Ezekiel 38; Verses 17-23; Gog and Magog (cont); 7th Trumpet/7th Vial Showdown

Though Christ will not be in the flesh. No picture can do the timing of the 7th trumpet/7th vial justice when Christ comes.


Finishing up the absolutely amazing chapter of Ezekiel 38. Thank you for taking a look †

(Ezekiel 38:17-23) "Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

(We're going way back here to the beginning. Israel (Jacob) himself).

Let's take a look,

(Genesis 25:23-25) "And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

(Of course, this speaking of the beginnings and the end result of the migrations here in the end-times. It is no mistake that Russia favorite color is red also representative of the commie system. Here in the end-times we have the climax of this amazing prophecy. The bitter, envy, jealousy and hatred of the rejection of God and against His people. However, we will see the jealousy (the right kind that is) for HIS people. That is the tribes of Israel, that make up the Christian nations. But here specifically the United States).

24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau."

Back to Ezekiel 38:18,

18And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.

(Also, the split. The LAND of Israel as satan is claiming to be Christ and America. Russia wants control of the whole world, with the kings of the east. But we know after that hypothetical is obtained they will kill each other off too. Only a coalition for their evil common cause. That's what Esau is all about, selling out and selling people out. Liars).

(Revelation 16:16) "And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."

Back to Ezekiel 38:19,

19For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

(That shaking up from the very foundation as the Lord is coming back to bring order and order to the nations).

(Isaiah 13:4-5) "The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

(Mountains = nations. Tumultuous = like arrogant roars).

(Remember, most of the world with the, "peace, peace" message satan is bringing claiming to be Christ/God and the savior of the world).

5They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land."

(The LORD is going to show who does the breaking down and building back up. Psalm 18 is awesome as well. Going through the same time period for Christians, and the flood waters as the children of Israel scattered have the world come agsint them in every direction. Right called wrong, and wrong called right).

Back to Ezekiel 38:20. This is the 7th trumpet (the coming of Christ, trumpet battle call/call to action; Revelation 11:15; I Thessalonians 4:17; I Corinthians 15:52; Matthew 24:29-31 to name a few), to the 7th vial (the war/judgment; Revelation 16:17) the coming of Christ:

20So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

(There will be no place to hide now. They all say the Lord is not watching--both sides. Catching them off guard they won't know what them. And the mountains they came together with? The nations. Comes right back on them in the physical feeling as they want the mountains to fall on them. Wanting to crawling under a rock. Caught red-handed. But this will not be caught shame and then remorseful and sorry to repentance).

The Lord removes the mountains showing them there is no place to hide from the guilt and shame of their actions.

(Revelation 16:20-21) "And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great."

Back to Ezekiel 38:21,

21And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.

(The Lord's mountains = the people individually of the tribes of Israel. The sword = the Word of God. Naked and exposed. They did not want to repent having their deeds reproved? No escape. All exposed now).

22And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

(This is for their own good as we head into the Millennium. Shape up or ship out to the lake of fire after the Millennium. We simply cannot have Christ-haters. Lovers of self and followers of satan around for eternity).

23Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD."

(That is the point. All to know for their own good. So it shall be the Lord spoke it, and remember every knee will bow in acknowledgment in who Christ and says He is. No getting around every soul will do it. Whether willingly or forced to do it. That does not mean they will make it after the Millennium. The Millennium is all about discipline. Hence discipleship. That will not escape anyone either).

Finally here, the song of Moses and Revelation 10. That shaking with the 7 thunders that is going to bring bone chilling spine effects. The children of Israel (and the whole body of Christ) here need not be worried. Remember, the Ezekiel 37 during this time. Bone on to bone for them to stand. And stand tall as the mountains of Israel, the majesty of the Lord. They have a spine. Not as the mountain of Babylon, all the nations (mountains in one).

(Also remember the scorpions after the 5th trumpet? Scorpions turn the back bone to mush from the inside out sucking in the prey's liquids).

(Deuteronomy 32:40-43) "For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

(The swearing as seen in Revelation 10 with the 7 thunders. You can count on it. As sure as you see the rest of God's Word come true, follow through waiting on Christ/Him).

Revelation 10 and references further below:

Back to Deuteronomy 32:41,

41If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

(This is that sword from the garden of Eden. Meaning access to Christ--the tree of life. No they will have to wait after the Millennium. This is complete and utter belittling and degradation in mimicry and satire from the Lord regarding the reward. This one world system they are building without Him he gets the last laugh).

