More Disasters on the Horizon? |
by Tom Robinson
The shocking events of recent times should serve as a powerful wake-up call to the United States and other nations that sprang from Britain. God repeatedly warns that He will bring punishment on the modern descendants of Israel until they turn from their disobedience and repent.
Notice the following message God gave through the prophet Ezekiel: "Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says to Israel: The end is here! Wherever you look-east, west, north, or south, your land is finished. No hope remains, for I will unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your disgusting behavior. I will turn my eyes away and show no pity, repaying you in full for all your evil ... With one blow after another I will bring total disaster!
"The end has come! It has finally arrived! Your final doom is waiting! O people of Israel, the day of your destruction is dawning ... Soon I will pour out my fury to complete your punishment for all your disgusting behavior. I will neither spare nor pity you. I will repay you for all your detestable practices ... None of these proud and wicked people will survive. All their wealth will be swept away. Yes, the time has come; the day is here!" (Ezekiel 7:2-12, New Living Translation).
Ezekiel's prophecies are remarkable in that he prophesied long after the ancient kingdom of Israel had been crushed and its people taken away at the hands of the Assyrian Empire. His message could not have been for exclusively for ancient Israel-because that kingdom no longer existed!
No doubt Ezekiel directed some of his message toward the kingdom of Judah, at that time threatened by the Babylonian Empire. But parts of his message were unmistakably directed to the "whole house of Israel"-all 12 tribes (Ezekiel 39:25)-and are applicable to the time of the end.
