Today, we’re going to cover Gog and Magog which is, to most people, Ezekiel 38 & 39. But you need to understand, it goes a lot deeper than that, and there’s many other scriptures that deal with this, okay? Zechariah 12 is not Gog and Magog. In Zechariah 12, all that we see here is Judah and Jerusalem. In Ezekiel 39, we see all of Israel. I’ll show you.
Ezekiel 39:7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; …
Israel this is not just in Jerusalem. It’s Israel. So, it’s all 12 tribes or at least the 10 tribes, which are not present in Zechariah 12. So, if you don’t understand how to interpret scripture this way, particularly prophecy, you’re going to be as screwed up as the churches. I am trying to show you how to be a good Bible lawyer. I mean arguing the scriptures.
Ezekiel 39:7 … and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: …
And so, they’re not going into sin anymore. And the heathen, the “goyim” – that word means heathen. It could never mean non-Jewish believers. That’s a oxymoron in reality. It could mean non-Jewish people that think they are believers, but are really worshiping a false Jesus, with a false gospel, and receiving it of the unclean spirits. It would fit that perfectly.
Ezekiel 39:7 … and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD [Yehovah], the Holy One in Israel.
So until then they knew notveho Yeshua was. And that’s at the end of it, okay? So, they have to be back, okay?
Now, this is where the church messes with the people. They are feeding a bad doctrine, and they eliminate Ezekiel chapters 8-11 as if it doesn’t exist. They don’t mention Zechariah 14, which is the same events as Ezekiel 38 & 39, and they don’t tie the Book of Joel to these events in Ezekiel 38 & 39. So, they only give the people a very small glimmer of a look at it, and then they confuse the people with their false doctrines. Now, they do this on purpose.
“By their fruit you shall know them.”
Matthew 7:16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Good fruit never comes from a bad tree. A bad tree only gives you bad fruit only, and all you get from them is bad fruit.
Matthew 7:17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Matthew 7:18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neithercana corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
You should see as a Bible lawyer Yeshua spoke in terms of absokuted. Zero good fruit comes from a bad tree. Zero bad fruit comes from a good tree. Thinknyhecannointing.
Ezekiel 38:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
This is Ezekiel 38. It’s the word of the LORD. Now understand the word of the LORD is not a misinterpretation of a dream or a vision, not that the prophets ever do that. The church people say they do, but they don’t. This is not a misinterpretation, okay? So, understand this. This is the word of the LORD which is without error. Yeshua’s the word made flesh. So, don’t start telling me when I start showing you stuff that that’s not really what it is. That would be operating as a bad Bible lawyer.
Ezekiel 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
Now, the Russian Federation is going to not be around as a political entity soon due to Ukraine Russia war in my opinion. The land of Russia will remain. But the problem with Russia is the Jews were exiled there, and if you read Jeremiah 30:11, it says (this scripture is associated with the birth pains) that God will annihilate all the nations – all the heathen nations – that he dispersed the Jews into, and Russia’s one of those nations. So, do understand Russia is not going to be around. Now, the geography may survive and some of those people. So, when you read about Gog and Magog, don’t start taking it literally as the present day Russian Federation, be careful with that, okay? Gog and Magog in Revelation 20 are attacking again. It’s not the same nation with the same flag and political system. So be a good Bibke lawyer. Examine all the scriptures as facts in a trial.
Ezekiel 38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah]; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Ezekeil 38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, …
That would mean hunger, famine, okay?
Ezekiel 38:4 … and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, …
And it doesn’t say armor.
Ezekiel 38:4 … even a great company with bucklers [those are little shields] and shields [those are big shield that could be 5′ high], all of them handling swords:
Now, understand that, if you’re going to tell me these are Humvees, tanks, mortars, artillery pieces, jet planes, aircraft carriers, battleships, you’re off the facts. You’re in Gaga land, okay?This is the word of the Lord. When you say that, you’re saying the word of the Lord is wrong, vague, stupid, and you’re mocking God. Yes, you are. This is what it is. Because you haven’t figured out that they already beat their swords into plowshares, because you don’t know the scriptures, because you don’t spend time in the Old Testament. Don’t go around and act like you know God’s word says things that are not correct and accurate. This is the word of the Lord. It’s not a dream or a vision, okay? Be careful. So, they’re handling swords, Roman era weapons.
Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; …
Now, it talks about Persia. Now, Persia is not Iran. Persia would mean the Persian Empire. It may not be Iran, okay? Ethiopia, that’s part of Greater Israel. Libya is not part of Greater Israel.
Ezekiel 38:5 … with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
So, they’re running around with Roman era weapons.
Ezekiel 38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, …
It means it’s north of Israel.
Ezekiel 38:6 … and all his bands: and many people with thee.
So, there’s many other people there.
Ezekiel 38:7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
Ezekiel 38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years …
We’re in the latter years.
