destroyed even in our modern time.
That is God's promise.
And then in Ezekiel 20, God makes reference to the first trumpet impact, which, remember, burns up a third of the trees of earth and burns all the grass across the entire planet.
Here he describes this, verse 45.
Furthermore, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, set your face toward the south, preach against the south, and prophesy against the forest land, the south, and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the
Lord. You could say, well, this is all just metaphor.
In fact, the next line says, then I said, this is Ezekiel, ah, Lord God, they say of me, does he not speak parables?
So, of course, you could say these are just metaphors or parables or little lessons, but God answers that.
In Ezekiel 21, Because I will cut off both righteous and wicked from you,
therefore my sword shall go out of its sheath against all flesh from south to north, that all flesh may know that I, the Lord, have drawn my sword out of its sheath and shall not return any more.
So he's saying that the Lord has spoken and it's not a joke, that he's going to destroy all of Israel.
Recall that IDF soldiers routinely rape young Palestinian girls and Palestinian men are raped and sodomized by Israeli men when they're held as prisoners and the videotapes of that have come out.
The Israelis or the Zionists are very much into rape and torture.
And God even talks about how horrific this is in Ezekiel 22.
Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me saying, Now, son of man, will you judge?
Will you judge the bloody city? Yes, show her all her abominations.
Then say, Thus says the Lord God, The city sheds blood in her own midst that her time may come, and she makes idols within herself to defile herself.
Talking about the city. You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made.
You have caused your days to draw near and have come to the end of your years.
Therefore, I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mockery to all countries.
Those near and those far from you will mock you as infamous and full of tumult.
So this is exactly what's happening today.
The nations of the world are astonished at the evil of Israel.
They can't believe it.
Nicaragua, by the way, just cut off diplomatic ties with Israel.
Israel has been accused credibly of genocidal war crimes in the International Court of Justice.
And the evidence presented to the ICJ are the video quotes from the leaders of Israel itself, who openly say that they need to murder everybody around them who isn't an Israelite, and they need to take their land and get rid of them all.
I mean, they don't hide it, in other words.
Verse 6, look the princes of Israel each one has used his power to shed blood in you in you They have made light of father and mother in your midst They have oppressed the stranger in you they have mistreated the fatherless and the widow You have despised my holy things and profaned my Sabbaths in You are men who slander to cause bloodshed in you are those who eat on the mountains in your midst they commit lewdness
In you men uncover their father's nakedness in you they violate women who are set apart during their impurity one commits abomination with his neighbor's wife another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law and Another in you violates his sister his father's daughter in you they take bribes to shed blood You take usury and increase You have made profit from your neighbors by extortion and
have forgotten me says the Lord God Doesn't that sound like Israel today?
Sounds entirely like Israel.
Taking money from the U.S., all this money to commit murder and rape and pillaging and suffering and death and blood, yes.
Verse 13 says, Behold, therefore I beat my fists at the dishonest profit which you have made and at the bloodshed which has been in your midst.
Can your heart endure or can your hands remain strong in the days when I shall deal with you?
I, the Lord, have spoken and will do it.
I will scatter you among the nations, disperse you throughout the countries, and remove your filthiness completely from you.
You shall defile yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you shall know that I am the Lord." God is going to shame Israel before he completely destroys it.
you And now, in Ezekiel, he makes reference to the sixth trumpet, which is the sixth impact of And you may recall, the sixth impact is full of fire, and it boils away all the water of the Euphrates River, as well as killing almost everybody in Israel.
God specifically mentions this in verse 17 of Ezekiel 22.
The word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me, We're good to go.
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.
And by the way, he did gather the armies of Israel, as described later in Ezekiel 38-39.
He gathered the armies as well as the armies of Gog, and then he destroyed them all with the sixth trumpet.
Verse 21, Yes, I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.
As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst.
Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have poured out my fury upon you.
And by the way, when the bowls are inflicted upon Israel and the Middle East, in Revelation it says they are poured out.
So the sixth bowl is poured out by an angel upon Israel and the Middle East.
So this is God telling Ezekiel exactly what's coming.
And by the way, if you're looking for proof that God is referring to the sixth bowl, let me read the sixth bowl for you out of Revelation.
Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water dried up so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
For they are spirits of demons performing signs which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, listen carefully, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty, and they gathered them together to the place called, in Hebrew, Armageddon.
This is what God is talking about, that he will gather them together, and then he will unleash fire upon them.
And the sixth trumpet is Which refers to the sixth angel being sounded, says, And back to Ezekiel.
God goes on to talk about how wicked Israel's leaders really are.
He says, The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy, and they wrongfully oppressed the stranger.
So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land that I should not destroy it.
But I found no one.
Could not find one honest Israelite.
Verse 31, therefore I have poured out my indignation on them, I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath, and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads, says the Lord God.
And by the way, remember how I said that with the sixth trumpet, God destroys Israel, but also all of its enemies as well.
Later on in Ezekiel here, like chapter 30, it talks about the destruction of Egypt.
And it talks about the fire and the sword and how the rivers will go dry.
Well, that's exactly what's mentioned, you know, in the sixth trumpet, the sixth impact.
But the Lord talks about the different lands and how he's going to destroy them all and how Israel has become so wicked.
But he's very, overall, just very unhappy with humankind and especially unhappy with Israel.
And this is what brings God to the decision to unleash Israel.
The trumpets.
Now, what's interesting to me about all of this is that the seven trumpets, which are seven waves of comet impacts that destroy earth, if you think about it, when God showed Ezekiel these things, that was thousands of years ago.
I don't know the exact time, but let's say, let's just guess that it's 3,000 years ago, or no, 2,500 years ago, let's say.
I'm just guessing. Let's say 2,500 years ago.
Well, God would need to find some suitable space rocks, and he would need to alter their trajectory using gravity, and he would send them on course to Earth, but it may take thousands of years for them to arrive.
Think about this.
God doesn't just materialize matter out of nothing in this simulation.
Even though he created the entire simulation, he initially created all matter, but then he set the universe on a cause and effect timeline with certain laws and rules, like the laws of gravity, the laws of electromagnetism, the rules of the table of elements, atomic physics, chemistry, and so on.
God then works with those laws so he can He can influence gravity.
He can influence electromagnetism.
He can influence wind.
But you don't see God just instantly creating giant space rocks in the sky.
What he does is he works through nature to achieve what he wants to do on Earth.
In other words, he would locate...
Large rocks somewhere in our solar system, perhaps, or even maybe outside the solar system.
And he would then nudge them with a gravitational pull that would set them on a trajectory to collide with Earth.
But like I said, that collision might take thousands of years.
Maybe 2,500 years.
Maybe when God is saying this to Ezekiel, that's when he sets in motion the comets that are going to collide with earth.
And maybe even God says that, you know, we'll give Israel a chance because later on in other chapters, God is trying to give Israel more blessings and to redeem Israel, give them a shot to redeem themselves.
Maybe God says, you know, I'm going to start the clock, and I can always turn these comets away from Earth if the Israelites stop being wicked.
Maybe if they repent of their sins and turn to God, then maybe if all of humanity becomes less evil, then we can divert these comets, and it will be like a...
As they call it, a near miss, which is actually a near hit.
But they can be diverted.
But if humanity continues to be evil, then they won't be diverted.
They'll be on track.
And here we are, a couple thousand years later or more, and Israel is more wicked than it has ever been, even in the Bible.
So I don't think that God is going to save us And these have been on the way for a very long time, and the impact is coming.
And then later on, Ezekiel, of course, God famously says, I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes.
And he offers, once again, blessings to Israel, and you're going to have children, and everything's going to be awesome.
I will multiply the fruit of your trees.
But this is always conditional.
God's blessings are always conditional, and the contract is the covenant.
And Israel never fulfills the covenant.
That's the problem, is that time and time again, Israel becomes wicked.
They're just...
They're people who can never embrace God.
They will always turn against God in their wickedness, again and again.
And then, of course, if we continue, we get to Ezekiel 38 and 39, which very specifically refers to the common impacts.
In fact, Ezekiel 38, and I've covered this in another sermon, so I'm not going to go into great detail, but Verse 22, And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed.
I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
That's the sixth impact right there.
Oh, and he says, Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.
So that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the fields, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at my presence.
The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
And he destroys Gog, the armies of Gog, and destroys almost everybody in Israel.
