Many hold the conviction that they bear the solemn duty of redeeming their own souls, meticulously balancing a ledger where virtuous acts must eclipse their transgressions. They also presume to shepherd the soul of their nation through the weight of their ballot. Yet, in truth, such salvation eludes their grasp—neither the individual spirit nor the collective spirit yields to their striving, for God is the governor of both the soul and nations.
Psalms 75:6-7 KJV For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
Psalms 22:28 KJV For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
Was Jesus antisemitic because He avoided the Jews? Is it antisemitic to refuse to let the Jews kill you?
John 7:1 KJV After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Unbelieving religious individuals mistakenly believe they can dictate to Christ by making demands for personal gain and recognition, rather than obeying His commands. We have all witnessed public displays where a fraudulent preacher demands that Jesus perform some act. Instead, we are instructed to petition Him and await His response. For instance, Jesus initially declined to attend the Feast of Tabernacles due to the imminent threat to His life. Nevertheless, He later chose to attend, but on His own terms and at a time of His choosing.
John 7:3 KJV His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
John 7:4 KJV For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
John 7:5 KJV For neither did his brethren believe in him.
John 7:10 KJV But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
Those who refuse to proclaim that the works of the world, devoid of Christ, are evil, will scarcely preach against their own sins. Those who publicly condemn sins they have no desire to repent of are merely hypocrites. I strive for the love of God that brings peace and seek to avoid the hypocrisy that offends Him, rather than pursuing the love of the world, which leads me to question whether I am truly loving God in return or merely concealing my own hypocrisy.
John 7:7 KJV The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
The concept of Jewish supremacy is not new, and it's clear that many people fear discussing it, opting instead to label any criticism of the Jews as antisemitism. In the eyes of Jewish leaders, Jesus was viewed as the ultimate public enemy, an 'antisemite' – despite being Jewish Himself – because His Authority challenged their authority.
John 7:11 KJV Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
John 7:12 KJV And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
John 7:13 KJV Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
When you are God, who authored the Scriptures, what else is there to learn?
John 7:14 KJV Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
John 7:15 KJV And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
The Word is the Son of God, embodying the Doctrine of God, who is Himself God. The Eternal Word existed before the birth of Jesus, the Son of man. Jesus, God in the flesh, acknowledged this truth, using it as a lesson to teach those He instructed about His dual nature as both God and man.
John 7:16 KJV Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
John 7:17 KJV If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
John 7:18 KJV He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
There are no lawkeepers outside of the Law Fulfiller, period.
John 7:19 KJV Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
Jewish murderous plots were dismissed as mere 'conspiracies' even back then.
John 7:20 KJV The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
People believe they are pious in stating not to judge. They are foolish, and we are not to judge foolishly.
John 7:24 KJV Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
They knew who ‘they’ the Christ killers were.
John 7:25 KJV Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
Of course.
Dear Antichrist Dispensationalist Christian, who claims to bless Israel and stand with them unconditionally:
Will you continue to support them and stand with them even in a place where Jesus will not stand?
Is Jesus now cursed and burning in hell in His own excrement because He cursed certain Jews and did not bless them, as recorded in multiple places throughout the New and Old Testaments?
John 7:32 KJV The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
John 7:33 KJV Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
John 7:34 KJV Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
I'm preaching through the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, tackling even the passages that many preachers are afraid of, despite their claim to believe every word.
Do It!! I will share it all to everyone I know!! My younger son loves to see your posts!!! I’m trying to share everything I know and read with family and friends, but I would appreciate the education too!
The Jews sought to kill Jesus and ultimately succeeded, yet He still offered them salvation, and continues to do so today. However, like all people, the Jewish community is not exempt from the necessity of faith in Jesus Christ for eternal salvation.
John 7:37 KJV In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
John 7:38 KJV He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
No one denied Jesus' role as a prophet except for the Antichrist Jews, who labeled Him a deceiver, blasphemer, and demon-possessed. Interestingly, even Muslims today acknowledge Jesus as a prophet. The eternal divide, however, lies in whether one believes He is the Christ or not. While there have been many prophets, there is only one Christ.
John 7:40 KJV Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
John 7:41 KJV Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
John 7:42 KJV Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
John 7:43 KJV So there was a division among the people because of him.
Once you understand His voice, you will come to the same conclusion.
John 7:46 KJV The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
A sanctuary is a place for the sanctified, which is why our local church is named The Soldier’s Sanctuary, in the hope that all who attend our worship and study will seek sanctification through Jesus Christ.
Exodus 25:8 KJV And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
The heart of a person who belongs to Christ and the Ark of the Covenant share a sacred and holy commonality: both contain the testimony of God.
Exodus 25:16 KJV And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
The seven-branched candlestick, also known as the menorah, has long been a symbol of the Biblical Israelites, not the six-pointed antichrist star that has since superseded it.
Exodus 25:37 KJV And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
Job is a remarkable example of the exercise of faith. Initially, Job spoke out of self-pity and confusion, overwhelmed by the circumstances he faced. However, when the LORD meticulously explained that He was always in control and had Job's best interests at heart, Job repented.
Job 42:6 KJV Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Often, our church friends and acquaintances think they understand what God is doing in our lives when hardship strikes, but they mostly don't. At least Job's friends had the humility to repent after the Lord rebuked them. This is what faith does.
Job 42:7 KJV And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
Job 42:8 KJV Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
Job 42:9 KJV So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
Job did not resent his friends who rebuked him without knowledge or understanding; instead, he prayed for them. If Job had remained bitter, he would have remained captive to his own bitterness.
Job 42:10 KJV And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
God takes full responsibility for the evil He unleashes. All I can say is, 'Woe to the unbelievers upon whom this evil is unleashed.' Note, He didn't shift the blame to Satan's actions, for He had permitted Satan to carry out his work. And dear Christian, if such evil becomes a test and lesson of faith as part of our sanctification, remember that God is always in control of it all and has our best interests at heart.
Job 42:11 KJV Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
Father, despite the evil we face in this world, may our faith endure through it all. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