42I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

(Them arrows as they reject faith. The shield of faith that protects from the enemy they reject. Devour to lay it naked and this the great supper of God as well; Revelation 19. You have the marriage supper of the Lamb. Then the great supper of God).

43Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people."

(And so it shall be). More references:

(Matthew 24:27-28) "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

(Lightning then thunder).

28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles (vultures) be gathered together."

(The great supper of God).

(Revelation 19:17-19) "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

(Standing in the sun because the day of the Lord is a day of darkness where HE is the light and the only light. That causes all darkness the want to flee from the light. Their eyes simply cannot bare it).

18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

(This is degradation. Meaning the vultures-scavengers feast on what's left from the sword. No marriage supper for them. They don't like the "last supper" and drinking the blood of Christ, but that of Babylon).

19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Post references: Remember Christ comes like lighting = the speed of light as He is the light.

(Revelation 10:4-7) "And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

5And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

6And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets."

(Ezekiel 11:14-21) "Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

15Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.

16Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.

17Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

18And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.

19And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

20That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

21But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD."
Amen †

Matthew 7; Verses 1-6; What "Do Not Judge" Really Means

Thank you for taking a look †

Maybe the most abused Scripture in all of the Bible. And abused Scripture is of satan. The evil spirits say, "don't judge me" as well. In their defensive rebelling. That is not to say the person has an evil spirit, but they are certainly being influenced by one or many of them.

Any Christian wants to be corrected according to God's law and Word.

(Matthew 7:1-6) "Judge not, that ye be not judged.

(What this means? Don't judge by your own standards/words. Esteeming one's self. I'll give an example when I first read this and sought to understood what it meant by following the whole subject. "Who made me lawgiver"? Then even deeper look to what it meant: We make u our own standards for others, higher standards we cannot keep ourselves. When they cannot reach them standards they are looked down upon. But yet, justifying ourselves? This is an evil thing, condemning them in our minds. Therefore condemning ourselves even more, because we're already condemned through unbelief and the love of sin. Other ways to judge: Not forgiving one who has repented. Sayings like, "their is no hope for you." That is only true if your not a Christian. Exchanging your past repented of sins, for their current desire of sin, and to live by the flesh. All in their own misery their lack to forgive they do not even know where they stand. Their own spirit and have forgotten the cross. Refer to Matthew 18:32-35).

Furthermore, we should not be judging people to the lake of fire. Commonly said "hell." Though no one is judged until after the Millennium! After the Great White Throne Judgment. What is not happening right now is people literally burning in hell forever now. READ! So stop condemning and judging people who are even gone and physically passed now).

(John 3:18-19) "He that believeth (conviction of truth) on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

(It's a given. We're all guilty before God before salvation).

19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil."

(Christians seek righteousness, reproof of sin, and justice so people are not condemned. This is evidence of having of the Holy Spirit in personal discernment).

Back to Matthew 7:2,

2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

(There you have it. Making up your own standards is what one will be judged by. Whatever one dishes out it's coming right back on them).

Take the pharisees as an example. They made up their own laws/principals/standards and could not even keep them. Suppose one thinks they are exempt from this? Then they must be real special. This is a given and puts that burden of condemnation on others. You cannot have double standards then clear yourself.

3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

(Furthering on. They are looking at others sins/faults which are less, you can forget about looking. It's not even up for consideration to look at themselves. Christ is simply using this for comparison to look at one's self through the eyes of God. This is an exhaustive attempt of Christ reaching out).

4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

(In other words, who do you think you are? Really? your going to help someone by making it up. No as we They are being dragged right along with).

5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

(Play-acting. "Photo ops." Playing church. Point being, they are in it to look good. Appear holy, but we see this through the defensiveness of not responding to God's Word. They cannot even begin to help another until they help themselves. All while spreading their misery to others. Complainers, trouble makers, ungrateful and not thankful. Misery love company).

6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."

Now the Lord loves His animals. But we are looking at their characteristics in the negative. Dogs and swine have no consideration for anything unless trained. Trample under feet =  Walk all over you. Then take no thought and come back again. This is senseless.

