God uses very graphic analogy and terminology concerning two sisters. Most pastors today say; "We just don't talk that way in our church, it's to evil." If that is the case, your church just doesn't teach the Word of God. Friend, this is God doing the talking, and He is trying to get your attention.  You should make no apologies for anything written in our Father's Word. The Words of the Scriptures must be taught exactly as given by God, through the Spirit of God to the Prophets.

The whole purpose of this chapter is that you can come to know the emotions of our Eternal God. God wants you to know how He feels about certain things that you do. Your heavenly Father has feelings, and He expects you to relate to them.

At God's appointed time you will be judged.  To God's elect, that judgment is the gift of eternal life, becoming joint heirs with Christ.  However, when that judgment does come, don't put yourself in the position of being judged on the things given in this chapter. This is the chapter that tells us what is on the top of the list that He doesn't like.

Ezekiel 23:1 "The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,"

Ezekiel 23:2 "Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:"

There are two daughters that came from the same mother, and that mother is Israel [the nation]. To get a little background on these daughters, there is a little history that you must understand.

After the time of the Judges, the nation of Israel, all of the tribes placed themselves under a monarchy, with king Saul being the first king. Israel had three kings that ruled over the entire Israel, and these kings were Saul, David, and David's son, king Solomon, who built the Temple of God.

When King Solomon died, there was a conflict over who would rule, and take Solomon's throne, and this conflict ended in civil war. The conflict was much like our war between the States, only in the end, the nation of Israel was split into two nations. To the north was the "House of Israel", which comprised of all the tribes except the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin. The king of the House of Israel was king Jeroboam, while the king of the House of Judah was king Rehoboam. Keep in mind that the tribe of Levi was scattered amongst all the tribes. They were the tribe of the Levitical priests.

The "House of Judah" was then the small nation to the south, and it was made up of those two tribes of Judah and Benjamin. From the time of the split of Israel into the two houses, the trouble started from the beginning, for is centered over the worship practice of going to the Temple in Jerusalem, and worshipping as God had commanded them, by His instructions through Moses. King Jeroboam of the House of Israel, with its capital city Samaria, did not want his subjects to go to Jerusalem, because he feared the people would desire to return to join with the tribes to the south, and form one nation again.

In Genesis 49:10, the scepter was passed from Jacob to Judah, and Judah had the right to rule, and make the laws, However we saw in Genesis 48:17-22 that it would be the two tribes of Joseph that would receive the Abrahamic covenant blessings. So we see here a thousand years after the blessing and scepter promises were passed on from Jacob, Israel is split, with one of the houses, the "house of Israel" having the Abrahamic covenant blessing, while the other house, the "House of Judah" retained the right to rule and make the laws. Can you see how the conflict is starting to boil? The tribe of Judah would not give up her God given rights and submit to the tribe of Ephraim [Joseph].

When the split came, the first thing that was done by king Jeroboam of "House of Israel" [the ten tribes to the north], was to set up a different form of worship To assist in this, the tribe of Dan made two golden calves, as recorded in I Kings 12:28, and placed one in the area of Dan, and the other in Bethel. So we see coming out the gate, that the House of Israel went directly into many forms of idolatry. In 722 B.C. the "House of Israel" was scattered by the Assyrians, and as the Israelites left, Assyria filled the land with foreigners of other lands [nations], and at the time of Christ they were known as Samarians.

In due time, the "House of Judah" fell into the same pattern of idolatry, only Judah became much worse in the end; and put judgment on the House of Judah. God used His servant king Nebuchadnezzar and his Babylonian army to captured Judah, and killed the king.

So we will see that God dealt separately with each of these two houses, for in the book of Hosea we see that God kept Judah to wife, and He divorced the house if Israel.

Ezekiel 23:3 "And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity."

This is in reference to Israel as a nation, while in Egypt in captivity. When in Egypt, Israel grew from twelve families, to tribal status, and into the nation of Israel. It was there that they learned the different forms of idolatry, that was practiced by many of them in the wilderness during their wonderings.

