Ezekiel 8:17 - Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to prevoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

What abominations do they commit?  What causes Yahuah to deal in fury?

Ezekiel 9:4-5   And Yahuah said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of            Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.  And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the midst of the city, and smite:  let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity

There is a great deception going on.  If it were possible, even the elect would be deceived.  What are the sins of Israel.  If we look to history, we will find that nothing new is under the sun.  What does it mean to offer up their children to molech?  Who is molech?  Why do people sacrifice to any elohim?

Three quotes from Jewish Telegraph Agency are as follows:

At the moment, birth control and abortion services are not only legal but, in most cases, abortion is covered by health plans with a small copay. Women serving in the Israeli army are entitled to free birth control and abortions.

 former chief Ashkenazi rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, who two years ago attacked the official committees that by law approve abortions. Eliyahu charged that “a million children have been cut down alive since the state [of Israel] was created.”

 While I appreciate Galon’s desire to make abortion even more accessible to all woman in Israel by doing away with the committee that reviews requests for a government-subsidized abortion, it is still the case that with committee approval, every Israeli’s health plan covers abortion for most women between the ages of 18 and 42 for a small copay, and for free for women outside that age range. That is a stark contrast to the situation in the United States.
Op-Ed: Don’t set back reproductive rights for Israeli women | Jewish Telegraphic Agency

Since 2014 Abortion is not only legal, but is available to be paid for by public funds through a health basket in Israel.  Amendments to laws for pregnancies past 22 weeks have been introduced in order to disallow these late term abortions have all failed to date.  Thus, even late term abortions are being paid for by public funds in Israel today. 

If the one million babies murdered is close to correct, (there are currently about 20,000 reported abortions per year in Israel), we have over 10% of the current population of Israel murdered with the approval and authority given by the government of Israel over the last 50 years.  There were numerous unreported abortions provided by private facilities during this time.  If we included those unreported estimates, the numbers just get worse.

Now lets compare that number to the number of fatalities related to terrorism in Israel.  The official government figures are as follows.

From 1920-2016 - 3759 terrorism related fatalities
          just   2016       16
 average in 97 years  38.75

This includes 200 people during the first uprising from 1987-1993 and a little more than a thousand during the Palestinian War from 2000-2005.  So if you include all the terrorist deaths for all of Israel since 1920 and compare it to the number of murders of innocent children through abortion just since Israel became a State, we find that less than 4/10ths of one percent.  There is more than 5 times the number of murders in one year compared to all the terrorist related deaths in all of Israel since 1920.

Ecclesiastes 5:8   If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgement and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.


Yahuah will judge the violent ones among his people.


Matthew 11:12   And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Ezekiel 8:17-18   Then he said to me, hast thou seen this, O son of man?  Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here?  For they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and lo, they put the Branch to their nose.  Therefore will I deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

Isaiah 65:12  Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter:  because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that which I delighted not.



There is another time on earth where it was filled with violence.


Genesis 6:11   The earth was corrupt before Elohim, and the earth was filled with violence.


The outcome of this instance of violence on the earth was the total destruction of the earth as was then known.  The floods came and cleansed the earth of violence.  The renewal of life on the earth was propagated with those that were in the ark.  This is called the remnant or chosen.  Those that he had mercy on were saved from the destruction.  There is coming another purging of life on the earth.  Why does the purging come?  Because violence is spread through the earth.  The people of this world are going to be violent because they have no love in them.  When the people of Yahuah lose their first love, when they have no love in them, they become violent.  Why do wars increase on the earth.  Because men without Yahuah have no love in them.


John 13:35   By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.


Yahushua set a new standard of love.  He stated that our love should be better than the love of the world.  Our love should confound the world.  Our love should be so great for even our enemy, that we would be willing to die in order to show them our love.


Matthew 5:43-44   You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.


Is this possible without the Ruach Hakodesh(Seperated Spirit)?  Of course not!  We can only walk in this love when we are walking in Yahushua.  Walking in the power of the living Elohim.


