Matthew 14; Verses 1-12; Betrayal and Blackmail

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 14:1-11) "At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

(Because all the news had spread. Everyone likes a scene as well, excitement. This is not Herod, they called "the great." The one who tried to have Christ murdered as a babe. Tetrarch means 1/4, as Herod split the governing land for his sons). 

2And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

John the Baptist already beheaded, so we're go into the story why here.

(This is why happens when you mess with God's people. He is being tortured here. We later see in the next post he was sorry, but did it anyway. So knew better but no backbone, a typical sell out. This is coming to haunt him, he is no exception. But at belief and repentance he could of began to be healed. No more haunting). 

3For Herod had laid hold (seize) on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

(Who's sake? Another person to gain in an unjust cause. Not righteousness sake. Some leader with no backbone, sell out).


4For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

(Of course, Herod being ruler and the ultimate overseer of the law of the land would take great offense to this. Law on top of law from these government crooks destroying the family foundation, then say their hands our clean. Twisted souls like this should not be judging anything. As verse 9 he was sorry, but then because he held his oath, his word counted then. Well, of course it did with selfish ambition on top of bribery and blackmail. All to "get" and keep the girl in selfish lust). 

5And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet."

(Many knew John was from God. But with sell out dictators in charge and dirty double dealings the lusts of the flesh take over. Live by the flesh and be tortured by the flesh. Way it is, way it's going be. Such is the way of these fake leaders, they do live in fear because of this. Never fear a sell out. They live in their own "haunted house." The righteous are as bold as a lion. It is them who better get with it).

6But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

(Birthday boy, and we do mean boy. Power of seduction here. A little dance in exchange. Herod with no morals it is quite obvious he wanted her too. She had of known and used this to get what she wanted). 

7Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

(This is what happens when you make law on top of law. Seemingly here he is forced to make a moral decision based on immoral. Keeping his word to feel better and self-justify self. To them he can say, "I'm a man of my word." While being the scum of the earth).

8And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

(Right there on a platter. We got some real sicko's here. Great girl)?

9And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

(Explained above).

10And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

11And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

(Damsel in distress alright now. Pure wicked rotten evil. This also what happens when the parents have no morals and backbone. The kids make the decisions. Give in for their favorite gift here. You see moral corrupt politicians you think this is beyond them? Nothing is beyond them when the thirst for power from the sell out mentality and wicked heart before salvation. Whatever situation they are presented for their gain at the moment they will sell out too. Such is the their way. Proverbs 1:10-19. That can end today, believe and repent).

12And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus."

(Pretty sad sight here. Though John the Baptist was taken to a better place, and His reward in Heaven. And so it was).

Matthew 13; Verses 53-58; (Continued Rejection of Christ)

Thank you for taking a look †


(Matthew 13:53-58) "And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

(Finished teaching to the Disciples specific. They understood them, let's see why).

54And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

(Back to Nazareth and surrounding areas. And here comes as stupid is, as stupid does. Way it is. Notice once again, "their synagogue." As the kenites had set up shop and had the influence in the north country as well. That is what happens when they control the central location such as the temple in Jerusalem then flowing outward. Christ and the disciples always made the point to disassociate with them. As they are of the synagogue of satan. Have you read it? Revelation 2:9; 3:9). 

What are they asking here? Where did this Jesus get this know-how and miraculous powers? You can be sure the thought and twist coming was that he was performing some kind of "magic." As we had previously studied in the last chapter they accused Him with the works of satan. Lying scripture twisters.

55Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

Checking out his background, then they say we judge righteous! Wrong from the get-go. Had they known Scripture they would know Christ was born of the virgin, the Messiah was to be born of a virgin, "Immanuel God with us", Isaiah 7:14. Scholars aye? Seriously? Should of been an easy Scripture. No, Christ is not Joseph' son.

So, they were looking at the physical to make a spiritual judgment. That is what happens when all you see is the flesh. You cannot be pleased. It would not matter where Christ' upbringings were rooted in, or who He associated with. 

56And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

(Why this? Because the way Christ taught. He taught the spiritual through the daily practical physical things in life that each sex would do. So, we see here judging all people under the same "cloth." But yet every individual will cry mercy on the day of judgment, the irony).

57And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

Why? Overall the failure of the first two commandments. Righteously judging. Meaning right from wrong. Not to judge to hell, or lake of fire. No actually, when you hold someone past sins over their heads you are judging them to hell. The LORD has forgiven but you do not? Who do you think you are? Very shameful. The cross ain't good enough for you?

(Fair and balanced)

Offended is skandalizō from the Greek. Where the word scandalous comes from. Take a look at these wicked rotten haters to the core and Scripture twisters. Where we have already shown the simplest of Scriptures flew over their head. The only scandal were these drama queens walking around and everyone is a drama queen. Can't win either way, damned if you do, damned if you don't.  A deeper look into the word is they were shameful of Him.  You see why Christ always referred to the blessed not being ashamed of Him. No shame exists in belief and repentance. The shame is not doing so, the shame is calling one self a Christian and playing the game.

Prophet = teacher. No honor in His immediate surroundings, we know His blood  (minus Joseph) family later came around. But we're in error early on. Honor = Respected, highly regarded. That comes with the failure to judge/discern correctly.

"The have's, and the have-nots", physically speaking.

One of the human conditions before salvation here. That is the judging a person by the physical and finding guilt then shame in them because of it (that is very shameful). Think lower of them. They must of done something wrong? Or in vice versa, the more well of per say, they must have got there by lying, cheating, and stealing. God despises guilt by association. Everyone will cry mercy individually on the day of judgment, But no cry foul if you did not give it. They of course will look for blame. Always someone else fault, their own sin.

Yet, many say don't use people for what can you get out of them, but do the very same thing because they live by the lusts of the flesh.

(Romans 2:1-4) "Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

(Condemnation still lies on them because of these things).

3And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
Who do you think you are?

4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

From the point above. Do you despise saving faith from the cross? Rhetorical questions to look at self. This is naturally going to happen here in the end-times. Many have learned the Gospel wrong, and more bitter than before. We have to put up with you. Way it is, way it's going to be. It's not you if you a conscience towards repentance, and not seared (burned, as in gone). Want to feel correctly? Begin at belief/repentance. Right from wrong, the senses in the mind, then one can feel correctly according to the way the Lord does, Godly sorrow.

We'll finish it off where Paul points out we have a person who thinks they are special.

To Romans 2:11,

(Romans 2:11) "For there is no respect of persons with God."


Get off your high horse, you might as well get on the 4 horseman with satan (doing and bidding his work). This goes also with the point in showing respect of persons in what one can get, and then get out of people. Our will is to match God's Will. We should be striving to get growing in holiness out of people after salvation. Salvation good will towards people. Don't have that in want in saving faith towards them, you do not have it yourself. Let's get the right Gospel of Jesus Christ.


