Ezekiel’s Prophetic Headlines
Our daily events are swirling ever so tighter around the core of the last days Biblical prophecies. Among the many prophecies warning us in these end times regarding our current day situation, there is a distinct one mentioned in Ezekiel 36. Ezekiel is an end-time prophet sent to the House of Israel ... that would be us, not those of Judah or the Jews. His prophecies read like our headlines. And unlike Zionist corporate media, his prophecies are not fake news. “Moreover he [our LORD] said unto me [Ezekiel], Son of man, eat that you find; eat this roll, and go speak to the House of Israel.” [Eze. 3:1; also see Mat. 15:24, Mat. 10: 5, 6, Heb. 8:8]. The beginning of Ezekiel chapter 36 is most poignant in this regard. As you come upon the secular references listed herein, it would be good to open them to get a feel for what they say, which support Ezekiel’s words to us. You can go back and read them at length as you wish.
Ezekiel 36, verse 1: Also, you son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
Mountains are a metaphor. In the Biblical record, they refer to the nations, and their leaders, the ruling class of the nations. In this case, it references the House of Israel, the "Christian" nations of the West, particularly those in government and the churches. The House of Israel is not a reference to Jews, or those who are descendants of the House of Judah. [For clarification, see the Feature article, Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall].
Verse 2: Thus says the Lord GOD; Because the enemy has said against you, ‘Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:’
We need to keep in mind that all the events being addressed here by Ezekiel are led by our anti-Christian “Big Brother” Edom. The enemy is our brother who wants back the birthright that he sold to Jacob/Israel. [See chapter 6, The Genesis Birthright, in The Blind Man's Elephant for details and a complimentary downloadable copy at the bottom of the Home page]. And as to his inhabiting all the ancient high places, or holy places of his brother, Israel, he is going about this in a methodical manner in preparation for his emergence as Babylon the Great. [Taking Over The Historical Lands; Kidnapping Jerusalem Governor, Put In Prison].
Those of Edom are more well-known by their secular name, Zionists. Primarily, they are found throughout all the nations of the West, the House of Israel. And they have infiltrated all aspects of Western society, though not limited to banking, finance, education, tech, news media, social media platforms, etc. Zionist Edom in the secular nation-state of Israel, under the current leadership of Netanyahu’s Likud party, are making bold moves to control all the historical places, especially Jerusalem, the captial city of ancient Israel, now that the US has "agreed" to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Zionist state of Israel. [See Palestine Takes US To ICC; Bolton: ICC You're Dead To US]. Make no mistake, the nation-state of Israel is not a Jewish state despite the title of its nation-state law. It is not based on the Old Testament Judeo-law ethic. The nation-state of Israel is an Edomite Zionist entity. Zionists hide behind, and use the term Jews, and the epithet anti-Semitism [see the Sneakers article, Tail Wagging The Dog?], to benefit their goals of dominion because we "Christian” nations are blind to our ancestral identity, and therefore are blind to our brother Edom’s as well.
Today, the Zionists rule over the nation state of Israel. They are not descendants of the House of Judah or kinship Jews, one of Israel's sons. [See Zionists Are Not Jews Or Of Israel]. They are, in terms of traditional family relationships, Judah's uncle, a brother to their father Israel. They control the ancient high places, the holy places of our ancestral lands. They have manipulated the leaders of the US and UK. And in so doing, they have made Jerusalem their capital city. This is an interim move by the unseen beast, the Wicked (Lawless) one, [2 Ths. 2:8-10]. When he is no longer held back, then this Lawless One will be made known to the world. It is then that Jerusalem will be seen as the capital of Babylon the Great. [Rev. 18:10-24; see the Feature article, Why Do We Believe The Lies?]. For now, Edom literally is the beast in the sheep of Israel's clothing. [Hidden Deep State, The Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, Is The Enemy Within].
Verse 3: Therefore prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession unto the residue of the gentiles [non-Christian war survivors, i.e., refugees] and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy [slandered by] of the people:
This verse reads like our daily headlines. [Muslim Europe]. We are being made desolate by Edom who lives by the sword, and lives among us controling our financial wealth and national expenditures. [See Gen. 27:28-40; Trump Signs $716 Billion NDAA; also The Triumph Of Evil]. The movers and shakers behind these Middle East wars are Zionists, the hidden hand behind 9/11, who control the military (Pentagon)-industrial (military contractors)-financial (Wall Street/central banksters)-media complex of the West. And the prophetic impetus of our daily events began in earnest on 9/11 like a version of the Invasion Of The Body Nation Snatchers.
Our nations’ financial well-being are being bled dry by the military-industrial complex's thirst for war, and the central banksters who finance them with our inheritance and our blood. [Lies Of The Corrupt Elite]. We are run by our enemy, the destructive elite for their destructive ends. As the Zionist Netanyahu was quoted as saying, "Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away." [See Blow Away]. This pretty much is the definition of desolate.
Therefore, the ignorant mass "Christian" support for the state of Israel today, especially by "the mountains of Israel," is leading us to perdition's door. If we don't recognize and understand the Edomite wolf in sheep's clothing, then we are indeed blind sheep. Our leaders are of one mind regarding Zionist Israel. [See Rev. 17:12-14; also the Feature article, Revolution 17, Big Brother, The Beast Of Babylon].
Swallowed you up, [Heb. שָׁאַף shâʼaph] literally means "panted after" as a beast after its prey, thirsting for blood. Of course, this is driven by Edom's quest to take their brother Israel's birthright, our inheritance. [Swallowed Up By The Banksters; Amercia's Disappearing Middle Class]. As Edom says about this, "I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me [as a lone predator stalking its prey]: for I will tread them [House of Israel] in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment." [Isa. 63.3; see the Feature article, Isaiah 63: Big Brother, The Prophetic 21st Century Antichrist].
This is exactly what Edom has been doing since Herod "the Great," the Edomite ruler in Jerusalem in the first century. Our inheritance, and our blood, have become a prey after which our enemy has sought. And we are spilling it in his wars, and in post-military suicides. They are swallowing us up on every side, including our schools and universities. [Woke Political Agenda By Teachers Targeting Our Kids]. And they are about to fully succeed as the prophecies tell us. It is the prophesied time of Jacob's [Israel's] trouble. [Jer. 30:7]. Though a remnant of Israel shall survive. "And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase." [Jer. 23:3]. However, this is after what we commonly refer to as the Apocalypse. "And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel." [Rev. 7:4].
The reference here in verse 3, "that you might be a possession unto the residue of the gentiles" has become all too obvious. [Canada: The Trojan Horse Inside The Gate]. Europe has been inundated by the Merkelization of its nations by refugees. [See Invasion Of Europe]. And now, it appears that not only has this onslaught grown significantly, especially in Sweden [Sweden In Name Only], our blind leaders are bringing Trojan Horses into our cities under the guise of "humanitarian concerns." [See Jihadists Coming and Resettled in US, Canada, UK And Germany But Not Zionist Israel].
And it's not just this, but we are “taken up in the lips of the talkers, and are an infamy of the people.” [Infamy Of The People]. This is to say that our heritage and ancestral values are verbally attacked. Our Christian values are assaulted. And we are slandered for being white, which now is allegedly at the root of all evilness. [See the Sneakers article, Critical Reasoning And Thinking, What CRT Use To Be]. Our brother Edom, who is as white as we are, is behind this slander as we mention in the Sneakers article. The children of the House of Israel, the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Western Europe, are subject to lies and deceits on every side. Everything under the Sun is “the white man’s fault.” Our culture, our laws, our society, the slander directed at our skin color, immorality, sexual identity, our birthright wealth taken by the banksters and Wall Street, everywhere we look we are fenced in, attacked by our enemy, Edom. [See Losing The Fight Against Multicultural Concessions While Zionist Israel Adopts "Jewish Nation-State" Law].
This is one reason why people ask who runs the foreign policy of the US, UK and EU because it appears that Zionist Israel calls the shots particularly with the US. And in this, they are correct, for Edom/Esau is found among us as the Genesis prophecy says. [See Gen. 27:28-41]. But we must never forget that Ezekiel's prophecy is directed at us, the House of Israel, by the hand of our LORD and Savior because we have forsaken the love of the truth of the word of God. Though spoken by the prophet Zechariah to the children of Judah, the principle applies to all Israel [see Gen. 32:28] " ... because you have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you." [2 Chron. 24:20]. The Book of Chronicles, as it happens, is the last book of the Old Testament in its original order before the 5th century Roman cleric changed it in his Latin Vulgate translation.
And now we are on the road to becoming the possession of the survivors of those wars we started on behalf of our enemy Edom, who lives by the sword. [See Gen. 27:40, 41]. Sweden is probably the foremost example of where we are headed at this point in time with the UK not far behind. [Swedish Political Leader Gets Death Threats From Daesh, Behead Him and Son]. And now those survivors are being used to infiltrate our nations, undermining our weakened state from within, our societal levels of morality sunk to the depths, accepting lies in place of the truth both from our government and churches. It's like the barbarian invasion in the final stages of the western Roman Empire, with London and Washington D.C. as our Rome. [Fall Of The Roman Empire].