Ezekiel 38:8 … thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, …
Now, is Israel brought back from the sword? You’re very wrong if you tell me they are now, May 2023. I just got finished talking about whether or not all the surrounding Arab states attack us, covering the tanks and attacking us, okay? So, DO understand this, if you can understand anything about your Bible. The time for this is not right now, and any moran jackass, with a big building, calling himself a preacher, that tells you this, is blind. And if you follow him, you’ll fall in the ditch, too.
Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
But not the ditch – the pit. The word is the pit. The pit’s where you go and wait for judgment. Then, you go to the lake of fire, because that’s clinging to false gospels, okay?
So, get this down, okay? You’re not headed into Gog and Magog now, May 2023. The ten tribes aren’t back yet. We’re not living the way we’re supposed to be, and if you want to kick against this, you’re not in the gospel. If you want to understand the gospel, Zechariah 12 is what’s coming on us, and Jeremiah 30. Not this St this time. Zech 12 and Jer 30 happen first. And the tribulation happens after Gog and Magog, and it doesn’t happen to Israel.
The church liars are lying to you. Yeshua says all that the father gave him he’s going to raise up on the last day.
John 6:39And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
That’s after the millennium. One day. Everybody goes up in that one day. He says in John 6:39, 40, 44, and 54.
John 6:39See above.
John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:44No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
He says it four times. And some jackass pastor with a building tells you there’s going to be a left behind rapture, and you believe him? Shame on you. Do you want to go to the lake of fire? What’s wrong with you? Are you afraid to believe your Bible? Are you afraid that the church is going to reject you? The church is a bunch of rejects. They have have another gospel. They have another Jesus.
2 Cor.11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
God’s name could never be Jesus. There’s no “J” in the Hebrew. And the names in Hebrew mean something. God’s name could never be Jehovah. It’s Yehovah, YHVH. It is transliterated as Yehovah. In Hebrew names mean something. Yahweh doesn’t mean anything, neither does Jehovah or Jesus mean anything.
Good fruit doesn’t come from a bad tree. Go ye forth into all the world, take money from people who are pressing to get into the kingdom of God, and buy a big stupid building with it, that nobody benefits from. Now, if you think that’s the gospel, go to those churches, but you’re in another gospel, okay?
Ezekiel 38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
Ezekiel 38:7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
Ezekiel 38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, …
Which is not yet.
Ezekiel 38:8 … and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, …
Only a small amount of the Jews is here now.
Ezekiel 38:8 … which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
We’re not dwelling safely now.
Ezekiel 38:9 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.
Ezekiel 38:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah]; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
Ezekiel 38:11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; …
We are not living with unwalled villages. We got walls all over the place.
Ezekiel 38:11 … I will go to them that are at rest, …
We are not at rest. We’re protesting. We’re afraid of being attacked. Military reserves are being called up. We’re being attacked. We take missiles and rockets. Come on.
Ezekiel 38:11 … that dwell safely, all of them …
We don’t dwell safely now. We haven’t ever.
Ezekiel 38:11 … dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
Never happened yet.
Ezekiel 38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, …
Not yet.
Ezekiel 38:12 … and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, …
Cattle and goods? 28% of us here in Israel live at the poverty line. 25% of the parents send their kids to school without lunches, because they can’t afford it. Not now.
Ezekiel 38:12 … gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
It’s not for now.
Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? …
They’re not going to take a spoil out of Israel. There’s not much to take now. Yes some rich people but extremely small amount of the population.
Ezekiel 38:13 … hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, …
Are you kidding? Israel today? Silver and gold? What are they talking about?
Ezekiel 38:13 … to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
Out of Israel today?
Ezekiel 38:14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
It’s not now. It’s coming in the future. Anybody that’s been teaching you it’s coming any day, you’re in trouble if you keep sitting under them. Even if your mother, your father, your kids, your spouse, get mad at you for leaving that church, you’re in trouble if you don’t, because you’re following somebody that’s going to take you to the pit. If you’re going to tell me the pastor’s making an honest innocent mistake, they don’t deserve to be a pastor. But if they’re a pastor, they’re wicked as the day is long, and they know they’re leading you astray. That may not sit well with some of you. Tough. That’s the truth. Please do not follow a false gospel. Apostle Paul said those with a false gospel are cursed. The word he used was anathema.
Ezekiel 38:15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
They’re coming on horses, okay? Now, you’re gonna tell me, “Oh, you know, it’s not really a horse.” The word is “sus.” It means horse.
Ezekiel 38:16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, …
That’s now.
Ezekiel 38:16 … and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
Ezekiel 38:17 Thus saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah]; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
Ezekiel 38:18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah], that my fury shall come up in my face.
Ezekiel 38:19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Eze 38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
This is the Great Day of the LORD. This is when the mountains come down and the valleys are raised up. This is the new Heaven and the new Earth as I will show you.
Ezekiel 38:21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah]: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
He has some turn against each other and kill each other with the sword.
