King Jesus Christ in the Book of Luke
Resurrection Radio Podcast Episode
Good afternoon! My name is Eduardo. This is Resurrection Radio Podcast. I am your presenter. In this episode, I wanted to speak about King Jesus Christ in the Book of Luke. King Jesus Christ allows us to understand wisdom and the importance of fidelity to GOD Almighty similar to David. King Jesus Christ preached in Israel during his ministry 2,000 years ago approximately about prophecy about the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. and also future time events that are consistent with Revelation describing the times prior to the great tribulation and/or the great tribulation. This describes the times of the closing of the Church Age. King Jesus Christ taught in parables and gave us examples about the importance of worshiping GOD Almighty above everything with sincerity of heart. We learn that Paul and Cephas learned from King Jesus Christ and were able to have zealous faith in GOD Almighty. King Jesus Christ allows us to know the reality that GOD Almighty created so that we can know the truth and not believe temporary lies and deception in the end times. We learn that King Jesus Christ tells us about the need to prioritize the worship of GOD Almighty that is consistent with the words of the prophets about making sure that we have fidelity to GOD Almighty. GOD Almighty does not want us to be hypocritical and wants us to be who we really are. We are supposed to worship GOD Almighty with who we are. We are not supposed to be hypocritical like the Pharisees and Saducees who said one thing and then did not obey the commandments. This speaks about not only preaching but also practicing obedience to the commandments of Moses Exodus 20: 1-17. This speaks about not only preaching but also making sure that there is the practice of righteousness and wisdom. Our actions, words, and intentions all have to worship GOD Almighty.
This speaks about our intentions being to glorify GOD Almighty above everything with our actions without hypocrisy. King Jesus Christ tells us in Luke 12: 22,
"Do not be anxious for anything in your life. What you are to eat or about your body what you will put on. For life is more than food and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens how they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouses nor barn, and yet GOD Almighty feeds them. Of how much more value are you than birds. And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to your span of life. For if you are not able to do such a small thing as this, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies how they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of this. But if GOD so clothes the grass that is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown in the oven, how much will he clothe you, O you of little faith? And do not seek what you are to eat or what you are to drink or be weary. For all the nations of the world seek after these things and your Father knows that you need them. Instead seek His Kingdom and all these things will be added to you. Fear not little flock for it is your Father's pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old with treasures in the Heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, so will your heart be also."- Luke 12: 22-34
Removing Worry and Negative Emotions
King Jesus Christ tells us that we do not need to have negative emotions describing fear, anxiety, and anger. We do not need to be anxious for anything. This does not mean that we do not need to have discipline or plan ahead, yet it does mean that we can trust in GOD Almighty above everything and not need to have anxiety or worry. We do not need to be anxious because GOD Almighty helps us persevere so that we have our basic necessities and also keep preaching eternal truth in King Jesus Christ. We are able to persevere with harmony knowing that GOD Almighty provides. GOD Almighty provides for us our basic necessities, virtues, wisdom, and boldness to preach. GOD Almighty cares about us and guards us from the temporary lies, envy, and evil. We know that we obtain food and clothing that are needed. GOD Almighty knows that. We know that even the nations seeked after food and clothing, and GOD Almighty cared. Even the Gentiles had the basic necessities. At the times of King Jesus Christ's ministry, we know that Jewish individuals are favored and blessed because they obeyed GOD Almighty and had faith describing how individuals were healed, restored, and improved when they renounced sin, idol worship, and vices. Even though the Gentiles did not know about GOD Almighty, GOD Almighty provided food and clothing. If they renounced idol worship, and worship GOD Almighty there was favor. This speaks about how GOD Almighty loves both Jewish and Gentile individuals. We know that after the Resurrection of King Jesus Christ, Jewish and Gentile individuals are given the opportunity to receive favor and blessings in the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that King Jesus Christ is preached to the nations and Israel. GOD Almighty does not make a distinction concerning Jewish or Gentile individuals. The important point is to have faith and fidelity to GOD Almighty. Instead we are supposed to seek His Kingdom and all these things will be added.
This means accepting and confessing King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. If we work for GOD Almighty, preaching, praying, and accomplishing the purpose of GOD Almighty in our lives, then these things are added to us and we do not have to fear. This wisdom is similar to how Moses was able to free Israel from captivity in Egypt and lead in the desert where there were no basic necessities. We learn that GOD Almighty gave Moses and the righteous of Israel the manner to thrive even where there were no basic necessities. Moses and the righteous persevered because of their faith in GOD Almighty obtaining food and water, protection from hostile nations, a cloud by day that guarded from the heat and a pillar of fire by night that provided light. We learn that they obtained wisdom in obeying the commandments of Moses. This speaks about obtaining favor and blessings when we decide to worship GOD Almighty above everything. GOD Almighty wants us to obtain eternal salvation, but we have to prioritize the worship of GOD Almighty and not the temporary things of the world. King Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd and the Shepherd of Israel. King Jesus Christ is with GOD, the Father, and the Spirit of Truth the True GOD Almighty from before the beginning of creation, in the present, future, and for all eternity.
Persevering Recognizing King Jesus Christ Messiah
King Jesus Christ calls the initial disciples and apostles "little flock" instead of large flock because there were only the initial twelve disciples and new apostles in the beginning of King Jesus Christ's ministry. We know that over the time that King Jesus Christ preached, there were crowds that began to follow and listen to King Jesus Christ's preaching and message of repentance of sin. We learn that individuals began to have faith, and decided to believe in King Jesus Christ because of the healing signs and wonders that he was able to accomplish, preach similar to David, and be able to preach the need to repent of sin. We learn that individuals began to have faith in King Jesus Christ and flee from idol worship.
We learn that there are always righteous remnants of faithful individuals that decide to worship GOD Almighty instead of practicing idol worship. We know that in the times of Elijah there is a remnant of individuals that did not practice idol worship. We learn that when Elijah thought that he was the only prophet left after Ahab and Jezebel were practicing wickedness and persecuting, we learn that GOD Almighty tells Elijah that there were 7,000 righteous people in Israel. We learn that there may be fewer individuals that worship GOD Almighty compared to the majority, yet GOD Almighty chooses. We learn that the righteous remnants persevere throughout history and into eternity. GOD Almighty calls us and decides for us. Those that are truly faithful are probably not in the majority. GOD Almighty tells us in the Sacred Scriptures about "entering through the narrow door". We learn that there are difficulties that can only be resolved by having faith in GOD Almighty. We know that the "way is easy that leads to destruction" (Matthew 7: 13-14). This wisdom allows us to know that it takes dedication and discipline to be far apart from the road to destruction. We know that GOD Almighty helps us have discipline and reproof so that we persevere in the path of eternal salvation. King Jesus Christ tells us that we are not supposed to fear.
