THEN THEY WILL KNOW!

At this very moment in time the world’s turmoil is at a fever pitch. Troubles facing mankind seem to be everywhere. Earthquakes, volcanoes, storms and catastrophic floods have simultaneously intensified from one end of the earth to the other. All of these events in the midst of the ongoing global pandemic, political and religious unrest are certainly indications that bible prophecies are being fulfilled.           

However, instead of recognizing what God is doing, and will continue doing, what are the leaders of the Nations now saying? “Listen to us, we have the answers, we’ve got everything under control, we’re going to fix everything.” Psalms 2:1-5 actually describes this very moment in time.            

“Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His anointed, saying ‘Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.” “He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision. “Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure.”      

The vast majority of people trust in the leaders of their countries to find the solutions. Even the churches preach about politics and constantly look to the leadership of men to provide better lives, while ignoring the promised Kingdom of God. As Isaiah 29:10-13 reveals, God has closed their eyes to the prophets for the reason they glorify God merely with their lips… and not with their heart!           

If the day of God’s wrath is indeed upon us, what’s next? In describing the end time tribulation, there are many scriptures that simply state wickedness and wicked people will be cutoff or destroyed. In the book of Ezekiel these destructions are shown to us individually and in great detail.          

This prophetic book leaves no doubt as to what is this world’s most disgusting thing in the eyes of God… false worship! It actually shows us the events of the tribulation, right on through the musterion. If you’re not familiar with the word musterion, it was the original Greek word used in Revelation 10:7. The understanding of the meaning of this very complex word should spark a true seeker to investigate!    

“The plan of God which is hidden from the world and kept secret to ordinary eyes, awaiting fulfillment or revelation at the appointed time, to those for whom it is intended. A musterion is something quite unintelligible to the uninitiated but made crystal clear to the initiated by only, divine revelation.”   

In many of today’s translations this word is rendered “mystery.” It actually is God’s “hidden plan” of salvation presently known by very few. As Revelation 10:7 states, the mystery of God was told to His servants the prophets.             

Therefore, our lives and the lives of our loved ones, depend on properly understanding the information that God has hidden in the similitudes and visions of the prophets. (Hosea 12:10)                                                                                          

He has hidden his plan for mankind’s salvation for a reason! God’s Sacred Secret will never be known by people who care nothing about Him. (Obadiah 18) This lifegiving information is aimed directly to all people who search for God’s ways, are concerned with pleasing Him, and who love Him from the heart… without the need for personal gain. The time to learn and tell other God-fearing people, is upon us!          

Isaiah 6:9-11 explains that the sacred secret of how God will provide salvation will not be understood by God’s people until they begin to have eyes that see and ears that hear. It further indicates that most will not understand until the cities actually crash in ruins.                                                                       

“The voice of the LORD said; Go and tell this people: Keep on listening, but do not perceive; Keep on looking, but do not understand. Render the hearts of this people insensitive, their ears dull, and their eyes dim, otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, return and be healed.” “Then I said, LORD how long? And He answered, ‘Until the cities actually crash in ruins, to be without an inhabitant, houses be without people, and the ground is ruined into a desolation.”                                                    

The locations of the cities God is referring to, and how and why they will crash in ruins, is a big part of the sacred secret or hidden plan of God!!                       

The only place in the world you will find the true facts about how and why is in the 4th and 5th Thunders! The fact that the knowledge of why God will make Jerusalem (Ariel) and the cities of Judah (the teachers) a desolation will be found in only one place, is verified at Jeremiah 9:12.                           

“Who is the man so wise that he can understand this? To whom has the mouth of the LORD spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined and laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?”                                                                    

As we speak, God’s promised siegeworks against Ariel are literally raging! (Isaiah 29:3) Earthquakes and volcanoes are sieging and preparing mountains for a future day of God’s choosing, to fall into the ocean causing a mega-Tsunami. This fulfillment of prophecy will devastate the islands and coastlands of metaphoric Ariel. As Isaiah 29:5 warns; it will happen in an instant, suddenly!                                     

A vision as the LORD’S Day draws near is stated at Zephaniah 1:10. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.”                                                                                     

This vital end time information will never be explained from the altars of men because of what God calls their stumbling-block causing error. They do not understand that God used the ancient world to explain His actions during the final days of our present world system. Their inability to understand the true identity of the sons of Israel in prophecy, how and why He will create Jerusalem, (Isaiah 65:18) makes them totally blind to the wonderful salvation plan as told to His servants the prophets. God Himself explains their foolish knowledge concerning Israel and why He will rebuild and raise up the desolated places of Jerusalem at Isaiah 44:25,26.      