Ezekiel 38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Ezekiel 38:23 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 [Yehovah].
He really gets them. Hailstones, overflowing rain, pestilence, blood. They kill each other. My gosh.
Next chapter. Ezekiel 39.
Ezekiel 39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah]; …
He always has his prophet say a something before he does it. He won’t do anything unless his prophets say it first. I expect this applies to only most significant events.
Ezekiel 39:1 … Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Ezekiel 39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, …
Ezekiel 39:1 … Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
So, from those countries that attack, he just leaves one-sixth of them alive at home. The five-sixths of them are cut off, dead.
Ezekiel 39:2 … and will cause thee to come …
Now, this ⅙ left is in the King James translation, the 1611 KJV translation, the Geneva 1599 translation. It’s not in the modern translations, okay? Hold on a minute. The Hebrew word for sixth part is “shasha” which can mean the sixth part. So, it’s in there, but they don’t translate it right in the English versions, but I checked it in the Hebrew, and it looks pretty good to me.
Ezekiel 39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
Ezekiel 39:3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
Ezekiel 39:4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
Ezekiel 39:5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD [Yehovah].
Ezekiel 39:7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; …
See, he’s breaking his cover completely now, okay? So people will now know that there really is a Yahovah and he is mad.
Ezekiel 39:7 … and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD [Yehovah], the Holy One in Israel.
Ezekiel 39:8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah]; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
This is the Great Day of the LORD.
Ezekiel 39:9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
Now, if you’re gonna tell me that these are F-16s, and tanks, and Humvees, and mortars, and artillery, and they’re burning them, I’m going to tell you, you got to go to a mental institution, okay? These are Roman era weapons. This is the word of the LORD. It’s without error. Please believe the word of God is true and will always come to pass.
And they use these weapons for firewood for seven years. They don’t have to take wood out of the forest. Common sense should tell you that these people after the battle is over Are not taking wings from F-16s back to the house to put them in the fireplace.
And what are these weapons? The bucklers and the shields are things they hold. They are made out of wood, apparently, right? Spears and staves. A spear is a stave with a big arrowhead thing on it to stab people. And now they’re burning all these. That’s how big the attack will be, that they will use these weapons for firewood for seven years. These things are made of wood that is why they are put in the fireplace or perhaps used to cook with.
Ezekiel 39:10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the
forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah].
Ezekiel 39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
Ezekiel 39:12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
Now, do you think New Jerusalem is going to come over the land when it’s full of dead bodies and carcasses and false churches and false shrines and false temples? No, of course not.
Ezekiel 39:13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah.
Ezekiel 39:14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
Ezekiel 39:15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
Why don’t they bury it? Because they would be unclean. Because the law is in effect. So, that’s why they set up a sign by itself. The burying workers are unclean because this is what they’re doing all the time, so they bury them, okay? The people do not want to be unclean from touching the dead bodiesso that is why they place a marker to point the burying workers to the dead bodies or it says their bones, same thing basically. So you can see here The law is not dead.
Ezekiel 39:16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
Ezekiel 39:17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah]; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice …
This is Yehovah’s sacrifice.
Ezekiel 39:17 … that I do sacrifice for you,
For the birds and the beasts.
Ezekiel 39:17 … even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
So, this is a blood sacrifice. This is when God enters into the New Covenant with the animals, where the lion eats straw, the baby plays with the poisonous snake by a hole, the bears and the cows play together, and all this stuff. This is a new covenant, and they’re going to serve humans again. They’ll minister of humans again. And the animals may talk like they used to.
Ezekiel 39:18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
Ezekiel 39:19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
He’s telling this to the animals.
Ezekiel 39:20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah].
Ezekiel 39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
Ezekiel 39:22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD [Yehovah] their God from that day and forward.
This is when the house of Israel knows Yehovah’s their God. This is Jeremiah 31:31 where they shall all know him from the least to the greatest, and they don’t go around saying, “Know the Lord,” and they have in their hearts a new heart of flesh, and he puts his law in their heart and minds. This is when this happens.
Ezekiel 39:23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity [lawlessness]: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
This is Hosea 6:1-2. They went into 2000 years of exile and punishment, basically.
Ezekiel 39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
Ezekiel 39:25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah]; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob [Yaakov], and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
Ezekiel 39:26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
That’s not the case yet.
Ezekiel 39:27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
Ezekiel 39:28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD [Yehovah] their God [Elohim], which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Ezekiel 39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah].
Poured everything out on them, okay, including his Holy Spirit.
Let’s read Jeremiah 31.
Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD [Yehovah], that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jeremiah 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; …
So, he’s telling them about a new covenant, okay? The word is “chadash” which means new, and “beriyth” which means Covenant. “Chadash Beriyth” with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. That’s all 12 tribes.
Jeremiah 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD [Yehovah]:
So, he didn’t do anything wrong. It was them.
