GOD’S WORD ALWAYS COMES TRUE.
Every jot. Every tiddle.
Heaven and earth will pass away but My Words
will by no means pass away. Matthew 24:35.
Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month,
the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Around 588 BC.
The New Living Translation
says, “On January 15, during the ninth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity.”
This is an important
date, also recorded in 2 Kings 25:1-4, Jeremiah 39:1-2, 52:3-7.
Whenever God points to the clock, the calendar, in the Bible, we should
pay attention because, it’s for us. He knows one day the earth will open its’
mouth and speak, undeniable proofs of God’s Word. Archaeologists will uncover, ancient
documents will speak, of the Truth of God’s Word.
2 “Son of man, write down the name of the day, this
very day—the king of Babylon started his siege against Jerusalem this very
day.
This time God points
at the clock not only for us in our day, but also for those in Ezekiel’s day.
Because on that very day four or five hundred miles west of Ezekiel, Nebuchadnezzar,
the king of Babylon, surrounded Jerusalem, and began an eighteen month siege
that ended with the destruction of the city. (Jer. 52:5-7).
Why did God tell
Ezekiel to write down the day?
Because they had no
television, internet or phones. So, in a month or two word would finally reach
Ezekiel in Babylon that the siege had begun. He’d say, “I already know, God sent
me a text on the very day it happened—see I wrote it down.”
This was Divine knowledge,
Divine Confirmation, and Divine Judgement.
The siege was
judgement on Judah for their ongoing evil. Something Ezekiel (and other
prophets) had been warning about for years.
For four years
Ezekiel had been preaching, “Judgement is coming. Judgement is coming...”
For four years many
ignored.
But on that very day,
what he said would happen. Did happen.
Then, they wished
they would’ve listened.
Interestingly,
providentially, this very week, while we are on this very
Scripture, it’s been four years since I started
preaching at Church in the Clubhouse. Week after week, twice a week, for four
years warning after warning, judgement is coming, judgement is coming...
For four years many
ignored.
But one day, on that
very day, what I said would happen, will happen.
Then, they’ll wish
they would’ve listened.
3 And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them,
‘Thus says the Lord God:
“Put on a pot, set it on,
And also pour water into it.
4 Gather pieces of meat in it,
Every good piece,
The thigh and the shoulder.
Fill it with choice cuts;
5 Take the choice of the flock.
Also pile fuel bones under it,
Make it boil well,
And let the cuts simmer in it.”
Choice meat from the
choice flock, simmered well. This sounds like a fine stew being brewed. Which made
the hearers’ ears perk up. They could relate. They thought all along, they were
the choicest of the flock, the elite meat, safe and sound within the cauldron
walls of Jerusalem. No matter what the prophets said, they thought God was
about to MIGA (Make Israel Great Again).
6 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God:
Okay guys, listen up,
here comes the blessing, the announcement, God is going to make us healthy,
wealthy and wise, because we are so awesome in His eyes.
“Woe to the bloody city,
To the pot whose scum is in it,
And whose scum is not gone from it!
Ruh roh!
Bloody city refers JerUSAlem’s
violence and bloodshed.
The scum depicts “rust”
signifying deep imbedded corrosion, corruption.
Four years of warning
came flooding their memory, especially the part from Ezekiel 11:2-12, where
they said they were the elite meat and the city was their safe cauldron, but
God said, they were not the meat and the city was not their cauldron, but they
would be brought out of the city and be slain by the sword.
That was one of the
many Words of the Lord they had ignored, but...
GOD’S WORD ALWAYS COMES TRUE.
Every jot. Every tiddle.
Heaven and earth will pass away but My Words
will by no means pass away. Matthew 24:35.
Bring it out piece by piece,
On which no lot has fallen.
Just as the Lord
said, they were brought out and slain, siege by siege.
7 For her blood is in her midst;
She set it on top of a rock;
She did not pour it on the ground,
To cover it with dust.
JerUSAlem brought
this judgement on herself.
She shed her
blood from her midst.
Pay
attention! From the midst
of JerUSAlem is USA. From our midst we shed the blood of
over ONE MILLION INNOCENT babies per year.
JerUSAlem set her blood on display on top of the rock, she did not cover it. She had no shame or remorse for her sin.
Just this week Massachusetts mass murdering governor and a
demonized horde shamelessly applauded as she signed into law a bill welcoming
the slaughtering of babies up to the moment of birth.
Why are the
Christians yawning?
Why are the Pastors silent?
Are we JerUSAlem
thinking, even if we live in sin, God will make us great again?