In the futuristic sense, Paul talked about this in II Corinthians 11:2; "For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ." Paul said that this may sound like foolishness to some of you, but I want to present you to the True Messiah as a chased virgin, and not as the serpent beguiled [wholly seduced] Eve through his subtlety [verse three].

The analogy is adultery, and whoredoms, and the fact is idolatry. The analogy being used to express God's feelings and emotions toward false religions. God's wrath and fury toward those that follow the instruction of some other religion, or idolatry. God loves the whole world and gave us all things, including the breath we breathe, and it makes Him jealous when His own children chase into idolatry.

Ezekiel 23:4 "And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah."

"Aholah" in the Hebrew means "her [my] tent", and the elder of the two houses is the "House of Israel", the ten tribes to the north. The term, "My tent" is in reference to the fact that they refused to go to Jerusalem to worship, and they stayed at home and created their own religious form with the two golden calves.

"Aholibah" in the Hebrew means "My tabernacle is in her". In the capital city [Jerusalem] of Judah, the "House of Judah, was the Temple of God, where God required the whole house to go and worship.

Both of these houses were God's possession, Israel. Samaria is the location, the capital of the ten tribes of the House of Israel, and Jerusalem is the capital of the younger sister, Aholibah, which is the house of Judah. this is addressed to two geographic location, but it is directed to the peoples that make their capital Samaria and Jerusalem.

The ten tribes, the house of Israel "has her own tent', she has her own religious form, and does her own way, separate for God's ways. In fact these ten tribes were scattered by Assyria and migrated through the Caucasus mountains, and on to settle western Europe, and the Americas, and they don't even know who they are today. They call themselves "Caucasians", after the event, but on the whole they think it refers to a race. They are the majority of the whole house of Israel, and that is why they were called the House of Israel. Today they have no idea where they came from, and thus they have difficulty in understanding any Bible prophecy at all.

So if an entire population forgets who they are in this day and age, they become listless and useless for God's use in the spiritual battle of the end times. There is very little way that they can please God totally, without being familiar with God's word, and His plan.

So we have the two sisters and we know who they represent; the elder [Samaria] the House of Israel, and the younger [Jerusalem] the House of Judah.

Ezekiel 23:5 "And Aholah played the harlot when she was Mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,"

Samaria, the northern house of Israel played the harlot when she was yet part of God's children; she worshipped the two calves. Remember in Chapter fourteen, the Assyrian was a type of Antichrist, he was Satan in the end time. Though this can be applied to the historical fall of the house of Israel, this whole chapter is a type in the future sense. In the end of this age both sisters will play the harlot, and that is why II Corinthians 11 is important in understanding this chapter. Paul was not talking about the sin that is spoken of there, but of the virgin bride that is made up of believers that will be presented to Christ as His virgin bride when He returns. That was addressed to those who are living in the final generation, just as this twenty third chapter is.

Ezekiel 23:6 Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses."

Aholah, or Samaria had a stable of young lovers that just wouldn't quit. This means that she had commerce with them, trade agreements, and religious intercourse. She had picked up all of the religious forms, relics and heathen ways of worship, and then pretended that they were of God. It is time that we be very careful and not accept those things that seem to be very religious, and just do not have their roots in the word of God.

Ezekiel 23:7 "Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself."

Her whoredoms are her idolatry. These were the finest men in the world of religion, industry and commerce. This sister, Aholah just couldn't leave their religions alone, and she had to play the role of the harlot in the eyes of the men of Assyria [Satan, the Antichrist].

Keep in mind that when Ezekiel was writing this, the House of Israel had been scattered for several hundred years. This is prophecy that is playing out in the events of our generation. The Assyrian is Satan the Antichrist, while those "chosen men" of Satan are his children the Kenites. They are the ones that place the idols and false doctrine before her, and she defiled herself by them.

