Ezekiel's Vision of Great Judgment Coming to Israel

Good afternoon everybody. Today is going to be an exciting lesson on where we are at in Bible prophecy according to Ezekiel. Um there's a this is this is pretty cool because this tells us um that the nation of Israel that they were going to be cast out, how long they were going to be cast out, they're going to be brought back into the land. All these things are happening. We're seeing it unfold right now in Israel. Every time you turn on the news, you see all of this stuff. A lot of a lot of concerning things are that there's there's so many people right now saying that the nation of Israel that's over there right now are not the true Israel. But it is the true Israel. It's just not the saved Israel.

Um, all of those who give their life to Christ and follow Jesus Christ are the true Israel. But the Bible does prophesy about the nation of Israel, all 12 tribes of um of Israel returning back to their land. But there's going to be a lot of judgment come upon them. So there's two different Israels. It's just like there's a spiritual temple. We are the temple of God, but there's going to be a physical temple that's going to be built in Israel. So, a lot of things that we look at. There's a physical side of it and there is a spiritual side of it. We're going to be looking at the physical side of the nation of Israel and what Ezekiel prophesied that was going to happen. A lot of people may not like what I have to say, but remember, it's not me saying it.

I'm just reading it straight from God's word. So, we're going to get started. We're going to go through Ezekiel 36, 37, 38, and 39. I'm just going to go over some highlight things and um sort of fill in some stuff what's happening and we can see exactly we are where we are at on God's timeline. So in Ezekiel 36 it actually says prophesy unto the land. It's to the land of Israel preparing them for the people to come. It's pretty amazing. So let's get started. Ezekiel chapter 36 verse1 also thou son of man he's talking to Ezekiel prophesy unto the mountains of Israel and say ye mountains of Israel hear the word of the Lord prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel and say unto the mountains and unto the hills and to the rivers and to the valleys thus sayith the Lord God behold I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury because ye have borne born the shame of the heathen.

So the land of Israel had to suffer also the land part of it, not the people. The people suffered and the land suffered. But ye, oh mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches and ye and yield your fruit to my people of Israel, for they are at hand to come. So he was prophesying of this before the nation of Israel born reborn in 1948 came back to their land. For behold I am for you. I will turn unto you and ye shall be tilled and sown. Again he's talking to the to the land. And I will multiply men upon you all the house of Israel even all of it. and the cities shall be inhabited and the waste shall be built. We've seen that right now. You can go to all the the modern cities of Israel and see that it it was a wasteland and now it's built just like it was prophesied was going to happen.

I will multiply upon you man and beast and they shall increase and bring forth and I will settle you after your old estate and will do better unto you than at your beginning and ye shall know that I am the Lord. God is doing all of this so that we will know he is God Almighty. Yay, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel, and they shall possess thee, and they shall be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth berieve them of men. So, we're going to skip down to 17. It says, "Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land," now this was before they was cast out. It said they defiled it by their own ways and by their doings. It says, "Wherefore I poured out my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land."

Now the blood was Jesus Christ. They crucified the son of God. There's blood upon the land. They persecuted the prophets. Everybody that God sent to the people to show what God has said. They killed them. They killed the prophets. They killed Jesus. And it says uh and for their idols wherein they had polluted it. So I scattered them among the heathen and they were dispersed through the countries according to their way and according to their doing. I judged them. And when they entered into the heathen where they went, they profained my holy name. when they said unto them, these are the people of the Lord and are gone forth out of his land. But I had pity for my names uh for my holy name which the house of Israel had profained among the heathen whether they went.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus said the Lord God, I do not do this for your sake, oh house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which you have profaneed among the heathen, whether you went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profained among the heathen, which ye have profained in the midst of them. And the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. God's going to sanctify himself through his people right in front of all of us. And we're going to see it. We're seeing it all happening right now. For I will take you from among the heathen and gather you out of all the countries and will bring you into your own land.