Jeremiah 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD [Yehovah], I will put my law [my Torah] in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD [Yehovah]: for they shall all know me, …
We read that in Ezekiel 39.
Jeremiah 31:34 … from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD [Yehovah]: for I will forgive their iniquity [lawlessness], and I will remember their sin no more.
Jeremiah 31:35 Thus saith the LORD [Yehovah], which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD [Yehovah] of hosts is his name:
Jeremiah 31:36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
Jeremiah 31:37 Thus saith the LORD [Yehovah]; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD [Yehovah].
Jeremiah 31:38 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD [Yehovah], that the city shall be built to the LORD [Yehovah] from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner.
Jeremiah 31:39 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
Jeremiah 31:40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes,
That’s where the dead bodies from the offerings that they burn.
Jeremiah 31:40 … and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD [Yehovah]; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
You’re getting the idea about this, but this is what you’re not getting. This happens before the church’s beloved tribulation that they’ve concocted to be on Israel (which it’s not; it’s on the nations, but they prefer to treat it as if it’s on Israel). It’s impossible for it to be on Israel if he pours his spirit out on them, and they all know him, and they have his law written in their hearts. How would it happen? It’s impossible. It’s just church garbage. It’s just church junk. That’s all it is. It’s church lies. And that’s what the churches do. They lie. And that’s what Satan does, and that’s what’s going on.
Okay, I’m not covering the tribulation yet, but I’m getting the stage set so you can start understanding that the tribulation is not going to happen to Israel, okay? The Gog and Magog, which is the Great Day of the LORD, does happen to Israel.
Do you have a scripture that says Gog and Magog is the modern day Russia or the Russian Federation, or the USSR? Of course you don’t. There is no such scripture. They say Rosh means Russia. Come on. Stop listening to the church, guys they make merchandise out of you and sell you books, CD’s, Tickets to Prophecy Conferences, etc.
2 Peter 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Freely you have received, freely you shall give.
Matthew 10:8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
You don’t sell books. You don’t sell tickets to go to prophecy conferences. That’s not the gospel. That’s Satan’s gospel. You want to follow Satan’s gospel? Go ahead. I hope you don’t, but it’s not going to affect us, but it would be a bad idea.
So now, let’s go to Ezekiel. I’m not going to cover every single verse, but we’re going to go through Ezekiel chapters 8 to 11. Okay, but like I say, we’ll be here a long time if we cover every single verse, alright? So, we’re gonna jump into verse 3.
Ezekiel 8:3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate …
Visions. So, now you have visions, okay? And what do we see here?
Ezekiel 8:3 … and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem [Yerushalayim], to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
So, what happened? There’s an image which provoketh to jealousy. This is in the Hebrew. The abomination of desolation is the same event. That’s what you’re reading from the Greek. It’s an abomination, an image, and it causes the desolation in that, the glory of God of Israel leaves the next temple.
Now, some of you that have been following the church preachers are so far from reality that you don’t even believe there’s going to be a next temple, okay? That’s how bad it is, you know? But why would Ezekiel chapters 40 to 48 talk about a temple if it’s not going to happen? Why would Ezekiel 37, the last three verses, talk of the temple, and why would Ezekiel chapters 8-11 talk of a temple if it wasn’t going to be a temple? It’s because the church has another gospel.
2 Corinthians 11:4. That’s why.
2 Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
That’s why and that’s Satan’s gospel. Yes, Satan runs the churches. In Galatians 5:19-21, in your own Bible, it says the people that do variance, and the people that do seditions, which is divisions will not inherit the kingdom of God. It says it in your Bible. Yes, it does, and you ignore it, and you go to these churches anyway, even though it says when you do it, you’re not going to enter the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Galatians 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Galatians 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Why are they bad? Variance? They have different doctrinal statements, all of which, according to them, can be correct. So, they got pre-trip, mid-trib, post-trip, left behind raptures, the law is dead. Yeshua said no. He said none of this.
This is what Yeshua said.
Matthew 5:17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Matthew 5:18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
And then he said this.
Matthew 5:19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teachthem,the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
What about the ones that eliminate all hundreds and hundreds of them?
You see? The law is not done away with. If you think it is, and you say it is, because you don’t understand, now you’re calling Yeshua a liar, and you know more than him, and that’s basically blasphemy. And you know God says if you reject knowledge, I will reject you.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee …
In the old King James, the word is seditions. It’s the same as divisions. A denomination is not a 99% division. It’s a 100% division. It’s a perfect division. It’s a 100% match. If you go to these places, you’re not going to enter the kingdom of God.
Do you want to defy it? Go ahead. How many people made it out of the flood? Eight. Is he the same, yesterday, today, and forever? Yep. Don’t be sitting there saying, “We’re not perfect; why should the church be perfect?” Yeshua says he’s coming back for a church without spot, wrinkle, and blemish. If you don’t understand that these pastors and these churches are working for the enemy, the devil, and lying to you, you’re going to wind up in the pit. That’s it, okay? Alright.
