the first fifteen verses of Ezekiel 36 are primarily written to the land, while the last part is written to the people. This first part has to do with Esau [Russia] and Russia's desire to take possession over Israel. In this chapter Israel and Judah are still separate, as it will be detailed in the next chapter.

Esau is envious of the land of Israel, because they sold it, and now they want it back. It was part of Esau's birthright and heritage, and just like their father Esau, their sold their inheritance for a bowl of mush. From the time of Esau in ancient times, to his offspring of today these people's nature has not changed at all.

Today there is a lot of propaganda being spread around the world about peace among all nations. God has warned us that in these end times, that this kind of talk is not truth; because this old world is entering into the time of "Jacob's trouble". Never forget that Esau is very important in end time prophecy, and those labor pains we are seeing today are bringing in the birth of a new Millennium age.

Chapters 38 and 39 will give us a detailed picture of what is about to happen, and we must pay attention to God's warning, so that we will not be deceived.

Ezekiel 36:1 "Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord:"

The "mountains of Israel", are the nations of Israel. This prophecy is directed to the Christian nations of today, and not Judah. Yet, most of the people of these nations don't even know who they are. Though Hosea 1:10 details Israel in the end times, most Christians simply chose not to believe God's word, but to follow their vain traditions.

Ezekiel 36:2 "Thus saith the Lord God; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:"

God is angry at Russia for their sneering ["Aha"] at Israel. As God blessed America and the other Christian nations, most of the other heathen nations of the world felt God's blessings belong to them. This is why enormous sums of money and wealth are flowing out of America today, and draining our nation, because the people sit back and allow their nation to be bought off for a bowl of mush. The Russians and their friends, the Kenites are brainwashing our people, and God does not like it.

Ezekiel 36:3 "Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:"

God's anger is growing because the people that call themselves Christians are allowing themselves to be robbed, lied to, and brainwashed by all the heathen beggar nations. God is telling us that His people are an "infamy" to the world. They look upon us as evil, and criminal because of our blessing, and through the "Christians" guilt, and lack of knowledge of the Word of God; in ignorance they believe the lies. As the world, and the Kenites rob us blind, they make jokes about Christians, and the Christians sit there nightly and take it. These Kenite call themselves "of Judah", and "the chosen people". That is a Jewish myth, for it is manufactured by the Rabbis for "goyim" [the Kenites slang for Christians], and the Christians have swallowed this crap hook line and sinker. The Jews have been a mixed race ever since their captivity and return from Babylon.

The heathenized people came back to Jerusalem, and set up a heathen religious form, which is spelled out in Ezra and Nehemiah, and this form did not follow the Laws of Moses, but developed a mixture of the Hebrew Religion, with the worst of Baal worship and occultism. How can you believe any Kenite [Jew] who has taken the "Kol Nidre Oath" on the Day of Atonement? In the Talmud, this is referred to as "the law of revocation in advance", and is the recital of prayer, called the "all vows prayer". This oath releases the Jew and Kenite from any obligation under "oaths, vows or pledges; entered into during the next twelve months.

These are the people God is warning His people, Christians [you and I] to be aware of. Yes, it is God that made them strong, and it is also God that has use this negative force for down through the years, and for the short time ahead; through the Antichrist's rule, but we are to be aware of them, what they stand for, who they are and just where they came from.

God is telling us to grow skilled in His Word and sharpen up.

Ezekiel 36:4 "Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;"

The "mountains and hills" are nations and peoples, and they covers the entire world. This is talking about "one worldism". It is sad that as the prophecies of the end times take place, God's people sit by in ignorance, and can't even see God's hand in it all. Everything happening is like a great mystery to them. God wrote the entire Bible, through His prophets and disciples so that you will be fully aware of all the negative forces in His plan, and not be ignorant as the heathen are. It is time that you spend the effort it takes to understand What Our Lord wants you to know.

Ezekiel 36:5 "Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely in the fire of My jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed My land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, and despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey."

