God peppers Jerusalem with coals of fire

Ezekiel 10 ends with: [18] Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

[19] And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
[20] This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
[21] Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
[22] And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.

"They literally have a war machine that they carry the glory of God on," explains Richard Jordan. "Literally, you're going to see the process of the Lord leaving and abandoning the nation Israel. It won't be permanent, but it's real.

Ezekiel 10:2: [2] And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

"The city of Jerusalem is going to be destroyed by fire. He's literally going to take coals of fire and pepper them on the city. It's going to be destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed.

Genesis 19: [24] Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

[25] And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

"Notice there are two Jehovahs in verse 24. The Lord rained down upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord in heaven.

"In a Hebrew Bible, in the Hebrew's concept of the godhead, they had no problem understanding there was more than one Jehovah.

"Sometimes people think the Old Testament doesn't have any idea about the trinity but it does, and in Ezekiel you'll see there's Jehovah on the throne, then there's Jehovah talking over here. It's because there's more than one member of the godhead.

"You have all of the godhead working in the casting out and taking away of the glory from Israel.

Revelation 11:7: [7] And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

[8] And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
[9] And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

"In other words, Jerusalem is in the spiritual condition of Sodom in Egypt. In Ezekiel 10, He judges them as He does Sodom because they're in the same spiritual idolatry and apostasy. God is going to wipe out His favored nation because of it.

"By the way, in II Kings 25 Jerusalem is destroyed by fire, so it's literally fulfilled but it's also a dress rehearsal for the last days.

"In a passage about the Antichrist, Isaiah 10: [16] Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

[17] And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

Isaiah 30: [30] And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

[31] For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
[32] And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
[33] For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

"The Lord passes over and fire comes out and destroys His enemies; that's what He's describing back here. 

Isaiah 33: [10] Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

[11] Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
[12] And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
[13] Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
[14] The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

"God's judgment is going to come on them and they're not going to be able to stand. These cherubim are charged with going out and waging war against the enemies of Jehovah."