Another point to focus on, is the fact that this House of Israel is not the Jews, but they are the Christian nations, they are the ones that call themselves "Caucasians" today. They are the ten tribes that went north, and then through the Caucasus mountains and migrated to the northwest to settle western Europe. They were known by many names such as Celts, Scathyians, Cimmerons, Brits, and so on, but they all were called Caucasians after the event of the migration through the Caucasian mountains. It is sad when we see the things taught in so-called church systems as the word of God. God's people today have lost the memory of the event, and think the name is an race of peoples.

Ezekiel 23:8 "Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her."

It seems that these people just never learn. Israel practiced these whoredoms in the wilderness, that she brought out of Egypt eight hundred years prior to the Assyrian scattering, and the same whoredoms of the wilderness, are those we see today. The placing of man made idols that are between you and God, and allowing them to be the focus of your religious life and attention.

Lying with her and bruising her is the false teaching and traditions that are absorbed, and have become difficult to purge from their minds. Traditions that come from heathen rites and culture have become a way of life to the Christian world today. People think that if it came from your parents it must be so, and this is the attitude that is taken; and they stumble blindly through their traditions.

Ezekiel 23:9 "Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted."

Think now, if she has produced sons and daughters, as is stated; the analogy is to whoredoms, when in fact what it is talking about is the worshipping practices of these people. So lets apply the analogy here, if she has been laying with everything that has come along, from the earliest times in Egypt, then who are her children? By the word "children", we are referring to her religious practices. Physically they didn't do this, but this is an analogy, and we are talking about religious practices of every heathen custom that they came in contact with. Many of those practices are still common in most Christian churches today.

A good example of this is what is called "Scripture followers". They believe that if they can find a verse to back up what they want to do, it become something of God. Even though they take it out of context, and stretch and twist the word to make it fit. This is how Satan works with half truths, and God is saying that if you want to play games with His word, then He will deliver you into the hand of your harlot lovers, these Kenites.

The Scriptures that we call the Bible is an entire story of God plan for the ages that we all will go through. Because of the sins and fall in the first earth age, all souls must enter and go through this flesh earth age. Satan fell in that first earth age, and was judged and sentenced to die, and that is why he is called the "son of perdition". He knows he is going to die, and he wants to take you with him. This is why he tempted Eve in the garden, and this is why sin entered into the world. Through that sexual relationship with Eve, Cain was born, and Cain's offspring are the ones who are the Kenites, and they are kept alive by God as the negative part of God's plan.

Once you understand this simple pattern, you will see how it is interwoven through out the entire Scripture. Now every evil deed that man can think of is recorded as part of the Bible, and to take a part of the Scripture as the basis of your action, requires that you know the subject and object that is spoken of, and that you keep that verse in proper context, or it becomes and lie, and an abomination to God. Remember that an abomination is when you attribute something to God when it is of the devil, or the other way around. When you take one sentence, or word and build it to say what pleases you, then you become no better then our ancient forefathers in their whoredoms, that is being talked about in this chapter.

Don't stray from the point covered here. This is only an analogy, it did not happen but it is a story to show us living in the last generation how they played around with false religions, so that we will prepare ourselves not to do as they did.

Ezekiel 23:10 "These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her."

If we take the analogy of the ninth verse and apply it here, it would say that these foreigners took this woman and stripped her down and took her sons and daughters and killed her with a sword. By this act she became famous among women. If you were not familiar with the subject and the object of this entire chapter, this verse could not be understood. You could even turn it into a novel though.

However we know why they discovered her nakedness, and that is because she was whoring around with other religions. The whoredom is the act of worshipping strange gods and practices; and she does it because she doesn't know God's word. She is to lazy to study it, and allows strangers [Kenites] to interpret it for her. In ignorance she had been sampling all religions that passes her by.

Once again this "she" is the "House of Israel", that we know to be the Christian nations of today, and all those that call themselves "Christians". This is not in reference to God's elect, for they know the truth.

