Who is That Degenerate City - aka: " Spiritual Jerusalem " - as ( so very clearly ) mentioned in Isaiah Chapter 1.

The Two Sticks Of Israel.

In Isaiah Chapter 1, we can read A Twin Series Of End Time Prophecies with respect toward: Judah [ The End Time Land Occupied By Judah - aka, The Modern Nation State Of Israel ] and Jerusalem [ The End Time Capital Of Israel - aka, The United States Of America ]. And, while many of you may argue against this very simple understanding, I would ask you to consider all of the relevant facts regarding both of these Two Separate Nations.

Since, The People Of Israel [ aka, Those Ten Lost Tribes ] were taken captive around 3500 Years Ago; by Those Semitic Tribes Of Assyria; and even those ( self-proclaimed ): " Biblical Scholars " cannot, honestly, seemingly agree to their own current whereabouts; we must rely upon: Those End Times Biblical Passages and Verifiable Anecdotal Evidences - to ascertain their own current physical location.

While, The People Of Judah [ Whom Everyone Refers To As All Of Those Jews ] were taken captive around 750 Years Later; by Those People Of Babylon; and they have since been re-gathered to The Promised Land - in that, long prophesied, first wave of promised resettlement.

And, as Those Two Very Distinct Nations, we can now read of them in Ezekiel Chapter 37 ( where it, very clearly, says ):

" Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

' As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write upon it: " For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions. " Then, take another stick and write upon it: " For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions. " Then, join them one to another for yourself into one stick; and they will become one in your hand. '

 And, when the children of your people speak to you, saying: ' Will you not show us what you mean by these? '— say to them: ' Thus says the Lord God: " Surely I will take The Stick Of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with The Stick Of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand. " And, the sticks upon which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.

Then, say to them: ' Thus says the Lord God:

" Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; They Shall No Longer Be Two Nations, nor shall they ever be divided into Two Kingdoms again. 

They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

David My Servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My Judgments and observe My Statutes, and do them. Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, forever; and My Servant David shall be their prince forever.

Moreover, I will make A Covenant Of Peace with them, and it shall be An Everlasting Covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My Sanctuary in their midst forevermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when My Sanctuary is in their midst forevermore. " ' " - Ezekiel 37:15-28.

But, Indeed, The Return Of Judah Has Already Factually Occurred; And We Are Now Awaiting The Fulfillment Of The Second Half Of This End Time Prophecy....

Can you say: " Bye Bye American Pie "?

And, consequently therefore, we shall now examine The Second Half Of This Prophecy; since, whether you now comprehend it or not, that is ( yet again ) another case of America Being Found In Prophecy!

After all, in Isaiah Chapter 1 [ verses 21-31 ], we can read all of the following:

" How The Faithful City has become A Harlot! 

It Was Full Of Justice; And Righteousness Lodged In It; but, Now It Is Filled With Murderers.

Your Silver has become dross [ Your Currency Is Debased ]; and Your Wine is mixed with water [ Your Spiritual Understanding Is Virtually Non-Existent ].

Your Princes are rebellious, and the companions of thieves [ In How They Conduct All Of Their Business ]; Everyone There loves bribes, and they follow after rewards [ And, Your People Have Grown To Expect Their Own Material Gains ]. 

They do not defend The Fatherless [ Where They Perceive No Real Benefit ]; nor does the cause of The Widow come before them [ Since, there Are None Who Respect The Elderly Among Them ].

Therefore, The Lord says ( The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel ):

' Ah, I will rid myself of My Adversaries; and take vengeance upon My Enemies. For, I will turn My hand against you; and thoroughly purge away your dross; and take away all your alloy. I will restore your judges as at the first; and your counselors as at the beginning. And, afterward, you shall be called: The City Of Righteousness and The Faithful City. '

Zion shall be redeemed with Justice [ As Measured Out By God Himself ]; and her Penitents [ Those Who'll Repent Of Their Wrongdoings, Before Its Too Late ] with righteousness. 

The destruction of Transgressors [ Those Who Act Out Of Ignorance ] and of Sinners [ Those Who Are Intentionally Rebellious ] shall be together [ Since, Those Answers Have Been Repeatedly Provided To All ], and those who forsake The Lord shall be consumed.

For, they shall be ashamed of Those Terebinth Trees which they have desired; and you shall be embarrassed because of The Gardens which you yourselves have chosen.

For, you shall be as A Terebinth Whose Leaf Fades, and as A Garden That Has No Water. The strong shall be as tinder, and the work of it as a spark; both will burn together, and no one shall quench them. " - Isaiah 1:21-31.

You see, dear brothers and sisters, ' While You May Forget About God, He Has Never Forgotten About You '... and, indeed, It Is Now Time To Finally Wake Up!

In fact, it is written about Those People Of Zion in Isaiah Chapter 49 [ verses 14-16 ]:

" But, Zion said: ' The Lord has forsaken me, and My Lord has forgotten me. '

Can a woman forget her own nursing child, and not have compassion upon the son of her womb?

Surely, they may forget; yet I will not forget you! 

See, I Have Inscribed You Upon The Palms Of My Hands; and, indeed, Your Walls Are Continually Before Me. " - Isaiah 49:14-16.

Ahava and Shalom.

May Yahweh's Own: Love and Peace - be, continually, upon you!