And he even says, when Gog comes against the land of Israel, my fury will show in my face.
For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath, I have spoken.
And then he talks about the earthquakes and the mountains collapsing, and then the fire and brimstone and flooding, rain, hailstones and everything.
And that's the end of Ezekiel 38.
And then at the end of Ezekiel 39, verse 29, the Lord says, I will not hide my face from them anymore, for I shall have poured out my spirit on the house of Israel, says the Lord God.
When he says he poured out his spirit, that means his wrath.
He even says that in verse 25.
Therefore, thus says the Lord God, now I will bring back the captives of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for my holy name after they have borne their shame and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to me when they dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid when I brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies' lands and I am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations.
then they shall know that I am the Lord their God who sent them into captivity, and now I'm paraphrasing, and also brought them back.
And I will not hide my face from them anymore.
What he's saying is the sixth impact of the comets, which is the sixth bowl, the sixth trumpet, and the sixth seal, destroys most of Israel, but not all of them.
And that's how he has mercy on Israel, is he doesn't kill them all.
He leaves a remnant, which was mentioned earlier in Ezekiel.
But The survivors now know that God is real because he destroyed almost everything.
And he destroyed, of course, the armies of Gog and other nations and destroyed the Euphrates River and so on.
So... See, Israel is so wicked and evil, even to this day, that God's mercy on them is defined as, like, I'm not going to kill 100% of you, but maybe 99.9%.
We'll leave a little remnant who will know that I am the Lord, and I will not hide my face any longer.
And he says, for I have poured out my spirit on the house of Israel.
His anger with Israel, his fury with Israel, that's what he's saying.
And by the way, after the sixth impact, the people of Israel still do not embrace God.
They do not. And thus, that leads to the seventh impact, which kills all the remaining Israelites and every other human being on earth, and we've already covered that in previous sermons.
So you understand that Israel is so wicked that they make God...
Angry enough to kill everybody on the planet.
God is so fed up with Israel that we all die.
In other words, God doesn't save Israel, but Israel dooms humanity.
Israel dooms human civilization.
That's how evil and wicked they are.
God sends comets to destroy wickedness in Israel Comets that destroy the whole planet because their area affect weapons.
Yeah, that's what happens.
That's what the Bible describes.
And that's the price that we are all going to pay for our senators and congresspeople selling themselves out, whoring themselves out to Israel to support its genocide with more weapons and bombs and money.
This has cosmic implications.
Ultimately, it means the total destruction of planet Earth as we know it.
That's what happens when you support wickedness and evil, especially when God is watching.
He watches Israel more than any other group, and thus his disappointment with them unleashes more fury than with any other group.
So yes, at the end of the day, Israel's evil and wickedness dooms all of humankind.
So think about the implications of that.
Get right with God.
Time is limited.
It looks like we're headed for nuclear war in the Middle East right now.
Of course, initiated by Israel.
The end times could be very close.
We don't know for sure. But it's not looking good right now.
So Be a good person.
Don't be like Israel.
Don't run around killing people and raping people and torturing people.
That's what Israel does. That's what Israel stands for.
Be a good person.
Don't be like Israel. And God will have mercy on your soul, even though he will have no mercy on the souls of the evil Israelites, by the way.
He destroys Israel.
The nation of Israel and sends their souls to hell because they won't qualify, most of them.
There will be a few. There's a remnant of savable souls who will obey God's commands, even in Israel, the land of intense wickedness.
But it won't be many.
There won't be many Israelites in heaven, in other words, the Frankly, there probably won't be a lot of anybody in heaven because look at the people across earth.
How many people will deserve to go to heaven?
How many people are good people?
I don't know. I don't know the number.
But it's not even half the population.
How many people are people of faith?
How many people actually attempt to help others?
I mean, think about just all the people you know.
Out of a hundred people that you know, how many of them are like heaven-worthy?
Five? Maybe?
Just guessing. I don't know.
Ten? Do you have really good friends?
I mean, sometimes the people you know, it's not your fault.
If they're evil, it might be Family members or co-workers, people that you had no choice in meeting, but nevertheless, they're in your life, and you see them, and you realize they're wicked.
There's no way those people are going to heaven.