(Now Christ gives some advice to stay away from these arrogant people. They want to roll around in the dirt/dust and mud then think their coming to clean someone up. They need to get of their holy high horses, playing the hokey-pokey. Claiming God, but making it up as they go along. We know their claiming Christian, making up their standards saying, "do not judge me." Is their wall of defensiveness in bitterness and self-justification against God first. Then to others. They have not learned true repentance).

(A dog and swine come for the feeding trying to walk over Christians being doormats, go get dirty mucking it up, eating anything without even consideration, taking not much thought whether it be good for them or not. Their feeding frenzy is cut off when you cut them off. Dogs and swine live by only the flesh, then judge other Christians--they try to. They might you see you sin, but never even considering their desire for sin, because all they do is live by the flesh. As swine and dogs live by the flesh).

The flip side of that. I've seen a lot of dogs, learn enough of the Word here to do things on purpose, then hold that Christian to forgiveness, saying your not doing God's Word if you don't. Yep, forgive them. Rebuke them. Then say bye, hit the road jack. Forgiveness and keeping someone at distance are two different things. Christians are not door mats. One must discern if a person calls themselves Christian and making honest attempts in sincerity. That should not be hard.

Some references:

(Philippians 3:2-4) "Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

(In other words, watch out and pay attention. Obviously, you have to be able to identify a dog. Hopefully, after awhile they'll come along and start being the human being God made them to be. Commandment one through Christ).

3For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

4Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more."

(Psalm 35:19-25) "Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

20For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

21Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

22This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

23Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

24Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

25Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up."

AMEN †

Matthew 12; Verses 38-42; Sign-seekers

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 12:38-42) "Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

(First off notice Christ always confirms the Old Testament. Here Jonah and Solomon in just 5 verses).

We're not done with these pharisees yet. They just keep coming back for more. They should have learned through casting out evil spirits and put the sword of the Spirit to them that was a huge sign done by the finger of God. Healing the sick, diseased, and blind just not good enough. What is to learn here: everyone wants to see God, say God. But if one cannot see past themselves following their own ways. They would not recognize it anyway. When one needs an "epiphany" they think, that is an epiphany in itself. That is Romans 8:18-23 (reference in comment box) the soul and spirit crying out for something more. But they cannot find it. Humble yourselves according to the Lord, looking at His laws (Galatians 3:23-26).

39But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

40For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The sign was the crucifixion and resurrection Christ is referring to here. Pretty amazing here. He is telling them what they are going to do and have not a clue. Another thing to learn if your naysayer. The heart of the earth = symbolic for hell, the dead, and darkness. "Hell" as in the bad side of the gulf (Luke 16). Where unbelievers are currently are. NO ONE is in the lake of fire burning forever now. That is false teaching. No one has been sentenced at the Great White Throne Judgment. That is after the Millennium. "Hell", is a temporary place of judgment, and of degradation. Also, no one soul and spirit is laying 6 feet underground right now in a hole. The soul and spirit at physical death return to Heaven and go to the good or bad side of the gulf. This is why it's written for 3 days Christ went to the bad side of the gulf, the souls and spirits being held in prison (in mind too) and was successful at converting many,

(I Peter 3:18-19) "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

19By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison."

Why? Because the Lord is fair, and more fair than can even be measured. They had not a chance to hear the Gospel. Grace through faith. That God in the flesh came to be their sin sacrifice. THE GIFT of God in His compassion and mercy.

You have a physical body and spiritual body. I Corinthians 15:35 to the end of the chapter explains both bodies. Extremely important.

Back to Matthew 12:41,

41The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

They repented. Now this would have been quite degrading. Here we would have already been through the time period of Elijah, Ahab, and Jezebel, 100 years prior approximately. So by this time Assyria had and was building and gaining strength as a superpower (Israel not paying attention to what their enemies doing) who would then take most of the ten northern tribes captive (10 northern tribes = whole house of Israel). Because of of their godlessness that only increased. Now when it's too late you really see the desperate and degrading acts. Kings trying to buy off other Kings throwing the people's money away even more.

42The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here."

This would be Arabia. Southern Arabia then, very southern part of Saudi Arabia now. Well, she went through desert heat, dust bowl's, etc in her persistence. to come hear the wisdom and intellect of Solomon on account of the Lord. Why? Because those are most responsible in the first place are held more accountable.

Reference:
(Romans 8:18-23) "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

22For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. "
Amen †

Matthew 12; Verses 33-37; A Tree and it's Fruit

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 12:33-37) "Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

This is about it here. Accusation after accusation against Christ, and the disciples.

