This chapter is a judgment on false confidence, it looks at what God thinks of those who put their hopes and confidence in the words that come out of man's lips, when it just doesn't check out with the Word of God. It is a warning, for when God has written in his word the prophecies that will come, and man changes them, to give others false hope, there will be judgment on them.

Ezekiel 11:1 "Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the Lord's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I was Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, prince of the people."

We are back at the same place that Chapter ten placed us. We are at the east gate, looking across the valley of Kedron at the mount of Olives, in this vision. Standing there at the gate are twenty five men, and all of these men are the top brass of the church and the community. they are the ones that when they speak you just don't question what they are saying.

You have to understand their names translated fully in the Hebrew, or you miss what is being driven at here. Remember "Jaazaniah" in the Hebrew means "heard of God", the guy that goes around saying "God spoke to me and he told me to park my car over hear...or as such", or what ever he is trying to impress people with that day. Does it sound familiar?

"Azur", in the Hebrew tongue means "helpful". When "Pelatiah" talks to you, his name means "Salvation". You think you can count on a mans words with a handle like that. Then in the name "Benaiah" we have "God has built". So in the end what do we have from these names? "Heard from God"; "very helpful"; "God has delivered"; and "God has built", does it sound like the tribe in most churches?

"All you have to do is believe, and have faith", but faith in what? To most of them it is faith in their church system. Friend it had better be well grounded in the whole word of God, with the overall working plan of the word of God. So these men are the ones in full power, respectable, and so called grounded in God's Word.

Now what does God think of these fine pillars of the community and church?

Ezekiel 11:2 "Then said He unto me, "Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:"

We're in the "holy city", and in these end times, the very "churches of God". If you thing you are going to get out of this flesh life and not face the Antichrist and his system, you are sadly mistaken. You are not going to fly out like the birdies, but you will leave in the fashion of what is written in Ecclesiastes 12:7, by the parting of that silver cord when the soul leaves this flesh body, and returns immediately to be with the Lord [death], or you will live right through the entire time of the Antichrist, and you will observe all of the events and signs of these end times.

Those who tell you differently are men of mischief and wicked counsel. Those are men giving the traditions of men. They are the "Jaazaniahs" of today, who go around with their special messages from God, when God has not said that. When we get into chapter thirteen we will see what god thinks of the Jaazaniahs and their rapture, fly away doctrine, to save their souls. God calls it an abomination. Its blasphemy.

Ezekiel 11:3 "Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh."

These men tell you every thing is Okay; there is time to build our houses; the end time prophecies don't pertain to us, for we will be out of here. A caldron is the pot, and we are the flesh that uses the pot. They like to give you a false sense of security to make you think that they have some sort of control over prophecy, and what is coming to pass. They control the "city", or "house of God", like a cook controls what goes into his caldron [cooking pot].

Ezekiel 11:4 "Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man."

God is telling Ezekiel, and us in these last days, to teach against them. You take your brush [your inkhorn] and continue marking in the minds of God's people the true Word of God.

The prophecy in Jeremiah's day was that the Babylonian captivity is going to take place, even though all the Jaazaniahs of the day prophesied God Word. The same false prophets are filling the land and the churches with the same sense of false security, only the outcome will be far more severe; for to be misled in these last days, and give yourself over to the false Christ will claim your very soul. Do you get the picture?

Just as sure as the hour of temptation will come, even more so will God build a wall around you that none of Satan's spiritual darts will reach you. When you have God's word in your mind, Satan, the Antichrist will not even be tempting to you.

Ezekiel 11:5 "And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said unto me, "Speak; Thus saith the Lord; 'Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your , every one of them."

If you think this applies only to the Jews, God is addressing this message to "O House of Israel", and that includes all the Christian nations. At the time of Ezekiels writing of this vision, the tribes of the "O House of Israel" had been scattered abroad over three hundred years. Though these so called "lost tribes" are hidden to the Christian world of today, they are not hidden from God. God knows what is in the mind of every soul of the house of Israel, and He knows the abominations that is being taught.

Ezekiel 11:6 "Ye have multiplied you slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain." 

Those slain are those that are slain spiritually, with lies and hypocrisy they are dead in every way to God truth, because they never study the word of God chapter by chapter, but rely on the one verse Jaazaniah's run around spouting forth. How in the world can you have each detail of the word made known, when you jump all over the word, and pick and choose only what fits you imaginations. The hour is late, and the prophecies of the end times are becoming events of history, as time passes.

Ezekiel 11:7 "Therefore thus saith the Lord God; 'Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it."

They are not slain physically, but mentally, and spiritually.