Let me think about it. Could 5% of Earth's population go to heaven?
10%? 1%?
I don't know the answer to that.
I guess only God knows, but The thing is, I've said this before, it's not that difficult to be a good person.
It's really not.
That's what's so shocking to me.
Now that we know how this works, we know the rules of the game, so to speak, we know that we are saved if we are just good people who believe in Christ, believe in God, and are obedient to God.
It's not that difficult.
And yet, almost everybody fails.
So... Well, I guess that's why the dimensions of heaven, you know, they give how many cubits it is.
It's not that big.
I forgot how many cubits.
That's in Revelation 21.
Let's look it up. How many cubits is heaven?
Okay, here it is.
Here it is. It's described in Revelation 21, verse 16.
And this is heaven. The city is laid out as a square.
Its length is as great as its breadth.
And he measured the city with the read 12,000 furlongs.
Oh, 12,000 furlongs.
And then he measured its wall 144 cubits.
Okay. All right, so 12,000 furlongs.
How big is 12,000 furlongs?
Okay, I'm seeing that it's widely cited as 606 feet.
Great, it has to be in feet.
Why couldn't God have used the metric system?
Easier to convert.
All right, so if it's 606 feet times 12,000 furlongs, let me run a calculation.
Okay. I have the number for you here.
It is apparently 2,200 kilometers.
Okay, it's bigger than I thought.
2,200 kilometers in width and breadth.
And then it has a wall that's 144 cubits.
Alright, so the bottom line is that heaven is about 5 million square kilometers.
Okay, so...
If you do the math, that's what it says.
If heaven is 5 million square kilometers, how big is that in terms of a country?
Okay, I'm looking that up.
Apparently 5 million square kilometers is larger than India, but smaller than Australia.
Okay, that's interesting.
Larger than Argentina.
Smaller than China. It's about half the size of China.
Smaller than Brazil. And it's about half the size of the United States.
How about that? There we go. The U.S. is almost 10 million square kilometers, so about half the U.S.A., that's the size of heaven.
Okay. Well, I guess you could fit a few souls in there.
Maybe some...
Maybe...
I mean, do souls really need to fit?
They're not physical, you know, anymore.
So I'm not sure that this matters.
But it is interesting that heaven is described in the book of Revelation as about half the size of the United States.
Maybe Texas is heaven.
I don't know. It's a possibility.
All right. Bottom line, folks.
Look. Just as a disclaimer in all of this, I know that there's different ways to interpret, especially Old Testament prophecies.
And a lot of people would say, well, maybe what God was saying about Ezekiel, maybe that already happened.
Yeah, maybe some of it did happen, but maybe the larger version, the final day, is going to happen coming up.
And given that Ezekiel 38 refers to the sixth trumpet, it makes me believe that God was giving Ezekiel clues about the end of days, the final destruction of Israel and his final wrath, his unhappiness with what Israel had become.
But whether you agree or disagree with that, or whether you agree with my comments about modern-day Israel or the Zionist agenda or whatever, The bottom line is, I know we can agree on this, is that it's important to be a good person.
And being a good person does not involve running around killing women and children.
So if you think that that makes you a good person, then you are not walking with Christ.
End of story. If you think that it's self-defense...
To fly fighter jets over a neighboring country and bomb their residential buildings and hospitals, killing their women and children, then you're not a good person and you won't go to heaven.
So you might want to reconfigure on that and repent and ask for forgiveness.
To be a good person means to help defend the innocent and defend the lives of civilians and to value people As equal children of God in the eyes of God.
And if you believe in Zionism, then you do not believe in equal value of human beings because Zionists do not.
They believe they are superior.
And that everybody else is beneath them.
So if you believe in human dignity being equal, human rights being equal, equal representation under the law, you know, the 14th and elements of the 16th Amendments and so on, then you cannot simultaneously believe in Zionism and what Israel is doing today because Israel acts in contradiction to those fundamental concepts of equality,
It really is that simple.
So think about where you are on the spectrum of God's judgment, because God promises you're going to get exactly what you deserve.
If you're a good person, you'll be treated kindly by God.
If you're a bad person, you'll be destroyed.
So give yourself an honest assessment of where you are and work to improve your standing, because we don't know how much time we have remaining.