King Jesus Christ Tells Us to Persevere With Courage
"Do not be anxious, and fear not."-Luke 12: 22, 32
King Jesus Christ tells us not to be anxious or afraid. King Jesus Christ's message of not having negative emotions is consistent with the message of Isaiah describing that there is no need to be in dread.
"Do not be in dread. Let GOD Almighty, the LORD of hosts, be your dread and your fear."- Isaiah 8: 13
King Jesus Christ tells us that we do not need negative emotions because instead we choose to have valor, courage, zeal, and humility to persevere worshiping GOD Almighty. King Jesus Christ's message is consistent with Old Testament prophets. We learn that this is consistent with the Sacred Scriptures of GOD Almighty. This wisdom reminds us that King Jesus Christ is GOD Almighty with GOD, the Father, and the Spirit of Truth. King Jesus Christ tells us not to fear. Do not be afraid. We learn that initially King Jesus Christ calls the disciples and apostles "little flock" because they were only twelve and were increasing in number.
Acknowledging King Jesus Christ Eternal Messiah
We learn that when King Jesus Christ and the disciples were preaching in another region, there were faithless people who did not have faith and left. We learn that King Jesus Christ questioned the disciples if they also wanted to leave. We learn that Cephas answered, 'To where else shall we go LORD. To where else?' That is the answer that we have to give. Even when the majority want to follow idol worship or temporary fleeting pleasures like in the times of Ahab and Jezebel, we are supposed to choose King Jesus Christ. GOD Almighty allows us to persevere with motivation and discipline so that we are not in the road of destruction. GOD Almighty always gives the choice to individuals. GOD Almighty does not force anyone to worship by force.
Even if the majority does not want to worship GOD Almighty, we are still able to obey GOD Almighty. We learn that this wisdom allows us to persevere without negativity and idol worship that only leads to the destruction of the unrepentant wicked. This is so that we strive to enter through the narrow door and forsake the way that is easy that leads to destruction. Even if we have to go against the flow at the end times. This describes the beautiful example of Cephas' response and the manner that all the initial disciples except Judas Iscariot, who trusted in idolatry, were able to persevere preaching eternal salvation in King Jesus Christ. This describes the importance of zeal. Cephas responds by saying, 'To where else shall he go LORD?' describing that King Jesus Christ is the only source of eternal salvation. There is no other option. Only King Jesus Christ gives eternal salvation. The disciples remain with King Jesus Christ and follow King Jesus Christ preaching truth in the different regions. We read in the Book of Acts the preaching, marvellous signs and wonders, and obedience to GOD Almighty that Cephas, Paul, John, Luke, Stephen, Barnabas, and the apostles were able to accomplish. This is because they decided to accomplish the purpose of GOD Almighty worshiping GOD Almighty. We learn that the disciples and apostles preach King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior and persevere. We learn that the righteous disciples and apostles preach to Israel and the nations, and Christianity increased over the past 2,000 years and is still increasing. This describes the power of GOD Almighty and choosing to worship King Jesus Christ.
Prioritizing the Worship of GOD Almighty Above Temporary Material Possessions
We learn that King Jesus Christ tells us not to love the temporary things of the world and instead to prioritize the worship of GOD Almighty. We are not supposed to make material possessions our everything because they are temporary. We learn that Cephas, Paul, and the righteous disciples and apostles, not including Judas Iscariot, are able to accomplish this choosing to preach King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior over the material possessions. We learn that Judas Iscariot destroys himself because he prioritizes temporary material possessions instead of eternal salvation in King Jesus Christ. We learn that we are supposed to sell our material possessions and give to the needy. We learn to prioritize the worship of GOD Almighty and the eternal than the temporary fleeting pleasures and temporary material resources.
We learn that Cephas and Paul organize churches where individuals sold material possessions while the church grew and the needy were cared for. Paul organizes churches based on alms and is able to build up churches in different regions. We learn that churches were created and people repent of sin. Individuals decide to worship GOD Almighty above everything. King Jesus Christ tells us to give priority to the worship of GOD Almighty and obey the Spirit of Truth so that we do not give priority to material temporary resources. We do not have to prioritize extrinsic things. Instead we are supposed to give to the needy.
"Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old. With a treasure in the Heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys."- Luke 12: 30-32
Obtaining Eternal Salvation Accepting and Confessing King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior
We know that in this life there are temptations to make temporary material resources our treasure. We learn that we can not prioritize temporary material resources because they can not be taken to the times of Shabbath Millennium on New Earth. We learn that the only thing that we can take out of this life is our eternal salvation. This is why we choose to accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior and not prioritize temporary material resources. We can not practice idolatry because we choose to worship the Creator and LORD of everything, GOD Almighty, King Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of Truth. King Jesus Christ tells us to prioritize the Kingdom of Heaven instead of idol worship and the temporary. We can not make temporary material resources our everything. This is because we instead choose to make GOD Almighty our everything.
"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."- Luke 12: 34
What are we always thinking about? Do we care about the eternal or the temporary? Do we pay attention to the extrinsic, superficial, and temporary things, or do we choose to prioritize the worship of GOD Almighty above everything. We should be prioritizing the Kingdom of Heaven preaching King Jesus Christ and obeying the commandments of Moses with sincerity of heart instead of practicing idol worship and sin. This is because when we accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior, we are able to obtain the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life. King Jesus Christ tells us to be ready for the return of King Jesus Christ from the clouds at the end of the ages.
Persevering Amidst the Times Prior to the Great Tribulation and/or the Great Tribulation
"You must be ready. Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning. And be like men who are waiting for their master to return home to the wedding feast so that you may open the door to him at once when He comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when He comes. Truly, I tell you, that He will dress himself for service and have them recline at table. If He comes at the second or third watch and finds them awake, blessed are those servants! But know this that if the master of the house would have known at what hour the thief is coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready for the Son of Man is returning at an hour you do not expect."- Luke 12: 35-40
We learn that King Jesus Christ preaches about the end of the ages. This is so that we keep our lamps burning obeying the commandments of Moses and are sober and awake Exodus 20: 1-17. We are supposed to be vigilant about the times that we are living in so that we do not believe temporary lies and deception that tells us that these are the best of times. This is because King Jesus Christ is going to return from the clouds. King Jesus Christ states that blessed are the servants that are able to stay awake and vigilant awaiting the return of their master. This is speaking about the latter times. This speaks about the difficulties that exist at the end times, yet King Jesus Christ helps us persevere and is with us. King Jesus Christ says that He will be with us. If King Jesus Christ finds us ready preaching, worshiping GOD Almighty, obeying the comments of Moses, persevering with faith, studying Scripture, and we are encouraging and edifying believers that is what GOD Almighty wants to find us doing when He returns.
King Jesus Christ does not want us to prioritize the cares of the world or be drunk. We are supposed to be sober and vigilant concerning the times we are living in. We have to be ready for when King Jesus Christ returns because no one knows the time or the day. The signs that King Jesus Christ stated are happening describing earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in different regions.