Reference:

(Matthew 11:5-6) "The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

6And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me."

Moving on,

Many say Jesus, but for this cause He could walk right in front of them passing by and they would not recognize Him. A lot to learn here. Everyone cries for a peaceful world, but do you have compassion, mercy, from the forgiveness of sins? Then only able to judge right from wrong correctly. As it is some who think they are elect need to go back to square one or repent to salvation in the first place. Way it is, way it's going to be.

58And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief."

(Why was that? Unbelief. Everything begins at belief, life begins at belief in our Father though Christ. As we always point out, they would not have believe it anyway because of their standard. They want to see God on the outside, but do not have Him in the inside. Therefore, they see what they want to see).

I will never be ashamed of Christ and the cross. For that is the power of the Lord. The power of the Lord beginning at saving faith.

(Romans 1:16-17) "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just (the righteous) shall live by faith."

(It's written up and down).

Every Christian should of been or going through this process above. It is called growing.
The previous 6 verses James taught the same as above as Christ then Paul. Because this is the process.

To the book of James, the exact same:

(James 2:7-12) "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

(Getting over yourself. Lower one's self in heart and mind, stature).

8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

(They say God, but blood on their hands, because of their heart then mind. Which lead James to the royal law of course, the two commandments as we referenced).

9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

(Instead of lifting one's self up over Him, and then others. Then you will even know how to build others up. Like knowing, "come here from sick em." Point is double-mindedness leads to backwards. Because of the heart).

11Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

(They cause discord, they are babe killers. These would think they are planting seed while stepping on it. They are speaking against God).

12There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

By doing all this they have made themselves judge, and lawgiver. First of all declaring that their own judgment is righteous. They have determined right from wrong, in their self-proclaimed wrath they determine the punishment and execution. This is like sitting in a courtroom THE JUDGE says go free, gavel struck but they object. THE JUDGE says overruled, they keep going on. Learn some respect.

These type you see as well are only around when, "the good times are a rolling." They are in it for the wrong reasons, no sincerity. Overall, every person wants this, but does not give it. "Do unto other as you want them done to yourself."

So after, Christ taught about judging, cleaning one's self act at the cross, asking, searching, knocking submitting to God, not self. He concluded,

(Matthew 7:12) "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."

You want it, then must give it. But then cry foul when not giving it. Then the next 2 verses, the narrow path because of these things. The life of a Christian is not dependent on other doing it first, then saying we will get it then. Make the step. Everything hinges on it.

Matthew 12; Verses 31-32; The Unforgivable Sin

Thank you for taking a look †

What is called the "unpardonable" or unforgivable sin.

(Matthew 12:31-32) "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men.

(First off there are two things that in action a person can commit it. 1) The continued refusal to deny or speak wicked things of the Holy Spirit from an unbeliever. This is a given. The Holy Spirit is what seals us up as Christians in assurance in knowing, understanding, discernment. All truth. Even more per John 14 the comforter, the heart-warmer in this cold, cold, world. Especially here in the end-times when the love of many waxes cold. Number 2 down the post some).

(Matthew 24:15) "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax (grow) cold."

Remember last chapter we defined agape (overall good will towards people, respect them as the Lord's creation) and phileo (brotherly, brethren) love.

Why does the love grow cold? Iniquity = lawlessness. The rejection of God's law(s), furnishes hate, then hate speech. We also see it a thing of a progression. That is just common sense and a common theme in Ecclesiastes, for the person in the flesh living day to day. Showing us why we should love by the Spirit. Especially chapter 12. The only greater enlightenment a person thinks they come to in this world without the Lord is even deeper darkness. And I ask which enlightenment would that be? Would they know their future more after this life? Know what tomorrow brings? Know where the world is heading?

Especially, in the end-times as fear grows not knowing what is to come. But no fear if you know the chronological order of events. For they are children of light, not of darkness (I Thessalonians 5:1-5).

The word cold from Matthew 24:15 comes from the Greek word psychō. Where we get the word psycho (which if you do an etymology study this word has been abused badly), and of course the word fear (morbid) from the Greek is phobia (men's hearts failing them for fear because they do not know what is coming).

Pretty impossible to have good will, respect anything as the Lord's creation and give it proper honor if your an atheist, evolutionist, etc. As the Lord saw His creation not only good, but very good (Genesis 1:28). How is that "enlightenment" thing working out again? No love in any of this. Just viewed as an expendable dump is the by-product of atheistic evolution.

Reference:

(John 16:13-14) "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you."

How many truths? ALL. ALL LIGHT.

Back to Matthew 12:32,

32And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

(And so it shall be).

Now to get a full picture on how this affects believers who have the Holy Spirit:

(Luke 12:10-12) "And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.

(Finishing up point 1. Speaking against Christ can be forgiven. But if one accepts Christ then the Holy Spirit comes they speak evil or deny it they are denying their own salvation. We have to keep that lighted lamp burning. It goes out there is nothing left. That is the point. Once the Holy Spirit has come and denied where you going to go next? There is nowhere else to go).

2) Here; They must let the Holy Spirit speak through them or it is the unforgivable sin. That will not happen. They are chomping at the bit. They are not to premeditate what they say. No sermons, so studies in front of them (no need to think about it beforehand). God will be doing through them and from them with the Word in their hearts and minds. Amazing! Just like Pentecost Day.

11And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

(That is delivered up. Where? The synagogues of satan).

12For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say."

(So, this is when delivered up to have the Holy Spirit speak through them. That hour is the hour of temptation when satan claims to be Christ/God. This is why it is written those in Philadelphia (brotherly love albeit) will be kept from the hour of temptation. And some of those of Smyrna are delivered up).

Reference: Philadelphia,

(Revelation 3:10) "Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."

(To be kept means to be kept safe/guarded--protected through the great tribulation).

Now for Smyrna, Revelation 2:10-11,

"Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

11He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."

These are the two churches Christ approves of. What they teach and what they know for starters. Because? As referenced already they know who are of the synagogue of satan. The kenites). They know the parable of the fig tree Christ said to learn it, not take guesses. Jeremiah 24. Please take a look at Revelation 2:9; 3:9. Then message for questions if you need a little help.

(That second death is to be mortally inflicted. 1st death =The physical always in Scripture. 2nd death = The soul).

Back to Matthew 24 verse 9 now,

"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake."

Kill = Not physically. It means to inflict mortal death = Their soul. Remember, a few verses down told to endure to the end. You cannot very well endure if your dead!

Direct cross reference in Luke 21. The same "some" there as the "some" on Smyrna.


Amen †

Matthew 13; Verses 51-52; Parables (conclusion)

Thank you for taking a look †

So, we are at the conclusion of all 7 parables. That number is no mistake. 7 always represents spiritual completeness or perfection.