Christ referring to satan's beginnings as the tree of knowledge of good and evil setting the standard (we are called trees up and down Scripture). As we are not to take in their fruit. That is look upon as edible, then going for it, and then consuming and digesting it (this is a thought out decision). Once you take in some bad fruit, not knowing it's bad for you but think it's good for you. Your in trouble. Who goes and picks a rotten out apple that's been softened, with holes and worms. Christ warned over and over again not to take in the doctrine of those who call themselves "jews', and are not. Why would you? Because so and so false preacher says they are God's chosen? Revelation 2:9; 3:9. Christ says they are not. Just as these pharisees.

satan was himself in the garden of Eden in them roles. Not a literal talking tree, and not a literal serpent. But them are his characteristics.

(Genesis 2:17) "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

Fruits are the results of the health of the tree (the origin--the heart). Getting enough water (Christ the living water) and sunlight (The light of the world)?

34O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

You off spring of the serpent (going back to Genesis 3:15 written they would crucify Christ. The mouth is the "spokesperson" of the heart, showing the condition.

35A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Treasure = What they have in store, and in store for you. Where their valuables are kept. Locked away and what is near and dear to them. This also speaks to belief/repentance. When a person loses the treasure they held near and dear to them it's painful. "Oh, my money, my money."

However, after awhile most (not all) people come to a degree of acceptance of losing it. With Christ we have to give up all. Denying ourselves, and acceptance will come.

36But I say unto you, That every idle (lazy, without purpose on the job) word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

(We do this we need to repent. Essentially wasting time the Lord gave us not being good and faithful stewards. But we see it begins with the heart. That which is not done in faith is sin).

37For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."

(Justified = Rendered righteous. Well I thought my works don't justify me? But the cross? That's right. and which is why Christ began with the heart, then the results here).

(Righteousness = The condition acceptable to God (grace through faith). The doing right (works). Simple cause and effect. As we have also been over the study faith by works. We'll put it in the comment box below).

(James 2:14) "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

(Christ went over this over and over about servants who misuse and abuse what the Lord has given them. They just sit there and do nothing they are evil and wicked in some parables. Christ puts you in charge of that treasury and you going to steal? What He's given? Yeah, so did Judas in action. The unprofitable servant Matthew 25:14-30. Not being good stewards).

Like giving your children a gift to share with the other children but they say no. What does the parent say? A spanking? Your grounded? Very, very, selfish kid and we want them to learn to begin to share. But it's going to take a little correction through punishment.

Well, how much more with the Lord. You can surely expect chastisement (He chastises those He loves) trying to correct behavior, and if that don't work there is nothing left.

(James 2:18-20) "Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

(They will naturally be there, a given).

19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

(The word believe here from the Greek means they believe He exists, of course).

20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead"?

(Just like the dead walking evil spirits).
Another amazing parable that covers this in reference, But a different angle. Important because this is dealing with the hour of temptation. Those for that "one hour." Who will come out of the tribulation. And not having the entitled attitude (verse 10-11). The hour of temptation is of course when satan claims to be Christ/God.

(Matthew 20:1-16) "For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

2And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

4And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

5Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

6And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

7They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

8So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

9And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

10But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

11And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,

12Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

13But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

14Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

15Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

16So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen."



Amen †

Galatians 3; Verses 6-9; Abraham As An Example

Thank you for taking a look †

(Galatians 3:6-9) "Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

As always, Paul uses Abraham as an example in the difference between serving the Lord through faith vs. serving the law.

(Now the Word accounted comes from the Greek word logizomai from the root logos, where we get the word logic, the skilled art of reasoning. This should be a given. God calls we respond. Therefore not by our own works. No one can say they chose God from the get-go. We choose when we respond which gives Him the credit. He does the saving. The Lord always makes the first move is the point).

(Righteousness = the condition acceptable to God, then doing right).

7Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
The Father of many nations (umbilical cord to umbilical cord). Because Abraham physically fathered them being example of having that faith in this wilderness called the World. But here spiritually speaking as in the body of Christ.