Eze 8:3 … and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
This is what’s going on. There’s an inner courtyard which has the altar in the entrance to the actual temple. The temple has an east, west, north, and south side. On the north side, there’s a gate on the north side that takes you from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, okay? That’s where this image that provokes the jealousy is set up, at this gate. It’s not in the holiest the holies, contrary to what the church wolves in sheep‘s clothing teach, okay? It’s not in there.
Now, those of you that are probably confused by this now, and think I’m deceiving you, let me show you some scriptures.And I want to show you how wrong the church is. Revelation 13. John is speaking.
Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, …
So, he’s by the beach.
Revelation 13:1 … and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,
Now, the church confuses people. They calls him the Beast. They call him the antichrist. This is the beast with the false prophet and the talking statue. This is the dude here.
Revelation 13:1 … rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
This is the one the whore is riding on in Revelation 17.
Revelation 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon [Satan] gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Satan gives him his power and his seat. Now, if you think this happens in Jerusalem, Satan’s seat should be in Jerusalem. But the Bible tells us differently, and I’ll show you where it is. It’s in Revelation 2.
Revelation 2:12And to the angel of the church in Pergamos …
Pergamos is the city by the beach, by the coast, in Cyprus. Cyprus is not in Israel. Never was in Israel. Never will be in Greater Israel. The border always stops at the Mediterranean. To go from Israel to Cyprus today, you have to take an overnight ferry boat ride. It’s a long distance, okay?
Revelation 2:12 … Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
This is what Yeshua was saying.
Revelation 2:13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest,evenwhere Satan’s seatis: …
That’s in Pergamos, not in Jerusalem.
Revelation 2:13 … evenwhere Satan’s seatis:and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipaswasmy faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
So, the Bible tells you Satan’s seat is in Pergamos, and he dwells there. That’s where the Beast goes so Satan can give him his seat and his power. Now, if you want to follow other doctrines, bear in mind. Paul says you’ll be anathema – cursed – and the further explanation is, you rejected knowledge, I will reject you. So, you guys could run around with your Scofield and study Bibles, and all this other garbage, and listen to Pastor Margaret or Pastor Bob, you know feed you a line of nonsense that you can’t substantiate with the scriptures, that goes against the scriptures, that goes against the words of Yeshua, and go dream on. And then, when you’re in the pit, remember. I told you so. And that can come up against you at the judgment. And that’s your problem, not mine, because it’s right here in front of you. You can follow the truth. Strait and narrow is the way, and few be to find it. Broad and narrow is the road to destruction.
Matthew 7:13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wideisthe gate, and broadisthe way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Matthew 7:14Because straitisthe gate, and narrowisthe way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
If you want the road to destruction, go for it, okay? I prefer you don’t, but, you know, you’re going to do what you’re going to do. I’m not in control of any of you.
So, back in Ezekiel 8.
Yesterday, I thought I did a really good Bible study. I don’t think I got a single offering from that. See, people don’t appreciate that, you know? If I tickled their ears, and showed them why there really is going to be a pre-trib left behind rapture (which there isn’t, and I’d be a lying sicko if I did it), they would pour in the offerings. People want to be deluded, you know.
So, in the inner gate that look us towards the north, there’s a gate connecting the inner and outer courtyards from the North. At that gate is the seat of the image of jealousy which provoketh to jealousy. This is an image. It’s not a living entity.
The beast sits in his own temple which is in Pergamos. I do not believe Pergamos is Mystery Babylon the Great. That would be Washington DC. That’s something different, by the way.
Ezekiel 8:4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
Now, this is the angel that God put his name in. It’s in Exodus 23. His name is Yehovah. He would receive the offerings for Yehovah, and operate as Yehovah with Moses and Aaron, the tabernacle, and children of Israel in the desert, and so forth.
Exo.23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Exo 23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
Exo 23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
Exo 23:23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
Ezekiel 8:4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
He’s in the next temple. He went in Solomon’s temple briefly to anointed it and left. He never even went into Zerubbabel’s temple or Herod’s temple, but he’ll reside in the next temple.
Ezekiel 8:5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. …
So, we need to talk about the temple. Ezekiel 37.
Ezekiel 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; …
The word for peace is “shalom,” and Yeshua was the peace offering. I know the church teaches he was the sin offering. They teach that. But the sin offering is a bullock, like a longhorn steer or something like that. He was the lamb, the peace offering.
Ezekiel 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; …
He’s mentioning about the veil coming off and them turning to Yeshua and thus attaining peace with YHVH through Yeshua the peace offering Lamb of God.
Ezekiel 37:26 … it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: …
That’s Jeremiah 31:31-34. They don’t fall away.
Ezekiel 37:26 … and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Now, the word place is Strong’s 5414, and then, a few words later the word set is also Strong’s 5414. So, let’s just use place where it says set.