(Matthew 13:51-52) "Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

(These are an amazing two verses once all said and done here. First confirmation here. Christ wants no one leaving without that, eyes to see, and ears to hear. Now this is important as well. Knowledge comes before understanding. In other words, the knowledge has to come first then being able to put it together. This is seen all throughout God's Word. Especially, the Proverbs you will always see just that order. Then instruction. Instruction is the path we are to go. Here they fully understood. Key was asking that parable of the wheat and tares to be explained in depth again. There is never anything wrong with any question for clarification. The way it is now many teachers today would not be able to answer which is their duty as we will see in the next verse. God did not send them that is why).

52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old."

(How many? EVERY. What are they instructing? the path, what God finds acceptable, heaven being there automatic destination, eternal life. They are supposed to separate truth, and responsibility in lies on them to do so).

Treasures new and old. Old Testament and New Testament, this cover ALL of the Bible. What is given to keep stored up in us for safe keeping the overall point. Today, likened to safe-deposit box. The Lord has entrusted us with it. The highest of responsibilities. If someone had their valuables in a safe-deposit box you go there and they have used it for themselves and what they saw fit according to themselves? There is no one ever born who would not want to see justice carried out. Likewise, this needs to be applied for ourselves as a teacher of God's Word.

Christ taught Genesis to Revelation here in Matthew 13. In these 7 parables Christ taught what happened in the garden of Eden all the way to Babylon (even twice) to the final judgment in Revelation 20.

Simply no excuses from the scribes, that is teachers. As the disciples here went from learners/pupils to teachers.

The treasure is laid up here, God's blessing in riches, spiritually always making deposits is what it means.

And with that deposit, we are to gain interest for Christ. 

(Matthew 13:12) "For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath."

We will go into Luke 19 a bit here. Please take a deeper look if needs be.
This is not just covering a teacher, this is covering all who are saved and servants of Christ. God's elect here in the end-times better be sharing the Word of God, and not beating down the other servants. Christ made a deposit in saved Christians, now what are you going to do with it? He wants to know. "Pay it forward." Or let it go to waste? You see the picture here is we are on borrowed money here. Paying Christ back is sharing Him.

Every Christian of course should know salvation. So, every Christian should be sharing salvation. Let's take a look at Christ' striking words for not doing so:

(Luke 19:22-26) "And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

(This of course, is going to take steps in faith. Does one need a Ministry for this? No. Planting a seed, we do it all the time as it is by our actions. Whether one thinks it or not people desire what you have, not knowing and understanding what you have. Seen in Romans 8 as well. All of creation groans for the Lord inside, something more. But they cannot find it. That responsibility lies on us until we show them, then the responsibility lies on them from there).

23Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

(Bank here the same sense/concept as we use it, meaning an exchange. Here is what Christ did for you, now our response. We are to gain for Him. Back then it was used on the table outside in the temple in payment for the animals. Not here, Christ illustrating that free salvation as well. Salvation is free, but our sacrifice required for payment in response).

24And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

25(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

26For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. (And so it is).

(So we can gather it is quite the insult and slap in the face to not share what the Lord gave. This is why I always encourage to share what the Lord gave you, and to speak up at anytime as well).

We want to give that knowledge of saving faith first. The pharisees of course could not even have the ability to do so as they made up their traditions calling it God's law, God's Word.

(Luke 11:52) "Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered."

For another study, why we should know our gift specific. But everyone has the gift as a Christian to share what they know and understand, as salvation is THE GIFT OF GOD, grace through faith.

We'll conclude this study here.

AMEN †

Matthew 12: Verses 22-30; Spiritual Warfare

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 12:22-30) "Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

Possessed = To the point past influence. Where the influence has lead to be overtaken. To be possessed you have to allow them to enter in. Invite them in. For a Christian it can be done trying to wear you down and they know it. Keeping the negativity and treating you like dirt (we walk all over them with the Gospel Shoes, then shake it off, not living with it) through doubt and self-defeat and giving in and giving up. Them are the number two methods, why? We need faith first. Secondly, Christ won the victory for us, satan wants you to feel alone and separated from the LORD and without the LORD, that is prime opportunity for them to come make an abode (home) with you.


Up to this point, we have Christ and the Disciples picking crops to eat,  The Sabbath day healing, and Christ declaring Himself Lord of the Sabbath. He defines what it means during previous interactions with the pharisees, namely in the 9th chapter of Matthew.

(You can also directly cross reference Mark 3:20-29 for the same interaction shown here. Let's use both to get the full picture. Everyone was following Christ (as depicted there), but this is after years of being beaten down by the oppressive pharisees (overseen by the Romans). It's clear here that Christ brought them excitement and hope; so much so, in fact, that Christ's family and friends are gravely concerned about His protection.)

(Mark 3:21) "And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself."

(Okay, that being said, we have an amazing healing here. Today many of would have given up on this possessed one in the sense of trying to find answers to explain his condition. One must be careful and know what exactly what they are doing when it comes to diagnosing, especially when they are dealing with possession. This is extremely rare to be both anyhow).

Back to Matthew 12:23,

23And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

(That is an admittance of Christ being the Messiah. The anointed one, YHVH's savior.)

24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

Of course they did! They can feel their power slipping as Christ continues to put them to shame--even more so here. Beelzebub = satan the prince of demons, I prefer to use the term "evil spirits", though. That is what they are. There is the Holy Spirit, and then there are evil spirits.

25And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
(This illustrates the nonsense and mindless, self-refuting lies of a pharisee/mocker (which is huge here) because if this is not the power of the LORD, then what else could it be? Christ is getting to that common sense question(s) and conclusion here).

26And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

This is the simplest of concepts here meaning satan with the evil spirits whose goal is to inhabit people and take them over. This could be likened to the Army fighting the Marines during WWII while being under attack. Yes, the pharisees are just that "dumb'.

27And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

(He's asking: 'When you and your offspring do it, are they doing it by the power of the LORD'? The pharisees don't even know, but they sure do run their mouths. The point here is that the evil spirit is gone from the person. They are saying they cast out evil spirits (the children). Therefore, the children would find them guilty for the same thing they accuse Christ of, which is par for the course in man's double standards of judging before salvation--by their own standards rather than the Lord's.)

28But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

(There is no "gray" area here. You can be sure of it, and we need to be very sure of it.)

29Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

The goods referred to here are those of the Gospel Armor. Strong man = Strong in mind. This begins with the shield of faith, the helmet (protecting the mind) of salvation. It also entails having the Gospel shoes on for walking/stomping all over the evil spirits while knowing the Lord is in control. Gird with truth = stand up. This means having no fear and not lying in the dust or sitting down where one can be bound or chained (spiritually to physically speaking, laying down defeated).

