The "Scapegoat" of Leviticus 16:1-10

[sheila]

 Good morning my sister...... I have been reading in Ezekiel 35 thismorning. In particular

  verse 10..where God says...because you have said..'These two nations andcountries will be

  ours and we will take possession of them,even though I the Lord was there.....

   makes me think of Israel and USA...nations in

covenant with Him...and how He allows

enemies to make their way/breach borders to bring His people to repentance..........

  even allwing desolations untotheend.....ch 8 Gog's prophecy......

   these two nations...symbolically represent the Lord's portion/lot inthe earth

       ...Daniel....the Beautifullandaandthe power todestroyit............. just as the

  man of lawlessness enters  into the sheepfolds..feeds nly themselves..eyes full of adultery

  in the body of beleivers..so to this same man of lawlessness[corruption] has entered into

  the governmentsofthe twocountries...causing desolations.....and this also..in all ofus

individually..where are old man of sin has power to bring death to our flesh[and then can

donothing else]

        didn't Iprophecy that I would bring you up against a land that had recovered fromwar?

   thinking of Israel's restoration..6 daay war..and US'S civil wr[end of selling

brother'sintoslavery..very signifigant spiritual principle[Nehemiah]........

   and so...man of sin/corruption has come up over the land likea cloud...infiltrating government

huses etc...[remember as Godhas His positive emblem[locusts/eagle/calf/man/lion etc]

so,too does the adversary has his negative contrast emblem/problems occurr whenpeople

can nolonger discern which]