Ezekiel 37:26 … and will set [place] my sanctuary [temple] in the midst of them for evermore.
God puts the next temple there.
Let’s keep reading. It comes from Heaven. This is the house made without hands that he’ll dwell in, referencing the glory of God of Israel, the “kabod” dwelling there.
Ezekiel 37:27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: …
Yes, we have the Tabernacle that Jeremiah hid in Mount Nebo, okay.
Ezekiel 37:27 … yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Ezekiel 37:28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD [Yehovah] do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Why would the people know that God sanctified Israel if a bunch of goofy rabbis built another temple with John Deere equipment and plywood? They wouldn’t. But if it came down from heaven, they would. I rest my case.
Back to Ezekiel 8.
I hope you’re realizing that the churches have been preaching another gospel to you.
Ezekiel 8:5 … lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
Ezekiel 8:6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
Now, it’s the house of Israel so all the tribes are back in the land. This is their testing. The people in Judah and Jerusalem get tested today, this day, these times. After Zechariah 12, when we get Greater Israel back, and everyone comes in the Greater Exodus, then the people that are coming in get tested, and many will fall away, and this is their falling away. And then, after they’re tested, it’s over. Israel is never tested again. To the Jew first, and then the Gentile.
Romans 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
The tribulation included, and it goes to the Gentiles. But the church refuses to believe that. To the pit with them is what I say, because they’re preaching another gospel, and that’s what’s going to happen to them.
They want the glory of God to go off from this temple so the nations could attack them, because they can’t attack the glory of God of Israel, so they gotta try to get him to leave.
Ezekiel 8:7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
Ezekiel 8:8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall:
Ezekiel 8:6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off …
Okay, then he says …
Ezekiel 8:7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
Ezekiel 8:8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
Ezekiel 8:9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
Ezekiel 8:10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
Ezekiel 8:11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients [the elders] of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, …
We never read anything else about this dude except here. We don’t really know who he is.
Ezekiel 8:11 … with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
Ezekiel 8:12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
So, they are blaspheming the LORD.
Ezekiel 8:13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Ezekiel 8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Tammuz is the sun god. If you were going to worship the sun god, you would worship him on Sun Day, wouldn’t you? I rest my case about the church.
Ezekiel 8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Ezekiel 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
Ezekiel 8:17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
Ezekiel 8:18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
They are going to get punished. They’re doing this to the temple that came down from heaven, and that’s not New Jerusalem. New Jerusalem is separate. I know the difference, okay? It’s not the same thing, alright?
Ezekiel 9.
Ezekiel 9:1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Ezekiel 9:2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
Ezekiel 9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side;
So, the glory of God of Israel was beginning to leave the temple.
Ezekiel 9:4 And the LORD said unto him [with the inkhorn], Go through the midst of the city [that’s Jerusalem], through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
So, there’s a mark placed on their foreheads. Perhaps you’ve read about things like this in the Book of Revelation.
Ezekiel 9:5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Ezekiel 9:6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men [the elders] which were before the house.
Ezekiel 9:7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
Ezekiel 9:8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Ezekiel 9:9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity [lawlessness] of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, …
See, this is when all the tribes are back in Israel, all 12 tribes. You’ve got to learn to look at it that way.
Ezekiel 9:9 … and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD [Yehovah] hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD [Yehovah] seeth not.
Ezekiel 9:10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
Ezekiel 9:11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
He commanded the angel. This is Michael, the glory of God of Israel.
Now, you’re in Ezekiel 10, and basically, we see the glory of God of Israel with the cherubim and his throne leaving the house.
Ezekiel 10:4 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’S glory.
And then in verse 6, he says …
Ezekiel 10:6 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
Ezekiel 10:7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
Ezekiel 10:8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
It goes on to say this in verse 20.
Ezekiel 10:20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; …
That was in the Babylonian captivity.
Ezekiel 10:20 … and I knew that they were the cherubims.
Ezekiel 10:21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
Ezekiel 10:22 And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
Okay, now I’m in Chapter 11.
Ezekiel 11:1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD’S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
We don’t know much about these men, because they are only mentioned here.
This is what verse 8 says.
Ezekiel 11:8 Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah].
Ezekiel 11:9 And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Ezekiel 11:10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD [Yehovah].
Ezekiel 11:11 This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:
Ezekiel 11:12 And ye shall know that I am the LORD [Yehovah]: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.
Ezekiel 11:13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
Let’s move on to verse 16.
Ezekiel 11:16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah]; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
This is the diaspora. He’s talking about what he’s going to do.
Ezekiel 11:17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah]; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
Ezekiel 11:18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
Ezekiel 11:20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Ezekiel 11:21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD [Adonai Yehovah].
Ezekiel 11:22 Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel …
Notice, it’s not the glory of God of the church.
Ezekiel 11:22 … and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Ezekiel 11:23 And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
That’s the mount of Olives. It’s a third of a mile east from the temple area.