Breastplate of righteousness = stick your chest out to him just like a soldier would. Do so with confidence because doing right is what gives us confidence. Righteousness = the condition acceptable to the Lord through Christ, then doing right as Christ is proud of you doing it for Him. The Sword of the Spirit = exposes satan, evil spirits, wickedness, and cuts them to pieces. You will not win a spiritual battle lusting after the flesh either. It is and can only be won with the Holy Spirit with our own spirit in agreement.

Please check the Gospel Armor video study and the tagged Anointing and Blessing study labels, etc.

30He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad."

(This is logic here with no gray areas, and that includes having no gray as in area for the grey matter for satan to be stronger, especially stronger in mind. He certainly cannot be stronger in will because he is a defeated foe. Use the power! The place you want to be at is the conclusion that it's really not your battle--it belongs to the Lord because He won it at the cross).



Also, we know we are to have peace of mind through the Gospel Armor wherever our feet take us, the Gospel shoes, and that will result in peacemakers. The work of the enemy is to scatter, but the work of Christ is to separate, and separate truth. The point it is Christ does no scatter, but does separate. The word scatter means to flee and hide, as in hide in the dark. No, we bring the light, and expose the darkness.

Complete (perfect) love for our Father through Christ casts out fear.

Luke 7; Verses 40-50; True Love and Appreciation

Thank you for taking a look †


(Luke 7:40-50) "And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

(We got to have a talk here and now. The previous verses the self-righteous "goodie two shoes" Pharisees were forbidding going around a sinner. That is quite something from a bunch of "make-up" (Making it up as they go along and trying to look pretty) artists following man's traditions. Now we want to be careful in our terminology. False-to say Christ "hung" around sinners. True-He went to sinners who invited Him, wanted Him around. If the Gospel does not change one's heart and mind through repentance. Then it is not the real Gospel. Obviously so, that would make the cross null and void).

41There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

The creditor = God. The very word believe/belief (pisteuō) from the Greek means to credit. From a financial stand point an investment. God uses this terminology as we can relate to what we worship before salvation. That is the things of the world, and the love of money being the root of all evil. The source of idolatry. When it all comes down to that is worshiping a piece of paper which can and will be burnt up two-fold when Christ comes back.

(John 3:16) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Our debt = A picture of our sin debt. The point here is not who had more sin before salvation. But when the slate is wiped clean we are the same in heart and mind = like-minded, through being humbled. No true Christian thinks they are better than anyone. Matter of fact less worthy if anything (Isaiah 53).

To Luke 7:42,

42And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

We have nothing to approach our Father with without Christ. We are broke and broken without God. As in Luke 4:18 broken in spirit (our own spirit) we are reduced to beggary. No matter how much money you have your in pocket now. The release of debt here by God because of Christ ransom (redeeming those captive) in payment on the cross.

(Luke 4:18) "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised."


Peter wrote in II Peter 3:9,

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

To Luke 7:43,

43Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

(Forgave most because they are more appreciative. A feeling of less worthy here, and that is A okay for some Christians. We can see why Paul felt this way as well. Having persecuted Christians and in on the conspiracy against Christians before Christ came to Him on the road to Damascus).

44And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

Take a look at her. Consider this. Kneeling before Christ she gave it to Him saying He is above and I am beneath. Everything she had. Condemnation, fear, doubt, worry cleaning up her act here. Pretty amazing when considered?

45Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

(Christ is giving us this analogy because she was treated as an outcast. The thought she was the greater sinner. That may be so, but as stated after belief/repentance not anymore. Kissing Christ' feet a huge sign as His feet would be physically dirty, but spiritually clean with the Gospel shoes, The Gospel shoes are of course, peace. Peace of mind from the Gospel being able to stand wherever you walk/your feet take you. And the Gospel is of course being a true peacemaker. Which is why Christ ends this with faith as it begins, and leave with peace. Faith saves then we continue to walk on with the Gospel shoes).

46My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

(The anointing oil. Though she did not fully understand here she came prepared. She knew as faith in sincerity brought her here in the first place. Here she is bowing down acknowledging Christ is the Messiah--the anointed one. Every knee will bow, now or when Christ comes back forced upon them).

47Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

(Her sins might be more than yours. But she came with love and appreciation w/feeling not worthy owing God everything. A pretty simple concept herein anything in life. The more you put in with everything you have shows your appreciation and love).

48And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

(Gone, blotted out. No condemnation).

49And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

(Who does this Jesus think He is they are saying),

50And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace."


(And so it is. Faith where protection begins. Christ showing the point in contrast of self-righteousness and self-justification here to what saves. Grace through faith. Faith brings righteousness. Now let's remember, the pharisees we're not even following the ten commandments and justifying themselves by that. They justified themselves by what they made up! This kind of thinking of course comes with whatever situation one is in, and if it benefits them selling people out. Sure we all want to benefit. But the motive(s) are pure when through faith and they are are actually God's law being followed).

Amen †

Matthew 13; Verses 47-50; Parable of the Net/Sea

Thank you for taking a look †


(Matthew 13:47-50) "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

(Once again, what is the kingdom of Heaven like? How does God operate as opposed to man? This is huge here. Many is trying to build a one world system/new world order which comes to a full head when satan claims to be Christ/God as the king of Babylon. The queen of Babylon called the whore because she fornicates and sells out to satan, and those joined in that are called daughters of Babylon. Babylon means confusion from the Greek. From the Hebrew Babel. As in the tower of Babel. The last one world system trying to remove the Lord. Of course, they were working their way to Heaven by building in their pride of their own hands, their own doing. Now rejecting our Father's through Christ free salvation).

What are some examples? How about first of all trying to remove God's natural order for man. And man trying to recreate His creation in rejection of Him. I'm talking about the organic make up. Where we have yet to even see the results. The so-called experts have no clue to the results! They are playing God! Homosexual? Really? You want to end the human race! Don't lie to me. But when you look deep you will see your own actions don't match your words. WAY IT IS. Am I being a little hard? You got it. Repentance comes when see the nonsense results of our own sins. Why we need to be saved. Getting honest with yourself what are you really worshiping/chasing?  These are just a couple examples. We could go on. My hope is that you do in a deeper look. I want to see no one worship satan and ultimately destroyed, by destroying themselves.

(The net and every kind is symbolic for no one is getting away. No one escapes, all people's. Of course, Christians, true Christians that is want to be caught. Escaping God's judgment is what the wicked want to do and still want Heaven. Just like the tower of Babel. As they said let's get to heaven making a name for ourselves, in it for themselves with God not even an afterthought. To serve themselves, individually in it for themselves. There is nothing they could not have imagined to do in the plot. We see it now in ALL things. Man destroying men in the physical because of the spiritual. In every shape, fashion, and form).

Christians are to be fishers of men after salvation. Help pull them out of the sea in this sense, the sea of the dead.

Reference:

(Genesis 11:4-6) "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."

(Revelation 17:15) "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."

