Ezekiel 17:7-9

 Everything comes from God….every thing. 

Russia is not our friend.

 Without the love of God alive and well in our country we will not survive we will implode.

This allegory is focused around a main point and is followed by an explanation to guide the reader. The great eagle is the king of Babylon; Lebanon symbolizes Canaan, of which Jerusalem is the major city; the highest branch is the king of Jerusalem and Judah; the topmost young twig refers to the nobility of Judah; the land of trade is Babylon; the seed is a member of the royal family; the fertile field is the land where this royal offspring would rule; the other great eagle is the king of Egypt; and the vine is the remnant and ruler left in Judah. This remnant failed to prosper because they made a treaty with the Egyptian pharaoh. As a result, even the remnant was slain and scattered by Babylon’s army.

Ezekiel 17:7–9 (NKJV)

⁷ “But there was another great eagle with large wings and many feathers;

And behold, this vine bent its roots toward him,

And stretched its branches toward him,

From the garden terrace where it had been planted,

That he might water it.

⁸ It was planted in good soil by many waters,

To bring forth branches, bear fruit,

And become a majestic vine.” ’

⁹ “Say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:

“Will it thrive?

Will he not pull up its roots,

Cut off its fruit,

And leave it to wither?

All of its spring leaves will wither,

And no great power or many people

Will be needed to pluck it up by its roots.

Ezekiel 17:15 (NKJV)

¹⁵ But he rebelled against him by sending his ambassadors to Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Will he prosper? Will he who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and still be delivered?