8And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
(Here heathen would be foreign nations not worshiping the one true God. Referring back to the OT to the time of Abraham. Abraham knew the Gospel was coming. Matter of fact taking Isaac to Mt. Moriah where Christ would be crucified and saw the vision of the crucifixion. God showed Abraham, would he would not let Abraham do himself. Sacrifice his son Isaac as Christ was sacrificed. Amazing. This also used as an example as the heathens would sacrifice their children back then--aborting them. This is all Abraham would know be surrounded by that. The motives are no different in child sacrifice in idolatry. Above all rooted in and for selfish reasons stemming from worldly reasoning skills).

(Genesis 22:4) "Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off."

This is also why Christ would say,

(John 8:56) "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad."

Back to Galatians 3:9,

9So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham."

And so it is.

Galatians 3; Verses 1-5; Living by Faith/Serving the Law

Thank you for taking a look †

Now remember as Christians the law is not done away with. The law is there for correction while following and serving Christ. I would hope so unless one is making up their own law and saying they are serving Christ in grace? We should be living serving Christ in relationship (not religion, but relationship) first. Therefore, the ability to keep God's law in the process. Thus being in God's will.

(Galatians 3:1-5) "O foolish (unintelligent in understanding) Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

(Kind of like did someone put a spell on you? The salvation message was clearly laid out. But, as we will see man's natural gravitation is to go back to self-justification through serving the law. This can even come through backsliding/going back to sin for a bit. Trying to make up for it/lost time, etc. We repent and move on, this of course can be easier said than done in our minds. And that is the danger in warnings to not backslide).

2This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Which one was it again?

3Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
(Is living by the law going to complete you? this is of the flesh--sacrilegious--in vain. Making the cross null and void. Ultimately saying, we don't need Christ and the cross--and the power through it carried out through the power of the Holy Spirit).

4Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

(The suffering of the flesh. Christ paid that price, that we may live complete in the and through the Holy Spirit).

5He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?


Reflection, what did the changing in you? What gave the power to cast out evil spirits, power over satan, be healed? Giving peace of mind?

Cross reference, living by the flesh as opposed the the Holy Spirit:

(Colossians 2:20-23) "Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

(From the cross. Rudiments = The fundamental evil things/of the flesh. Okay they are doing that. But they are viewing it wrong, their perspective).

21(Touch not; taste not; handle not;"

(Living not to do. Just as in sin/breaking God's law. We don't live not to sin. We live for Christ and serve Christ in response of the cross. Then naturally you won't sin as He did not. Which is why we learn the Word to even accomplish that).

22Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

(The things of the world are wasting away).

23Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh."

Two complete opposite perspectives. As we see one is serving man and the law (God's), and one is serving Christ.

(It looks good to man. Moral correctness. It neglects the body because it's not living by the Spirit. Extremely tough on the mind. Essentially, we're living not to do, instead of living to do. Kind of like get busy living, or get busy dying. Living not to be punished, living free. Living in fear of consequences, or living doing right and having confidence). 

(Now this is a strange thing about the world. Because they may not like Christians, however Christians are respected for moral standards generally speaking. Surely, Christians have what the world desires but cannot find a way out because they cannot humble themselves through belief/repentance having the forgiveness of sins.

(For example, I can live by not cheating on my wife, or live by truly loving her, which covers not cheating on her. Serving Christ. As always, God covers kills two birds with one stone, making the work less. The LORD takes away and removes burdens. He does not give them or add to them).

(I can live by not doing drugs. Or I can look to Hebrews 2:18 and draw from that help looking at how Christ was tempted. He was tempted to be king of the world then twice. Then tempted to be "breadwinner" to the poor (Matthew 4; Luke 4).

You can apply the above to any sin.

Revelation 21; Verses 15-21; Eternal Heaven; The Third & Final Heaven & Earth Age

Thank you for taking a look †

(Revelation 21:15-21) "And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

(Nothing cheap and flimsy here. The author of science about to show HIS great architectural "light work." even the measuring "stick" made of gold. Notice, when Christ comes back for the Millennium He is coming with a rod of iron, not so here. So we're about to see here is justice meted out equally/balanced, organized with splendor and majesty for the King. God is using all the precious stones here for righteousness. The opposite is of course is what man used to worship and balanced his justice according to. They won't be Heaven, and they deserve it. Especially after that rod of iron of the Millennium, knowing full well who Christ was and is then still following satan. satan worshipers we don't want them around, and there will be more than we can really understand (from Revelation 20:7-9).