Ezekiel 11:24 Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
So, this is the end in Ezekiel 11, the glory of God of Israel is standing on the mountain which is on the east side of the city. Now, we go to Zechariah 14.
Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD [Yehovah] cometh, …
That’s the same day of the LORD as Ezekiel 8-11.
Zechariah 14:1 … and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Zechariah 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, …
In Zechariah 12, no cities are taken. There are no casualties in Zechariah 12. Nobody goes into captivity. There’s none of that. But here, yes.
Zechariah 14:2 … and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished [raped]; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Why? Because they have the mark on their forehead, and nothing bad happens to them.
This is the time, times, and half a time we’ve been speaking about, the captivity. The first captivity was Egypt. The second captivity was Babylon. The third captivity was Rome, which is still going on. And the fourth captivity is the half a time, which is on the Great Day of the LORD, Gog and Magog, Zechariah 14:2. That’s when half of Jerusalem goes into captivity. Nothing as unusual as that has ever happened in history.
Zechariah 14:3 Then shall the LORD [Yehovah] go forth, …
Remember, the glory of God of Israel has the name, Yehovah, in him.
Zechariah 14:3 Then shall the LORD [Yehovah] go forth, and fight against those nations [the goyim], as when he fought in the day of battle.
When do you remember Yeshua ever fighting in the day of battle? Never. Not yet. This is the glory of God of Israel. The church is so screwed up in their teachings.
Zechariah 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, …
We just saw how he went out from the temple, and he stood on the mount of Olives in Ezekiel 11:12.
Ezekiel 11:23 And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
That’s where he is. And he watches until the half of Jerusalem goes into captivity. Then, BOOM! Then what happens?
Zechariah 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
When that very last person of the half of Jerusalem goes into captivity, with the glory of God of Israel standing on the mount of Olives, there will be this huge land shift.
Zechariah 14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
It doesn’t say saints. It says “qadosh,” the holy ones. This could very, very likely be the angels.
Zechariah 14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
Zechariah 14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD [Yehovah], not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
Zechariah 14:8 And it shall be in that day [that day], that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem;
The waters pass under the throne that the glory of God of Israel sits on in the temple, and it turns like the Dead Sea water into fresh water. It’s not the Water of Life that you see in New Jerusalem. It’s a step towards water like that, but it’s not that.
Zechariah 14:8 … half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
Zechariah 14:9 And the LORD [Yehovah] shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD [Yehovah], and his name one.
Zechariah 14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: …
That’s because the valleys are brought up and the mountains made low. It’s the new Heaven and the new Earth.
Zechariah 14:10 … and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, …
(Misc. here)
Zechariah 14:10 … and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.
Zechariah 14:11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem [Yerushalayim] shall be safely inhabited.
Now, I don’t know how they’re going to come up with an attack from the antichrist or the Beast or whomever they’re going to dream up, when it says what it does in this next verse.
Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem [Yerushalayim]; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
So, their eyes are melting in their sockets, and their flesh shall be consumed away. Let’s look at the phrase consumed away in the Hebrew – decay, pine away, rot, fester, dissolve away. It’s the same Hebrew word for their flesh, their eyes, and their tongue consuming away.
Now, this could be the two witnesses who have power to put all plagues on the people. They could be putting this plague on them.
Revelation 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their
prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all
plagues, as often as they will.
Zechariah 14:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD [Yehovah] shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
Now, they’re acting like we read in Ezekiel 38 & 39. They’re killing each other with the sword, the one standing next to the other one.
Zechariah 14:14 And Judah [Hudah] also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about [the attackers] shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
Zechariah 14:15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plagues.
Zechariah 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem [Yerushalayim] shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD [Yehovah] of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
Now, who do you know who has the power to cut the rain off? The two witnesses.
Zechariah 14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD [Yehovah] will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
So, they don’t get any rain if they don’t do this. This is when the nations rebel, and then they get no rain. And that’s why it is so critical to get the mark to buy and sell, because there’s food shortages. It’s not that you can’t get any new sets of Adidas or Nikes. It’s that you can’t buy food without the mark. That’s what it’s talking about, I believe.
Zechariah 14:20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD [Yehovah qadosh]; …
The bells are going to be referencing Yehovah. Not that you would be calling Yehovah a horse. It’s holy to Yehovah. Of course, you aren’t blaspheming Yehovah.
Zechariah 14:20 … and the pots in the LORD’S house …
So, obviously, the law is being fulfilled.
Zechariah 14:20 … shall be like the bowls before the altar.
Every pot in Jerusalem. Now, don’t look at me like there’s something wrong with me, because I’m teaching you the law is not done away with. It’s those goofs that are teaching that it was done away with. I’m teaching you what your Bible teaches you. I’m doing what your Bible says. I’m giving it to you right out of the scriptures. I’m spoon feeding you. They’re the ones lying to you. They’re the ones trying to send you to the lake of fire. Not me. Them.