Ezekiel 11:8 "Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord God."

You look for a physical sword, however the sword of the end times is with words, ideas, and concepts. The sword of the end times that will come from the Antichrist and his system is his false doctrines, and deceptions. And when you fall on that sword, then God sword will come down on you. The sword of God is all the prophecies that He has promised from cover to cover in His word, that will fall upon you when you fall to Satan's sword.

Ezekiel 11:9 "And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you."

The war of deception and lies has already begun, If you can't see the difference between what is taught im most churches today, and what God's Word teaches, then you must be asleep. The war that Satan has is between the his system, and Christians. Why would he war against people that are already his. The spiritual fight is in the church house, not not in the bar room.

God is about to bring judgments against the House of Israel, the Christians, and He will use the strangers to execute that Judgment. That judgment is covered fully in Ezekiel 38 and 39. That stranger is "rosh" [Russia] and her allies of nations.

Ezekiel 11:10 "Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord."

The house of Israel, the Christian nations are going to fall by the sword, only the sword in in the form of words such as peace, peace, peace. We are sitting back and letting the enemy take one third of the wealth of this nation for the sake of a false peace, that God says will not happen. The only peace that comes is by surrendering to the Antichrist, and his system.

As the king of Babylon of the end times [the Antichrist] stands and claims boldly that he has brought peace to the world; Russia and her allies Ezekiel 38-39 will be tooling up for an onslaught to eliminate all the Christian nations. Will she be successful? God says here, "I will judge you [Russia] at the border of Israel [The Christian nations], and ye shall know that I am the Lord."

Ezekiel 11:11 "this city shall not be you caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the border of Israel:"

Judah has returned to Palestine and established there the tiny nation of Israel, however these people are the House of Judah in end time prophecy. The mix up seems to come because the church world refuses to believe Genesis 48-50. In chapter forty eight is recorded where Jacob [Israel] blessed the two children of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, and passed the Abrahamic blessing on from himself to these two children. Jacob adopted them as his own.

Then in Genesis 49:25; "Even by the God of thy father, Who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, Who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessing of the breasts, and for the womb." This is the Covenant that God gave to Ephraim and Manasseh, and not to Judah. Then verse twenty six seals the blessings on the head of Joseph.

Genesis 49:26; "The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brethren." To find out then where these people of the House of Israel, the so called lost ten tribes are, God identifies them in Hosea 1:10.

Hosea 1:10; "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not My People, there it shall be said unto them, "ye are the sons of the living God." " They will be very numerous, which lets out the Jews, they will be in a place where it is said of the "Ye are not my People"; and the Christian world denies any attachment with Israel, However, they will be know as the "sons of the living God", and the living God is Jesus Christ. They will be know as "Christians".

I have gone through these verses to show that the "border of Israel", is not referring to that tiny nation of Israel, with the population of less that many of our cities, but the United States, and the British nations, which feeds the world with its blessings, and controls the gates of the world.

Ezekiel 11:12 "And ye shall know that I am the Lord: for ye have not walked in My statutes, neither executed My judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you."

The purpose of all the judgment that will fall upon us, is that we, as well as the world will know that "I am the Lord". Not Satan, but the Almighty Father. The Christian nations have left the instructions of God's word and have taken on the traditions of men, and all sorts of heathen practices, as is addressed in Chapters eight and nine. They have joined themselves in union to all the heathen nations of the world [United Nations], and they have departed from the word of God.

Ezekiel 11:13 "And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died, Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"

While Ezekiel was out in the streets and amongst the people telling them what God had just told him, Pelatiah dies. God said it would happen, and now Ezekiel has an object lesson to show that God means what he said. Because this man said that God told his this or that, when it wasn't so, God killed him right on the spot. Right when the prophecy was delivered.

We are coming to the scattering of the latter rain, and God doesn't like it when you play church. When this happened, it shocked Ezekiel. Ezekiel saw that it appeared that the entire community was going around doing the same thing, trying to one up the other. It this continued, the entire religious community would be killed.

Apply this to the church world today. If it happened today, how many people and pastors would be left? It is a shame and a hypocrisy what is going on in the church houses across our land, in the name of God, and the people seem to enjoy it. It is all done in the name of Religion.

