Ezra 9:1-2
After these things had been done, the leaders came to me and said, "The people of Israel, including the priests and the Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the neighboring peoples with their detestable practices, like those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites,Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians and Amorites. They have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, and have mingled the holy race with the peoples around them. And the leaders and officials have led the way in this unfaithfulness."
It's God's confrontation hour at hand! He has been quietly waiting for these dreadful times to come. The testing period is over and now enters the decision time. God has prepared the days ahead for the unfaithful. They who have dared to corrupt His word with worldliness. They who have dared to mingle worldliness with the teachings of Christ. Who is actually responsible for this? You claimed yourself to be a leader, so be ready for what's coming your way. You claimed yourself to be a priest, be ready! You have led the way into this unfaithfulness. You must pay the price for your gross wickedness. You thought that God didn't mind this, but He does! You have been found unfaithful in his sight. You cannot hide anymore. You cannot run anywhere and hide now. Your sins against the LORD will be found out. You have dared to corrupt the way of Christ our Lord with the ways of the world and yet not admit it. You have turned many away to your idol called 'Money' instead. You have become grossly stubborn and rebellious towards the LORD and used His name in vain. You try to justify your actions by saying that what you have done, you were given authority to do so. Who gave you that authority to mingle God's written word with the world? You must answer that question now? Your pay back time has drawn nigh! You will not get away with this gross unfaithfulness. You have been committing this unfaithfulness for a very long. long time now. You never feared God when you did this. You continue in them till this day, even after being warned against it. You show no fear of God. You have begun to assume that you are God. Therefore, your end has finally come. Your total destruction is at hand. It's coming from God Himself, who sits on the throne and rules the Earth.
2 Corinthians 6: 14-18
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial ? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people." "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." "I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,says the Lord Almighty."