16And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

(1,500 miles square and high. Royal justice, no man could ever make like something like this. Too many unrepentant bureaucrats have to have a piece of pie. Even the Babylonian queen from before the Millennium. She said me, me, me give me what I want let me sit in my palace, rule the World and claim love. Also, notice the brides wife language is dropped from this point henceforth. Jerusalem never to play the harlot again--Revelation 11:8--also, where Christ was crucified. The city well big enough for all the tribes of Israel, to now live how they were to from the get to. There is no need to any further because there is nothing to spiritually fornicate with anymore).

17And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

(The measure of a man being used to show what man cannot pull of Himself, nor with satan's help).

18And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

(An impossible task for man, though he may try. No concrete here, the very foundation "poured" on beauty).

20The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

(Every color in sparkling beauty overlapping in combination being depicted here, with transparency, nothing hidden--no darkness. Those who love the light and the beauty given to it will be in it).

21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass."

(That "yellow brick road" is only a cheap imitation. We're off to see the King, but not for a heart, brain, and courage, the absence of fear. God gives all those things before we go see HIM. And only those who have them will be going to see HIM. The Lord as the giver all things. Every good gift comes from above).

Amen †

Revelation 21; Verses 22-27; What Will Eternal Heaven Be Like?

Thank you for taking a look †

(Revelation 21:22-27) "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

(No need for the spiritual physical Millennium temple anymore. As all who want the Lord will be in Heaven on Earth in the end).

23And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

The Father and son are one. Immanuel, "God with us." Why is this? because there will be no one in Heaven who has not been redeemed by Christ. In this age, or the Millennium to come. Meaning, the Father made the way, the son accomplished it. This is how it accomplished in the end--Christ is God in the flesh. Amazingly, though there will be no moons we will have a calendar for eternity. Don't be late :)

Let's see Christ teach this in absolute depth:

(John 14:5-7) "Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."

(Mission accomplished).

Back to Revelation 21:24,

24And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

(Saved by the lamb in the role of savior. As stated before, ALL redeemed by Yahshua HaMashiach = YHVH's savior--the anointed one. YHVH).

We just went through the tribes of Israel. Now for the ethnos/ethnic people. Biblically speaking, this means the ethnic people within the nations. The non-Adamic line.

We must go through this once again to rightly divide the Word: The races, God created the races on the 6th day (Negroids, Mongloids) HE saw it very good, and Caucasians on the 8th day ('eth ha adam from the Hebrew). Of course, science supports 3 races. Why is this important? Because God thinks it is. Remember, it was the Disciples job 2k years ago to begin to bring the Gospel and make Disciples of all ethnos "nations." (Matthew 28:18-20).

(They will have their own Kings and Queens, representatives).

Reference:

(Isaiah 60:11) "Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought."

Okay, we have that fixed back to Revelation 21:25,

25And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

(Nothing shut, nothing hidden. All access, all the time. Ever want to get access to one of the rich snob politicians, kings now? God allows access to HIM anytime, and even now. And the Lord views no person as peasant in relationship to other people. He is no respecter or persons).

26And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

(And so they will. Think about that, the Kings of the Earth go to see THE KING, bowing down. What they should be doing now. Which is why they won't be in Heavenly eternity).

27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."

(That is unclean, then works, and living a lie. We're supposed to believe/repent produce works, and live by and in the truth).

Amen †

Matthew 12; Verses 1-8; The Sabbath Day

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 12:1-8) "At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.

(This would of been permissible even according to the Sabbath. But not if your a bureaucrat pharisee and their made up "paperwork." From their made up traditions).

(The so-called lawgivers in God's name would watch someone suffer on account of them. Then tell people that it's God's Will, the sufferer is in God's will suffering. Just pure rotten to the core. We ask why does God allow suffering in this respect? People do).

This would of been totally permissible per Deuteronomy 23:25 as well:

25"When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn."

(With just your hands you can get a meals worth, take what you need for just this reason. Not going hungry and be on your way. But come with a sickle and you've came with a plan, and a plan to take your harvest from someone else' labor).

Back to Matthew 12:2,

2But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

sabbath (rest) day. Now remember, amazingly Christ just got done teaching this (in our last post closing out the chapter):

(Matthew 11:28) "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

(Notice how a pharisee just shows up lying in wait, playing along till an opportune moment trying to trip others who are doing right up. Actually it was lawful, as the Sabbath was made for man. But because of a certain day a hypocrite would rather people go hungry. This just does not concern the Sabbath, but whatever God has declared and people make up in direct opposition. No different than condemners now though you are doing right. They are going to pay severely).