One example of this is the way the many Christians are accepting reincarnation blindly. They think that they have lived in a time past in the flesh, and that is impossible, because you can die only once in the flesh. When you allow this to enter your mind, you are embracing demonic possession. That is all it is. That thought and revelation that came to your mind is not from your experience, but a familiar spirit, one of Satan's evil Spirits that possessed another's mind many years prior.

The prophet Samuel reveals to us what God calls this in I Samuel 15:23; "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft [which is divination or necromancy; i.e. dealings with spirits], and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry, because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord..." You have rejected the word of the Lord in ignorance, does this make you innocent? Not when you have allow others to misinterpret God's word for you. This is what God is saying that this is the whoredoms that "Aholah", the "house of Israel" [Christians] are committing.

When these demonics enter our mind, Jesus tells us we are to order them out in His name. Yet many Christians say that it is a revelation from God, or I remember such and such that happened over 400 years ago. If you allow these thoughts to continue, you are demon possessed. Friend this is an abomination before God.

Ezekiel 23:11 "And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms."

Aholibah, the "House of Judah" was the house that carried the staff, the ruler ship and the law and they should have known better, but they didn't. They watched as the northern House of Israel joined themselves into whoredoms of idolatries, and then they went out and did likewise, only they they sinned to a greater degree. When Aholibah saw it being done, in the Hebrew text, it means that she not only saw what was being done, but she understood what she had done. She learned the tricks of the trade, and then took them to a greater degree.

Ezekiel 23:12 "She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbors, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men."

Aholibah saw all the strange and foreign religious practices, and she took part in them. She defiled herself, and tasted of every religious form and made it part of hers. These Jews did the same as the Northern tribes, only they went far greater, for they allowed these Nethinims [Kenites] to come in and take over the very duties that God had given the Levites. They became the scribes and priests of God's temple. God's temple was in Jerusalem the capital of the "House of Judah", and they were the watchman at the gates of the house of God, yet they allowed themselves to be deceived by Satan's very own children, the Kenites. This is what the books of Ezra and Nehemiah are all about.

Ezekiel 23:13 "Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,"

The House of Judah tried to take all these other forms of worship, and make them into a common form of worship. She tried to take heathen practices and doctrines and ascribe it to, of make it blend with what is in God's Word.

Ezekiel 23:14 "And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,"

She looked upon her form of religious practices, and then she looked at the other religious forms, with their bright piercing, red fancy gowns and forms of worship, and idolatry, she had to take them one step better. Just because something is beautiful, doesn't make it good, or right.

Ezekiel 23:15 "Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:"

This is directed to the Kenites, the merchants of Tyre, and the controllers of trade. These Kenites were wealthy, and you could tell it by what they did and wore. These Kenites put on a good show, and offered them exactly what they wanted. In paying that price in Babylon, Judah gave the house of God over to them. They became the scribes [I Chronicles 2:55], and as we saw in Ezra and Nehemiah, the priests.

Ezekiel 23:16 "And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea."

The House of Judah advertised her temple, and sensually in love [doted] chased after these false religions with full knowledge of what she was doing.

Ezekiel 23:17 "And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them."

Once they had set up the practices, and spoiled and polluted the forms that God had instructed them, they set themselves aside from her. However the damage was done. She had come to depend on not God's word, but the heathen doctrine and practice that was taught them by these Nethinims.

Ezekiel 23:18 "So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then My mind was alienated from her, like as My mind was alienated from her sister."

Then once she, the "House of Judah" discovered how far off she had gone off of God's plan, did this stop her? No she just kept going in the same direct. God then turned His mind from her, because her ways were not God's ways, and she was doing just as the "House of Israel had done. God is saying that He is now setting His mind away from her.

Ezekiel 23:19 "Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt."

Judah always runs back to her same old practices that she picked up in the land of Egypt. When pier pressure comes and the traditions of men come, she runs right back to where she was. It happens today just as it did in ancient times.