Division Based on the Name of King Jesus Christ
We learn that King Jesus Christ states that there would be division based on the name of King Jesus Christ. King Jesus Christ tells us that He arrived to earth 2,000 years ago to fulfill the words of the prophets and to cause a schism between individuals who would worship GOD Almighty above everything, preach truth, and have wisdom to understand the reality that GOD Almighty created, and the faithless individuals that would prefer to practice idol worship and prioritize the cares of the world. King Jesus Christ was able to fulfill the words of the prophets dying in the crucifixion and Resurrecting on the third day approximately 2,000 years ago conquering sin, death, and evil for all eternity. King Jesus Christ was able to heal the sick and provide marvellous signs and wonders including walking on water, calming the raging storms at sea, feeding Israel by multiplying the bread and fish, and raising up Lazarus. These signs and wonders alowed individuals to know that King Jesus Christ is the Eternal Messiah. We learn in the Sacred Scriptures that King Jesus Christ fulfilled the words of Isaiah 9, Jeremiah 23, Ezekiel 34, and Daniel 7.
"I came to cast fire on the earth and that it was already kindled. I have a baptism to be baptized with and how great is my distress until it is accomplished. Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on in one house there will be five divided. Three against two and two against three. There will be divided father against son and son against father. Mother against daughter and daughter against mother. Mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."- Luke 12: 49-53
The division that will exist in the end times prior to the return of King Jesus Christ from the clouds is because there are only two paths in this life. There is the choice to decide for the path of eternal salvation accepting and confessing King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior, practicing righteousness obeying the commandments of Moses, and repenting of sin, or the path of destruction in the practice of sin, idol worship, vices, stagnation, negative emotions, temporary lies, and woes. We can either believe the truth and the reality that GOD Almighty created or temporary lies and false perceived perceptions of sin based on deceit, falsehoods, and lies. We can choose to obey GOD Almighty by having the help of the Spirit of Truth in the worship of GOD Almighty or follow the workings of the flesh that cause destruction in the practice of sin. Those are the only two options that exist. There are only two options. GOD Almighty tells us that there would be division among even the closest of closest. We are supposed to remain vigilant knowing that these are not the best of times. We know that there is going to be division in the end times based on the name of King Jesus Christ. GOD Almighty gives us the choice to decide which of the two paths we want to take. Do we want to worship and obey GOD Almighty in the path of righteousness or do we want to follow other things that are not conducive to reading the Scriptures and obedience to GOD Almighty? So we have to be able to interpret the times, so that we know that King Jesus Christ is arriving from the clouds.
King Jesus Christ is Eternal Messiah and Staying Vigilant Concerning the Times We Live In to Protect the Mind From Deception
"He also said to the crowds, 'When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once there is a shower coming, and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, there will be scorching heat, and it happens. You hypocrites, you know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky. Why do you not know how to interpret the present time.'"- Luke 12: 54-56
King Jesus Christ tells us that He is the Eternal Messiah. King Jesus Christ redeemed Israel and the world from sin when He resurrected on the third day approximately 2,000 years ago, and tells us about the events of the end times concerning the division that is going to exist based on the name of King Jesus Christ. King Jesus Christ tells us to know the signs of the times and not only about the weather. King Jesus Christ told us approximately 2,000 years ago the specific signs of the end times. We are able to understand when the times prior to the great tribulation and/or the great tribulation are to begin. King Jesus Christ wants us to know the signs of the times so that we can persevere with eternal salvation, confessing, and preaching King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. This is so that we are sober and vigilant about the times that we are living in. We must stay awake. This means that we must keep our lamps burning obeying the commandments of Moses instructed on Mount Sinai so that we guard ourselves from the deception of the end times. This is so that we do not believe the deception, lies, and deceit at the end times. We learn that we can not believe the deception that is happening at the end times. We are reminded that GOD Almighty's truth burns up the temporary lies of evil. We know that in the end times there is going to be increased lies, falsehoods, and deception so that there is a false belief system. When we accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior, we are able to persevere with the help of the Spirit of Truth. We are not supposed to pay attention to and much less believe the temporary lies. We are able to discern and judge between truth and lies. We are able to have wisdom and discernment to know if specific information may be false and attempting to cause conflict and strife without reason seen in the news. The Spirit of Truth allows us to know if specific information may be based on temporary lies. We are not supposed to pay attention to temporary lies or things that want to lead to idol worship and the practice of sin. We can do our own research and find the truth. We are supposed to prioritize obedience to the commandments of Moses and have healthy skepticism to doubt false information. We learn that the Spirit of Truth helps us distinguish truth from deception and temporary lies. We learn that when individuals practice sin and idol worship, they are led to the road of destruction by the spirit of error. We learn that individuals that practice grave sin are led to destruction in the practice of idol worship.
We learn that the Spirit of Truth allows us to know the truth so that we persevere worshiping GOD Almighty, obeying the commandments of Moses, and preaching King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. We know that King Jesus Christ helps us have the help of the Spirit of Truth. We have the help of the Spirit of Truth when we accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior with sincerity of heart.
King Jesus Christ Instructs Wisdom and Knowing the Times
King Jesus Christ helps us have wisdom so that we know the times that we live in. This is so that we place our priority in the Kingdom of Heaven accepting and confessing King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. King Jesus Christ tells us to make the Kingdom of Heaven our priority and our treasure. We know that what we make our treasure is where our heart is going to be. That is what you are going to believe in. Our actions are going to work in a manner that we are going to obey the commandments of Moses and preach King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior so that we obtain the Kingdom of Heaven. If your heart and mind are set on idols or the things of this world, that are extrinsic and outside of your control, even if you prioritize idol worship, it only wants to lead to the destruction of the individual. We learn that idol worship leads to destruction when it is the center of worship. GOD Almighty wants us to worship GOD Almighty. When we worship GOD Almighty, we have serenity, love, understanding, and grace that allows us to persevere. We know that King Jesus Christ has already conquered sin, death, and evil, and all his foes in the crucifixion and resurrection on the third day approximately two thousand years ago. King Jesus Christ died in the crucifixion and Resurrected on the third day approximately 2,000 years ago conquering sin, death, and evil for all eternity. The Resurrection of King Jesus Christ allows us to have eternal salvation when we accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. We know that GOD Almighty gives King Jesus Christ eternal life. This is the Gospel. This is the good news. King Jesus Christ already conquered and is awaiting to return with all Splendor, Sovereignty, Glory, Majesty, Dominion, Power, Might, Wisdom, and Authority to judge and remove the wicked. We are able to wait, but this does not mean that we sit around doing nothing. We are supposed to keep preaching the Gospel. We are not just waiting. We are supposed to keep preaching the Gospel.