Our Heavenly Father knows exactly what is going on. "Idumea" is Russia, and their mind is set on taking our lands. The media is covering over the traps and treachery they are planning, as they continue deceiving the Christian public, crying peace peace. Russia wants Alaska and other parts of America back, and we will see in Ezekiel 39 that she will try to take it. This prophecy is not directed to the Middle East and the House of Judah [Jews], but to the House of Israel. It is time to wake up to who we really are.

Ezekiel 36:6 "Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:"

Once again, this prophecy is to the offspring of the "House of Israel", and not the Jews. God is very mad, He's furious over the fact that the Christian world has absorbed the lies and deception of the heathen. Not just the Kenites, but the strange and false religions from all over the world, and made it part of Christianity. This is what the old House of Israel did when they split away from Jerusalem, at the death of King Solomon; and friend, it is happening today.

"Because ye have born the shame of the heathen"; that shame is the acceptance of the low estate that the Kenites, those offspring of Satan through Cain, have placed them in. This shame is in the eyes of our Almighty Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ. The allowing of the false doctrine, and mixing of all sorts of heathenism into Christianity is placing the Christian in the position of accepting the Antichrist [Satan] as the true Christ [Jesus Christ]. The time is not far away, and when Daniel saw the state of affairs the Christians are in, in this final generation, He could not sleep for weeks. Then God told him to "shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end:" Daniel 12:4.

My friend, we are in that time of the end, and it is time to take off that seal and understand what God has revealed to Daniel and all the prophets. All of mankind are running to and fro, and all knowledge has increased beyond our comprehension. The blind obedience that Christians give to every wind of doctrine, has given our Lord just cause to be jealous and furious.

Ezekiel 36:7 "Therefore, Thus saith the Lord God; I have lifted up Mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame."

The "time of the Gentiles" is coming to a close, and then God will put an end to this madness. During this time of the Gentiles, many dear men and women of all races, and every nation, have come under the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, repented of their sins and entered into the family of God.

Ezekiel 36:8 "But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to My People of Israel; for they are at hand to come."

God is reminding us that He has kept his word, and the promises He made to Abraham did com to pass. The "house of Israel" which is the Christian nations of today, have become the most prosperous people that have ever lived on earth. This verse is written to the land of those nations, and pointing to it's fertility. Our land has made our nation rich, and our people enjoy the highest lifestyle in the world. The Christian nations feed the entire world.

Ezekiel 36:9 "For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:"

God created "Adam" to till the soil. "Adam" in the Hebrew text means "ruddy, reddy complected", and in Strong's Hebrew dictionary it's number is #122. It is the offspring of Adam that is the tiller of the soil. God created each race separately, and all races should be proud of their race.

It is through the tilling of the soil that God has bless our nation, and our people. This is why all thanks goes to Him for our blessings. In Genesis 27:27 starts the details of the blessing that is being passed from Isaac, on to Jacob [Israel]. Then in Genesis 48:17-22 God Word records that blessing that was passed from Abraham to Isaac, and then to Jacob; is passed on to Joseph's tow sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. Somehow the Christian Church world wants to change this part of God's word, and give that blessing to Judah [the Jews}, and this whole idea is of Kenite origination. God gave Judah the "sceptre"; the right to rule is given, as recorded in Genesis 49:10.

I bring this out to show you why things are as they are. It is because God ordained it that way. There in Genesis 27 God said that Israel would be fruitful, multiply, and the soil would yield for him. In the same chapter God condemned Esau [Russia is Esau's descendants] and and the soil that they claim. This should not be a mystery to Christians who study their Bibles.

Ezekiel 36:10 "And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:"

This is part of that Covenant that God made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and passed on to the end generation. The total rebuilding of this land and nation will not occur until Israel and Judah are joined back together in the Millennium age. We will study this in Ezekiel 37.

Ezekiel 36:11 "And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the Lord."

This "old estates" is in reference to the time that was prior to their splitting up. From this verse on to the closing chapters, we will see the reforming of that old nation, as Israel [Christians] and Judah [the tribes of Benjamin and Judah] will be joined together again by God. This will largely take place at the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Then each tribe will have it's select location.

