Christians, what did you god mean with this Ezkiel 23:19?

It’s pretty obvious from the outset that Ezek 23 is a parable which uses the “whorish” behaviour of a pair of women as a metaphor for the unfaithful and ungodly behaviours of Israelites from two nations; “Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.”

I believe that the biblical interpretation would tell us that the message of Ezekiel 23 is as a warning to the nations of Earth to not be godless in our actions toward other nations, or God will give permission for the other nations to kill the former.

"There were two women, the daughters of one mother: With this statement the allegory of the two sister is introduced.

The chapter is actually a restatement of the unfaithfulness of Judah that Ezekiel presented earlier in chapter 16.

The emphasis in the present chapter, however, is on Judah's trusting alliances with other nations, rather than her confidence in idols shown in chapter 16.

Aholah and Aholibah are the names assigned in Ezekiel's parable to Samaria and Jerusalem, respectively, the capitals of Israel and Judah.

Both became spiritual prostitutes. The entire chapter is an exposition of this theme.

The judgment that fell on Samaria should have been a sufficient warning to Jerusalem, but it was not.

Despite line 19 they insist that this story is not about an actual woman. It is, mostly, because they can't read. And they have a real talent for not seeing verses that put things in perspective.

Ezekiel 23:19 Oholah’s failure to trust in Jehovah and to remain faithful to him proved to be calamitous. Ezekiel 23:9, 10 states: “[Jehovah] gave her into the hand of those passionately loving her, into the hand of the sons of Assyria, toward whom she had lusted. They were the ones that uncovered her nakedness. Her sons and her daughters they took, and her they killed even with sword. And she came to be infamy to women, and acts of judgment were what they executed upon her.” Yes, Jehovah abandoned the northern kingdom to the brutal Assyrians who had passionately loved to force a worldly alliance upon it. The Assyrians acted as executioners of divine judgment, giving symbolic Oholah the treatment that an adulterous wife deserved. They “uncovered her nakedness” by stripping the land of her Israelite children, deporting them far off. And with the sword of war they killed her as a political nation, destroying her national capital Samaria, in 740 B.C.E. Oholah indeed became “infamy to women,” that is, to pagan kingdoms of that time. They looked down upon her as a nation that had gained shameful infamy for herself and they shuddered at her fate.

Going back.

At one time all 12 tribes of Israel were faithful to God. The relationship is described as a 'marriage'.

Later, ten tribes of Israel refused allegiance to the royal house of David and set up their own kingdom.

This Northern ten-tribe kingdom, Oholah (symbolic name), refused wifelike subjection to God and became idolatrous. Oholah (meaning “Her Tent”) set up her own tent for carrying on religious worship. She forgot God, for she went over to the worship of the golden calf and later adopted Baal worship. Oholah also lost her trust in God as her Protector and played politics with pagan nations, especially Assyria.

The Southern Kingdom, Oholibah, in keeping with the meaning of her name (“My Tent Is in Her”), was favored in having God’s tent or temple in her capital city Jerusalem. But eventually she failed to appreciate this.

She defied the warning example of Oholah and carried on her spiritual prostitution in an even more extreme fashion.

Forgetting God and her marriage-like covenant with him, Oholibah, also played politics with Assyria.

And she began looking southward to Egypt for military aid to support her rebellion.

Ezekiel 23:19 "And she kept increasing her acts of prostitution,calling to mind the days of her youth when she prostituted herself in the land of Egypt".

A person can better know the true meanings of Bible verses if he or she meditates on them while carefully saying Hail Marys.

19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled
