 Ezekiel 7 "An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land. Now the end is upon you... "  This message to Israel could be the warning that is yet to come for the end of days.. God's anger will be poured out upon the sinful earth.. and He will no longer show pity, "nor spare you".  God has said it again.. "A disaster, unique disaster, behold it is coming!"

Israel's fate is a warning to us.. "Behold the day! Behold it is coming! Your doom has gone forth; the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed. Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, none of their multitude, none of their wealth, nor anything eminent among them. The time has come, the day has arrived... " 

In that day, the Word says that "all of them will be mourning, each over his own iniquity." They will throw their useless silver and gold into the streets.. they will have nothing to deliver them from the wrath of the Lord.  "Disaster will come upon disaster, and rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a vision from a prophet but the law will be lost from the priest and counsel from the elders. The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with horror, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble."

Sounds exactly like the judgements prophesied in Revelations. "According to their conduct I shall deal with them, and by their judgements I shall judge them. And they will know that  I am the Lord."

Father in heaven, we pray for our nation and our world.. filled with arrogance and violence and wickedness. We know that there will come a day when Your wrath will be poured out again.. on the whole earth and we fear for those who do not repent and turn back to You. What great horror and disaster awaits the rebellious and wicked.  What heartbreak and mourning awaits those who have turned their backs on the Truth that they have been taught, choosing arrogantly to do their own thing.. How can we pray?  What will move Your Spirit to bring salvation ? Father, before it is too late, will You pour out Your mercy on the lost and dying? Give ears to hear.. give hearts that will receive.. bring forth a harvest of souls that seek You and know Jesus Christ the Lord. We ask this in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