This was the land that God promised to the seed of Abraham. um and his descendants. It says, "Then I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean from all your filthiness." Now, this has not happened yet. This will happen after Jesus comes back, stands on the Mount of Olives, they ask him who you are, and they're going to he's going to say, "I am the one you have pierced. These wounds were in the house of my friends." And it's at that time they're going to realize that Jesus is the Messiah. They're going to ask for forgiveness and God will forgive them and heal them. And he says this is what he's going to do. He said when I then I will sprinkle clean water upon you and you shall be clean from all your filthiness and from all your idols will I clean you.

A new heart also will I give unto you, and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away that stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh." Now, that's not happened yet. It's coming. It's coming soon. And I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statue, and ye shall keep my judgments and do them. and ye shall dwell in the land that I have given to your fathers, and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. And it says, "Then shall ye remember your own evil ways and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities, and for your abominations. Not for your sake do I do this, sayeth the Lord God.

Be it known unto you, be ashamed and be confounded for your own ways, oh house of Israel, says, "Thus said the Lord God, in that day I shall have clean you from all your iniquities. I will also cause you to dwell in the cities and the waste shall be built and the desolate land shall be tilled where whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that pass by for years 2,000 years almost. He was even Mark Twain, I think it was Mark Twain that went through there, said this is a just a barren desert land. Who could live here? I mean, and now he's brought it back. He's tilled it. Uh they are a land flowing with milk and honey. They're the biggest exporters of milk and honey in the Middle East. So, I mean, God is fulfilling everything that he has told us right here in this book.

It says, "And they shall say, this land was desolate and has become like the Garden of Eden, and the waste and the desolate, and the ruined cities are become fenced and are inhabited." Do we not see that today? They are fenced and inhabited at this moment. And they're bringing forth. The the cities are rebuilt. Um, all of this stuff is happening right now. And this was prophesied over 2,000 about 2500 years ago from Ezekiel talking about what will happen in the last days. Then the heathen that are left round about shall know that I the Lord built the ruined places and plant that the was desolate. I the Lord spoke it and will do it. Thus sayith the Lord God, I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel to do for them.

I will increase them with men like a flock, as a holy flock, as a flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feast. So shall the waste cities be fulfilled with flock and men, and they shall know that I am the Lord. Well, that's happened right now. We're we're living in this timeline at this moment. It said that the hand of the Lord was upon me and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord. Now, we're going back to the that that before I get into this next chapter, chapter 37. That was speaking to the land of Israel, telling the people or telling the land that the people are going to come back. It's going to be built. They're going to rebuild their cities. All of that stuff happened. Now, he's going to go back and we're going to see how it happened in Ezekiel 37.

So now he's prophesying to the people of Israel. So here we go. Says, "The hand of the Lord was upon me and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones and caused me to pass by them round and about. And behold, there were very many in the open valley. And lo, they were very dry." Now God took Ezekiel from 2500 years ago when they in captive uh in Babylon took him into the future early 1940s and showed them the valley of dry bones during the Holocaust. This holocaust you can see they they gassed them they burned them and the only thing was left was just valleys of dry bones. This is stuff you can look up. You can you can do some investigating and see the valley of dry bones.

And the reason I know it's at this time because when we continue reading, it'll explain it exactly. It says, it says, "And he said unto me, son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "Oh Lord God, thou knowest." And again he said unto me, prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, Oh ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus said the Lord God unto these bones. Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. And I will lay sineu upon you, and and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath into you, and you shall live, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a shaking, and the bones came together, and bone against bone.

And when I beheld, lo, the sinnus, and the flesh come upon them, and the skin covered them above, but there was no breath in them. These people came alive, but the breath of God was not entered into them at this moment. Then say unto me, Then he said unto me, prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, say unto the wind, thus said the Lord God, come from the four winds, oh breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came unto them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet an exceeding great army. Now, at the time, it looked like nation, the nation of Israel was almost defeated and completely wiped away. God said he's going to bring them back and then there will be a an exceeding great army.

Well, they're one of the toughest armies in the world right now. They is exactly what Ezekiel prophesied. They will come back into the land and they will be a great army. And that's what's happening today. Then he said unto me," son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, "Our bones are dry, and our hope is lost. We are cut off from our part." At the time when this was happening and during the Holocaust, it looked like all their hope was completely gone and they was completely lost. It looked like the nation of Israel was fixing to be destroyed. But God already told the people of Israel what was going to happen in the book of Ezekiel before it ever even happened. Before they was cast out of their land the first time.

