Ezekiel 24 tells us that Ezekiel’s wife dies as a symbol of Jerusalem’s fall. In the past, I wrote about the coming of “the year of the great earthquake” that I heard in my dream. I do not know if this year will be the year. Earlier, I said everything is connected. Not all knowledge is revealed to us but sometimes God reveals His plans to us.

I heard the news that there was a big earthquake in Turkey and Syria after I posted the last article on the fall of Jerusalem. I read that Antioch is in rubble. Antioch is the birthplace of Christianity. This is not a coincidence (in fact, there is no such thing as coincidence from God’s point of view).

And he left for Tarsus to look for Saul; and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers of people; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Now at this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. (Acts 11:25-27)

I googled “Antakya” and the Wikipedia says, “…Antakya is a place of pilgrimage for Christians.” and “It has a reputation in Turkey as a place for spells, fortune telling, miracles and spirits.”

And he (Manasseh) made his son pass through the fire, interpreted signs, practiced divination, and used mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger. (2 Kings 21:6)

I will make them an object of terror among all the kingdoms of the earth because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem. (Jeremiah 15:4)

God was not against Manasseh only but also all people who followed his evil practices. God is not against a city in a certain geographical location. The earthquake in Antakya is a symbol of the fall of Christianity. The year of the great earthquake will come. God is against not only Jerusalem but also other nations that serve idols as we will read in the rest of the chapters of the Book of Ezekiel.

From Abraham, the Israel nation came. From Christ, Christianity came. But God is not pleased with Christians just as He was not pleased with the Israelites in the OT. And this is what I have been telling all along. The OT tells us about our sins, the judgements, and restoration. There are many similarities between the prophetic books of the OT and the Book of Revelation. Therefore, the Book of Revelation is not a strange book as some theologians claim. The Israelites in the OT are Christians in the NT era. The Israel nation in the OT is the visible church in the NT. The twelve tribes of Israel are the seven churches in the NT. I can’t say I have all the knowledge. I am still learning. At least, I can see that everything is carefully woven by God.

I am not calling for an earthly reform. Those who are given the Holy Spirit by grace will repent and believe in God. Others will never repent. Even if they try to repent, their repentance will not be accepted. In the rubble, God will save His chosen people for His kingdom. Even though their bodies may perish, they will never die because they are bought with the price of Christ’s blood.

“Tolle lege”. Read the Bible. And study orthodox Christian doctrines. The Reformation was God’s will. But Christians left truths. They now believe in work-based salvation. God is against false Christians. It is God’s will that we know Him, repent of our sins, and believe in Him.

“I will completely remove all things
From the face of the earth,” declares the Lord.

 “I will remove human and animal life;
I will remove the birds of the sky
And the fish of the sea,
And the ruins along with the wicked;
And I will eliminate mankind from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord. (Zephaniah 1:2-3)

Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. (Matthew 25:34)
