God loves his people from all the earth.

by Alejandro Roque Glez.

“And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land… I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, said the Lord Yahweh… Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey... and I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David… and he shall be their shepherd. And I Yahweh will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them… and I will make with them a covenant of peace…and the tree of the field shall yield her fruit… and I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more… and you my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, said the Lord Yahweh.”

(Ezekiel 34:13-16, 22-31)

What people would not want to have such a God! These are words of love, for a Father corrects his children with the intention of seeing fruition: physical, moral, and intellectually; preventing them from getting lost in the twilight of the vague and spiritual blindness attracting indescribable sufferings.

If you do not want to believe in God, it is your decision and it should be respected. You will not be safe and with much respect will go straight to the place you have chosen; in this life, between space and time, and in the next, now very close. What we cannot deny is the fact that the burden God put on man’s shoulders is bearable when you believe in him, and deeply analyze the Divine Plan which will shake the entire universe: physical and spiritual.

Faith is a caudal and route where our souls rest in hope; but faith is not everything, as believe in a “god” is not enough. You can––with the best intentions––have faith in Buddha, in Mohammed, faith in Cesar, or in a religious leader, faith in an ideology, and faith in ourselves. This does not open the door to heaven, and heaven one day will get closer to us. When God reveals to the apostles John and Peter as Christ was transfigured and talking with Moses and Elijah; they heard Yahweh’s voice from heaven clearly stating: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you him” (Mt 17:5).

It is he, not another. Faith in him.

It is the beloved Son who gives us salvation, who rose from death and thus redeemed our sins, to those who receive him as Lord and Savior. Do you think of it as a childish statement?

When a great religious of that time, Nicodemus, who supposedly knew the Holy Scriptures, approaches Jesus; he noticed how much this devout was lost in his understanding of heaven and human destiny, despite being a leader. Today there are many religious, pastors, leaders, and politicians who also do not believe in the Divinity of Jesus, much less in his resurrection (though publicly express otherwise); some of them even in front of large Christian ministries. Jesus felt a healthful shame, sorrow and love for Nicodemus, but still risking of losing his friendship, he told him clearly: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life… but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (Jn 3:1-18).

It is not Buddha, not Confucius, not Mother Earth, is not this of that President, not your own energy if it is positive or negative, but dear friend: it is the Son of the Creator, he is the Door to heaven, and in him is found the eternal love of God for us all.

In the quote of the prophet Ezekiel here analyzed, we can see––inside God’s Plan––that love which one day shall be clearly manifested in human history. First the prophet Ezekiel inspired by the Holy Spirit, has in mind the returning Jews would experience after another seventy years had elapsed, when taken into captivity, as also Jeremiah prophesied (Jer 25:11); however, the prophecy itself was addressed toward the End Times, when the Messiah Son of God will manifest himself as Liberator. And it is this love of God for his people and creatures, expressed here through the prophet, the one ensuring us that there is a certain future, a hope that is not unfounded.

The prophet Ezekiel is prophesying 2600 years later when Christ would come––near now––and his redeemed people of all the earth, his little sheep forgotten by a world of false vigors, should be redeemed and abide by all riversides and dwellings in their nations (v.13); in good pasture, with blessed flocks (v.15), and confirming the weak and sick in Everlasting Righteousness which will never end.

This is the Millennium of Jesus Christ (Rev 20:4-6), where he, as shepherd of his people (v.23) will pasture the flock of God; having the Principality (Is 9:6, Acts 5:30-31) on his shoulder (v.24), and ensuring that eternal peace on his children. The earth will yield its abundant fruit more than ever (v.27) for the security and human welfare. Everything shall be built again (36:10-15); and the people of God will never heard others’ insults or taking reproaches, neither their children would die due to disasters and external invasions. Therefore they will be gathered from all lands not leaving one behind (36:24-28), and he shall sprinkle ‘clear water’ upon God’s children thus being ‘cleansed’ of all mortal and spiritual filth, when the Lord give them a new heart and spirit, by receiving the pledge of the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:32), and so they must walk, keep, and implement the rights and commandments of God while harvesting rewards of love, happiness, health and eternal life (Jn 3:16).

Jesus Christ will rule (37:22, 24-25) from Jerusalem, Holy Mountain, using the administrative system of twelve ministries (Mt 19:28), and laying down––as central government––the place of God’s Temple among us (37:26-28); equally as testimonial Sanctuary to the Sacred History and Plan of God throughout the ages (Is 56:1-7). That Temple, in its early stages shall be built––soon––at the beginning and prior to the Advent of Jesus and his millenarian kingdom.