So no one in the world can tell a nation what they were going to do. They were going to be cast out for what they did and then bring back and then God was going to live with them. Only God Almighty, the the one who knew the beginning from the end, the author and the finisher of all things can tell us these things. This is one of the reasons I know without a doubt God is real. He prophesied. He said, "I give you these things before they happen so that when they happen, you know that I'm faithful and true. Now the just shall live by faith." But God has all of us also gave us the evidence to live by faith. So, you know, these these are things that lost people really need to consider. And saved people really need to understand where we're at in this timeline that God has laid out for us. says, "Therefore, prophesy and say unto them, thus sayith the Lord God, behold, oh my people, I will open your grave and cause you to come out of your graves and bring you into the land of Israel."

Now, this was before 1948 when they became a nation again. God told him he was going to bring them out of the grave and he was going to put them back into their land. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, oh my people, and brought you up out of your graves, and shall put my spirit in you. Now, this part has not happened yet, but God will put a spirit in them, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land. Then shall ye know that I am the Lord, and have spoken it, and performed it, sayeth the Lord. Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick and write upon it for Judah and for the children of Israel and his companions. Then take another stick and write upon it for Joseph and a stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel and his companions.

Now, he's telling us right now when they was cast out, they were the northern kingdom and the southern kingdom. But when he brings them back, it's not going to be two nations no more. It's not going to be the northern and southern. It's going to be one. I said, "And join them one to another into one stick, and ye shall become one in thy hand. And when the children of the of the people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wil thou not show us what this meanth?" So, he's fixing to show us what these means. say unto them, thus said the Lord God, behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephre Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel and his fellows, and will put them in uh with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick.

He's going to make them one nation, and they shall be one in my hand. And that's what happened. And the sticks there were of right shall be in thy hand, therefore in their eyes. and say unto them, thus sayith the Lord God, behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen. Now, this is what he did that the nation of Israel was scattered to all the nations. And it says, uh, where they were begun and will gather them on every side and bring them into their own land. This is exactly what happened. And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountain of Israel. And one king shall be king over all them. and they shall be no more two nations neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms at all anymore.

So that happened. I mean there right now there's not a northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Israel no more. It's just the nation of Israel just as was prophesied. It says now this is still in the future right here. Neither shall they defile themselves anymore with their idols nor their desolate things nor with any of their transgression. But I will save them out of their own dwelling places wherein they have sinned. Now the nation of Israel is a very evil and corrupt nation at this moment. It says and it says I will cleanse him so they shall be my people and I will be their God. So all of this stuff is unfolding right now right before our eyes. Now this right here is where we're at right now.

The war that's happening over in Israel. Um, we're going to look at it in Ezekiel 38. And it says, uh, "And the word of the Lord came upon me, saying, son of man, set thy face against Gog and the land of Mog, and the chief prince of Mach and Tubel, and prophesy against him, and say, Thus said the Lord God, behold, I am against thee, oh Gog, the chief prince of Mach and Tubel, and I will turn thee back and put hooks in thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thy army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them yielding swords. Persia, which is Iran, Ethiopia, Libya, with them, all of them with shields and helmet.

Gomers, which is southern Russia and Germany, and all his bands, and the house of um Tamaga, and the northern quarters, and all his bands, and many people with thee after many days. Now, this is talking about after Israel had been desolate for many days. He said after many days, talking to the nation of Israel, after many days, thou shalt be visited in the latter years. We're in the latter years right now. And thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword and is gathered out of many people against the mountain of Israel. So, he's telling them that he's bringing them to the against the nation of Israel who was scattered into all the world and has brought back. Well, that happened.

After 2,000 years, he brought them back. Um, in Hosea says, um, after two days, he will revive us, and on the third day, he will come and live in our sight. Well, for 2,000 years, they were cast out our land. Bible talks about that, um, do not be ignorant of this one thing, that a day is with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as a day. So, when you look at the Bible timeline and stuff, we know that Israel was not cast out for 48 hours. We know that they was cast out for 2 days and God's timeline, which is 2,000 years, and he brought them back, and he's fixing to be uh the third, thousand year, which will be the millennial reign of Christ, and we will rule and reign with him.