“I am frustrating the signs of the empty talkers, and the One that makes diviners act crazily; the One turning wise men backwards, and the One that turns even their knowledge into foolishness; the One making the word of His servant come true, and the One that carries out completely the counsel of his own messengers; the One saying of Jerusalem, she will be inhabited, and of the cities of Judah, they will be rebuilt, and her desolated places I shall raise up.”                                                                    

The book of Ezekiel is actually written about the Israel of prophecy, God’s people today. They are the ones God’s repeated statement refers to: “They will become my people and I will become their God.”                                                     

Currently, the people who will become God’s Israel are captivated in false worship. Their false shepherds have taught them the book of Ezekiel is all about ancient Israel and literal Jerusalem. They have no clue it is a similitude for the final part of the days, written in the lingo of antiquity. This false teaching has actually blinded the minds of God’s people, preventing truthful knowledge of the method God will use to provide them salvation. Titus 1:10-14 exposes the religious leaders who cause the current world-wide blindness!                                                                           

“For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision; whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may become sound in the faith; not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.”                                                                                                                

The ancient act of Israel’s literal circumcision was merely a picture of God’s final circumcision of the hearts of the Israel of prophecy! (1st Corinthians 10:11)            

As the book of Ezekiel begins the prophet is in the presence of The Almighty God. God bores a hole in the wall showing him the many detestable things his people are doing inside their sanctuaries. He is then told to pack his luggage and get out… and is told the bread of man he must not eat!                                                                

“Son of man, a watchman is what I have made you to the house of Israel, and you must hear from My mouth speech and you must warn them from Me.”  (Ezekiel 3:17)    

After studying with much care, Ezekiel breaks the rods around unleavened loaves, and begins speaking real truth to the people.                                      

Your altars will be made desolate, your idols must cease, your works wiped out. Bones will be scattered around your altars. Money will be thrown in the streets in the day of The LORD’S fury! God will bring in the worst ones of the nations against many of the altars of men. They will put an end to the pride of the strong and profane their holy places! The people will seek visions from their shepherds but teachings from priests and elders will perish. God then says, “According to their ways and judgements I will judge them, and then they shall know I am the LORD!”

Ezekiel continues speaking about those who are prophesying out of their own heart, and warns the people they are being duped by an untrue vision. Presently most people of religions are waiting on a lying divination.                   

If the man contrived rapture theory was true, the words of all the prophets would be meaningless. If they understood the musterion the prophets have explained, they would know the apostle Paul was talking about a much later time period. God’s choices of people will be taken to heaven after the Holy cities of Israel have been firmly established and the teaching work accomplished. As Daniel 12:2-4 points out, at that time the true knowledge will become abundant as resurrections take place. These resurrections are described in the 37th chapter of Ezekiel. This also shows us the time period! Jesus Christ has become the one and only shepherd over God’s people! God’s Kingdom has been set in place to rule for evermore!!

This perfectly harmonizes with Paul’s words at 1st Thessalonians: “The living who survive to the presence of the Lord will not precede those fallen asleep in death.” Therefore, rather than to keep expecting our magical transference to heaven any day now, we should focus on understanding and anticipating God’s salvation plan now being revealed in the prophets. If you persist on waiting for men’s contrived fable, don’t hold your breath.                                  

This is why understanding the prophets during these current days is so important! (Zechariah 8:9) Those waiting on the rapture should read the following scriptures. Then they will know! (2nd Timothy 2:18) (2nd Timothy 4:3,4) (1st Corinthians 15:20-23 & 36) (Luke 24:25)                              

Continuing on in the 13th chapter, God declares He will tear down the whitewashed walls of those who have made His people the hearers of a lie! Righteous ones, caught like birds in the hunt, will no longer have hearts dejected by falsehood. God promises: “I will deliver my people out of their hand, then they will know I am the LORD!”           

God’s choices of people will not continue the false worship within the walls of wood and stone. After the cities of Ariel crash in ruins, God will collect them together in the wilderness, where He will create Jerusalem. There is where they will learn to serve Him, there in His presence, is where He will take pleasure in them. Ezekiel 36:33-38 describes the wonderful things God has in store for them!

“Thus says the Lord God, On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places will be rebuilt.” “The desolate land will be cultivated instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passes by.”They will say, this desolate land has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste, desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.” “Then the nations that are left round about you will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolate; I, the Lord, have spoken and will do it.” Thus says the Lord God, this also I will let the house of Israel ask Me to do for them: I will increase their men like a flock.” “Like a flock for sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so will the waste cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”                          

As for the self-righteous teachers of the lie, Ezekiel’s words are not good news. God will put a sharpened and polished sword in the hands of a killer. Once it’s there it will not go back in the sheath!                                                                                      

At the present time God has not assembled and empowered these tyrants of the nations. (Revelation 17:12) But when He does, they will go on an unbelievable world-wide spree of destruction. They will destroy areas and peoples that will totally shock and confuse the teachings of today’s religious leaders! They will get stronger and stronger as earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunami make presently powerful countries weaker and weaker… becoming extremely vulnerable to attacks. When these men of ruination begin their rampage, the prophesied tribulation will be in full force!                                                                                               

Because of current world events, God’s people, who or where ever they may be, need to become cognizant of the true meanings in the book of Ezekiel. The meaning of the name Ezekiel is: “God will strengthen.”                                         

As tribulation events begin, God will strengthen all people who possess faith in Him. This will be done through true knowledge and understanding. The book of Ezekiel was designed for this moment in time!                                                             

There is still more to come from this time of the end book! As God’s people gain the esoteric knowledge of the hidden plan, it will become crystal clear why God made a very particular statement over and over again…                       

THEN THEY WILL KNOW!!!