8 That it (the blood) may raise
up fury and take vengeance,
I have set her blood on top of a rock,
That it may not be covered.”
Blood crying out raises the fury of the Lord to take vengeance.
God will not allow such
blatant, arrogant, disregard for the sanctity of life.
Since God was moved
by the cry of the blood of one man, Abel, how much more the innocent blood of
babies?
In the US, since Roe
v Wade in 1973, 67.5 million (and growing by one every twenty-eight seconds)
have been violently, painfully, slaughtered.
9 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Woe to the bloody city!
I too will make the pyre great.
10 Heap on the wood,
Kindle the fire;
Cook the meat well,
Mix in the spices,
And let the cuts be burned up.
The siege
intensified, the judgement grew hotter.
The city was
surrounded.
None went out, none
came it.
All supplies were cut
off.
Death toll went up.
Food supply ran low.
Some resorted to
cannibalism.
The wall was breached,
a bloodbath ensued, all were taken captive or killed.
What happened then
foreshadows what will happen again, only worse. The great tribulation is quickly
approaching.
11 “Then set the pot empty on the coals,
The city lay empty
and in ruins.
That it may become hot and its bronze may burn,
That its filthiness may be melted in it,
That its scum may be consumed.
Turn up the heat,
consume the city with fervent heat, for nothing can be done to cleanse the
scum, and the corruption therein.
Which is exactly what
happened, and what will happen.
The earth will melt
with fervent heat, therefore we look for a new heaven and a new earth wherein
righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:10-13.
12 She has grown weary with lies,
And her great scum has not gone from her.
Let her scum be in the fire!
13 In your filthiness is lewdness.
God’s judgement is
just.
She did this to
herself.
Judgement fell
because of her lies, her scum, her filthiness, her lewdness.
Because I have cleansed you, and you were not cleansed,
You will not be cleansed of your filthiness anymore,
Till I have caused My fury to rest upon you.
Time after time the
Lord tried to cleanse you, but you refused.
Year after year,
month after month, day after day, moment after moment, He knocks.
Each time.
You refused.
One day, perhaps
this very day, you will stand before Him.
Your choice will have
already been made, a thousand times, every knock you wouldn’t answer. Every
Word you rejected, every time, you told Him, “No. I choose my way. Not Yours.”
Wrong choice because
Jesus said:
John 14:6
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through Me.
And...
GOD’S WORD ALWAYS COMES TRUE.
Every jot. Every tiddle.
Heaven and earth will pass away but My Words
will by no means pass away. Matthew 24:35.
So, on that very
day, His Word will be fulfilled, and you will receive your choice, because
Love doesn’t force, and you will go your way into the eternal lake
of fire. Rev. 20:15, 21:8.
14 I, the Lord, have spoken it;
It shall come to pass, and I will do it;
I will not hold back,
Nor will I spare,
Nor will I relent;
According to your ways
And according to your deeds
They will judge you,”
Says the Lord God.’ ”
That’s the end of Ezekiel 24.
That’s the beginning of the time of the
gentiles.
From that moment when Nebuchadnezzar besieged
Jerusalem, to this moment, Jerusalem has been trampled by the gentiles (not
under the sovereign rule of Israel).
We are living near the end of the time of
the gentiles.
What’s the time of the gentiles?
THE TIME OF THE GENTILES
God set the precedent with Abraham.
Genesis
15:16
But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of
the Amorites is not yet complete.
Abraham’s descendants won’t move into the Promise Land,
until the sin of the inhabitants is so bad that the Lord wipes them out to make
room for His people.
Then, fast forward from Abraham about 2,000 years and
listen to Jesus talking about the end of the times of the
Gentiles.
Luke
21:24
And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led
away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by
Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
He’s talking about our not so distant future.
At the end of the Great Tribulation, the world will be
led by a ten nation coalition under the leadership of the antichrist.
They will gather for war against Jerusalem. Their sin
will be so bad that the Lord will wipe them out to make room for His people.
That Armageddon
will end the time of the gentiles.
Daniel
2:44
And in the days of these kings (the ten-nation
coalition) the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall
never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it
shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall
stand forever.
Then, the blindness that has been on most of Israel
will be lifted.
Zechariah
12:10
And I will pour on the house of David and on
the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then
they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will
mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve
for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.
Jews alive at the end of the Great Tribulation will
recognize Christ Jesus, and mourn, and grieve, and repent, and turn to Him, and
all Israel will be saved.
Romans
11:25-26
For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery,
lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in
part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has
come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as
it is written:
“The
Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
DAYS
OF DECEPTION
Today we sit on the threshold of all these things
being fulfilled.