All of this is being set up at this moment. It said um after many days sha they shall be visited and in the latter days they shall come against the land that was brought back from the sword and is gathered out of many people against the mountain of Israel which you have always waste but is brought forth out of the nations and there shall dwell safely all of them. There's coming a time that they're going to dwell safely, but at this moment, they're not quite there yet, but it's fixing to happen. They will be a seven-year covenant was signed with the nation of Israel. That's spoken of in Daniel said he shall concern confirm a covenant with the many for seven years. And in the middle of that seven years, he's going to cause the sacrifice and oblations to cease.

Now, that first part of that 3 and 1/2 years is going to be a time of peace. They're going to dwell safely in the land. And that's what we're going to fix and look at right now. He said, "Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm. Thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land. Thou and all thy bands and many people with thee." So all of this stuff is happening right now. All this war is happening is coming down against Israel. Um it's going to get worse. It talks about during the sixth trumpet era, which is where we're living at. And it's another whole section of of prophecies that we'll get into. But during that sixth trumpet era, it said the nation of Israel will measure the temple and get all that ready.

There's going to be a war that kills the third part of mankind. We know that we're living in the sixth trumpet era right now because during the sixth trumpet era is when God tells the nation of Israel to measure the temple. There'll be two prophets prophesying and um but they're going to live in peace for that first three and a half years. And then it says when they say peace and safety then sudden destruction shall come upon them and they shall not escape. So we're going to continue reading in Ezekiel. Ezekiel tells us the exact same thing. Now there going to be a war which is happening now. There's going to be a covenant sign. There's going to be a seven-year covenant. first year, first three and a half years will be a time of peace.

Uh and then it's going to be great judgment, great judgment upon the nation of Israel for their wickedness and for their idolatry and for their fornication. Just the wickedness that the the house of Israel is living in at this moment, God's going to judge them. That's why God is bringing these people back into their land, not for anything that they've done, but for his holy name's sake. And he's going to judge them, and then he's going to cleanse them. And um the book of Zechariah says only a third part is going to make it through the fire. And then he's going to stand on the Mount of Olives and they're going to realize that they crucify Jesus and ask him for forgiveness and repent. And then that's when God will save them and put a new heart in them.

It says, "Thus sayaith the Lord God, it shall also come to pass at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought." Now, there's going to be a time of peace, and then God's going to bring it to remembrance to these people, and they're going to think of an evil thought. And then, this is what God said, "And thou shalt say, I will go to the land of unwalled villages." So evidently, it's going to be a time of peace. And it looks like Israel is going to think that they have the peace and safety that they need. Evidently, according to this, they're going to tear down their walls. It's going to be a walls of unil uh unwalled villages. It says, "I will go into them that are at rest."

Bible says, "When they finally say peace and safety," then sudden instruction comes upon them. It says, "This is what God's doing. This God put in remembrance of these nations." Says, "I will go to them that are at rest." That's Israel that dwell safely. All of them dwelling without walls and having neither bars nor gates to take a spool and to take a prey to turn thy hand upon the desolate place. And they that are now inhab that now are inhabited and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations. So he gathered them all out of the nations, put them back in the land and the land is inhabited now. God said it's at that time I'm going to bring these nations down against the nation of Israel.

It says, "Which have gotten cattle and goods that dwell in the midst of the land." So then it says, "Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, thus said the Lord Gog, in that day when my people of Israel dwelt safely, thou shalt thou not know it, question mark. And thou shalt come from the place out of the northern part, thou and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses and great companies and and a mighty army. And thou shalt come against my people of Israel, and a cloud to cover the land, and it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, oh Gog, before their eyes. So, we're seeing all of this stuff again happening right now.

It says uh thus said the Lord God, art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants and the prophets of Israel. Now he's already told us that this is the prophecy. God has already told us the things is going to happen. He said um which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them. He's talking at this moment. He's talking about Satan and will be coming against the nation of Israel. And that's also prophesied in the book of Revelation. And it shall come to pass at that same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, said the Lord God, that my fury shall come upon my face. For in my jealousy and in fury of my wrath I have spoken. Surely in that day there shall be a great shakening in the land.

