Eze 34:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 34:2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe [be] to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
Eze 34:3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock.
The strong delusion relates mainly to this...
Amo 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Re 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters;
Re 17:2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication
The great Harlot is the False church/es. The Kings could represent false religious leaders who follow after false doctrines,
Much like Jerusalem was called by God in the first century by the prophets?
Could they symbolically represent the 10 lost tribes of Israel? There are 12 tribes mentioned being sealed for redemtion. That would be
2 nations. The
House of Judah[jews] and the
House of Israel[Isralites].
There are
10 horns on the sea beast and
2 horns of the earth beast. This is almost like the northern tribe attacking the southern tribe[Harlot]. To me is just looks like
2 nations at war with God giving power to the 10 kings of the House of Israel/gentiles
Guess this is how God is going to bring all nations under ONE KING
These are
without a kingdom as yet [divorced by God]but
give their kindom over to the the other beast.
Revelation 13:1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea[
abyss/nations]. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and
ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. ....
12 "The ten horns which you saw a
re ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.
13 "These are of
one mind, and they will give
their power and authority to the beast. .....
17 "For
God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and
to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
This appears to turn into the Harlot later
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the
earth, and he had
two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.
This is one example of them coming to war against each other. This just stood out at me for some reason.
I KINGS 12:21 And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled
all the House of Judah with the tribe of Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the
House of Israel, that he might restore the kingdom to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
Matthew 23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, 2 saying: "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.[ 2515 kathedra kath-ed'-rah from 2596 and the same as 1476; a bench (literally or figuratively):--seat.] 3 "Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, [that] observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. 4 "For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay [them] on men's shoulders; but they [themselves] will not move them with one of their fingers.
revela 16:10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne[Seat] of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. [2362 thronos thron'-os from thrao (to sit); a stately seat ("throne"); by implication, power or (concretely) a potentate:--seat, throne].
