EZEKIEL 4:2

[NKJV] — Lay siege against it, build a siege wall against it, and heap up a mound against it; set camps against it also, and place battering rams against it all around.

[FBV] — “Show that it's under siege: establish a siege perimeter all around it, build a siege ramp against it, set up the enemy camps beside it, and put battering rams on all sides around it.
SIEGE OF JERUSALEM PORTRAYED

So God could also inspire a man of God to act the movie or drama role of being the enemy mobilizing the arms and armed forces against the people and the city of Jerusalem, who were God's covenanted people? Some people feel it's improper for them to even act the devil's character or to act as the villain in a drama, movie or show; and they think acting as angels of goodness or good characters in those illustrations defines them in real life. Some people also feel after they acted as devils, witches, demons, villains, or vicious characters in a drama, movie or show, they have to pray against and cancel their connection with those roles, lest they become possessed, initiated or affected by the characters they represented in the performances.

Well, in the Bible verse above, Ezekiel was being led by God to act as "Anti-Jerusalem" or the enemy mobilizing heavy duty campaign to besiege and bring down Jerusalem into captivity. It's just a movie or performance show, meant to convey the revelation or vision. His role as the villain against the city of Jerusalem here does not define his heart or true character. Moreover, he's not just representing a character in that show, but beyond character he's representing a prophecy in the show, drama or movie.

Now we get down to the substances in the script of manuscript God was giving to Ezekiel to play out in the Bible verse above:

After setting up the portrait, map, flag, or anything that fully represented Jerusalem then on the Tile (Brick): That represented Jerusalem. Then here above, the man of God began to employ hostility, aggression, wars and siege, at the perimeter of the city with intents of besieging the city. By then, there was no iron drone interceptor to neutralize missiles, and the enemies then were to be stronger for Jerusalem than the Hamas or Palestinians of October 2023. As it is written,
[b]
[Jeremiah 6:6‭-‬8] — For thus has the Lord of hosts said: “Cut down trees, And build a mound (siege) against Jerusalem. This is the city to be visited and punished. She is full of oppression in her midst. As a fountain wells up with water, So she wells up with her wickedness. Violence and plundering are heard in her. Before Me continually are grief and wounds. Be instructed and be warned, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul depart from you; Lest I make you desolate, A land not inhabited.”

Again, it is written,

[Luke 19:41‭-‬44 ICB] — Jesus came near Jerusalem. He saw the city and began to cry for it. Jesus said to Jerusalem, “I wish you knew today what would bring you peace! But you can’t know it, because it is hidden from you. A time is coming when your enemies will build a wall around you and will hold you in on all sides. They will destroy you and all your people. Not one stone of your buildings will be left on another. All this will happen because you did not know the time when God came to save you.”

[Matthew 23:37-39] — "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stone them which are sent to you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, You shall not see Me from now on, till you shall say, Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord."[/b]

What was under siege and to be besieged? The Tablets of Stone containing the Commandments or the tablet of Brick Tile containing the city of Jerusalem on it? Surely, the later was, for

This top Bible verse above is clear, and you understand what the Lord God was instructing and inspiring the Watchman of the house of Israel to illustrate/dramatize to the people old Jerusalem

This part of prophecy has already passed.

Israel was plundered and its citizens scattered around the world

They came back later to their land and proclaimed the sate of Israel.

The stage of prophecy to happen now will change the world as we know it.


Those troubling Israel will be defeated all round with much devastation.

Peace

That is actually not true at all. The Nation of Israel was plundered and its citizens scattered over 2500 years ago. They never came back. It is instead the citizens of the sister nation, the Nation of Judah, of whom some remained back in the land after the plundering, whose people eventually went back to the land of Judah. However, they too, the Nation of Judah, were plundered and scattered about 1900 years ago. The gathering back if Israel — both the nations of Israel and Judah— from every tribe, language, and Nation of the world is the task for which Jesus Christ was sent into the world.

2. Troubling which Israel? Defeated by whom? You folks never think to crosscheck what you believe against what is in fact written, do you?

The country called Israel today is a nation that was formed according to the ideas of men, and not of God. Yes, many of the people may be of the bloodline, but there exists no prophesy in Scripture stating God of the Old Covenant will fight again for them or with them. None!

How many nations in the world did the invented Jesus christ visit to gather back his people to Isreal?

Ofcourse you can't join words since that which you believe does not even belong in the book you pretend to quote from.

since the whatever you believe does not align with the truth of Jesus Christ of what true value is it? Is it all so you can claim you too belong to a group/cult/sect/denomination?