(God is using a vivid picture here. She is over them because that is what they look up too. Above them. Like the tower of Babel. Now what about this working to Heaven here? It is self-righteous in the rejection of Christ for one. You see God comes in saving man again. There is no end to the work, no rest. When one rejects Christ, and stays in bondage to the world. Some of these are even saying, "I think I can, I think I can." No, my friend we don't think anything. We are not well-wisher of hope. Christianity is a knowing hope with confirmation of the Holy Spirit. Without a doubt).

Let's look at Psalm 2.

(Psalm 2:1-6) "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

(Huge anger problems. Like the tower of Babel there is no end to the human mind in what it can do with no law, boundaries, guidelines, moral principles from the LORD. satan of course coming as the man of sin, lawlessness).

2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

(The plot, one world system/new world order. Against who? The savior, the Messiah).

3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

(Cannot happen. The world leaders are actually saying let's make them free here. You see, in man saving man it seems like a good thing to do. The "human" spirit to go on. But we see in rejection of God, it naturally destroys as a result. That is what they cannot see, cause and effect, no vision. No repentance in seeing the results of sin.

4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

(This is kind of like watching that cartoon, where the character is running, but they other character has them by the head, and they are running nowhere. NO ONE escapes. "Well, Jp isn't God just one big meanie here"? Stop blaming HIM. What are you doing? He cannot win with you. You blame God for His judgment but have never looked at your own wrath? What you want to carry out on people? Be honest with yourself).

5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

(This is God's wrath. Words won't do it, they cannot even see their own words from their actions.

So, God has to take actions, and this is at Christ' second coming. The 7th vial poured on the day of the Lord in God's wrath. This is good for them as we head into the Millennium).

6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion."
(Christ return here, but is it referencing both comings of Christ. Zion is all in inclusive to Jerusalem. The king of Babylon is "dethroned." And Christ the king is here. Not coming on a donkey this time, but a war horse. You don't want Him to rule and rule your life personally, it is coming for the Millennium. That rod of iron a time of teaching in discipline and justice/judgment. Please even go on this chapter in the places I did not. It puts it all together in big reasoning why the way things are what they are now).

(Psalm 2:9) "Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

To Matthew 13:48,

48Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.


(When it is full. Completeness here. This is at the end of the Millennium. The final judgment. That of course is the Great White Throne Judgment; Revelation 20:11-15).

49So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

(Wailing and gnashing of the teeth is symbolic for complete despair and depravity. Yes, that is what we should of seen in our lives without the Father through Christ. In the end, no one can blame anyone. They don't want God He gives what they ask for. Way it is, way it's going to be).

One last note: Is Babylon some specific denomination? NO. That is false teaching. Go read it again. It becomes Babylon the rise of the last beast. When satan claims to be Christ/God. It covers ALL the earth, all peoples. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Amen †

Matthew 13; Verses 45-46; (Parable; Worth/Self-Worth; Treasure in the Field Part II)

Continuing on in the amazing Parables of Matthew 13. Verses 45-46 here. Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 13:45-46) "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:


Christ is the man here. "Goodly pearls" Approved and of high value. Beginning with individual that believes.

What's it like in Heaven? How does the LORD operate as opposed to man, those on earth?

(Amazing here. This is the same merchant as in the merchants of the earth from Revelation 18:3, and others in Revelation there. This means going on a long journey like by ship and trading. Christ showing the long drawn out exhaustive work from the cross to reach people here. After this long journey in finding you, would He just throw you away then? No way, no how. That would defeat His own purpose). 

Now the difference, as in Revelation 18:3, How God operates as opposed to man, and cheap merchant men here.

Self worth: This is as opposed to a morally bankrupt merchant trader on earth, that sells cheap imitations, Not genuine. Having been sold out. Likewise, doing the same to God's creation.

Goodly and pearls = Genuine and of great value. Like a hard-cut diamond, and all pure. When inspected all thing are looked, put a magnifying glass to it. Likewise, Christ approves, and approves of them pure motives.

Furthermore, belief/repentance that is what it brings. "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." What is pure? When your desire and will matches the Lord's desire and will.

(II Corinthians 7:9) "Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing."


(Worldly sorrow to Godly sorrow here. That brings repentance. We see what grieves God in us, what we do towards Him, then others that  hurt them in what He says He is against. You protect them in faith just as He would. How He views and values them, and not malicious or careless destruction of property).

(Point is no damage done here, as in you would not throw that pure hard-cut diamond on the ground. So, how much more do we view God's creation and His people. No one certainly views or treats that rock, or something of great value like disposable trash).

To Matthew 13:46,

46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it."


(Just one. God and you make a majority in this sense. As the merchant man has picked you up and no longer "sailing" your own ship).


(It begins with the individual, as HE created you as an individual. Here is that ransom again. This in itself Christ' exhaustive effort showing every which way the long-suffering exhaustive attempt to reach individual. Try going around the world in promise that you're going to have a treasure, or rocks of great value. But you get there, and you been duped. That is how Christ feels with disingenuous. Thing is here he sold everything He had to get there too. Another example, in the grieving of God here. Sell all you have, get there and nothing? Broken. Certainly emotions of sadness and anger, and ALL righteous of course).

Just as the Lord is long-suffering but He is coming back soon having had enough of His creation hating Him and destroying each other. He is not happy about it.

AMEN!!!!!!!

Matthew 13; Verses 35-43 (Parable of the Wheat and Tares Part II)

Continuing on in Matthew 13. (Parable of wheat and tares part II).

So "key" in understanding Scripture here. Christ is going back to Genesis and teaching it once again. I really want to stress as long as one believes some talking snake and tree fed Eve then Adam a literal fruit salad/apple they are not going to grow in God's Word. Let's put silly fairy tales to rest. In waking up to reality here I hope you see satan and the kenites (the sons of Cain) want you to believe that fairytale. That is how they get by with the lie being God's chosen. Calling themselves Jews, and are not. Revelation 2:9; 3:9. Christ approves only of Smyrna and Philadelphia who know this, understand this, teach this, follow this. Suppose you fight with other Christians about this? STOP DOING THEIR DIRTY WORK.

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 13:35-43) "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

(The word foundation from the Greek here is katabole. Meaning the hidden things since satan's rebellion before the garden of Eden, and in this first age. Yes first heaven and earth age. Of course, satan rebelled in Heaven, then the angels becoming fallen angels right after him).

36Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
(How big is this? When the Disciples ask again they want specifics. Never overlook that. Dig a little deeper).

37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

(The children of the kingdom are the children of Israel specific. The field = always symbolic for the world. The word seed from the Greek is sperma where we get the word sperm. Which has two biblical meanings. Used as a metaphor spiritually of course. But that metaphor used ALWAYS in context in planting God's Word. Physically from the Greek meaning: the semen virile the product of this semen, seed, children, offspring, progeny).