Now this is going to be a God's wrath. So God let Satan bring the wrath upon the nation of Israel. In the in the book of Revelation, it says Satan is cast down having great wrath, persecuted the nation of Israel because he knows he has for sure but a short time. Then God's going to use the nation of Israel to come the nations surrounding Israel to come down against Israel for great judgment. And Satan will be the leader of all them. And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, sayeth the Lord God. Every man's sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with the pestilences and with blood. And I and I will rain upon him and upon his bands and upon many people that are with him and overflowing rain and great hailstone, fire and brimstone.

That will be at God's judgment that comes upon um all of the armies that come down against Israel. Thus will I magnify myself and sanctify myself and I will be known in the eyes of many nations and they shall know that I am the Lord. So when we read in Ezekiel all the things that's happening, God told us these things that was going to happen so that when we see all this stuff happening, we know that God is the one that brought it all together. It wasn't any of the nations here. It's God using the nations to perform what he has written in this word, the things that was going to happen, um the idolatry again, the um all of the judgments and stuff. God's going to judge the nation of Israel, but then he's going to save the nation of Israel.

And it's it's all to show that God is who he said he is. Now, all of those who believe in Jesus Christ, we won't have to go through the great tribulation, which God said starts in the middle of a seven-year covenant says at the abomination of desolation. When you see that, that will be when the great tribulation happens. The church will be raptured up that night. It's another whole story. I I'll get into that, too. But it is prophesied in the book of Luke. It talks about when the son of man is revealed, that's Satan. When Satan is revealed standing in a Jewish rebuilt temple claiming to be the Messiah, Bible says, I tell you that night, one shall be taken and one shall be left. Those one those will be in the field, one shall be taken, one shall be left.

Those will be working, you know, different. It's going to be a time of the rapture. Says, I tell you that night, I believe it'll be the midnight cry, the Jerusalem. There's all kinds of um talking about the u the bride crew, the bridegroom coming at midnight. I believe the bridegroom will come at midnight. The day that we see that abomination of desolation, this world leader standing in a Jewish rebuilt temple claiming to be a messiah. Bible says, I tell you, that night one shall be taken and one shall be left. So, we know that Satan is cast to the earth. He only has three and a half years left here on the earth to do what he's got to do. The church is taken up for the marriage supper of the lamb.

Then we come back with him. Uh Revelation chapter 19, we watch him put the armies of the world down. Uh there'll be a great feast there. The Bible, God says it's his great feast which will be all the men, the mighty men and stuff and all the eagles and the and the and the birds, ravenous birds will come and feast on these lands. And we'll see that right in here in this part. But it all ties together with with uh with Daniel and the book of Revelation. But it's all you got to look at the whole Bible. You can't just look at part of the Bible and come up with a doctrine. All of it has got to flow together. So he puts his pieces in Ezekiel. He puts his pieces in Zechariah and Daniel and Revelation, uh Isaiah, all of these the prophets, all of them point to a a certain time in God's timeline.

And when you read each section and start putting them all together, it lays out a perfect timeline of exactly when all the events are going to happen and when the rapture of the church will happen, when the battle of Armageddon is going to happen. All this stuff is laid out. A lot of people say, "Oh, nobody knows the day of the hour." But God, nobody does know the day or the hour this world leader will stand in a Jewish rebuilt temple claiming to be the Messiah. But the Bible is crystal clear about when we see this event that night, one shall be taken and one shall be left. So there's a lot to just end time prophecies than just saying he can come at any moment and that's it. The Bible is a third part of the Bible is is talking about the second coming.

We need to understand what he's talking about. When Jesus came the first time, he went to the religious leaders and said, you know, these scrolls speak of me and you do not believe. He's like, he he told them, he said, um, that they were going to come one who will come in his own name. Him you shall believe. But God told them that they had the scripture. They knew the first time. Call them a wicked generation. said that they can discern the skies and you know the weather, but they could not discern the signs of the time and called them a wicked generation. We don't want to be that wicked generation that God talks about. God has given us so much more Bible prophecy about the end time days that we should have no excuse.

