Ezekiel 35:1 "Moreover the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying,"
Ezekiel 35:2 "Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it," Our heavenly Father has instructed us to speak out against those things that would harm His sheep. What is this word, "Seir"? Strong's Hebrew dictionary, # 8163 tells us that it comes from the root word "he-goat", "hairy kid", or "shaggy kid". However, this is an analogy, and the way this is used in this verse, it is contrary to the actions of God's people. However when it is used in the Hebrew text, it refers to the "cleft of the rock", and that is where the "Kenites dwell. The "Kenites drive all nations of the earth from the "cleft of the rock", or a hiding place, or secrecy. God is prophesying against what is being done from these secret places. "Mount Seir" also refers to the nation of Edom [red, or Russia], and these people are the offspring of Esau, Jacob's brother. Ezekiel 35:3 "And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O mount seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out Mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate." The Russian people and their nation have always been in short supply of their basic needs. Even today, though Russia presents itself as controller of half the world, she comes to the nations of the free world [Christian Nations] as little more than a common beggar nation. This condition of the Russian people should be no surprise to Christians who read their Bibles. For God has always said that He was against them; and when God is against you, your in trouble. Communism has drained the Russian people of God's Word for three generations. However their are signs that many of the Russian people are turning to Christ. We should not rest in a false security over what is happening in Russia today, for shortly those borders again will slam shut, and a great war will take place. This sleeping bear will awake, and strike again. Within the next three chapters of Ezekiel, we will read where Russia will mount a force which will far exceed the one world system, in both armed forces and will. This 35th chapter leads us into the war that will come. That is why it is important to pay attention. Though we see a great opening in democracy, however, since President Franklin D. Roosevelt democracy has been moving far to the left. The democracy in many nations of the free world looks more to the left than Communism. Under the framework of the United Nations, democracy is becoming as Godless as Communism. The Communist party now accepts democracy because they now have similar goals, ideas, and God-hating laws. In the U.N., international democracy is the new name for Communism, and as such, these Kenite leaders stay away from the use of the old name of Communism. This is not a political statement, but a fact which stands out daily on the news. Ezekiel 35:4 "I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord." Again; this is the purpose of this chapter; "That thou shall know that I am the Lord". Most Christians today are illiterate of God's Word [the Bible]. God loves his people, and wants to protect them. the protection to be given to the House of Israel [Christian nations], and the house of Judah [Jews] will be only by God, for the Kenites are in the process of dismantling our forces. We will see later that through this action being done against God's people, it will actually return the Christian nations back to God. Ezekiel 35:5 "Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:" This is both historical, and for the future. God is making the statement, these Russians took advantage of My People, and I am aware of it. This term, "perpetual hatred" is stated many times in the Scripture, and in each case it is relating God's anger for Esau, and the Russian nation. See Malachi 1:2, 3; and Romans 9:13. It is because their father "Esau" had shown no pride in the value of God's inheritance that he was to receive. That inheritance is the promises that God gave to Abraham, which Esau equated to a bowl of mush. Russia will continue to sell themselves short. Do not be lulled to sleep with the words "peace, peace" being spoken everywhere. If the prophecy shepherds have taught you anything, you will know the "peace, peace, peace" comes just before sudden destruction. Ezekiel 35:6 "Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee." God is telling the Russian people that the shedding of much blood is coming. Sense you don't mind shedding others blood, in the end it will be their blood that will be shed. This we will read of in detail in Ezekiel 38 and 39. Russia has killed millions of God's people in her purges within her controlled borders. Under the banner of 'peace peace peace", God is being removed from all fabric of the free world, for it is open season on Christians. My friend, the seals of Revelation are being opened now, and the political beast of Revelation 13 is alive and well, and preparing the way for the religious beast. The religious beast is a one world system who will give all power and authority to it's sole ruler; who is Satan. If your fooling around, putting your faith in an rapture theory, to fly out of here, then Satan the Antichrist will be your Messiah, for you will not be prepared for what is coming. The Antichrist's