Let's see this Jp? Okay, to Genesis 3:14-15 it is.

(Genesis 3:14-15) "And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

(satan is of course in the role of serpent. Which actually means, a shiny one/glistening one. We know this is a figure of speech in belittling degradation to satan. This is the ultimate in degradation obviously).

(As he is not obviously crawling on his belly as some literal snake currently. This is also why we put on the Gospel shoes and tread/stomp on them, then shake the dust off. Meaning, don't carry it with this, and continue your walk. We walk all over them, not satan walk on us laying on the ground. Literally one ear and out the other when listening to these dustballs/dirtballs. We want eyes to see, and ears to hear.

(You have a spiritual battle keep on keeping on. It's normal, though the world may not think so they are spiritually discerned, incapable of comprehension).

15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

(Who's seed? Eve's, who is Eve's seed? Zara (seed) from the Hebrew the same meaning, and the root word is also to scatter. All in one right there for you. This is amazing Christ' teaching here. Enmity = deep rooted hatred. Yes, they hate Christ the children of Israel, and all Christians. Matter of fact all people's. They even tell you in books like talmud. God's Word tells you, then they tell you, simply no excuses).

The offspring of the serpent of course crucified Christ. Now what is amazing of course satan plot after this was in Genesis 6. The fallen angels coming to earth to destroy the seed line Christ would come. But Noah and his family did not intermix. They of course, seen woman attractive (fair) and come to have sex with them as well. They were really trying to kill two birds with one stone, if you will. Fulfilling their desire of disobedience in sex, in the process attempting to destroy the seed line the children of Israel on down to Christ would come.

Cain murdering Abel was the first example of this hatred. Let's take a look, we know that. Let's take another look where Christ taught that:

(Matthew 23:33) "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell"?

Verse, 35: "That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar."

To Matthew 13:39,

39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

(Sowed = scattered. Just as the children of Israel here in the end times increasingly have scattered through out HIStory progressively in migrations. Likewise, the off spring of the serpent, them "generation of vipers." We know the harvest comes when Christ comes back, and they are going to pay and pay severely. Concerning the figs they are harvested out of season. Concerning grapes they are pressed like grapes being harvested with a sickle. Please check Revelation study 14:17-20. Why? Rejecting the blood of Christ, and their Christ hating doctrine they spew out of their mouths). 

To Matthew 13:40,

40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.


(So it will be).

41The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;


(Christ is covering all. Iniquity = lawlessness. Who is coming as the man of sin as well? A: satan claiming to be Christ/God).

Amazing here. Like Daniel 3:6. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, thrown into the "furnace", the same comes on them. 3 children as well symbolic for resurrection.

42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."

(Shine here important in context with Daniel 3. Why? They built a shiny image of gold. The gold of course melted down, purged. The point is the same comes on them).

Remember, as well. Christ face shines bright as the sun. So, it will be these here. Their countenance. Remember Genesis 4:5-7? The Lord said to Cain why has your countenance fell (gone)? It was rhetorical questions as in time to fess up Cain. The LORD then said to Cain do right. Righteousness. Christ of course, said come to repentance and then do right. Righteousness = the condition acceptable to God, then doing right.


Now, remember, the Disciples back in part 1 wanted to know what to do with them? Basically, should we gather them now and kill them? NO. Let them grow till the Harvest. Remember whoever slays Cain pays 7 fold. We are to mark them, meaning know this. That of course in concordance with the mark of the beast which began in the garden of Eden as well. As satan is the false rock, and smooth stone worn over time. We won't go there now for sake of length. Please take a deeper look into these Scriptures.

Lastly, to to put this together (it's up and down Scripture).

But, this is why we go over the Song of Moses a lot. For our generation in understanding the Mark of the Beast. Those who sing it have victory over satan, and the one world system/new world order i.e. the beast.

As the song goes over the children of Israel HIStory, and these Christ haters history.

You get so much just in 5 verses, all about them:

(Deuteronomy 32:29-33) "O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

(That is the mark of the beast. The wise can calculate the mark of the beast).

30How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?


(satan is going to sell you out, the false rock (protection). This is why he always used the stone in tempting as well. As in turn the stone to the bread of life. But Christ is of course the bread of life).

31For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

(Not the blood of Christ).

33Their wine is the poison of dragons (satan is of course the dragon), and the cruel venom of asps (what they spew out of their mouths).


WHAT WE DON'T WANT IS BEING LUKEWARM IN THE FAMINE AND CHRIST SPEWING US OUT HIS MOUTH. Revelation 8, the first trumpet in concordance with Deuteronomy 32:25 as well. "Hail mixed with fire and blood" The wrong blood of Christ, and being lukewarm. Burns (the famine) up the green landscape. Their doctrine is going to burn you up, not able to grow.

For these reasons. Take a deeper look and enjoy.


Amen †

Ezekiel 38; Verses 1-4; Gog/Magog

Thank you for taking a look †

Now Ezekiel 37 we had the same time period here. That was the whole house of Israel being sealed and coming alive between the 6th and 7th vial. Also between 6th and 7th seal (holding back the winds/time as they are sealed before God's wrath for taking the Mark. The 144k never take the mark of the beast), and 6th and 7th trumpet. Between the 6's and 7's of each they come alive. As they see these events begin to come to pass right in front of their eyes. They are scattered and the Lord's promise to bring them back to the land of Israel when Christ comes back at the 7th trumpet. Christ comes back in/at the 7th seal, 7th trumpet, and 7th vial. satan claiming to be Christ/God = 666. The real Christ = 777. You have TWO time periods of seals. The 5th trumpet right before the 6th trumpet when satan claims to be Christ/God. And number two as stated above.

Thank you for taking a look †

(Ezekiel 38:1-4) "And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

(God's Word, not man's word).

2Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

(Stare him right down, no fear. Gog = Russia. Land of Magog = The geographical land within it. The chief prince (leader) of Meshech and Tubal = Moscow and surrounding areas. Straight for the jugular. Don't be fooled by Putin's little out of spite claim to Christianity, and it's being on the media now more than ever. When have you heard this before Obama (thought it was there)? Besides all the obvious. I don't care who you are, what country you're from. Christians support Christians first no matter border boundaries. PERIOD! As we will see in the combined chapters of Ezekiel 38 and 39, there are two looming wars here in the end-times, between all the vial in Revelation 16. Here is the order of vials in succession again; 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. Okay, in the next chapter we have Hamongog, the second looming war once satan claims to be Christ. Now you see will the increase towards this now, and then the expedient increase as soon as that happens. Why is God angry besides the atheistic commie government? Because they come against true Christians/God's elect (The mountains of Israel, that is to say the people--Christians). In the land of unwalled villages = America). Mountains there symbolic for standing tall, majesty, the Lord's beloved. Once again, God is angry, Christians support Christians.