During that waiting time, our faith is increasing and being refined and improved. GOD Almighty allows us to have periods of waiting times, yet we are supposed to improve even amidst the times that we are living in. In Egypt, we learn that Israel waited 400 years until Moses delivered them with the help GOD Almighty with marvellous signs and wonders. When they are in the wilderness, they last forty years in the wilderness because of the faithless individuals. We learn that in four decades the righteous of Israel obtained the Promised Land of Canaan that became the land of Israel. When they obtained the land, they also had to wait a specific amount of time prior to conquering the land since there were 7-9 idolatrous hostile nations. We learn that Joshua obeys GOD Almighty and waits the specific amount of time prior to destroying the wicked and hostile idolators that destroyed their own newborns. We learn that prior to the Chaldean exile, there is the message of repentance of sin preached by Jeremiah. When there is no repentance, there is the Chaldean exile, and the righteous remnant lives in Chaldea for seventy years. We learn that there is a waiting time prior to returning to the land of Israel. We learn that David is anointed king by Samuel yet has to wait specific years prior to being king over Israel. We learn that Hezekiah trusted in GOD Almighty and waited for GOD Almighty to guard them from Assyria and Sennacherib. GOD Almighty destroyed Sennacherib and the wicked of Assyria for their arrogance and idolatry. We learn that GOD Almighty does not forsake his righteous and faithful remnant. We learn that in the meantime we have to keep worshiping GOD Almighty. Sometimes there is that waiting time, yet we are supposed to keep worshiping GOD Almighty and keep preaching King Jesus Christ. In the meantime, we can not become unfaithful, and we need to keep believing in GOD Almighty. We are supposed to keep faith in GOD Almighty and go to Scripture. We have to keep glorifying GOD Almighty. We have to have gratitude to GOD Almighty and keep preaching King Jesus Christ. We have to keep being industrious, preaching, and keep our minds sober. We can persevere with fidelity to GOD Almighty knowing that King Jesus Christ is returning from the clouds. We are not supposed to be enamored by the temporary material resources, temporary wealth, the idols of this world, or the cares of this world. That can be a snare that leads to the path of destruction if there is no repentance of sin. The practice of idol worship destroys individuals who practice idol worship. We are supposed to keep improving, growing in virtues, and being sanctified during the wait time before King Jesus Christ returns from the Highest Heavens. During the time of waiting, we can be preaching, praising, worshiping, and singing making sure that we have GOD Almighty in our hearts, minds, and being. We must love GOD Almighty with all our heart, mind, and soul. We need to obey the first commandment, the second, and all of them. We have to obey the commandments instructed to Moses on Mount Sinai on two tablets of stone. We do not obey the commandments out of self-righteousness, but out of the love for GOD Almighty knowing that we want to please GOD Almighty. We believe in GOD Almighty's promises and know that only GOD Almighty deserves and merits the worship for all eternity.
King Jesus Christ Preached Repentance of Sin Consistent With the Words of the Prophets
King Jesus Christ preached about repentance of sin and this is one of the things that he accomplished. King Jesus Christ preached repentance of sin similar to the prophets. King Jesus Christ used parables to preach important lessons including the need to repent of sin. Even in the Old Testament, there are parables that are used to preach repentance of sin. King Jesus Christ preached the need to repent of sin and also told a parable or a story. This is to help us understand the lesson that King Jesus Christ was preaching.
“There were some present at that very time who told them about the Galileans who's blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifice. And he answered them, 'Do you think these Galileans are worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered in this way.’ No, I tell you, unless you repent you will all likewise perish.’”-Luke 13: 1-5
King Jesus Christ is saying that because of the practice of sin, individuals are destroyed. This is why there is the need to repent of sin. King Jesus Christ tells us that the important point is repentance of sin or else the practice of sin leads to death. GOD Almighty is telling this to the prophets, and GOD Almighty tells us this through the disciples and apostles including Cephas and Paul. If individuals do not repent of their sin and change, initially it may not seem like it, but sin leads to death. GOD Almighty does not want us to fall into a snare of practicing sin and idol worship. The practice of sin is a snare and wants to destroy and consume individuals. King Jesus Christ tells us not to be ensnared and not have difficulties from the practice of sin. There is the need to repent of sin.
“Or those eighteen on whom the Tower of Siloam fell and killed them? Do you think that they were worst offenders than all the rest of them of Jerusalem? No, but I tell you that unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”- Luke 13: 4-5
King Jesus Christ provides examples of individuals that perished. King Jesus Christ tells us to repent of sin or else unrepentant sin and the practice of sin leads to destruction.
King Jesus Christ tells us to repent of our sins. The consequence of sin is death. King Jesus Christ preached the importance of repenting of sin similar to the prophets. We learn that the prophets preached about the need to repent of sin prior to the scattering in 722 B.C. and prior to the Chaldean exile. The righteous prophets preached repentance of sin prior to the exile. We learn that the Chaldean exile was not just the plucking of individuals and being placed in another region. There were wicked individuals in the times of Jeremiah that were destroyed by sword, famine, and pestilence. We learn about a great number of wicked individuals that did not repent of their sin perished prior to the start of the Chaldean exile. We learn that the Chaldeans attacked and destroyed the wicked. We learn that the righteous remnant was spared and safeguarded in Chaldea. This tells us that GOD Almighty judges sin. GOD Almighty judges sin. Even when we think that a little sin does not cause much harm, sin is actually trying to ensnare to the practice of grave sin and the practice of vices.
Repenting of Sin
When we are believers, we know that we have to repent of sin and turn from sin. We can not make sin a lifestyle. Small sin tries to become grave sin, if there is no repentnace of sin. Once there is the practice of grave sin, it tries to destroy the individual. We are supposed to guard the heart and mind and fight off the temptations to sin that are based on temporary lies and falsehoods. We are supposed to be on guard obeying the commandments of Moses. We learn that prior to the return of King Jesus Christ from the clouds, there is going to be a lot of sin. This describes the end times being similar to the times of Noah and the times of Lot. We learn that even if the end times are described as times of difficulty, the righteous are spared and guarded by GOD Almighty. Noah was protected from sin and destruction. Lot was protected from sin and destruction. When we do not sin and obey the commandments of Moses, we persevere with salvation. We know that obedience to the commandments of Moses are protection from sin and the consequences of sin. Not obeying the commandments of Moses is sin. That is how sin was introduced by Adam. GOD Almighty told Adam not to eat out of that tree, and Adam goes and eats out of that tree after the woman offers it to him. We learn that is disobedience and that is sin. Although the Ten Commandments were not instructed, there was that one commandment.