(This also tells us Christ just did not come to make food appear out of nowhere. What good would that do? Not very much as He also training the disciples then apostles to get Gospel/God's Word out in their Ministries).

(We've seen what happens when free handouts in this country do. Entitled and could care less).

Back to Matthew 12:3,

3But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

(Y'all know Scripture aye? You don't even know what your own job is).

4How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

Two examples, and using the job they should be doing! Far be it from them and way over their heads. So, we're going to see why the threats began to come in the next few posts. This hit em' right where it hurts. The Sabbath was made for man. King David was also God's chosen:

(Psalm 89:20) "I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him."

(Back to Matthew 12:5),

5Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless (innocent, not guilty)?

(The pharisee, the consummate do as I say, not as I do hypocrites. By the standards the pharisees set this would of been more work than plucking the crops. You see they were guilty of their own standards they set for others. That is condemning others, thus judging them. Contrary to those who say who are you to judge when they are caught not following God's real law, and in their own sin).

6But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

(At this point nothing would of been greater then the temple. Now Christ is going after their collection plate express they have set up, while handing out tradition not in God's Word, condemnation. Striking their hand in bondage to others).

Man imposed guilt which Christ hates. I do too.

7But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

And people are up in arms when someone is falsely imprisoned?

Now Christ going back to square one. Because what was being sacrificed was not even for sinning against God and His laws. But what the pharisees made up and then finding them guilty. Then in their usury got rich of the people. This sounds like a main church preacher today? Matthew 24:5-6. Warning after warning of the false preachers. And it begins not only with one verse, but two verses back to back. That is a biblical rarity.

Mercy because mercy is the result of compassion. Sacrifice towards God is no good and just an attempted buy off if your not doing His laws. Not doing His laws you very well cannot be in His will.

8For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day."

Lord = What He says goes. Christ is using the word Lord here exerting and showing the power to the pharisees in who decides.

(Physical rest a good and needed thing with some extra time to do some reflecting to the Lord. It does take you out of the daily grind. But the sabbath was to benefit us in the physical).

We do the right and good thing to do at anytime of any day. And that is the heart of a Christian anyway to go an extra mile for someone else (compassion and mercy). Even if it were the sabbath Day. Christ is our sabbath. We do it everyday.

Amen †

Matthew 12; Verses 9-14; Sabbath Day (cont)

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 12:9-14) "And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

More nonsense coming from the "elite" heartless, mindless, gutless pharisee here.

As I always point out the dissociation with Christ and the disciples from them "their synagogue."

Which synagogues would that be? Revelation 2:9; 3:9, the synagogues of satan. Have you ever read it? Read what Christ approves and why He approves of it? If I said Jesus was my savior and Lord I'd be digging deep to find out what Jesus says.

10And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

We are talking severe nerve damage here. Attacking his CNS (the man with the withered hand). So, the man is worse off than losing his hands. He is losing motor skills/functions as well.

(Properly called "pharisee-care" here, I presume. Amazing you have to open THE BOOK and TRULY care for people to find out what's in it).

(The prior post it was eating while hungry on the sabbath. This time healing for the betterment of people. Two simple basic functions in life with anyone with half a heart would agree it's okay. That is the trick of an obama-care, at the surface "no one gets left behind." But actually when researched it makes it harder for the people going through hardships in life, less money, less able to eat healthy raising government dependence more. Oh yes, on top of government approved gmo's and everything to make people more sick and medical dependent. What else? Made up Dx from man in a psychological condition imposing guilt and shame where God does not. We just went over that in the last post. The overall goal of course the satanic goal with satan coming as Christ/God-the savior of the world).

(The goal: to make man government dependent on all basic functions and necessities in life while they are sleeping going after all the non-essentials in life).

11And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

(Common sense questions now. They all would because first it was valuable to them. Their possession/personal property. Doing so, they show they would care more for an animal than a human-being. Sounds A LOT like PETA. God loves His animals, and then He told us how to prioritize what He created. So that we do not destroy the Earth. PETA of course makes animals equal to humans, but really higher than humans. Nothing new there. What you worship is what you have value more, making idols. The pride of their hands, and what they can make up in their own minds. Why the Bible uses that language. The hands (works) always follows the mind. Totally confused and lost).