Overall; Russia splits in two looming wars at Armageddon with the nations we'll see coming up, along with the Kings of the east per the 6th vial. That exact moment satan claims to be Christ/God. Let's take a look:

(Revelation 16:12) "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared."

(Vial = judgment. And so it begins. The Euphrates river area where it began. All the confusion in the garden of Eden. To the Tower of Babel-the last one world system. Babylon/Babel mean confusion. The center of confusion, and the Euphrates drying up meaning we're in complete famine as satan has claimed to be Christ. Do the Kings of the East need the Euphrates to dry up to hop over the river and through the woods? So, what is it here the alignment of Russia with the Kings of the East do not like? World peace, satan seemingly dominating the world. That is what they want to do. While the majority of the world is worshiping satan as Christ and world peace? some may ask how can this go under their noses. lol, look around now. We're in the age of information, but yet complete ignorance).

Also, going back to the garden of Eden, where did cain go? East of the Euphrates. We have he alignment of his ancestors here, showing the dysfunctional "family", and satan's own self-defeat. This guy just cannot get it right. They always betray him, like in Genesis 3:15. This shows the power of the Lord, HIS WORD will come to pass. What do I mean? satan's children (the off spring of the serpent) against satan's own will crucified Christ, all while satan was trying to STOP the birth and sinless crucifixion of Christ over and over again! So here we see the repeat. The Lord said to the serpent (satan himself) "I will cause enmity between your seed, and her seed."

Summarizing the next few verses due to length here: Verse 13; satan claims Christ, you have the evil godhead. "Trinity", if you will. Dragon (satan), beast (one world system/religious system), false prophet (satan claiming to be Christ/God).

Verse 14; an amazing verse which shows satan and his self-defeat. lol. satan's self-defeat at the original scene of the crime. Just as in Revelation 9, when he opens the abyss he will spend the Millennium in.Complete and total degradation.

Verse 15; Christ coming as a thief in the night. Keep our garments on, not being found naked spiritually fornicating with satan.

Verse 16 below.

Back to Ezekiel 38:3,

3And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

(Claiming to be Christian. The Lord cannot stand you).

4And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

(See the aggression now? What happens here? We have the wars and rumors of wars. satan's comes in with "world peace" to relieve that all in the acceptance of him as savior of the world. satan claims to be Christ/God Russia and these nations below have to regroup and realign properly (turning thee back). With Russia leading the charge. For the the coming two looming wars (bring thee forth).

Bring thee forth:

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

(We're supposed to have the Gospel Armor on, not the physical war armor coming against God's elect).

(That hook in the jaw. The Lord is in control. They want to cast HIM away. He takes full control. People want to believe lies? Double up. God is going to make it stronger. Go all the way. God cannot stand lukewarm).

In the next post we'll go more into the nations/countries (such as Iran) with them as Russia leads the charge.

Amen †

Psalm 30; Verses 1-5; From Walking Dead to Living and Walking

You have heard get busy living or get busy dying. Here it is according to the LORD, and HIS HOLY WORD. Thank you for taking a look!!!


(Psalm 30:1-5) " I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

(That moment coming through belief/faith through repentance when man is no longer judge over you. It is God who justifies when He says go free no longer in condemnation in guilt, shame, misery, death).

This is why we are to be the salt of the earth as well. Preserved, with no decaying staying keeping strong with flavor. From there others need salt for all them reasons creating a thirst in them. However, losing that salt you go back to man being your judge and overseer. Getting walked all over from there. Now that is being a doormat. Let's stand tall for the Father though Christ.

(Matthew 5:13) "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."

To Psalm 30:2,

2O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

Taking care of them wounds, and self-inflicted many times they are. After all at salvation we take responsibility for our own sins. No longer blaming anyone for our sins no matter what they did, and what they did to us. No more victim playing. Unless one's motives were pure? We could go on about victim playing how it leads to being a pathological liar against the Lord and then people, then they are your victim (should be in the persons mind, when they come to truth). For another study. These are the cause and effects of our own sin.

3O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul (one's self, to rest peacefully, not dead) from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.


The depths of despair and punishment. Place of the dead, this would be as Christ defined the bad side of the gulf. Going from poor spirit with no hope, to lifting one's own spirit in this life and the coming Resurrection of the just. Like the walking dead but cannot pick one's self up here. This is certainly a tough to thing to watch. Every Christian has been through it for sure. Dead in our sins with no hope coming to that realization (Luke 4:18).


4Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Recollecting here. Praiseworthy indeed when understanding He is right in ALL things. How we should live. Salvation, then sanctification, growing in the Lord. You set apart for that you have no alternative but to grow. Key here is thanks, not turning bitter. Psalms of praise, melody in the heart, hope, purpose, track to victory. Love, appreciation, forgiveness, mercy, compassion, singing the Song of Moses. God loves good spiritual music (needs to be applied a such), and this all music to HIS ears.

5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."

Them cries of despair won't last forever. He will lift you up inside. And this joy here the world cannot relate. Other Christians should be sharing in that joy. There is no greater joy going from death to life. Notice the word endure, as we are to endure till the end. We finish the race overcoming for our Father though Christ. Let's put on them Gospel shoes (peace, God is in control of your life), and stay on the track.

The goal is to wake up daily with a hope, not why did I have to wake up today. We see, this happens at the forgiveness of our own sins, then others. Life can only happen there. You very well cannot be moving forward on the track living in the past. Only then, can this hope be shared with others. The gift of putting hope in others heart it cannot be measured. That is where we begin to plant, not the mind. Refer to the parable of the sower. It always begins with the heart, then mind.

Amen!!!!!!!

Mark 13; Verse 17; Stay a Spiritual Wise Virgin

Moving right along in Mark 13. We're going to go one verse at a time to fully understand what is being said. To who, what, where, why, when, and how.

Thank you for taking a look †

(Mark 13:17) "But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days"!

(Child? But isn't written children are a blessing? It sure is. This of course is talking spiritually as just about all Mark 13. Matthew 24, and Luke 21 at that. Up until the point of each we get the physical condition(s) which lead to this spiritual condition when satan claims to be Christ/God. The Lord has had enough of them rejecting Him so satan it is they will get).

Let's take a look at other references:

Song of Moses of course,

(Deuteronomy 32:25) "The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs."

The sword of the Spirit (the word of God in you), without it brings fear. Not just fear here, but a striking fear. The amazing twist here is they want world peace without picking up any sword (physical or spiritual), which is a lie of course. No sword and with a twist! Don't quit, no surrender, no white flags when it comes to satan and his. Let's get that Gospel Armour on.

Young man to gray hairs covers all ranges within. Virgin = The foolish virgins who fornicated with satan and reproduced his works nursing them along. Remember as their lamps went out, and when Christ comes back they are knocking wanting in to the marriage supper of the lamb. I suppose they would want a reception (party) after that? Let's look at one view from Matthew 22.

