many are aware that in the book of Ezekiel there's a warning for the watchman where if he sees the sword or if he sees danger coming and he doesn't give warning the blood can actually be on his head now this video that I want to talk about today in part is about that however there's actually a specific prophecy about a sword of destruction coming to a land that's literally going to destroy not only the wicked but also the righteous and so I believe the body of Messiah is maybe even completely aloof to this and I think it's time we discussed it we find it at the end of Ezekiel chapter 20 let's take a look at it right now ezekiel 20 follow me here starting at verse 5 it says "Moreover the word of Yahwa," that's just how I understand our heavenly father's name came unto me saying "Son of man set your face toward the south and drop your word towards the south and prophesy against the forest of the south field and say to the forest of the south hear the word of Yahwa thus says Yahwa Elohim." That's the Hebrew word for God behold I will kindle a fire in you and it shall devour every green tree in you every dry tree the flaming fire shall not be quenched and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein and all flesh shall see that I Yahwa have kindled it it shall not be quenched then said I ah Yahweh Elohim they say of me does he not speak in parable so this is talking about green trees and dry trees being burnt up so that is talking about the righteous and the wicked which will actually be confirmed in the very next chapter let's go to Ezekiel 21:2 son of man set your face towards Jerusalem so now we're actually discussing where this prophecy is going to take place and drop your word toward the holy places and prophesy against the land of Israel and say to the land of Israel thus says Yahweh behold I am against you and I will draw forth my sword out of his sheath and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked now so that confirms what we just read about the dry tree and the green tree so he's going to cut off the righteous and the wicked seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north that all flesh may know that I Yahweh have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath it shall not return anymore let's uh get a little more information let's go down here to verse 14 says "You therefore son of man prophesy and smite your hands together and let the sword be doubled the third time." time now we're going to talk about this here in just a second the sword of the slain it is the sword of the great men that are slain which enters into their privy chambers i have set the point of the sword against all their gates that their heart may faint and their ruins be multiplied ah it is made bright it is wrapped up for the slaughter now what's interesting about this is as we know Jerusalem has been destroyed twice once in the time of Nebuchadnezzar and during that time uh they were exiled to Babylon and 70 years later they came back but they were destroyed again during 70 AD uh with the siege of Rome and Jerusalem was destroyed in a major way the second time and in that second time there was the dispersion into all the nations so what's interesting praise the most high through revelation of the spirit it's showing here very plainly that this sword that comes upon the land that was identified as Jerusalem that it will actually be doubled the third time now this actually plays into something we read about in Revelation 18 let's go there verse two and he cried mightily with a strong voice saying "Babylon the great is fallen is fallen and has become the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit in a cage of every unclean and hateful bird for all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." Really quickly wine is typically interpreted as doctrine uh fornication reading especially all throughout the prophets Hosea Ezekiel uh you'll see that the children of Israel consistently were accused of fornicating or being adulterers by walking in the ways of the nations or even in sometimes attempting to serve the most high in the ways that they had learned from the other nations this is uh this is the direct interpretation we get from the prophets uh through the mouth of the prophets about fornicating and so all nations have drunk a form of doctrine of uh well going astray from the most high and let's be honest does it doesn't matter what world religion it is or even Satanism and most people have gone astray from the most high and from his ways we'll get more into that here in a second and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies and I heard another voice from heaven saying "Come out of her my people that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of her plagues for her sins have reached unto heaven and Elohim has remembered her iniquities." Now listen "Reward her even as she rewarded you and double unto her double according to her works in the cup with she had filled filled to her double." Now my question when it comes to mystery Babylon which is the word mystery means an investigation is needed a question to investigate properly the ident identity of mystery Babylon do you think the most high would have us um investigating the world world religions or um encyclopedias or do you think he would want us looking in his word for where he prophesied that this double portion would be uh dealt out let's go to Isaiah 40:2 speaking of this double uh Isaiah 40:es 1-2 comfort ye comfort ye my people says your Elohim speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem there's another witness and cry unto her that her warfare is accomplished that her iniquity is pardoned for she has received of Yahwa's hand double for all her sins now that sounds eerily like what we just read in Revelation uh we'll have some more confirmations here in a second messiah