Zechariah 14:21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice …
See, the law is not dead.
Zechariah 14:21 … shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
Now, we see the glory of God of Israel standing on the mount of Olives, and that’s when this ends. Now, let’s pick it up when he goes back to his temple in Ezekiel 43.
Ezekiel 43:1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:
Ezekiel 43:2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel …
Never the glory of God of the church.
Ezekiel 43:2 … came from the way of the east: …
Now, if you’re in Yeshua, you’re obviously in Israel. He calls you his brethren. You have the same Holy Spirit. He’s the King of Israel. He’s the high priest in the order of Melchizedek. So, obviously, Israel. Contrary to the teaching of the church, of course. If they told you that, you’d be supportive of Israel, and they don’t want that.
Ezekiel 43:2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
We’ll shine, too, like Moses did from being on Mount Sinai with the glory of God of Israel. That’s who Moses was with, by the way.
Ezekiel 43:2 … was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
Ezekiel 43:3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: …
He’s talking about destroyed Jerusalem, because he was the prophet Ezekiel, and he
prophesied it, because God won’t do it first unless he speaks it through his prophets. So, he says,
“I destroyed the city.” He knows he didn’t really do it. He spoke it.
Ezekiel 43:3 … and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
He saw the glory of God of Israel, and the visions of Chebar. I think it’s Ezekiel chapters 1 and 2.
Ezekiel 43:4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
So, the glory of God of Israel is going back into the temple. He’s coming from the east where the mound of Olives was, which is a third of a mile away.
Ezekiel 43:5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
Ezekiel 43:6 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
Ezekiel 43:7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, …
He’s going to be there forever, because they’ve already gotten a New Covenant in place with all 12 tribes of Israel.. Jeremiah 31.
Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jeremiah 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jeremiah 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
They shall all know me, from the least of the greatest. I give them a heart a flesh. I put my law in their heart. They’re changed. This is the New Covenant he sets up with the house of Israel. They’re not going to backslide anymore. That’s why he said he’s going to be there forever. If he’s going to be there forever, how the heck is the Beast and the false prophet and the talking statue going to set up shop there? They don’t! They set up shop in Pergamos. That’s where the temple was built, the one in 2 Thessalonians 2. It’s just a shrine. It’s not THE temple. It’s built there. Don’t think Yeshua was crucified in Jerusalem. It specifically says two times he was crucified outside the gates, the gates of Jerusalem. So, don’t get off on that Revelation 11 thing in the wrong way.
Ezekiel 43:7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
Ezekiel 43:8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.
Ezekiel 43:9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
They’ll stay there forever, because they don’t sin anymore. They got the law in their hearts. They got a heart of flesh. Their stony heart is gone. That happens on the Great Day of the LORD. Those that are left shall know him. Those that survived it.
Ezekiel 43:10 Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
Ezekiel 43:11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
Ezekiel 43:12 This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain [Mt. Zion] the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
They never get the complete measurements and the colors and everything about how to build it like Moses got for the Tabernacle. They only get a layout of the house so they can observe the laws and the ordinances pertaining to the house. This is the next Temple not in Jerusalem. Not in Jerusalem.
That’s hard to deliver that. You gotta balance everything in your head. It’s one thing to know it yourself. It’s another thing to teach it to people and hope they understand it. That’s a lot trickier than just knowing it yourself.
So, there you have it. The two pieces yet to come in this series are the Tribulation and the destruction of the Daughter of Babylon, and how that fits in with the Second Exodus, and stuff like that.
Dan.12:And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Dan 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Dan 12:13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
When it says the 1335 days, it’s days. It’s not years. It goes from 1290 to 1335. It’s a 45-day period when the really bad stuff happens.
It’s hard to deliver this stuff. I’m telling you. But I’m getting better at it. I hope you grasped it.
You read the different prophets, and you have to know what you’re doing. You’ve got to really know your way around the Old Testament. You read the different prophets, and they show you the same events from different angles. You can see it, even again, with the Book of Joel. I made the points I wanted to make without using the Book of Joel, but you certainly can read the Book of Joel, okay?
So, the mark on the forehead can’t possibly be the tribulation. Nothing bad happens to them. It can’t be Zechariah 12, because all Israel is not back. It can’t be any other battle, because after Ezekiel, they all know him, from the least to the greatest. So, you know, it’s pretty definitive.
I don’t know what’s going to be, but I think it’s gonna be ugly. God may stop it. This may be the point where the two witnesses emerge openly, and that’ll be the day, because that’s the same thing as the Redemption, because when they’re working openly, that’s their job – to pave the way for Yeshua. You have Zechariah 12. You have the Great Day of the LORD, Gog and Magog. Then, you have the tribulation on the nations. Yeshua comes back and shuts that down. Then, we move into him coming back with New Jerusalem. Then, we move into the Millennial Reign.