(Matthew 22:11-13) "And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

(It's an after the fact picture. Christ is looking around seeing who is sitting down at the marriage supper. This one found naked fornicating with satan without that garment of salvation).

12And He saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

(Like having that trembling fear, tongue stuck to the roof of the mouth. Like they say, "cat got your tongue" This is not a pretty site. But, remember those of Babylon want to be all "decked" looking good without the Lord).

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

(Left without. This is not hell. It's a show what they are without, and we're heading into the Millennium. They are without the light, because their own lamps went out. Matthew 25 once again).

And you thought royalty in this world was something. THE KING has come and Babylon (whoring out) partakers will not be apart.

(The word destroy here an amazing one. (With the root word from the Hebrew putting them together). As they miss the mark, deprived of love like a long lost love and to miscarry. A miscarriage. Because they fornicated with satan and reproduced the works of satan while they think/thought satan was and is Christ/God).

What a picture from Isaiah 54:1 and on:

"Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD."

(They are singing the Song of Moses keeping that womb barren. Not reproducing and nursing satan's works along. Like the children of the abomination that makes desolate. Which of course is satan himself. From Mark 13:14 in the last study).

What did they do?

Stay a spiritual wise virgin (not being caught red-handed by Christ naked and ashamed when HE comes back went over last study.

(Revelation 19:7-8) "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

(Isaiah 54:4-5) "Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed (no shame, we are not ashamed of our maker): neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

(Widowhood = Their long lost love has come back).

We can see this they are even ashamed to be thankful for their food. Pray in a restaurant see how you're looked at? But yet they want to say God, not knowing what they are saying? Just no conscience. The shame is not being thankful. A children without faith).

5"For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called."

(Thy maker as husband is a great point here as well. As we see the removal of the want of their creator now. But they get satan. Keep them clothes "garments" on).

As we see in a generation where abortion is rampant, people view each other as disposable trash. No commitment, word means nothing in relationship, no relationship to being faithful. Right along with a children without faith. These would be very tough truths to even begin to understand.

From Isaiah 61:10, the same time period when Christ comes back:

"I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels."

(Once again, Babylon said she is no widow all decked out without their creator. Revelation 18 specific).

So as it is in II Thessalonians 2:3-4,

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

(First of all let no man deceive you the gathering back to Christ will NOT happen until satan claims to be Christ/God. That gathering is of course after the great tribulation. The great tribulation is of course the time period satan claims to be Christ/God. No rapture.pre trib rapture. This also of course 2 of satans names for us to further identify him, and characteristics. Nothing is hidden).


And because of doctrine like the rapture/pre trib rapture?

The word falling away from the Greek is apostasia (the fix is in). But the root word apostasion means a divorce. So they are divorced and handed to satan, and to sum it up decide to have a family with him, spiritually speaking. So, we see the simple theme of commitment, keeping your word, marriage. Putting it together it increases till a comes to a full head and the Lord has had enough.

4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

Amen †

I Corinthians 2; Verses 10-16; The Holy Spirit (cont)

Thank you for taking a look!!!

(I Corinthians 2:10-16) "But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

(With the Holy Spirit you're going to dig deep (maybe 7 feet deep)? Compare truth with lies, fact from fiction, rationale and good reason. Putting things in proper order and necessity. The deepest thing of God was the feeling of compassion then mercy leading to forgiveness at the cross. Grace through faith = THE GIFT of God. Ephesians 2:8-9).

11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

This is huge. Not guessing people's thought, feelings, knowing what they are thinking until they communicate them. Using this as a distinction, likewise you cannot know God's thoughts, emotions, will, unless it were not for the Holy Spirit. Which confirms all. That is huge faith and trusting in it. This comes along the way of course in confirmation of Scripture. The very fact one agrees with Scripture is the Holy Spirit. That of course, Scripture correctly. And Scripture correct us along the way, growing. You should be able to tell if you're growing. Easy, are you learning? Do you know and understand more today than yesterday? Christ was with Disciples over 3 years. They have the benefit of seeing it up close in the flesh. We have the benefit of ALL Scripture.

12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

(Here you have it from verse 10, confirmation. Knowing and understanding what comes from God and what does not. Freely given - Going back to grace through faith and covering all since. As you cannot put a price on God's wisdom after salvation as well. Reference: Everywhere. Take a look).

13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Man's wisdom always equals = The ends always not justifying the means. Beginning with loving the vain over the Lord. You cannot love God's creation without loving Him first. Goals, aspirations are only self-serving in selfish ambition. The world of course loves that, looks highly upon. Morally looks good, in an attempt in saving man seemingly. My question, how many did you run over to get there? Don't lie.

Comparing things = As we were leading to above. Evidence, weighting it with rationality and reason. That is exactly what the Holy Spirit teaching all truth. Bringing comfort. 

14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned (examine and judge correctly).

Better not be after having it explained. Well, they would not either. The very root is two opposing thought processes and worldviews. The Christian with the Holy Spirit always see's the eternal benefits or consequences. To which an unbeliever cannot relate with no frame of reference. Suppose you think Christians are better? Backwards. Get over yourself and join in. If someone humbles themselves as a little child, how is that better than anyone? Exactly, why Christ says that beginning in Matthew 18. The Disciples wanted to know how you gain more stature and importance with God. Take a look. The old upsmanship game results.

15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

It is clear here the old who are you to judge card is nothing new. The Gospel and the WORD of God is preached/taught so they/you are not judged to the lake of fire.

Judge = Right from wrong in discernment, reasonable. Not the instantaneous as many would say in who are you to judge, with the implication in their mind you are referring to "hell" and/or lake of fire. That is just a wall in their self-defense against the Lord. Don't take it personal. I know this thought process always comes from a false "Gospel" being taught for a while now. Um, no one has been judged to the lake of fire yet. NOT UNTIL AFTER THE MILLENNIUM. And they do the choosing. God gives them what they asked for.

(Which is why we alluded to the above. Some of the things you will get as a result. Being judged by them. We define it for them. Through the LORD and His Word of course. All for their own good whether they think so or not. That is on them).

16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."

What a question here. Who is going to show Christ the path? Who is going to teach Christ? Some made up idol that don't talk? Buddha? Allah? Muhammad? Confucius? Some man-made up philosophy? Freud?

If you are under a different religion as well reading this take good thought on that. If you can say anyone of those can teach Christ then there ain't no hope for you.

Likewise, Christians have the same mind. Christ always brought, think and judge correctly. Posed to the Disciples and the pharisees when Christ walked the earth. Of course, the pharisees right from the get-go pretty much came with questions to trip Him up. Likewise, they do the same.

Notice when the Disciples were in temporary error as well. Christ did not give the slip and in casting them out. They were in it for good, sincerity, and kept on keeping on. They were honest about it.

Amen