Ezekiel 36:12 "Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even My People Israel: and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men."

When our Lord returns, all Israel [all the tribes] will know what they posses, and where they belong. However, prior to that time, we will see the entire world fall into the time of the great deception, or "apostasy" or turning away from God's truths, and into the traps set by the Antichrist, and Satan's children. When Christians on a massive scale turn to Satan's one worldism, this is what is meant here "bereave them of men".

When Jesus Christ returns at the seventh trumpet, that condition of deception will be removed, and Satan will go to the pit, right along with his angles, and all the false prophets who have misled God children. God promised this in Ezekiel 34. Then all of God's children will know who they are, and all of God's word will be open to them.

Ezekiel 36:13 "Thus saith the Lord God, Because they say unto you, thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;"

This is not talking about the house of Israel and the Jews. It is the promises that God made to Israel, and God is reminding us that those blessing He promised, we do have. Now that God has kept His word, and Israel [the Christian nations] have received their blessing, God's people, in ignorance, can't even tie these blessing to who they are. They can not see how the blessings promised 3,500 years ago, is related to the wealth of the Christian nations of today. God is angry over the fact that His people have allowed this oriental tribe, called Kenites, to so blind them, and rob them of their blessings. They are blind to all promises of God, fulfilled right before their eyes today.

Ezekiel 36:14 "Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord God."

When our Lord Jesus Christ returns, He will never allow His people to be scattered again. All these false shepherds that tell you that part of God's word is not for you, and peddle their damnable Kenite lies, will be taken from us, along with all their false doctrine. There will be no more robbing of God's Children.

Ezekiel 36:15 "Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord God."

There will be no more heathen rituals, practices, and false traditions or any form of religion our Lord's kingdom. There will be nothing allowed in the Millennium age that will take any for of idolatry.

Ezekiel 36:16 "Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,"

This verse is written to the people of God, and He is telling us that He will restore them to Him, not because we deserve it, but because of His word. He will do it because He promised us that He would do it, and God keeps His promises.

Ezekiel 36:17 "Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before Me as the uncleanness of a removed woman."

God is telling the people that it is not Satan that defiled the land, but "they" [God's people] are the ones that defiled the land. They are the ones that opened their ears and eyes to false doctrine, and allowed themselves to be taken by that old whore [that Babylonian religious form of the end days]. When you sit in your church and follow heathen ritual, and false doctrine, you now know what God thinks of both you and your tithe. This unclean woman is an harlot.

Ezekiel 36:18 "Wherefore I poured My fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:"

There are many things that are becoming idols to this generation. It is this generation that this is directed, and God is mad [My fury] at the forms of idolatry that is accepted by His people. Christians today are so defiled in their houses of worship, that many are even defending filth, sodomy and all sorts of heathen perversion, as they twist God's Word to conform to their art forms, and idolatry. To the heathen it is expected, but not in the house of God, and God will hold not only your false shepherd accountable for it, but also you. Anything that you place before God is an idol.

Ezekiel 36:19 "And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way of according to their doings I judged them."

We know that God scattered the House of Israel because of their sins of idolatry. Yet in God's punishment, He provided a way that His children could return to Him. When our Lord Jesus Christ went to the cross and shed His blood, salvation came forth, and was extended again to Israel. In the New Testament, the offspring of the ancient house of Israel are those who are referred to as; "the lost sheep of Israel".

Ezekiel 36:20 "And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned My holy name, when they said to them, These are the People of the Lord, and are gone forth out of His land."

God gave His holy Name to Moses, yet today there are very few Christians who have ever heard of that holy name. Not only do they don't know it, they don't care to know it. Instead they listen to every wind of doctrine, and false teaching and try to make it part of their life.

Ezekiel 36:21 "But I had pity for Mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went."

God's pity is not for the people, but for His "holy name".  In the "latter days" which is the generation that we are now in, there is so much confusion that most of the churches of today are blinded by their own traditions.  The Kenites have infiltrated their ranks, and filled their doctrines with half truths and outright lies.  In fact the leadership of many religious orders have convinced the sons and daughters of Israel that they are Gentile.