12How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

(There you have it. Christ using that sheep reference here. Today the price is about $120 for a sheep. Once again in many parables as well Christ uses, about the average day's pay. Showing the example of our blood, sweat, and tears).

Reference: Genesis 3:19) "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

The pharisees also only cared about their own labor, not others. If they would of saw their own sheep you know darn well they would being whining like babies and go get it. Why Christ said, "which among would not"?

So, we can see Christ is always using that relationship physically to relate to us and transfer to our hearts and minds spiritually. Because that is what we worship before salvation. The things of the world. Not even getting nor want to get past commandment one.

13Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

(Don't answer? How could they? It's a common sense rhetorical question.

Another art of a pharisee when they don't have the answers, thinking they have the answers. Just realized they don't have the answers they don't look at themselves. But go looking to find fault even more. As the first clue is if you don't have the answer go find it.

14Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him."

And everyone against the Lord and His laws said? How dare you Jesus!

(In their mind by their very own standards this should be the greater crime! But when you have not cleaned out your own eye and the world revolves around you and your table (money) of ill-gotten gains that's all they can see. Complete darkness).

Put all together we can see how and why this really "fired up" the hypocrites like never before. In the world this would be counted as "showing up" your "religious/political leaders" And now we have crooks convening on how they can find away around laws to commit even more atrocities leading to the greatest injustice of all time, the crucifixion of Christ.

Amen †

Matthew 12; Verses 15-21; The Plot From The Garden of Eden and Crucify Christ

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 12:15-21) "But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

(From verse 14 the pharisees sought to bring charges and murder Him right here and now).

(So the persecution begins in that Christ had to flee, as they sought to murder Him. Now this is very key to know as well here in the end-times. Christ was now being hunted by the ravenous wolves like a pack of enraged maniacs and did not fear and fulfilled God's plan what was written).

(Remember, we are to the north still in the area of Galilee with the pharisees sneaking along mixing (par for the course for them) with the crowds. Approximately 120 miles or so from Jerusalem. Obviously, they were living by "feelings" not faith in an emotional tizzy fit. They would have to go back to Jerusalem gather their congregation to make the decision to later crucify Christ. As written they would in Genesis 3:14-15).

Remember the last post how we tied the pharisees being politics first lawgivers in God's name? It's no different now. Let's take a look at this one. Same event, different angle:

(Mark 3:6-7) "And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him."

7But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea."

(They go to their direct hated opposition. Two seemingly opposite in beliefs. Of course, the pharisees thought nothing of this as they delivered up Christ to Pontius Pilate).

Back to Matthew 12:16,

16And charged them that they should not make him known:

(Well the multitudes were around. We know a few men had did the direct opposite from the previous chapters. That was just not going happen. The point of the prophecy below as in the last couple posts as well, Christ was not coming to seek to be King His first coming).

17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias (Isaiah) the prophet, saying,

18Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment (the Lord's justice) to the Gentiles.

(Gentile = in this verse the non tribes of Israel. Either they were and are of the whole house of Israel, and the house of Judah).

19He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

Strive = long disputes. Well no, one sentence from a pharisee, then the words to shut them up according to Scripture defining it for them. Shut them up every time.

Cry = in the sense how we would say today where is all that racket coming from?

Voice in the street = a figure of speech. Just like we would say get away from the the noise of the city, the hustle and bustle, if you will.

Overall, Christ was cool, calm, and collective. We see who the maniacs were.

20A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

(Better said unto truth. See in the next verse as well).

Bruised reed = broken in half. To say He will not break them any further. No He won't. He came to save them which are lost. To bring them back together, put the pieces together. And here from the oppression of the pharisees--the self-righteous, as an example.

Smoking Flax = Not the same in characteristics as the broken reed. A smoking flax is the wick of an olive oil lamp. He is not going to distinguish a dimply burning flame, put it out. Summing it up, those with little or no strength, poor and oppressed that follow Him, through the contrast of the pharisees.

21And in his name shall the Gentiles (ethnos) trust."

(And so they have. That would be the non tribes of Israel here as referenced above).

Furthermore where this comes is from directly from Isaiah 42:2-6. Here is verse 7,

(Isaiah 42:7) "To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house."

Amen †