Our leaders blindly welcome war-hardened terrorists into our midst. [See the Feature article, Revelation 17: Big Brother, Beast Of Babylon]. Since the false flag of 9/11, the nations of the House of Israel have been lied into Middle East wars under the direction of Edom. Edom is the emerging sixth empire, the prophetic "one is" of Revelation 17, Babylon the Great. Knowing this key fact helps us understand the events taking place around us daily. [Again see chapter 6, The Genesis Birthright, "One is," in The Blind Man's Elephant for details].
And this is all done as it is written in the prophecies because we have been the most foolish of peoples on the Earth. Christianity has been duped. Already we worship and honor a Babylonian goddess with her pagan ritual accoutrements. Her name is Easter. Yet, the Biblical record shows Christ was not resurrected on a Sunday morning because he was not put into the tomb on a Friday afternoon, the weekly sabbath, according to John's gospel. [Annual High Sabbath; see the updated Feature article, Easter, Babylon And The Antichrist].
And while we are the prey Edom has pursued, we are at fault. We have abandoned the love of the truth of the word of God for the work of our hands, mammon. [See the Sneakers article, A Life And Death Pickle Of A Predicament]. As a result of our errant choices, like our ancestors of the House of Israel who were divorced from God and suffered the consequences because they prostituted their relationship with God, our daily events progressively will turn worse, for we are told by our Lord and Savior, “I have done these things to you.” [Jer. 30:15]. This is what Isaiah was referring to in his prophecy in chapter 17, "The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim ...." This refers to the protection and blessings of God for the House of Israel. [See again the Feature article, Damascus A Heap Of Ruins].
Verse 4: Therefore, you mountains [leaders] of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus says the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision [mockery] to the residue of the heathen that are round about;
This is addressed not only to the leaders of the House of Israel, but to all those below this level of leadership throughout our lands. Our nations have become a mockery to the values of the Judeo-Christian ethic and democracy upon which they were founded, to which our governments give lip service. The Zionist driven US uses the term democracy as a call to war, when in fact our nations have ceased being democracies. [US No Longer A Democracy]. The EU is run by the unelected executive beholden to oligarchs like billionaire George Soros. National parliaments are in an inferior position. From this executive, mandated regulations are issued, rubber stamped by the EU parliament. [See Favoring Extremism While Giving Lip Service To, Lying About Democracy].
Verse 5: Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea [those of Edom], which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
As A.R. Fausset points out in his commentary on Ezekiel 36:5, he says, “ … to cast it out for a prey--that is, to take the land for a prey, its inhabitants being cast out. Or the land is compared to a prey cast forth to wild beasts.”
Interesting that the beast, Babylon the Great, Zionist Israel with its new law, essentially is casting out the Palestinians inhabitants from this territory as Ezekiel said. [Zionists Move Against Palestinians And Rule Of Law]. But this is not a reference solely to the ancient land of Israel, but to our current day lands as well. The nations of the House of Israel, are becoming Edom's possession, ["when you have gained dominion ..." Gen. 27:40] as they move to become Babylon the Great. [See the Feature article, Ten Horns, Ten Nations].
Edom, the Zionists, are prideful of their progress in taking over the historical ancient high places that once was their brother Israel’s possession. Surreptitiously, as the wolf in sheep's clothing, they have planted evilness in our lands because we have lost our watchmen from the walls of the truth provided to us by Christ. [See Obadiah And The Prophetic Parable Of The Tares]. And they are ever so close to gaining overt control of our modern day nations and land as well as the prophecy in Genesis 27 says. And it will continue to be so until Babylon the Great is established, and then destroyed at the return of Christ. [Rev. 18].
For an understanding of why we, the children of the House of Israel have gotten into this predicament, and the warning from our LORD to us, Hosea chapter 4 and chapter 5 are a must read for any serious Christian. They read like today's headlines too. Note about Hosea 4:12, see the Feature article, Our Corrupted Compass. While the prophecy of Hosea was written about 60 years before the House of Israel was taken into captivity by the Assyrian Empire in 732 BCE, and is the reason why Christ was sent to redeem the "lost sheep of the House of Israel," its dual fulfillment is for our current day. When we don't learn from history, we repeat the same mistakes. See the Feature article, Damascus A Heap Of Ruins for more details.
The reference to Ephraim by Hosea is the royal nation of the House of Israel. Today, Biblical Ephraim is the nation of England and it's royal house. Also see Genesis 48 for how it is that Ephraim became the first among the nations of Israel, and Manasseh, his brother became the US. [See the Feature article, Is The US, And UK In End-times Bible Prophecy?].

Ezekiel’s Prophetic Headlines is based on, though greatly added to, information taken from the Feature article, Is That You, Big Brother? However, the prophetic nature of these five verses in Ezekiel make it an important independent Sneakers article as well.