for hopefully everyone watching this is a believer in the son of the most high i know his name is Yahusha maybe some of you know his name is Jesus now if you believe him that he is a prophet and that he prophesied things to come he said himself let's take a look at uh Luke 21: uh 20 it says "When you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies then know that the desolation thereof is nigh." It's close "then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains and let them which are in the midst of it depart out and let not them that are in the countries enter therein." Listen for these be the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled now before this video is over I'd like to prove to you via the scriptures that all things have not been fulfilled and you here in just a m a few verses later you'll see that uh these are precursors to the son of man coming and returning so these are things that we're going to have to see and so it's interesting the Matthew 24 parallel we just saw in Luke 21 that when we see Jerusalem compass with armies then know that the desolation thereof is nigh and the next thing is to flee to the mountains those who are in Judea flee now it's interesting when you look at Matthew 24 when you therefore shall see the abomination which Jerusalem is called over and over all throughout the Old Testament when you shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place whoever reads let him understand then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains and the reason for this is because the prophecy in Daniel which is in Daniel 9 all about the 70 weeks it's about about the people and about the holy city to finish transgressions make an end of sins make reconciliation for iniquity bring in everlasting righteousness seal division and prophecy and anoint the most holy now here's where we see that this is about the holy city Jerusalem and he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week and in the midst of the weak he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease and for the overspreading of abominations consider that I I understand that most of Christianity interprets this as the antichrist however I believe this is Messiah who confirms the covenant with his people and in the middle middle of the week he did cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease by his offering he ended the animal sacrifices and because of the abominations in Jerusalem he shall make it desolate 70 AD even until the consummation the consummation of what the consummation of times jerusalem was to remain spiritually desolate a habitation of devils and dragons until the end times and that determined the double portion stemming from Ezekiel and other prophecies we're reading shall be poured upon the desolate so Jerusalem spiritually is desolate right now not bringing forth the fruits of righteousness not a nation that accepted her Messiah not a nation even keeping the laws was the most high you ask why wait even Messiah said that in speaking to the Pharisees in Matthew 15:7 he says "You hypocrites well did Isaiah prophesy of you saying this people draws nigh they come close to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips but their heart is far from me in vain they do worship me teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." And that's what Judaism ultimately uh was guilty of they replaced the commandments of the most high with their own man-made teachings the same goes on today now I ask have our has Christianity done the same thing have you he replaced the law of the most high with a different set of rules i'll let you answer that but last thing I want to share with you is to prove to you that all things which are written concerning Jerusalem have not been fulfilled yet this is coming from the very beginning the Torah this is the denunciation upon his people those who were in covenant with him and went astray from him even so much as to kill his son and say "Come this is the heir let us kill him and seize his inheritance for ourselves." These are the people that walked away from the Torah of the most high in order to keep their own man-made traditions deuteronomy 29:21 "And Yahwa shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel according to the curses of the covenant that are written in the book of the law so that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you and the stranger that shall come from a far land shall say when they see the plagues of that land the land of Israel he just identified and the sickness with Yahwa which Yahwa has laid upon it and that the whole land listen the whole land thereof is brimstone stone salt burning sounds like a little bit like Sodom and Gomorrah right that it is not sown nor does it bear nor any grass grows in it like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and Adma and Zeboim which Yahwa overthrew in his anger and in his wrath even all nations shall say "Wherefore has Yahwa done thus unto this land at what means the heat of this great anger?" Then men shall say because they have forsaken the covenant of Yahweh Elohim of their fathers which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt so while the mainstream media will paint a very different picture of why that land will be receive a double portion of Yahwa's hands and however it comes whether it's uh missiles nukes uh or just a full-on invasion who knows or it can be brimstone from heaven either way when that place is destroyed the world will have its narrative however the Most High has told us for many years for many centuries many generations through the mouth of many prophets of why she will be destroyed i hope that our our brethren those who have the testimony of Yahusha Hamashiach would not follow the error of those those who are about to receive the double portion blessings shalom [Music]