We learn that this is why there are the Ten Commandments because initially there was only one commandment. The Ten Commandments are protection from sin and the difficulties that the practice of sin causes. We learn that there was additional reproof and correction due to the types of sin and grave sin that was happening. When sin was practiced by the wicked, GOD Almighty added reproof and correction. In the Books of the Prophets, we are told to obey the Ten Commandments. In the Book of Malachi, we read that we are supposed to obey the commandments instructed to Moses on Mount Horeb (Mount Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai). We learn that we are supposed to obey the commandments instructed to Moses on two tablets of stone that were received at Mount Sinai. We have to obey the Ten Commandments so that we are protected from sin. The Ten Commandments helps us persevere with eternal salvation along with the faith that we have in King Jesus Christ, practicing meekness and humility, praying for the help of the Spirit of Truth to help us persevere in the path of eternal salvation, and reminding ourselves of the Old Testament promises that are realized in King Jesus Christ, the Eternal King of kings. King Jesus Christ is the continuation of the promises to Abraham and Sarah of having favor and blessings. The exiles are judgment because of grave sin, and we can acknowledge that the practice of sin leads to stagnation, difficulties, woes, judgment, and destruction for the unrepentant wicked. Noah and Lot are able to be spared from the destruction of the wicked.
Strive to Enter Through the Narrow Door
Malachi tells us that there will be individuals that will be spared like a Father spares his son. And you will see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked. GOD Almighty tells us that there is a distinction. King Jesus Christ tells us that we need to enter the Kingdom of Heaven through a narrow door.
“He went on his path through towns and villages journeying towards Jerusalem, and someone told him, 'LORD will those who be saved be few?’ And He told them, 'Strive to enter through the narrow door, for many will seek to enter and they will not be able to since once the master of the house has risen and shut the door and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door and say, 'LORD open to us.’ Then He will answer, 'I do not know where you come from.’ Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence and you taught in our streets.’ But He will say, 'I do not know where you come from, depart from me all you workers of evil. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of GOD. And behold some are last that will be first, and some are first that will be last.'”- Luke 13: 22–30
The first part tells us about how King Jesus Christ taught. He went through towns and villages journeying towards Jerusalem. King Jesus Christ taught consistent to the manner that Ezekiel 34 states that King Jesus Christ sought the lost and healed the injured. That is what King Jesus Christ was able to accomplish approximately 2,000 years ago. King Jesus Christ was able to preach about the Good News. King Jesus Christ preached the Gospel. King Jesus Christ fulfilled the prophecy of Ezekiel 34. Someone asked if those that were going to be saved were going to be few? That individual knew the truth about how not everyone makes it to Heaven. We know that we need to practice righteousness in the worship of GOD Almighty and accept King Jesus Christ to make it to Heaven. This does not mean self-righteousness, but true righteousness. We need to practice true righteousness that is from GOD Almighty. This speaks about obedience to GOD Almighty. We have the eternal atoning sacrifice, eternal temple, and Eternal High Priest that is King Jesus Christ. We know that King Jesus Christ is the Eternal Messiah. We are able to believe in King Jesus Christ. The people of Israel were calling King Jesus Christ LORD. We are able to confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior and obey the commandments of Moses instructed on Mount Sinai. We are able to have faith in the promises of GOD Almighty. We need to practice meekness and humility similar to Moses, Abraham, and Sarah. King Jesus Christ tells us, 'strive to enter through the narrow door.’ We know that the path of salvation is a difficult path, but there are going to be righteous and faithful individuals that trust and prioritize the worship of GOD Almighty that will make it. There are those that won't because they are workers of evil. The wicked are individuals that are reserved for wrath. We know that there are righteous individuals who are going to persevere and do not want to know anything of evil.
King Jesus Christ Describes Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the Prophets Being in Heaven and Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the Prophets Attest to King Jesus Christ Being Eternal Messiah
We know that there are righteous individuals that will make it. We read about Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets that are in the Kingdom of GOD Almighty. We know that there are righteous individuals that are in Heaven because they obeyed GOD Almighty and did not practice wickedness. We know that King Jesus Christ is with GOD, the Father, and the Spirit of Truth, the True GOD Almighty in the Highest Throne in the Highest Heavens from before the beginning of creation, in the present, future, and for all eternity. How could King Jesus Christ say that he saw Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the prophets in Heaven unless He was there?
This helps us know similar to when King Jesus Christ tells the Pharisees, “Before Abraham was, I am.”- John 8: 58. King Jesus Christ tells them that He was One with the Father and the Spirit of Truth. Here again, King Jesus Christ tells us that King Jesus Christ was, is, and forever is with GOD, the Father, and the Spirit of Truth, the One True GOD Almighty. We learn that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the prophets are in the Kingdom of Heaven. That is the beauty of the Sacred Scriptures because Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the prophets attest to King Jesus Christ being Eternal Messiah (Genesis 17: 6, Genesis 49: 9-12, Ezequiel 34, Isaiah 9, 11, 35, 61, 62, Jeremiah 23, Daniel 7), and King Jesus Christ attests to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the prophets being in Heaven.
The Righteous Prophets of GOD Almighty Preached Repentance of Sin
We are able to see the continuation of the promises of the Old Testament from GOD Almighty to Abraham amd Sarah and Abraham's and Sarah's eternal descendants to the New Testament. We learn that the righteous prophets are in the Kingdom of Heaven of GOD Almighty. The prophets include Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Daniel, Elijah, Samuel, and Elisha among the righteous prophets. There are righteous prophets that spoke the truth and got Israel to repent of sin. They were able to work mighty deeds and actions for GOD Almighty. All the mighty actions and preaching were for the glorification of GOD Almighty. GOD Almighty glorifies the righteous prophets by allowing them into the Kingdom of Heaven. We know that the righteous prophets are in Heaven. When we read about the prophets, we know that they are considered important like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They are in the Kingdom of Heaven. The righteous prophets of GOD Almighty are saved. That is the beauty of it.
We read that Jeremiah goes through affliction and tribulation for speaking truth and preaching repentance of sin. Jeremiah judges the nations and tells people about the need to obey GOD Almighty. Jeremiah speaks about King Jesus Christ six hundred years prior to the birth of King Jesus Christ and also preached repentance of sin. Jeremiah tells people the things that GOD Almighty tells him to preach. Even when he goes through times of difficulty, hardship, and tribulation, that allows him to grow closer to GOD Almighty. Jeremiah knows that GOD Almighty is his salvation not only in this life, but also in the next life. King Jesus Christ states that the righteous prophets are in Heaven. That is what we look after, eternal salvation in King Jesus Christ. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob obtained eternal salvation along with the righteous prophets. King Jesus Christ says that there will be true faithful Christians who will be able to live in Heaven who are going to go from east, west, north, and south and from all nations like we read in the Book of Revelation. This is describing true righteous Christians that believe in King Jesus Christ. There is true equality from GOD Almighty, and He does not make distinctions between Jewish and Gentile individuals. GOD Almighty wants every individual to be saved from humanity, but there is the need to accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior and repent of sin with sincerity of heart. GOD Almighty sent King Jesus Christ to the Jewish individuals first because of Abraham and Sarah. We learn that after the Resurrection of King Jesus Christ on the third day approximately thousand years ago, King Jesus Christ tells the disciples and apostles to preach to Israel and the nations. King Jesus Christ gives both the Jewish and Gentile individuals the opportunity to be saved. We know that after the Resurrection of King Jesus Christ, there is no distinction between Jewish and Gentile Christian believers. We know that there will be true righteous Christian believers from all the nations who will recline at table in the Kingdom of Heaven. This describes that there are going to be true righteous Christians that are going to be saved because they placed their priority and importance in the worship of GOD Almighty and accepted King Jesus Christ. When we are saved, we have gladness of heart, wisdom, authority, power, virtues, salvation, and eternal salvation. We know that all these things are good because they are from GOD Almighty. We learn that in the times of Shabbath Millennium there is great abundance in the New Earth that has never been seen in the past.
