Psalms 27:1 KJV The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalms 27:3 KJV Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
The 'rock' has always been Christ, and this is the rock on which I stand.
Psalms 27:5 KJV For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
The path of God is plain and simple, but people avoid it for their own paths.
Psalms 27:11 KJV Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
Those who belong to Christ are never fatherless.
Psalms 27:10 KJV When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Life loses its meaning and purpose without the goodness of the LORD. Be encouraged in Him.

Such is the case for many people. They are found guilty of a crime, and upon being caught, they are burdened by the weight of inescapable physical and psychological consequences. They often feel sorry for themselves, not necessarily for their crimes. This kind of repentance is not the redeeming kind that liberates one from guilt and shame. Such insufficient repentance can often lead to suicide.
Matthew 27:3 KJV Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Matthew 27:4 KJV Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
Matthew 27:5 KJV And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Jesus is King of the Jews, the true Jews, that is. All who are in Christ are spiritual Jews.
Matthew 27:11 KJV And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
Romans 2:28 KJV For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Romans 2:29 KJV But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
The Jews hate Christ today because they want to be kings.
Matthew 27:18 KJV For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
The Antichrist Jews will always choose that which is criminal if it destroys Christianity.
Matthew 27:20 KJV But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Where there is no justice you will find Antichrist Jews.
Matthew 27:22 KJV Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Matthew 27:23 KJV And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
The AIPAC pledge will do this every time.
Matthew 27:24 KJV When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
Matthew 27:25 KJV Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Matthew 27:26 KJV Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
You can join the antichrist choir that mocks the King of the Jews if you want, but I feel sorry and pray for your soul.
Matthew 27:29 KJV And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Matthew 27:30 KJV And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

If they believed Jesus had defeated death through the cross, they would have recognized Him as the King of Israel (King of the Jews) and the Son of God. Nathanael believed this even before the resurrection, and many Jews came to believe it after the resurrection.
Matthew 27:42 KJV He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
Matthew 27:43 KJV He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
John 1:49 KJV Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
The earth must shatter beneath their feet, and the rocks of life must crumble before many men will call upon the Son of God.
Matthew 27:54 KJV Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Never underestimate the ministry of a woman, and never elevate it to that of a man, even though they are equal according to the fulfillment of each measure of faith.
Matthew 27:55 KJV And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
Matthew 27:56 KJV Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
The faith of faithful women is hard to surpass.
Matthew 27:61 KJV And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
Many call Him a deceiver. I call Him Lord.
Matthew 27:63 KJV Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
The real deceivers have not been able to bury the truth of Christ for nearly 2000 years and never will.
Matthew 27:64 KJV Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
Matthew 27:65 KJV Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
Matthew 27:66 KJV So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
God said the older would serve the younger; Rebekah did not need to resort to deception to make this happen.
Genesis 27:12 KJV My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
Genesis 27:13 KJV And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
Genesis 25:23 KJV 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.
If those who call themselves Jews today, along with all who serve their antichrist devices, would sincerely repent, we would not be in the antichrist mess we are in throughout the West and the world.
Esther 4:3 KJV And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
Serve the Truth and if we perish, we perish.
Esther 4:16 KJV Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
Father, may we trust in your Word always. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
