Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house. Ezekiel 12: 2
In this session, Eddie discusses how Martha is a prophetic picture of Christianity and Mary is a prophetic picture of Judaism. He compares Mary and Martha to two sisters found in Ezekiel 23, Aholah and Aholibah:
And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah. Ezekiel 23: 4
We see that Aholah represents Samaria or the Northern Kingdom, and Aholibah represents Jerusalem, or the Southern Kingdom. Both sisters in this chapter, commit adultery against the God of Israel.
Mary and Martha, whose names mean rebellious, are likened unto the nation of Israel and breaking the covenant at Mt Sinai. They are a spiritual picture of Northern kingdom and Southern kingdom.
Similarly, Lazarus is a prophetic picture of the exiles of Israel.
Lazarus name means, “one whom God helps”. He is sick. This is a prophetic picture of the exiles of Israel who are described as afflicted, poor and sick. He is from Bethany. Bethany means house of the poor or afflicted. Because of breaking the covenant at Mt Sinai, the exiles of Israel are poor and afflicted. Yeshua is told in John 11: 3 “Lord the one whom you love is sick.” Literally it is speaking of Lazarus, but in a deeper prophetic meaning, the one whom the Lord loves is the nation of Israel. The nation of Israel is sick for departing from the Lawgiver, Yeshua and from His Torah.
Yeshua is going to go to Lazarus, he is going to resurrect Lazarus, which is a prophetic picture of gathering and uniting the 12 tribes of Israel. Just as He was glorified when He redeemed the Hebrews in delivering them out of Egypt, He will be glorified again, when he gathers and unites the 12 tribes in of Israel in the end of days.
