When Oolla was a name for the Kingdom of Israel and Ooliba was a name for Jerusalem. Does Israel have a right to exist?

 Ezechiel 23


Under the names of the two harlots, Oolla and Ooliba, are described the manifold disloyalties of Samaria and Jerusalem, with the punishment of them both.

 1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:  2 Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother.  3 And they committed fornication in Egypt, in their youth they committed fornication: there were their breasts pressed down, and the teats of their virginity were bruised.  4 And their names were Oolla the elder, and Ooliba her younger sister: and I took them, and they bore sons and daughters. Now for their names, Samaria is Oolla, and Jerusalem is Ooliba. 5 And Oolla committed fornication against me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that came to her,

[3] "Committed fornication": That is, idolatry.

[4] "Oolla the elder, and Ooliba her younger": God calls the kingdom of Israel Oolla, which signifies their own habitation, because they separated themselves from his temple: and the kingdom of Juda, Ooliba, which signifies his habitation in her, because of his temple among them in Jerusalem.

[5] "On the Assyrians": That is, the idols of the Assyrians: for all that is said in this chapter of the fornications of Israel and Juda, is to be understood in a spiritual sense, of their disloyalty to the Lord, by worshipping strange gods.
