Ezekiel 37 - Israel a Judeo-Christian Nation

The prophecies are clear Israel is meant to be a Judeo-Christian nation.

Prophet Ezekiel

The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, 'Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.' Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, 'Ephraim's stick, belonging to Joseph and all the house of Israel associated with him.' Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.

"When your countrymen ask you, 'Won't you tell us what you mean by this?' 1say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim's hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah's stick, making them a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.' Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on and say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God. Ezekiel 37:16-23

DIVINE INTERVENTION



Abba sends his help to all of the people.

Prophet Isaiah also made a prediction about Islam and how God will help its members to leave captivity. It mentions how it would be broken into seven streams to help people in the same way that Abba helped the Jewish people to leave the bondage of Egypt. Prophet Isaiah also left instructions for Christians and the Jewish people.

“The LORD will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; (emotion of captivity) with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. (Islam) He will break it up into seven streams so that men can cross over in sandals. (so that people can leave captivity) There will be a highway for the remnant of his people that is left from Assyria, (Iraq) as there was for Israel when they came up from Egypt. Ephraim's (Christianity) jealousy will vanish, and Judah's (Judaism) enemies will be cut off; Ephraim (Christianity) will not be jealous of Judah, (Judaism) nor Judah (Judaism) hostile toward Ephraim. (Christianity). Isaiah 11. In the Aramaic Peshitta text equivalent the word is envy not jealousy.

Is your love stronger than your pride?



Jesus taught people to trample their garments of pride under their feet because he knew pride keeps people apart, religious garments divide and separate.

Take off your garments and come together Israel; share and be one for the sake of the children and the future of humanity. Remember the suffering of Joseph and how his brothers felt about him. Remember their envy and how Joseph forgave his brothers with the sheer depth of his love.

Many years ago Jesus said "The depth of your forgiveness determines the depth of your love".

When did America stop being a Judeo-Christian nation?

Congressman Forbes asks the questions "Did America ever consider itself a Judeo-Christian nation?" and "If America was once a Judeo-Christian nation, when did it cease to be?" on the floor of the US House.



In God we trust.