The Importance of Virtues Including Humility and Meekness
"Behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."- Luke 13: 30
This describes the importance of being meek and humble. This describes that GOD Almighty exalts the humble, and humbles the exalted. This wisdom describes that the humble ans meek thatvwork for GOD Almighty are the greatest. This describes that the greatest among Christians are the individuals that are humble, meek, and who serve. GOD Almighty wants us to be humvle, to serve, and preach about the wonders of GOD Almighty and eternal salvation in King Jesus Christ. If we are going to boast, we are going to boast in GOD Almighty. We are not going to boast in ourselves and instead we are going to boast in GOD Almighty. We learn about King Jesus Christ describing the importance of that distinction. We know that sometimes there are difficulties in the life of a Christian because of opposition or temptations, yet GOD Almighty is able to save us from that. We have to get rid of the ego, arrogance, and sin. Instead of working in the flesh, we decide to obey the commandmenrs of Moses. The temptations of evil want to state temporary lies so that there is ego and the individual thinks that practicing sin and vices help, when in reality, the practice of sin and arrogance does not help. The temptations and temporary lies want individuals to stray to the path perdition in the practice of vices. Instead we have to keep worshiping GOD Almighty, King Jesus Christ, and the Spirir of Truth above everything with sincerity of heart. We learn that the temptations are not based on truth and are trying to ensnare to the practice of sin. This is with the intention to lead wicked individuals to the practice of sin and destruction. When we seek the worship of GOD Almighty above everything, there is salvation. We are able to have the help of the Spirit of Truth when we obey the commandmenrs of Moses with sincerity of heart and ask GOD Almighty to help us persevere with fidelity to GOD Almighty. The practice of sin that is the workings od the flesh want to lead the wicked to destruction. No one wants to go through stagnation, vices, and destruction for the practice of sin and idol worship. When we are Christians, there may be persecution, opposition, and affliction due to the envy of evil, but GOD Almighty delivers from destruction. If there is not belief in GOD Almighty, no obedience to the Ten Commandments, no accepring and confessing King Jesus Christ, and no faith in GOD Almighty, there is no protection from the destruction in the practice of sin and vices. If we walk closer to GOD Almighty, GOD Almighty walks closer to us. If individuals forsake GOD Almighty, GOD Almighty forsakes those individuals. We have to pay attention to what GOD Almighty tells us. If GOD Almighty says, "Love GOD Almighty with all your heart, mind, and soul." Then that is what we are supposed to do. That is what we are supposed to do. Everyday. Every month. Every year. That is described in Scripture about the need to prioritize the worship of GOD Almighty. King Jesus Christ tells us that it is a "narrow door" to get into Heaven. We learn that the prophets are there including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
GOD Almighty Protects the Righteous Who Persevere With Fidelity
There are individuals that are in Heaven. We know that we can obtain eternal salvation, but we have to remain sober and vigilant prioritizing the worship of King Jesus Christ. We have to prioritize the worship of GOD Almighty above everything. We have to prioritize working for GOD Almighty preaching and writing truth, and we know that all the things that we need are added to us described in Matthew 6: 33. We obtain our necessities not only in this Earth, but also obtain eternal salvation in the worship of GOD Almighty and preaching King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior working for GOD Almighty. We are able to persevere in this life and most important obtaining eternal salvation being able to live on the New Earth in Shabbath Millennium and all eternity in New Jerusalem. We are given eternal salvation like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the Prophets.
We read about the story of Daniel being persecuted, and GOD Almighty saving his life from the mouth of the lions. Daniel also obtains eternal salvation for trusting in GOD Almighty above everything. We learn about the story of Isaiah about the difficulties that existed when Sennacherib and Assyria attempted to persecute Isaiah and the righteous. We learn that there were difficulties because Sennacherib was attempting to intimidate and attempting to discourage from the faith in GOD Almighty. We learn that the Southern Kingdom of Judah along with Isaiah and King Hezekiah persevere in the worship of GOD Almighty. GOD Almighty delivers King Hezekiah, Isaiah, and the Kingdom of Judah from Sennacherib and Assyria. GOD Almighty protects not only the prophet and the king, but also the righteous of the Southern Kingdom of Judah. We learn that Sennacherib and the Assyrians are destroyed by GOD Almighty because King Hezekiah, Isaiah, and the righteous trusted in GOD Almighty.
King Jesus Christ is Eternal Salvation and LORD of Heaven and Earth
So we learn that the prophet is saved and given eternal salvation. We have to remind ourselves that there are individuals in Heaven who were human beings but are now perfect creations in GOD Almighty. This describes that Christians are human beings who choose the worship of GOD Almighty and are improved. We learn that once we make it to Heaven, we are going to be new and perfect creations. We learn that once King Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead on the third day approximately two thousand years, King Jesus Christ is described being unapproachable infinite and eternal light. We know that King Jesus Christ appears to his disciples and apostles after the resurrection. We learn that there is also food in heaven because when King Jesus Christ resurrects he is able to eat food. We know that there is reclining at table, so there is going to be food in Heaven. We know that GOD Almighty is going to provide for our needs. We know that we do not have all the details of what Heaven is going to be like, but we know that it is going to be even greater than what we can imagine because Heaven is where GOD Almighty, King Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of Truth dwell for all eternity. We know that because GOD Almighty dwells in the Highest Heavens, the Highest Heavens are marvellous and glorious. We know that we can not describe Heaven entirely because the human mind can not comprehend. We can think that the Highest Heavens are glorious.
This describes the importance of persevering similar to the prophets preaching repentance of sin. We have to keep sober and vigilant over the times that we are living in, so that we prioritize eternal salvation in the worship of GOD Almighty and preaching King Jesus Christ. We can not go after the ways of the world describing idol worship and the practice of sin. We have to choose the path of eternal salvation practicing fidelity to GOD Almighty obeying the commandments and not be in the path of perdition practicing sin. We have to persevere in the path of GOD Almighty. We can persevere with serenity and peace knowing that King Jesus Christ has already conquered sin, death, and evil for all eternity in the resurrection on the third day approximately two thousand years ago. We learn that King Jesus Christ fulfilled the words of the Prophets and obtained eternal salvation. King Jesus Christ is able to give righteous Christians who accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior eternal salvation. We learn that King Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd.
King Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd
“Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to him and the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled saying, 'This man receives sinners and eats with them.' And he told them this parable, 'What man having a hundred sheep and has lost one of them does not leave the ninety-nine in the country and go after the one he has lost until he finds it. And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulder and goes rejoicing and comes home and tells his friends and neighbors, 'Rejoice with me for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Therefore, I tell you there will be more joy in Heaven over one sinner that repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons that need no repentance.’”- Luke 15: 1-7
This talks about the beauty of repentance of sin. There is glorification and rejoicing in Heaven when one sinful individual decides to repent of sin with sincerity of heart, obeys the commandments of Moses, and accepts King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. Of course, the other ninety-nine individuals are righteous and are saved. This is good because this describes the need to repent of sin so that individuals are far from the road of destruction in the practice of sin and idol worship.
It is difficult for sinful individuals sometimes to understand that the practice of sin, vices, envy, and idol worship only leads to destruction. The only method of obtaining eternal salvation is in King Jesus Christ. We know that being saved in King Jesus Christ is more important than idol worship. King Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd. We know that King Jesus Christ found the lost and preached in Israel. King Jesus Christ journeyed in towns and villages on his path to Jerusalem preaching the need to repent of sin, worship GOD Almighty, and accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. King Jesus Christ accomplished the words of Ezekiel 34 being able to heal the sick, bind the injured, and help the outcast. We learn that King Jesus Christ accomplished the purpose of GOD Almighty. We know that there are no shepherds that would do that and only King Jesus Christ was able to accomplish this and is the Good Shepherd of Israel. This is why King Jesus Christ has the name above every other name. We learn that King Jesus Christ went and found the lost sheep and returned them to the path of eternal salvation seen in the individuals that repented of sin and accepted King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. King Jesus Christ found the lost sheep and returned them to Heaven describing the individuals that decided to be righteous. King Jesus Christ returns the sheep to the green pastures described in the writings of David, Psalm 21, 'The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” King Jesus Christ tells us that he is the Good Shepherd.
Obeying the Commandments of Moses Instead of False "Wisdom" of Idol Worship
King Jesus Christ rejoices when individuals repent of sin and return to the path of eternal salvation. King Jesus Christ allows us to persevere so that we make it to green pastures. We are able to persevere to the Kingdom of Heaven. We know that green pastures symbolize entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven because in Heaven there is everything that we need and serenity. Individuals can be saved once they believe and have faith in King Jesus Christ being Eternal LORD and Savior.
“He said, ‘Of the coming of the kingdom when asked by the Pharisees, 'When the Kingdom of GOD would come?' He answered them, 'The Kingdom of GOD is not coming in ways that can be observed nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or 'There!' for behold, the Kingdom of GOD is in the midst of you.'”- Luke 17: 20-21
King Jesus Christ is the One True GOD Almighty with GOD, the Father, and the Spirit of Truth since before the beginning of creation, in the present, future, and for all eternity. King Jesus Christ described that the Kingdom of Heaven was in the midst of them and described that King Jesus Christ is the Eternal Messiah. King Jesus Christ is the Son of GOD and is part of GOD Almighty. We learn about how GOD Almighty uses what the world considers “folly” to shame the “wise” of the world that practice idol worship. This describes the manner that Isaiah 29: 13-14 describes that the false “wisdom” of the Pharisees would not help because it was based on false mortal made “commandments” not instructed by GOD Almighty to Moses and how the disciples and apostles would be able to preach truth and true wisdom. We learn that the Pharisees taught fake “wisdom” while GOD Almighty instructed true wisdom in the commandments given to Moses and the Sacred Scriptures. We learn that the Pharisees were looking at an individual like Solomon to be the Messiah while GOD Almighty had decided for King Jesus Christ who is similar to David. We learn that the Pharisees wanted the kingdom to look like Solomon's when GOD Almighty had decided for King Jesus Christ to be the true Messiah and King of kings. We learn that King Jesus Christ never practices idol worship similar to David. King Jesus Christ is humble, meek, a servant, and preaches repentance of sin. The individuals that were wicked did not understand this because they practiced arrogance, sin, and vices. We learn that King Jesus Christ tells us that He is the Messiah. King Jesus Christ was born two thousand years ago and accomplished the words of the Prophets being similar to David.
King Jesus Christ is the True Messiah
“The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. And they will say to you, 'Look, there!' or 'Look, here!' Do not go out or follow them. For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.”- Luke 17: 22–24
King Jesus Christ is making the distinction. King Jesus Christ states the difference and says that He is the true Messiah. We know that there are other individuals who are going to claim that they are Jesus Christ, but they are not King Jesus Christ. The world wants to see their own king Solomon. King Jesus Christ tells us that He is the Son of GOD and the true Messiah. In future times, people will want to see King Jesus Christ, but first there will be deceivers. They are not King Jesus Christ. This is important because King Jesus Christ warns us about guarding ourselves from false prophets and deceivers who want to lead to the practice of sin and idol worship. We know that this is important so that we know the times that we are living in. It is funny because people in those times were looking for Solomon when King Jesus Christ was in their midst. GOD Almighty was with the people, in their midst, and they did not know. In these times, true Christian believers want King Jesus Christ to return from the clouds and instead there are false prophets and impostors.
King Jesus Christ says, “Do not go out or follow them. For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his days.”- Luke 17: 23–24 King Jesus Christ told us two thousand years ago approximately that King Jesus Christ is the Messiah. King Jesus Christ tells us that, in our times two thousand years later, that there are going to be false messiahs. King Jesus Christ is arriving from the clouds.
Persevering With Faith in King Jesus Christ Guarding the Heart and Mind From Deceit
We are going to see King Jesus Christ arriving from the clouds. So it is going to be from the sky. Again, describing where King Jesus Christ is from. The Highest Heavens. Where is King Jesus Christ ruling from after resurrecting from the dead, being given eternal life from GOD Almighty, and gives us eternal life, at the Right Hand Side of the Father in the Highest Heavens. King Jesus Christ is going to return from the clouds. The same method that He left earth for Heaven once He was resurrected after He appeared to his disciples, He is returning from the Highest Heavens. He went up to Heaven after the resurrection. King Jesus Christ went to the Highest Heavens. King Jesus Christ is seated at the Right Hand Side of the Father until GOD Almighty decides to send King Jesus Christ. King Jesus Christ is returning from the Highest Heavens. We are going to see King Jesus Christ returning from the heavens that are close to earth when King Jesus Christ returns. We are not supposed to pay attention to individuals that speak temporary lies, deception, and deceit. There are lies that state that King Jesus Christ is arriving from earth. No! From the clouds. From the Highest Heavens.
“But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.”- Luke 17: 25
King Jesus Christ prophesied about how He was going to be rejected by the wicked in His time. King Jesus Christ knew He was going to be rejected, yet was going to be accepted by the righteous and meek. Paul describes that GOD Almighty uses what the world considers “folly” to shame the “wise” of the world. GOD Almighty is able to exalt the humble and humble the exalted. King Jesus Christ was going to be rejected by his generation because the Pharisees practiced idolatry and some people rejected him. Yet, GOD Almighty exalts King Jesus Christ to the Right Hand Side of the Father in the Highest Heavens after the resurrection.
