WORLD WAR 3


EZEKIEL 4:1-2:


"THOU also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem"

"And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about."

"Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel."


EZEKIEL 5:2-8:


"Thou shalt burn with a fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them."

"Thout shalt take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts."

"Then take them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into the house of Israel."

"This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her."

"And she hath changed my judgements into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my statutes, they have not walked in them."

"Therefore, because ye multiplied more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgements, neither have done according to the judgements of the nations that are round about you."

"Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations."


NOTE:

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and its largest city in both population and area, with a population of 747,600 residents over an area of 125.1 square kilometres (48.3 sq mi). It is located in the Judean Mountains, between the Mediterranean Sea and the northern tip of the Dead Sea.

EZEKIEL 5:12-17:


"A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them."

"Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by."

"So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes."

"When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread."

"So I will send you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee."


EZEKIEL 6:2-6:

"Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them."

"Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places."

"And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols."

"And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars."

"In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your alters may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished."

EZEKIEL 6:8-14:


"Yet I will leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries."

"And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives."

"Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence."

"He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine."

"When their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols."

"So I will stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Dib'-lath, in all their habitations."


EZEKIEL 7:2-25:


"Also, thou son of man, An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land."

"The sword is without, and the pestilience and famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him."

"But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity."

"All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water."

"Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none."

EZEKIEL 12:19-20:

"Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy sword toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel."

"Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh."

"Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more."

"Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers."

"I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter."

'Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city."

"Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rab'-bath of the Ammonites (Jordanians), and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced."

"For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver."

"At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter,to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort."

"And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, concerning the Ammonites (Jordanians), and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering."

"And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy."

"Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered."

EZEKIEL 22:3-6:

"Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused the days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years; therefore I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries."

"Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed."

"Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood."


EZEKIEL 22:14-15:


"Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee?"

"And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee."

"The Babylonians, and the Chal-de'-ans (Iraqis), Pe-kod, and Sho'a (Assyrian District in Southern Kingdom of Judah) and Ko'a (Assyrian District in Southern Kingdom of Judah), and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses."

"And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments."

"And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire."

"Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:"

"And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy xxxxxdoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy xxxxxdoms."


EZEKIEL 23:46-47:


"I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled."

"By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach."

"With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground."

"When I shall make thee a desolate city like the cities that are not inhabited;"

"When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;"
