O Jerusalem

 Ezekiel 24:6, 9
6“Now this is what the Sovereign Lord says: What sorrow awaits Jerusalem, the city of murderers!
She is a cooking pot whose corruption can’t be cleaned out..
9 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: What sorrow awaits Jerusalem, the city of murderers!  I myself will pile up the fuel beneath her.

Saints,

Some time ago the Lord dropped in my spirit 2nd Samuel chapter 12...

1 So the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to tell David this story: “There were two men in a certain town. One was rich (Jerusalem), and one was poor (Gaza). 2 The rich man (Jerusalem) owned a great many sheep and cattle. 3 The poor man (Gaza) owned nothing but one little lamb he had bought. He raised that little lamb, and it grew up with his children. It ate from the man’s own plate and drank from his cup. He cuddled it in his arms like a baby daughter. 4 One day a guest arrived at the home of the rich man. But instead of killing an animal from his own flock or herd, he took the poor man’s lamb and killed it and prepared it for his guest.”

5 David was furious. “As surely as the Lord lives,” he vowed, “any man who would do such a thing deserves to die! 6 He must repay four lambs to the poor man for the one he stole and for having no pity.”
7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! The Lord, the God of Israel, says: I anointed you king of Israel and saved you from the power of Saul. 8 I gave you your master’s house and his wives and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. And if that had not been enough, I would have given you much, much more. 9 Why, then, have you despised the word of the Lord and done this horrible deed? For you have murdered Uriah the Hittite with the sword of the Ammonites and stolen his wife. 10 From this time on, your family will live by the sword because you have despised me by taking Uriah’s wife to be your own.
11 “This is what the Lord says: Because of what you have done, I will cause your own household to rebel against you. I will give your wives to another man before your very eyes, and he will go to bed with them in public view. 12 You did it secretly, but I will make this happen to you openly in the sight of all Israel.”
13 Then David confessed to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.”

Saints,
Those who won't learn from history, will repeat it.  In Matthew chapter 23, seven times Jesus calls the Pharisees hypocrites.  I thank God for Jewish Voice for Peace,  Amer Zahr, Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss as well as other organizations.  A plea for equality for all humanity.  I have an overwhelming sadness of the leadership of Pharisees of today.  Following scripture from Isaiah and Jesus speaks loudly.

Isaiah 9:16-17

16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.  (Judgments upon Israel for pride)

Matthew 23:37-39
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!  38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