Ezekiel 23:20 "For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses."

Do you know what this really says in the Hebrew? She acts like a bunch of animals in heat, chasing after strange religions. Today people make fools of themselves over strange religions, like a animal in heat. They excite themselves over humanism, evolution, the rapture doctrine, reincarnation and many other forms of dogma that is not in God's word. The so called Bible book stores are full of them, and the seminar circuit is growing rich over them. Many Christian churches and book store owners are like a wild ass in heat, to gain their profits, and draw some poor ignorant soul off into another religious form of whoredoms. There shelves are full of teachings that try to show shortcuts and alternates to God's Word. Ways that look so good, yet are not in God's Word.

Ezekiel 23:21 "Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth."

Remember that both of the two sister were to be Christ's bride at His return to earth, however, they both ended up to be harlots in the eyes of God. The lewdness of both the House of Israel and the House of Judah started when they were building into one nation in the land of Egypt, and it was there that they started to take on all forms of idolatry, which they refused to depart from even to this day, as a nation.

Though this is aimed at the sisters on a national basis, individually we can repent of everything that stands between Him and us, and that love of God will draw you into a close fellowship with Him. That is a bond and fellowship that is real and comforting to the soul, and in these final days of this earth age, it gives us something that the world can not.

Ezekiel 23:22 "Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord God; 'Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;"

Aholibah is the House of Judah, or the Jews, and in history this has come to pass many times. The Babylonians scattered her and took them captive, the Romans, the Germans in World War II, and it shall come to pass very shortly again. God said that it is He that brings these things to pass on them, because of the whoredoms that they have committed. The greatest is the allowing of the scribe and priestly duties to be turned over to the Nethinim [Kenites].

Ezekiel chapters 37 and 39 tells of a time in the near future when God will join both Houses back together, and He will draw them to Himself. That appointed time is at His coming, and not before. The artificial means being tried through the United Nations, and the One world order will fail, however it will be fused temporally by the Antichrist, only at that time the true elect of God will not be part of those commitments.

Ezekiel 23:23 "The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses."

These people named here represent all the people of the world. The Babylonians are all the religious orders, while the Chaldeans are those of the wise and intellectual system. The Pekod is the rich, and the Shoa [the he camels] or working class, and the Koa are the poor and indigent. Notice at the end of the list are the Kenites. They all come riding to Aholibah [Jerusalem] with their whoredoms, and find comfort there. There is not much difference today as there has been in biblical times.

It seem that God's people tries to make room for all peoples, and welcome them to bring on their forms of worship with them. What Israel sees and likes, she adopts as her own. Christians today like to be noticed, and have their notoriety placed with the renowned. The will even sell out to be placed with the ruler, lords and captains of the world today. Don't let this happen in your life, for the world has rejected our Lord, and and they will reject you also if you reject their whoredoms. After all, our heavenly Father is the noblest of all, and He is your closest kin, once your saved.

Ezekiel 23:24 "And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments."

When you are judged according to the judgments of the world, it will not be a fair judgment. Their standards are not God's standard, and they use those judgments to set their agenda, and not to establish God's ways.

Ezekiel 23:25 "And I will set My jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire,"

This is what it is all about, our God is a jealous God, and He looks at any form of idolatry as a form of whoredoms against Him. God is asking you, How would you like to have a beautiful young daughter, or bride to be, and watch her go whoring after every thing that came down the road wearing shoes. Could you face the fact of your daughter becoming a harlot in your home? It would make you jealous and full of fury, and God is telling us that that is exactly how it makes Him feel.