How can we expect these deceived Christians to understand any of Bible end time prophecy; of it's meanings, and just who the warnings and promises are directed to, when they do not even know who they are.  They refuse to trust anyone but the false shepherds placed over them, and those false shepherds simply are ignorant in their identifying the peoples and nations of the end times.  Though the Christians are ignorant of applying Bible prophecy to Nations and peoples, God is not.

The Christian world is confused between the House of Israel, and the tiny nation of Jews and Kenites that call their nation "Israel".  The small nation that was established through their one world government on May 15, 1948, is the House of Judah; And when that nation became a state, it started the final generation, as Jesus stated in Matthew 24:32-34. To understand who these Kenites are, you must first understand the "parable of the Fig Tree".  This parable establishes the origin on the Kenite, the offspring of Cain, who is the result of the sexual union between Eve and Satan, in the Garden of Eden.  The Kenites know who they are, and somehow, Christians desire to believe some fairy tale about an apple tree.

My friend, of this offends you, then you will have no hope of standing against the Antichrist, and his one worldism.  When we look back on the way our forefathers allowed God's Word to be changed, it becomes a shame on the people, and not God.  When we put ourselves under the false prophets [ministers] who change and defile the Word of God with any heathen form, even the ruling of the courts which go against God's Word; we have overstepped the bounds of "tempting the Lord our God".

Ezekiel 36:22  "Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went."

Everything we have gained and received nationally is given by God, for His name's sake; and that is because God promised it in His Word.  Yet, we continue to profane God nationally; to promote and allow all sorts of perversions, such as sodomy, to infiltrate all parts of our lives.

Ezekiel 36:23 "And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes."

God is going to make all things right shortly, and the profane things practiced by Christians will be cleaned up [sanctified]. God will do this to all those He calls His own, or they just will not be around for the Millennium age. God will do this not for your sake, no, but for the "heathen's sake". So that they may know God.

The things that God has given our nation, the Christian community has allowed the heathen to scorn and spit on all the values that we hold dear, and they say nothing.  God is going to deal with Christian America, and before it is all done, Christians will pay dearly for the games they have played.

Ezekiel 36:24 "For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land."

This has a two fold meaning. When God gathered Manasseh out of all nations, He brought this tribe to the North American Continent to form our nation, the United States.  God gave us His name [Christian], and His Word to be our guide.  He blessed us with blessings and freedoms that no other nation has ever had, and protected us from all outsider forces.

Ezekiel 36:25 "Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you."

This verse is directed to the time after Jesus Christ comes, and all profanity is taken from us, and we will be living in our incorruptible bodies.  Keep in mind that we are talking about the House of Israel, and not the Jews. We will read in the next chapter how God will draw the two houses back together, to live as one.  God will use symbols to help us understand how this will come to pass.

Ezekiel 36:26 "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."

Ezekiel 36:27 "And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them."


Ezekiel 36:28 "And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God."


Ezekiel 36:29 "I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you."


Ezekiel 36:30 "And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen."


Ezekiel 36:31 "Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations."


Ezekiel 36:32 "Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel."

These verses are describing the restoration and purpose of restoring the House of Israel to favor with our Lord. He will do this because He loves His people, and for His sake; "not for your sakes do I this".   It is done for the sake of a promise to an old friend, father Abraham, some 3,500 years ago.

Ezekiel 36:33 "Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded."


Ezekiel 36:34 "And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by."


Ezekiel 36:35 "And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited."


Ezekiel 36:36 "Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it."

By and through what God will do for Israel, the heathen will know our God.  They will know God keeps His Word.



Ezekiel 36:37 "Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock."


Ezekiel 36:38 "As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD."

In the millennium age all men will keep God's statutes, and worship the Lord. They will worship Jesus Christ because they have been taught to do so, and out of respect.  All forms of idolatry will be gone, and all feast days will be respected because men desire to.  Satan and his army will not be around to tempt us, and this will be a real time of teaching, and discipline.  It will be done that all men, "shall know that I am the Lord".

And we praise God for His mercy.