It is not surprising to see so much violence in the land.  It is a sign of the depravity of men who take it upon themselves to take the land for themselves.  Should we wait for Yahushua to build the house or should we build it, and He will come?  That is the question at hand.

Abraham received the promise of inheriting the land.  Abraham sojourned and wandered around in tents instead of going up and taking the land for himself.  Since Yahuah promised him the land, was Abraham not believing the promise because he failed to go up and take it by force?  Why did he choose to wander in tents instead of fight to take it.  When Lot, his nephew was captured, he had the strength to go and rescue him from a formidable army.  And, even if his forces were not as big and as strong as their enemy, if Yahuah is with him who can be against him.  There is no army on earth that could have stopped Abraham from taking the promised land if it had been Yahuah's purpose and will for Abraham to receive the promise then.

There is another time in history when there was opportunity to take the land by force.  Only that particular time, the Messiah himself was here on earth.  The people were so desperate to be freed from their Roman oppressors that they even tried to force Yahushua to be king.


John 6:15  When Yahushua therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.


Then later his disciples had thought it was time to fight and Yahushua clearly stated that they were mistaken and that it was not time to fight.  In fact, he stated whoever would  take up the sword would die by the sword.


Matthew 26:52  Then said Yahushua unto him, put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take up the sword shall perish with the sword.


Jeremiah also preached this message to the Yahudim.   Like Yahushua's words, they didn't like or listen to Jeremiah's words either.


Jeremiah 21:9 and Jeremiah 38:2 pretty much say the same thing.  -  Thus saith Yahuah, he that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.


Why did Jeremiah tell them not to fight?  Why did he tell them to turn themselves over to their enemy?  He says to save their life.  If they stay and fight, they'll die.  This was not a popular message.  The message that Yahuah has decided not to hear your fastings and not to accept your sacrifices and that he will consume you is a very unpopular message.


Jeremiah 14:12  When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them:  but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.


Now we know why the leadership had him put in prison.  Because they hated his message.  Not only did they hate his message, they hated Yahuah.  All that stand for Yahuah will be hated by those of the world.  They hated David.  Jeremiah was hated.  Yahushua was hated.


John 15:18  If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

John 15:25  But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without cause.

Psalm 69:4  They hated me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head:

1 John 3:13  Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.


How do we know that we have passed over(become hebrews) from death to life?


1 John 3:14-16  We know that we have passed over from death to life, because we have love for the brethren.  He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.  He that hateth his brother is a murdere:  and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.  Hereby perceive ye the love of Elohim, because he laid down his life for us:  and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.


We are commanded to love our neighbor. We are commanded to love our brother.  We have heard it said we are to hate our enemy.  We have heard it said we are to hate Jews.  We have heard it said we are to hate Muslims.  We have heard it said to hate atheists.  We have heard it said we should hate christians.  We have heard it said we should hate communists.   We have heard it said we should hate republicans.  We have heard it said we should hate democrats.  Who is the brethren?  Who is your brother?  Who is your enemy?  The question should not be who should we hate.  The question should be who should we love.


Matthew 5:43-48  You have heard it said, Thou shall love your neighbour, and hate your enemy.  But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that despitefully use you, and persecute you.  That you may be the children of your father which is in heaven:  for he maketh his sun to rise on the  evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.  For if you love them which love you, what reward have ye?  do not even the publicans the same?  And if ye salute your brethren only, what do you more than others?  do not weven the publicans so?  Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father  which is in heaven is perfect.


The results of hate are violence and death.  The results of love are peace and life.

There is much hatred on the earth.  There is much violence on the earth. There is much death on the earth.

There is much love in heaven.  There is much peace in heaven.  There is much life in heaven.

But know this: hate, violence and death shall increase on the earth as long as people choose to have any other Elohim before their face.


Mark 12:29-31  And Yahushua answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel; Yahuah our Elohim is One Yahuah: and you shall love Yahuah your Elohim with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strenghth:  this is the first commandment.  And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.  There is none other commandment greater than these.