The only excuse that we have is people's not teaching it and people don't read their Bible and understand what God is saying. Um but all of this is prophesied in his word and we can see it unfolding right now. I'm going to I'm almost finished. We're gonna get to the to what God um the the end of this where God is fixing to come back. It says um it says, "Behold, it has come. It is done, said the Lord God. This is the day whereof I have spoken and that dwelt in the city of Israel shall go forth and shall set on fire and burn the weapons both the shields and the bucklers and the bows and the arrows and the and the hand staves and the spears and they shall burn them with fire seven years. It says, "And thou son of man, thus sayith the Lord God, speak unto the feathered foul."

Now, this is where they're going to eat upon the armies that God comes out against. And to every beast of the field, assemble yourselves and come gather unto gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice. God is going to sacrifice this to all these animals and stuff that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel that you may eat the flesh and drink blood. Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of princes of the earth and of rams and lambs and of goats and bullocks and all of them. Um it said and and ye shall eat the the fat until you be filled and drink the blood till you be drunk of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed unto you. Thus you shall be filled with the table of the horses and the chariots and the mighty men and with all the men of war, say the Lord God.

And I will set my glory among the heathen. And all the heathen shall see my judgment. We're going to see all this stuff that I have executed executed and at my hand that I have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. Now, it's going to be at the battle of Armageddon when God comes back. It's at that day forward. Now, until then, till Jesus comes back, this is a wicked na nation and God's going to bring great judgment upon these people. It says, "And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity because they transgressed against me. Therefore, I hid my face from them and gave them unto the hand of their enemies.

So fell they all by the sword. This is because they did not obey God's word. They did what they wanted to do. They worshiped idols. They fornication. I mean everything that you can think of is evil, they did it. So God brought is going to bring judgment upon them and has brought judgment upon them. And it says uh according to their uncleanliness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them and I hid my face from them. Therefore thus said the Lord God, now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel. God's going to have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, but they're going to go through judgment first. So all this stuff that we're seeing over here, God, the nation of Israel is not innocent and God is fixing to judge him for that.

The nation of Israel is very wicked at this moment. They do not believe Jesus Christ is the son of God. Now, I'm not saying all Israel, Israelis are like that. I'm saying the nation of Israel as a whole, God is bringing them back into their land and great judgment is fixing to come upon them. It says u and I will be jealous for my holy name's sake after that they have borne their shame and their trespasses whereby they have transpassed against me when they dwelt safely in their land and none made them afraid when I have brought them again from the people and gathered them out of their enemy's lands and am sanctified in them in sight of many nations. So, this is coming. All of this is fixing to happen.

They're going to go through a great judgment. There's a third part is only going to live. There's going to be nuclear war. A third part of mankind is fixing to die. There's going to be a covenant sign with the many. There's going to be a time of peace for three and a half years. And then when they say finally, we have peace and safety. It's at that time it's going to be literally hell on earth. It says, "And then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity." God is the one that led them into captivity among the heathen. But I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them anymore. Neither will I hide my face anymore from them. For I have poured out of my spirit upon the house of Israel, said the Lord God.

So, so we're living in a time right now, every bit of what we just read in Ezekiel 36, 37, 38, and 39, that's just highlights. So, I mean, there's so much more to it, but that's just the highlight parts where God before they ever was cast out of the land 2,000 years ago be when they crucified Jesus, when Jesus came to their own and his own said that he said Jesus said, "I came to my own and my own rejected me on my own received me not." They crucified him. They beat him. They they they pierced him. They uh they they put him to death. So for that, God cast them out into all the land for 2,000 years. After the 2,000 years, he brought them back into their land. They built the waste cities. The the land of Israel is producing fruit and such just like the Bible talked about.

A war happens. There's going to be a a covenant signed with the many. There's going to be a three and a half year time of peace. It looks like there's no more wars. There's no more bombs. Everything is doing good. They're rebuilt their third temple. We will see this before the church or whoever is alive or shall see this. Now, when I say that the the rapture is going to happen at a certain time, it will because it's prophesied it'll happen at a certain time. But we as individuals, we always need to be ready to meet our Lord and Savior at any moment because we're not guaranteed tomorrow. We could die today. We can die in our sleep. There's so many things that can happen to us. We can have a car wreck and die instantly.