Should it happen, you could not stand to be around her, and you would put her aside. Friend, God's jealousy is building right now, and the time is coming very shortly when He will take His bride, His elect, those that are sealed in their mind with the truth of His word, and protect them with His wall of the Spirit of God, and then God will turn over to Satan all the rest of humanity, and they will be stung as the scorpion stings. Their minds will spiritually turn to much. [see Revelation 9:4-10]

The last part of verse twenty five deals with those that were born and raised in a false religion, and later you became aware that it was not right and left that religion, yet your sons and daughters were also brought up in that form. When you came out of those ways, the fire of that false teaching stayed in the minds of your children, and even though your saw the error, your children can not, and that false doctrine shall cause them to follow the Antichrist, and in the judgment of God, that error will cause them to lose their very soul. Many times today, when a person leaves one church because they see the error of their doctrine, that church will tell your children to disown you. This is what God is relating to us here.

Ezekiel 23:26 "They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels."

This chapter is an analogy of two harlots, and the power of the harlot is in her clothes and fair jewels. That is what makes her seductive, and desirable to the passer by. God is saying that they are going to take you and teach you something like the rapture theory, and you will wake up and find that you have nothing. When you take away the doctrines that you and your children held dear, you came into the truth but they did not. Then you will not even to be able to reach your children.

Ezekiel 23:27 "Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more."

Ezekiel 23:28 "For thus saith the Lord God; 'Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:"

Ezekiel 23:29 "And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms."

What God is talking about here is the time coming shortly when an entire religion will drift totally into the apostasy. The apostasy is the falling away from seeking after Christ, and accepting the Antichrist as the true Christ. Your righteous acts make up the garment that you will wear in heaven, and when you bow to the Antichrist you throw all of your righteous acts and rewards at the feet of Satan, the Antichrist, and you will stand before God in judgment, naked. You will have no righteous acts and deeds to your name.

Ezekiel 23:30 "I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols."

God will do this because you went chasing after their "idols". Those idols are traditions, doctrines, and the trinkets that hold some religious value to you, and stand between you and Him.

Ezekiel 23:31 "Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.' "

Both sisters will have the same bitter disappointment under the Antichrist's religious order.

Ezekiel 23:32 "Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.."

Can you understand now what Jesus meant when He said, "Woe to you that are with child when I return." You will stand there in scorn, and there is nothing that you can do about it. You have bowed to the Antichrist, and your spiritually are standing naked before Christ and His elect showing what you have done. Friend those acts will be with you "deep and large", for a very long time. You will face them every day of the Millennium age, until the time of Judgment, then it will be by your works that you receive your eternal life, and not by the grace of God, for you through that away when you bowed to the Antichrist.

Being with child is beautiful when it is conceived with love between the mates, however when it marks the acts of adultery and whoredoms, it is another matter. This is spiritually what God is relating.

Ezekiel 23:33 "Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria."

Both Houses will be deceived, for this is the time of the great apostasy, when the whole world will follow the Antichrist.

Ezekiel 23:34 "Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God."

This is a Hebrew expression where it is God that will destroy the forms of their idolatry, and they will not have that opportunity. Their opportunity is gone, grace is taken from them.

Ezekiel 23:35 "Therefore thus saith the Lord God; 'Behold thou hast forgotten Me, and cast Me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.' "

God is reminding you that there are two ways to follow, and you have forgotten the only true way. That way is spelled out in His word, and the other way is wide and includes all the forms of whoredoms that can enter a mans [woman's] mind. God is saying you have forgotten Him, and taken that way of lewdness and whoredoms.

Ezekiel 23:36 "The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;"

We are to be bold and speak up with the analogy that God has set forth in this chapter, that they can see their shame.

Ezekiel 23:37 "That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto Me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them."

Remember the teaching of Moloch?, the threatening of your children with hell fire, to make them mind you. God didn't say that, it came from your mind, and that is what is meant; "to pass for them through the fire, to devour them." Teach God's love for them, and not the fire that is set for Satan and his followers. A child cannot go to hell if they have not reached the age of accountable, and don't use such ignorance to put a fear of God in them, when it is a lie, for you will be the one who is held accountable for those words spoken.

Ezekiel 23:38 "Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths."

