MICHAEL WILL "RAISE THE LOW
AND BRING DOWN THE HIGH."
Jehovah has promised: "All is
changed; raise the low and bring down the high. Ruin! Ruin! I will bring
about such ruin as never was before, until the rightful sovereign comes.
Then I will give him all." (Ezek 21:26,27 NEB).
The spirit disposition of Michael
the Son of God will bring the exalted ones of this world's spiritual
"darkness" down to a low state, while exalting the spirits of lowly
ones. (Isaiah 60:1-3) Because of the excessive sinning of the people inhabiting
the land of Israel* their ruin was
foretold, and this is how it has been for them until now. (Ezek 22:1 12 NEB).
But when our Lord Michael stands up in authority, there will begin "a time
of distress such as has never been since they became a nation*
till that moment." (Dan 12:1 NEB.
Zech 12:10-14). This "distress" will then extend over the whole earth as the Spirit of
the Lord's Judgement arrives to test the spirits of mankind during the
"hour of test". (Isaiah 66:15,16 NEB. Rev 3:10). When our Lord Michael the "rightful sovereign"
arrives, brutal men of the "sons of Ammon" (Islamic enemies of
Israel) will not escape the Judgement and punishment of Almighty God. Of them it
is written: "I will hand you over to brutal men, skilled in
destruction. You shall become fuel for fire,
your blood shall be
shed within the land and you shall leave no memory behind. For I, the LORD,
have spoken."
(21:28 32 NEB)
ISRAELIS USE "THEIR POWER TO SHED BLOOD". (Ezek 22:6,7 NEB)
Jehovah has said:
"In you the princes of Israel, one and all, have used their power to shed
blood". (22:6 NEB).
Israel's political and military leaders today use their power in exactly the
same manner as those of the past: To shed blood. Wherever they have been
scattered throughout the world, the indignation of our Lord has permitted those
nations to taunt the Jewish people with their infamy and gross disorder. Because
of their excessive sinning, Jehovah through our Lord Michael will bring low
these "princes of Israel". (22:1-31)
(2 Esdras 13:25 27 NEB).
As to Michael raising the
"low" ones, it means he will exalt the spirits of faithful lowly ones of
God worldwide. Michael will bring down the "high" ones throughout
the world by shaming and humiliating their exalted rebel spirits. In contrast to
the evil power and rebellion of the political leaders of literal Israel, the
lowly anointed sons of spiritual "Israel" will soon be exalted to heaven. With
their God-given holy power restored, they will inherit life-giving spiritual
responsibilities from Michael. (Rev 5:9,10). The "dashing of the power of
the holy people to pieces" during the "2,300 evening and mornings",
when remaining anointed sons of God on earth were ostracized, "trampled"
on and excommunicated from Christ's congregations, has already been brought
to a finish. (Dan 8:8-14. Rev 11:1-3) (Dan 12:7). The waning of the evil spirit
power of the "high" ones, and the ascendancy of the Spirit power
of God, will cause the world great distress. Many will be destroyed and shall
become an eternal abhorrence. But faithful anointed sons of God, who
"guided the people in the true path", have accurate knowledge of the
life giving Spirit Will of God, and will radiate this Spirit
knowledge from heaven to the "great crowd" on earth. (Dan
12:1-3 NEB.
Rev 21:1-4 & 7:9,10).
THE LAST INDICATOR BEFORE
THE WRATH OF GOD IS POURED OUT.
As prophesied, Israeli
settlers in the "land of open rural country" are currently under
attack. (Ezek 38:8-16). Almighty God is beginning to bring Gog and his crowd
against prospective members of His spiritual "land", "that the nations may
know Me, when they see Me prove My holiness at your expense, O Gog." (Ezek 38:16B NEB).
The unchanged rebellious
dispositions of Israelis are listed in Ezekiel 22:1-12. We wait to see
how Almighty God will prove His holiness among them at Gog's expense.