We always need to be ready to meet our Lord and Savior in the air. But it's concerning the the rapture and the battle of Armageddon and all all the things that has to do with end time prophecy. It is foretold in his word that we will see this. Now in 2 Thessalonians he says, "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together into him, that you be not soon shaken in mind or troubled that spiritth from us or his letter, that the day of Christ is at hand." Says, "Let no man deceive you by any means. For that day will not happen until they come a fallen away first and a man of sand be revealed the son of predition who exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so that he as God sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God.

It said remember I told you these things my word shall not pass away. So everything is written in his word is going to happen. The Bible talks about check this out the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. That's what all the preachers talk about and preach. And that's right. But if you continue reading, it says, "He comes as a thief in the night when they say peace and safety. Then sudden destruction comes upon them and they shall not escape." That's a time of great tribulation. We just read about in Ezekiel. It lays out all the timeline of how God's going to judge the nation of Israel. They're going to be cast out of the land for 2,000 years. After 2,000 years, he's going to bring them back to the land.

And then uh the great judgment will come upon them. And then God's judgment will come upon all of the people who come down against Israel. The very first judge judgment of God is the viles. It says the very first judgment is for upon all of those who have taken the mark of the beast. There'll be a great northome sword that comes upon all of them. Um so Satan a lot of a lot of people said that the book of Revelation is uh God's wrath. It is not God's wrath. A certain portion, the vials are filled with God's wrath. The rest of it is telling us what we're going to do to ourselves. Uh the prophesied, the Bible says, "Blessed are those who read and hear the prophecies of this book." So, it's not a book of judgment.

It's a book of prophecies. God's judgment is in those prophecies. But the four horsemen are already riding. There's going to be um we're in the sixth trumpet right now. Read what happens in the sixth trumpet. And then read what happens in the seventh trumpet. In the seventh trumpet, it says um woe unto the habiters of the earth and the sea, for the devil's come down to you having great wrath because he knows he has but a short time. But rejoice in heaven for your salvation has now come. In the book of Daniel, it talks about um the nations that'll be upon the earth when Jesus returned. and and uh and then in and in in Ezekiel or in d Revelation chapter 13, it tells us all these are in a combined nation.

The exact same animal symbols that are in Daniel chapter 7 are in Revelation chapter 13. They're all in a combined symbol except the eagle's wings. It says, "I give two great wings of an eagle to take care of Israel from the face of the serpent for time, time, and divide and time." the nation of Israel and the United States are going to be fighting against the whole world here real long real soon. We can see all this stuff happening right now. I mean, so you can't dismiss all of the things that are happening in the world. It's all prophesied. If we could see, if we had discernment to see, we need to pray that God gives us discernment to see the things that's happening in the world. Because we are living in a time where they will be a third part of mankind die.

And literally at any moment, we have just went to Defcon 3 in a nuclear United States and Russia. Germany is fixing to be in war with Russia and so we're living in a time that at any moment there's going to be a nuclear war. Only a third part of mankind is going to make it through it. There will be a covenant signed. There will be peace on earth for three and a half years. It's going to look like finally everything is done. But meantime, there's so much more that's going to happen. I will get into some more of that. And each one of these will have overlapping um events that'll happen in them because in the Bible, they sort of all overlap, but they all point to the same timeline that we're living in today.

I just ask God for help and guidance. Look, I I tell you, the last thing I want to do is waste your time or my time. And I do not believe I'm wasting my time. This is what God has called me to do is to warn people that his coming is near and to show the prophecies of the Bible, the things that we're going to see. So, I'm just going to lay out a real quick timeline of things that we're going to see right before before the rapture of the church. And it ain't me saying it. It's nothing that I've done. is what God has revealed to me in his word. We will see a war that's going to kill the third part of mankind. I believe it'll be a nuclear war. It's going to kill a third part of mankind. We're going to see a seven-year covenant signed with the many.