rule will start at the fifth trumpet, and by that time we are well into the time of "Jacobs trouble". Revelation 9:1 tells us that the "Key" [or authority] that the star {Satan, the Antichrist] is from God. And included in that authority is Satan's power to release this massive army of fallen angels to test and deceive the whole earth. Everything that Jesus, His disciples, and His prophets have foretold that would happen before Satan's arrival, is well underway today. If your looking to fly away, you will be deceived, for at the seventh trumpet, all living persons will be changed to their incorruptible bodies. No one will fly away in their old decaying bodies. [ I Corinthians 15:50-54]. Ezekiel 35:7 "Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth." It is God that will put the hooks in Russia's jaws, and turn them about. God will do it, and not the United States forces, or any other army. We will read about this in Ezekiel 38. Ezekiel 35:8 "And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword." This lets us know where the location of this destruction will happen. It will take place in "His mountains", or nations. Have you ever wondered how we came to purchased Alaska so cheap. Alaska was purchased from Russia for seven million dollars, and scoffed at as "Seward's folly". We purchased it from Russia, for Russia's own burial grounds, and not one American city or town, not even in Alaska shall be touched. Yet the Russians, and her allies shall be stacked like cord wool. We will read later about this battle of Hamon-gog, in the valley of Hamon-gog, in Ezekiel 38:11. It describes the slaughter of the Russian forces by God, Himself, who will protect His own people; this is a promise that God has made to us. Ezekiel 35:9 "I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the Lord." God is promising each Christian that they will never exist to face them again, ever. This battle shall take place prior to the first day of the Millennium kingdom; and then the one world system, Satan's Kenites, the Antichrist, Russia, and all Satanic governmental powers shall never come into existence again. that is a promise from where it counts, from God. Ezekiel 35:10 "Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the Lord was there:" These two nations are the nations comprising the offspring of the house of Israel, and the House of Judah. They are the Christian nations, and the true Jews. Ezekiel 35:11 "Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them, when I have judged thee." There is strong hatred and envy by the Russians against America, and the British and other Christian nations, when they compare their destitute position, with that of the Christian world. Russia is void of God's blessings. Though they tell their people that their is no God, each of them will stand before God in judgment, and they will meet him face to face. Ezekiel 35:12 "And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume." This again is the purpose of God's punishment; "that they shall know that I am the Lord." God is also letting them know that He is listening as they spout off their blasphemies. Remember, it is the "house of Israel", and the "house of Judah"; the Christian nations, and Jewish nation, that Russia has spoke out against. We will see in Ezekiel 37, that each of these houses, Israel and Judah, are treated separately by God, right up until they enter into the millennium age. Ezekiel 35:13 "Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against Me, and have multiplied your words against Me: I have heard them." Their boasting is through their mouth of lies. This is directed not only to Russia, but the one world system, as well as those false shepherds. God is telling those false pastors that He is listening to your lies also. The false ministers are bunched up together with all the other Satanic filth of this world, however, remember in Ezekiel 34; God took a whole chapter to tell us that these false ministers will receive extra condemnation, because the sins of each of their congregation will be upon them also. Ezekiel 35:14 "Thus saith the Lord God; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate." When the "whole earth rejoiceth", all of the one world government is complete, God said He will make those who side with Russian weep. Those who have sided with the Kenites one worldism, will also weep; for on the first day of the Millennium age every knee will bow to our Lord Jesus Christ, or they will not be here. Those who have been deceived will see their shame, and all mankind will see the truth, and receive the consequences for their deeds. Ezekiel 35:15 "As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord." We have seen that "the mount of Seir" is in reference to the Russian people. "All Idumea", is another expression in the Hebrew for Esau, or Red. On the day of the Lord, all Russia will be laid to waste, and her people will know that Jesus Christ is Lord. On that final day of this earth age, Jesus Christ will return to this earth, and He will establish His kingdom on mount Zion in Jerusalem, and reign over the entire earth for one thousand years. Then judgment! This again is the purpose of God's punishment; "that they shall know that I am the Lord." God ; listening as they spout off their blasphemies.