God's sanctuary is His church, and the Sabbaths are the days of rest that we have in Jesus Christ.

Ezekiel 23:39 "For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house."

The slaying of their children was caused by their traditions of men and false doctrine, and they not only teach it in their homes, by they come to church and carry on the same profanities as they did at home. What God is saying here is that they have turned God's house into a whore house.

Ezekiel 23:40 "And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,"

This is happening today, friend. What we have here is a couple of old harlots that have continued to paint themselves up, and put on their ornaments to continue their practice.

Ezekiel 23:41 "And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set Mine incense and Mine oil."

God's oil given for strength and protection, is taken and used in harlotry. This is an analogy of false teachings in the church of God, and He doesn't like it at all.

Ezekiel 23:42 "And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads."

Most of the Christian world, including is to lazy to study the word of God, and they would rather sit around and accept whatever crumbs of doctrine anyone throws their way. They are lazy and they seek shortcuts to God's ways. The want to mix the things of God and the things of the world. They are perfectly happy with the religious forms that have been passed on from the forefathers, and ignorant of the overall plan of God.

They have joined with the common sort, and the drunkards [Sabeans] of religion from the world system. Their worship is wild and in disarray just like they were in the wilderness. We better take the time to understand the false crowns and breastplates of this generation, as recorded in Revelation nine. We have here two harlots all dressed up, and sitting on their beds; but do they have any takers?

Ezekiel 23:43 "Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, 'Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?"

Though they say, those are the old ways, and they down grade the old whoredoms that once filled the church, the old traditions of the forefathers and the things that they picked up in their idolatries of years past.

Ezekiel 23:44 "Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women."

Ezekiel 23:45 "And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands."

The blood that is lost in harlotry are your children. They became lost because of their early indoctrination and teaching in false doctrines. The life of a body is in the blood, and this is a spiritual life, and the life of that child is the loss of his [her] soul. We are talking about a religion, and life of a harlot is the spiritual activity of chasing after things that go against God's word. This is an analogy to let us understand what God thinks of chasing after those idolatrous practices.

Ezekiel 23:46 "For thus saith the Lord God; 'I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled."

God is saying that when this is practiced, they will be taken away and be taken captive. It happened in the past, and God is assuring you that it will happen again. This will occur when the Antichrist comes, and if you continue in idolatry, God will give you over to the Antichrist, Satan.

Ezekiel 23:47 "And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire."

We are talking about the sword of apostasy, and the sword of Babylon of the end times. That sword is of words and doctrines and the battlefield will be in your mind. It is coming upon us now, and in the near future there will be no compromise. The burning will be at the end of this earth age when all flesh will be done away with and in the wink of an eye all will be in their spiritual bodies [I Corinthians 15:50-52].

God will call the devil himself to be His servant to chastise the people, because the refused to leave their whoredoms, and follow Him. The sad thing is who they will think the Antichrist is, they think he is the Messiah, because they have been taught this in their little old church houses to accept the first Messiah to come. Their hope is to fly away with him, and leave the apostasy behind. They are blind to the fact that they will be here to the end.

Ezekiel 23:48 "Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness."

This takes place on the first day of the millennium age, and then God will use you as an example to the heathen nations. These people spoken of here are the ones that have not repented to God, while in their flesh, for had they repented they would not be standing as a harlot before God and the world.

Ezekiel 23:49 "And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord God.' "

This is a promise from God to you; you are not going to get off free. That is what is important, that you know that the True Lord is Lord, and know the difference between Jesus Christ the true Christ, and the fake, the Antichrist. If those so called Christians fall by ignorance in this flesh age, maybe by the end of the thousand year Millennium kingdom they will wake up to who the true Lord is. For if they fall then, there will be no hope.

This is the whole point, the difference between "instead of Jesus" [the Antichrist, Satan] and the True Jesus. Those that know the difference will make a stand against the Antichrist, and they will see through the deceptions and lies, and deceiving wonders.