The first part of that seven years will be a time of peace. We're going to see the two prophets prophesying in Israel for three and a half years. We're going to see the temple rebuilt. We're going to see the animal sacrifices presumed. We're going to see the two prophets be killed in Jerusalem. We're going to see their dead bodies lay in the street for three and a half days. And then the spirit of God is going to enter into them. They're going to stand upon their feet. They're going to ascend into heaven. That happens during the sixth trumpet era. And then the Bible says, "Behold, the seventh trumpet, the seventh woe comes quickly." After that, right after that, we will be taken out of this um life right before the great tribulation.

So, there is a great tribulation coming. It is not a seven-year tribulation period. The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy, when thou art in tribulation, even in the latter days, just remember I'm with you. So we're it's going to be an actually a time of peace cuz if it's not tribulation if they finally say we finally have peace and safety. So that's an oxymoron. They can't have tribulation and peace and safety. It's going to they're going to have a time of three and a half years of peace. They're going to say finally we have this peace and safety. Bible says when they say that sudden destruction is going to come upon them and they will not escape but we will escape. We're going to go to heaven. We're going to go to the marriage supper of the lamb.

Satan has his wrath on the earth. We come back with Jesus. Revelation chapter 19. We watch him put down the armies of this world with just the spirit, the word of his mouth, all of these birds and beasts are going to come and eat up all of the flesh and everything that's left. It's it's a time that we won't don't want to be in. We do not want to go through God's wrath here on the earth. Um, and there's so many other Bible prophecies that point to the exact same time that we're living in. Jesus told his disciples. Um, u learn the parable. He says, "Behold, learn the parable of the fig tree. When you see it, branches yet tender, put forth leaves. You know summer's near. Likewise, when you see all these things happening, know it's near.

Even at the door, I tell you, this generation shall not pass till all the all these things be fulfilled." And in the book of Luke, it says, "When you see all the armies compassed around Jerusalem, you know that the nation Desolation is near. All of this stuff is happening in our lifetime. We are the generation that's seeing it. We are the generation that has the technology to see the two prophets prophesying in the nation of Israel. We are the generation to have the technology to make every person receive a mark in their hand or in their forehead or they won't be able to buy or sell except the people who have the mark. Elon Musk has got the Neurolink system that puts in your head. They've got a machine now that'll robotically put that chip in your mind, in your head.

We don't want to partake in any of that. You do not want to be part machine and part human. God said any person who receives the mark or in their hand or in her forehead will partake in God's wrath. You do not want to partake in God's wrath. We want to be saved by the grace of God by faith. We want to go to heaven. every person. God said he is not willing that any should perish but all come to repentance. This all of this stuff is happening is because we either choose to accept his free gift of salvation or we say no God I don't want no part of it. When you say that if you say I don't want no part of it, he will he will accept what you want and you will have to be judged for your own sins. Right now Jesus Christ took the penalty of sin upon all of that we all deserve and took it upon himself that whosoever shall believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

Salvation is easy. God said, "All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." We must admit that we are all sinners and need of a savior. We need to acknowledge Jesus Christ is the only way. Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man gets to the father except through me." Jesus said, "I'm the door. I'm the great shepherd." He is the the name of Jesus is the only name which man can be saved by. We need to accept Jesus as God, as Lord, as our savior. He's not one of these Jesuses that a lot of these other um religious denominations, whatever you want to call it. There's a lot of people believe in Jesus, but it's not. Jesus is God. Jesus is God. In the book of John, John says, "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God."

And then a few verses later and said, "And the word became flesh and dwelt among us." That's God Almighty. That's Jesus is God. Jesus is the one which we shall be saved by. I love all of y'all. Um I'll come to you again with another video soon. Um, I'm sorry. In between there's there's, you know, quite a few weeks. There's just so much information. I don't even know how to compact it all into a small sermon. Um, but I do know it's real. I know it's here. I know we're living in it. God bless y'all. Have a great and wonderful day. And um, if you have any comments or would you got any questions, feel free to ask. If I don't know the answer, we will go through his word and and ask. I do not know it all.

I just know what God has revealed to me. God bless you. I love y'all. Have a great night.
