Probably after the European Beast Power has overcome the USA, the Ephraim nations attempt to make a deal with Europe.<br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(230, 0, 0);\">Hosea 7:11-12<br><\/span><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 102, 204);\">\u201cThe people of Israel <span style=\"color:#000000;\">(Ephraim in other translations)<\/span> have become like silly, witless doves, first calling to Egypt, then flying to Assyria for help. But as they fly about, I will throw my net over them and bring them down like a bird from the sky. I will punish them for all the evil they do.<\/span><br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(230, 0, 0);\">Hosea 9:3<br><\/span><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 102, 204);\">You may no longer stay here in the LORD \u2019s land. Instead, you will return to Egypt, and in Assyria you will eat food that is ceremonially unclean.<\/span><br><br>Ephraim will face captivity and hard labour.<br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(230, 0, 0);\">Hosea 10:10-11<br><\/span><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 102, 204);\">Now whenever it fits my plan, I will attack you, too. I will call out the armies of the nations to punish you for your multiplied sins. \u201cIsrael is like a trained heifer treading out the grain \u2014&nbsp; an easy job she loves. But I will put a heavy yoke on her tender neck. I will force Judah to pull the plough and Israel to break up the hard ground. <\/span><br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(230, 0, 0);\">Hosea 12:1<br><\/span><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 102, 204);\">The people of Israel feed on the wind; they chase after the east wind all day long. They pile up lies and violence; they are making an alliance with Assyria while sending olive oil to buy support from Egypt. <br><br><\/span>In the very last verse of Hosea we read that the wise understand what is to happen.<br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(230, 0, 0);\">Hosea 14:9<br><\/span><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 102, 204);\">Let those who are wise understand these things. Let those with discernment listen carefully. The paths of the LORD are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them. But in those paths sinners stumble and fall. <br><br><\/span>In Amos, a sinful nation (Jacob \u2013 USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel) will be destroyed and scattered, but a few will be spared and gathered together after the tribulation is over.<br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(230, 0, 0);\">Amos 9:8-10<br><\/span><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 102, 204);\">\u201cI, the Sovereign LORD, am watching this sinful nation of Israel. I will destroy it from the face of the earth. But I will never completely destroy the family of Israel, \u201d says the LORD. \u201cFor I will give the command and will shake Israel along with the other nations as grain is shaken in a sieve, yet not one true kernel will be lost. But all the sinners will die by the sword \u2014 all those who say, \u2018Nothing bad will happen to us.\u2019<br><br><\/span>The overcome nations will be taken as slaves and sold throughout the world.<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 102, 204);\"><\/span><\/p><br><span style=\"color: rgb(230, 0, 0);\">Ezekiel 27:12-14<br><\/span><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 102, 204);\">\u201cTarshish sent merchants to buy your wares in exchange for silver, iron, tin, and lead. Merchants from Greece, Tubal, and Meshech brought slaves and articles of bronze to trade with you. \u201cFrom Beth-togarmah came riding horses, chariot horses, and mules, all in exchange for your goods. <\/span>\n{&#8220;title&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;nav_menu&#8221;:&#8221;22&#8243;}\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1989,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1689","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1689"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1689\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2001,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1689\/revisions\/2001"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