Ezekiel 11:14 "Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,"

Ezekiel 11:15 "Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Get you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given in possession.' "

Now put you thinking caps on; this is addressed to the whole Israel, all the tribes of both houses, and are of the offspring of Jacob. Ezekiel is calling attention to the fact the the "inhabitants of Jerusalem", the Kenites are putting the claim that Jerusalem is their possession and given by God. How do they assume that God gave it to them? This is what the books of Ezra and Nehemiah is all about; for the Kenites [Nethinim] had infiltrated the ranks of both the scribes [I Chronicles 2:55], and the priests from top to bottom, and then they changed the records, and attached themselves to the record. they took over the area of Ophel and the tower, where the priest were to reside.

Now in the end times they have infiltrated the Christianity community and placed the idea that they are the chosen, and promised, and that the Christian "house of Israel" are the Gentile, and the Christian world has believed the lie. Don't forget who these Kenites are, they are the offspring to Satan, all the way back to the Garden of Eden, with Eve. That is the parable of the fig tree that Jesus told us to learn, in Matthew 24:32.

Ezekiel 11:16 "Therefore say, 'Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.' "

God is saying that though I scatter you all over the world, and mixed you up with all the countries, you will God as you sanctuary where you are. This is a promise that no matter where you are, God is with you. He is your place of peace and comfort. That sanctuary is a sanctuary strength, which is the Holy Spirit within you. It is Him that allows you to stand your ground, and for the strengthening of His band of believers.

Ezekiel 11:17 "Therefore say, 'Thus saith the Lord God, I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."

This is not talking about that tiny area of Palestine called "Israel", that the mixture of Judah and Kenite now posses, but the Christian lands and countries that are being taken from them by these theirs, calling themselves the United Nation. This is talking about the "House of Israel" the brothers to Judah.

God bless America, and her people, for God is saying that He will give this land to His people. This applies to all Christian nations that love and respect the Heavenly Father, and to their people and their lands. You have the lands because God gave it to you, not because of some Indian war, or other conflict, but because God paved the path, and made it possible for us to be where we are.

God is using our nation to bless the entire world, when we should have been bankrupt as a nation years ago, the blessings keep pouring from the Christian nation to every part of the world, and God keeps the blessing flowing also into our land. It boggles the minds of men how things are working, but they are.

Ezekiel 11:18 "And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence."

This has not yet come to pass as of yet, but the Christians are speaking out and getting rid of one abomination at a time. We cried out against the removal of God from the schools, the killing of the unborn, the letting Sodomites take over the society, and on and on. As Christians pray, and stand their ground, God will continue to give us victory these things, as a nation.

Ezekiel 11:19 "And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:"

If you submit yourself to the things and people of the world, then it is they that will have the say to whatever blessings and curses you receive.

Ezekiel 11:20 "That they may walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be My People, and I will be their God."

It is one thing to talk about Gods statutes and laws but it is another thing to do it. Learn them and then do them. When you follow God's way, then God blesses you for it.

Ezekiel 11:21 "But as for them whose heart wolketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord God."

But for those that want to continue to wallow in their present conditions, and chase after the heathenistic practices, God will put His judgments on their own head. The time is coming when God will let you chase after Satan, in fact God will blind you from truth, if that is what you want to do.

Ezekiel 11:22 "Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above."

This is the last words that God spoke to Ezekiel while on earth, then the cheribums, in their smaller vehicles, and the Throne of God, and the main vehicle lifter off the earth. the final words were that if they [those calling themselves Christians] continue in their abominations, God will let it all come down on their own heard. You will reap what you sow.

Ezekiel 11:23 "And the glory of the Lord went up form the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city."

This is the same place where Jesus Christ stood, when he lifted his hand, and was taken into heaven.

Ezekiel 11:24 "Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me."

When the vision was completed, this same spirit that took Ezekiel to Jerusalem, brought him back to Babylon. This is a type of what the book of Revelation is all about. For the Babylon of the end times is Satan's one world order, which controls the whole world, just as the Babylon of Ezekiel's time did. That world wide system of the last days Babylon is already upon us, and out of this political system [beast], will come the religious order that will put the entire world in bondage to it.

Ezekiel is now not in the spirit of the vision any longer.

Ezekiel 11:25 "Then I spake to them of the captivity all the things that the Lord had shewed me."

Ezekiel told the people around him all the things that God had showed him, and it is for us today to alert those around us of the world bondage that is coming upon us. To wake up the people around us to the things that God calls an abomination to Him.

Before we will see the freedom of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom on earth in the Millennium age, we will see a time of world captivity. You know about it, and God said that if you blind your eyes to what He has said, He will make it come down on your head. You will become part of the system, and the property of Satan.

If you really want to be of value to god in these end days, then study His Word, and get to know the signs and events of these days, and know what you are to say, and when to keep your mouth closed. Learn what is precious to Him, and what is an abomination to God..
