When God wants to burn Jerusalem down, he uses the local warlords. Whatever nation is sitting around with geopolitical ambitions in the region will do. In this case a nice guy called Nebuchadnezzar.Songoma the Sangoma
This makes Harry Potter look Micky Mouse. Hy toor die toordokter.
God knows Nebuchadnezzar will consult the witchdoctors and so God sends the message to the witchdoctors, and voila Bobs your Uncle!
Please note Israel, God’s wife by covenant, has been committing adultery for centuries, and God , who is slow to anger, is now angry after all.
18 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying:
19 “And son of man, appoint for yourself two ways for the sword of the king of Babylon to go; both of them shall go from the same land.
Make a sign; put it at the head of the road to the city.
20 “Appoint a road for the sword to go to Rabbah of the Ammonites, and to Judah, into fortified Jerusalem.
21 “For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the road, at the fork of the two roads, to use divination: he shakes the arrows, he consults the images, he looks at the liver.
22 “In his right hand is the divination for Jerusalem: to set up battering rams, to call for a slaughter, to lift the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to heap up a siege mound, and to build a wall.
23 “And it will be to them like a false divination in the eyes of those who have sworn oaths with them; but he will bring their iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.
24 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear—because you have come to remembrance, you shall be taken in hand.
The Prince of Israel? Their very own principality?
25 ‘Now to you, O profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, whose iniquity shall end,
26 ‘thus says the Lord God: “Remove the turban, and take off the crown; Nothing shall remain the same. Exalt the humble, and humble the exalted.
27 Overthrown, overthrown, I will make it overthrown! It shall be no longer, Until He comes whose right it is, And I will give it to Him.” ’
Oh yes, the Ammonites will go up in smoke too, just for good measure.
28 “And you, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God concerning the Ammonites and concerning their reproach,’ and say: ‘A sword, a sword is drawn, Polished for slaughter, For consuming, for flashing—
29 While they see false visions for you, While they divine a lie to you, To bring you on the necks of the wicked, the slain Whose day has come, Whose iniquity shall end.
30 ‘Return it to its sheath. I will judge you In the place where you were created, In the land of your nativity.
31 I will pour out My indignation on you; I will blow against you with the fire of My wrath, And deliver you into the hands of brutal men who are skillful to destroy.
32 You shall be fuel for the fire; Your blood shall be in the midst of the land. You shall not be remembered, For I the Lord have spoken.’ ”
Ezekiel 21:18-32
The point is: God is often the source of death and chaos for the nations, including Israel. He uses very unorthodox methods. Can you image how many prayer meetings and Jericho marches the baby Christians will do when they discover the king of Babylon has been directed by the witch-doctors?
When Julius and Jacob consults the sangomas??
And yet make no mistake God sent Nebuchadnezzar to judge Jerusalem.
They prayer meetings are in vain unless they bring repentance to Gods people for the lust greed pride and fear that rules in Israel hearts.
The grit and grime of the judgement and all the violence God sends on Jerusalem and the nations takes up 25 chapters.
So if you want to pray, and have intercession meetings until late at night, please read the Bible so that are sure to have the right God.
The God of the Bible does lots of things that the baby Christians are oblivious to. It not all about the preciousness of man (humanism) or politically correctness.
The Bible is thick, but you Love Jesus, right?