How do I know?
Because when Jesus was asked about the end times, the
first thing He said was, be not deceived.
Matthew 24:4, Mark 13:5, Luke 21:8
And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed
that no one deceives you.
So, a major characteristic of the end of days will be deception.
Paul confirmed it:
1
Timothy 4:1-2
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will
depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits
and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies
in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron.
Deceiving spirits, speaking lies, in
hypocrisy. Deception. Deception. Deception.
Because the Lord loves you so much and wants you to be
aware of the times in which we live, He gives you object lessons, just to be
clear.
Just this week we received a text from our credit card
company stating that STUBHUB tried to bill our credit card $876.70.
Thankfully, they declined the transaction and asked if
we were trying to make that transaction.
We weren’t.
We jumped through the hoops to close our card and
order a new one.
Then we posted the warning to let others know to be on
guard.
We also posted this prayer:
Lord we pray those thieves are caught and
convicted to the fullest extent of the law. More importantly that their hearts
are convicted and they stop this mad dash toward hell and turn to You, and
live.
Lord, I pray You protect my family and
friends and those who read this from the ever growing deception of the devil.
Please rebuke the devourer that comes to steal, kill and destroy. Give us
wisdom to walk in Your Ways and avoid his snares.
Thank You.
We trust and love You, forever.
Amen
Then, before the ink dried, we received a phone call.
Thankfully it went to voicemail.
An automated robocall with an AI-generated voice
message claiming a purchase of over $900 for a PlayStation 5 and headsets was
made on a Walmart account in my name, urging me to call back or press
"1" to cancel the transaction.
Upon investigation we discovered:
THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT CALL BACK AND DO NOT PRESS A
NUMBER TO CANCEL.
Google says: "This is a widespread phishing scam.
A common automated robocall or AI-generated voice message claims a
pre-authorized purchase of around $900 (often a PlayStation 5 and headset) was
made on a Walmart account in your name, urging you to call back or press a
number to cancel it".
Again we posted the warning and another prayer:
Thank You Jesus, for exposing the
deceiver, rebuking the devourer, stopping the mouth of liars, and crushing the
serpent's head.
Thank You for telling us, we shall know
the Truth, and the Truth, shall set us free.
We trust in You with all our heart and
lean not on our own understanding. In all our ways we acknowledge You, and You
direct our paths.
We won't worry about anything, but pray
about everything, with thanksgiving, and Your peace that passes understanding
guards our hearts and minds.
Thank You.
We love You, forever.
Amen.
Shortly thereafter we heard these comments:
Heather: “I just had
Google try to take 8 different charges totalling $189 out of my account. Thank
goodness I had fraud alerts. The bank cancelled my card. You have to be soooo
careful these days”
Cindy: Jimmy got one the other
day for $1200.00....the bank blocked”.
Glenda: “I just had to cancel
and reorder my credit card too, for the same reason.”
Sadie & Dennis: Their
entire checking account of thousands of dollars was drained due to some
Robinhood bitcoin investment scheme.
All of that a day before preaching this message.
When speaking of the end times the first thing Jesus
said, is “be not deceived.”
We are living in days of deception.
Be not deceived... and be not discouraged, but encouraged, for when you see these things taking place, lift up your head for your redemption draws nigh. Luke 21:28.
1
Thessalonians 4:16-18
For the
Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an
archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in
Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are
alive and remain shall be caught up together with
them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall
always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore
comfort one another with these words.
1
Corinthians 15:50-58
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom
of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold,
I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all
be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,
and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For
this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this
mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this
corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is
swallowed up in victory.”
55 “O Death,
where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?”
56 The
sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the
law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives
us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore,
my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work
of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
This very day may be the day because:
GOD’S WORD ALWAYS COMES TRUE.
Every jot. Every tiddle.
Heaven and earth will pass away but My Words
will by no means pass away. Matthew 24:35.
The siege is set, the
match is lit, the battering rams are in hand, the pot is boiling...
This very day, the
Lord commands, today I set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, My
Way, or your way.
Which way do you
choose?
Let’s pray.
Lord
Jesus, thank You for Your Word that always comes True. Thank You for the honor
to know You, the Way, the Truth, the Life. Thank You for warning us of these
days of deception, as the times of the gentiles draws to a close. Now help us
to follow hard after You, doing Your will, being soul winners and disciple
makers, so that of all those You’ve given us, none are lost.
Thank
You, Lord.
We love You,
forever.
Amen.