Persevering Amidst the Times Prior to the Great Tribulation and/or the Great Tribulation
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.”- Luke 17: 26
What happened in the days of Noah? There was wickedness, yet Noah was spared. This is similar to the days of Lot, yet Lot was spared. We learn that in the days of Ahab and Jezebel there was wickedness. We know that GOD Almighty is able to spare the righteous. GOD Almighty had Elijah and righteous prophets that were spared. Elijah was able to have faith in GOD Almighty and change everything around. King Jesus Christ is going to change everything around so that there is no more wickedness for all eternity. Before King Jesus Christ returns from the clouds, the days are going to be like the days of Noah. There are individuals that are going to practice wickedness. We know that there is going to be increased wickedness and lawlessness in the end times described in the Gospel and Book of Revelation. King Jesus Christ told us about how the end times were going to look like two thousand years ago. We know that it is nothing new. In the days of Noah, there was wickedness and in the days of King Jesus Christ's return from the clouds there is wickedness on the earth because of disobedience to the commandments from the wicked and idolators.
“They were eating and drinking and being given in marriage until the day Noah entered the ark and the flood came.”- Luke 17: 27
We learn that the flood happened all of a sudden. Only Noah had the warning because Noah was a faithful individual. Obedience through faith to GOD Almighty. There was obedience in Noah. GOD Almighty allowed Noah to know. GOD Almighty told Noah to construct the ark. GOD Almighty told Noah to get the animals in the ark. GOD Almighty told Noah to safeguard his family in the ark prior to the start of the flood. Then to get ready for the start of the rain. Then to get ready for the flood. GOD Almighty helped Noah persevere through the flood. GOD Almighty allowed Noah to understand and saved him and his family from the destruction. We learn that there is salvation that exists that is from GOD Almighty in this life, but the most important of all, eternal salvation.
GOD Almighty Judges and Destroys the Wicked
“The flood came and destroyed them all.”- Luke 17: 27
We learn that Noah and his family were not destroyed. The flood was able to destroy all of wicked humanity. That is what King Jesus Christ is referring to the manner that wicked humanity will be destroyed. The righteous will be saved just like Noah was saved in the ark. Those that were wicked were destroyed by the flood and by the waters.
“Likewise, just like in the days of Lot they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all.”- Luke 17: 28-29
This example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the wicked was through fire and sulfur. There is the same understanding about the day when King Jesus Christ returns, removes, and judges the wicked. We learn that day is going to be all of a sudden. While there are scoffers that say that it has always been the same, we learn that all of a sudden there is destruction for the wicked. We do not know the specific time, yet we do know the signs of the times. King Jesus Christ says, “No one knows the time or the date,” but we know the specific signs of the times. This describes the Parable of the Fig Tree about how the fig tree tells us that summer is near because it begins to sprout leafs and produces fruit. This describes the importance of knowing the signs of the times. Like the fig tree, we are able to know the signs of the times. Although some people think that it has always been the same, it is not the same as it has always been. There is increased wickedness and that is a sign. We learn that there is wickedness like in the days of Noah and the days of Lot and that is a sign. We learn that there are also the righteous that are spared. Malachi describes that the righteous are spared.
The Righteous Are Spared and the Wicked Destroyed
“You will see a distinction between the righteous and the wicked.”- Malachi 3: 18
Noah is a distinction between the righteous and the wicked in the generation that he lived. Lot is a distinction between the righteous and the wicked in the generation that he lived. King Jesus Christ is telling us to be sober and vigilant.
We are able to distinguish with the help of the Spirit of Truth that we can not partake with wickedness. In the end times, there is going to be deception. There are going to be false prophets and evil people that are going to say lies. Even corrupted preachers in the end times are going to say that it is ok to practice sexual immorality and idol worship. That is not what GOD Almighty says in the Sacred Scriptures. We have to learn that we obey GOD Almighty, and we do not follow the world. The wicked false prophets want to ensnare and say things that are not consistent with the Sacred Scriptures. Paul tells the churches no division, no sexual immorality, and no idol worship. That is being a true leader. That is being a true individual that states the truth of GOD Almighty. We do not have to pay attention to the wickedness because, “bad company corrupts good morals.”
Preaching Truth
We preach, we hope it reaches them, if it does not, we keep preaching to other individuals all over the world, but the important part is that individuals know what they want for themselves. Those are the two choices that exist. There is no relativity, relative grid, or relative amount of different choices. There are only two choices. Either we choose to worship GOD Almighty, King Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of Truth or individuals decide to not worship GOD Almighty, King Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of Truth. We learn that the end times are said to be very similar to the times of Noah or the days of Lot.
“On that day, let the one who is in the housetop with his goods in the house not go down to take them away. And let the one who is in the field not turn back. Remember Lot's wife.”- Luke 17: 31-32
We learn that this is referring to Lot's wife. We are not supposed to be accustomed to the ways of the world. Do not yearn for the ways of this world. Do not place your heart on the treasures that are temporary. King Jesus Christ tells us in the Gospel about placing our importance in accepting and confessing King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior and obtaining eternal salvation in King Jesus Christ. When we have eternal salvation in King Jesus Christ we have eternal treasures in the Kingdom of Heaven. We can only take our eternal salvation from this life. You can not take anything else. The worse part is losing yourself. That is the worse part. Right? There are only two choices. Gaining the Heavenly Kingdom or losing yourself. By saying losing yourself means not gaining the Heavenly Kingdom. Gaining the Heavenly Kingdom means gaining everything. We learn that this wisdom is contrary to what the world says. The world will make infomercials on something that is not needed, but no thanks.
King Jesus Christ is Eternal LORD and Savior
We have to place our attention to the message that GOD Almighty is giving us. King Jesus Christ being GOD Almighty's only Son told us what the end times were going to look like approximately two thousand years ago. King Jesus Christ humbled himself from being in the Highest Heavens to tell us these things specifically. King Jesus Christ completed His ministry and accomplished the words of the Prophets. Not only that but being able to die in the crucifixion and resurrected in the third day approximately two thousand years ago. GOD Almighty gave King Jesus Christ eternal salvation, and King Jesus Christ gives us eternal salvation when we accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior.
That is love. That is steadfast filial love, faithfulness, and grace. We learn that He is saying, “Remember Lot's wife.” Lot's wife looked back, and GOD Almighty told Lot not to even look back. GOD Almighty told Lot and his famility not to look back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. We learn that those cities were going to be destroyed, and were going to be a desolation. When there is extensive sin, the land is also afflicted.
Prioritizing Eternal Salvation in King Jesus Christ and Avoiding Idolatry and Sin
While the lives of evildoers, sinners, and the wicked are afflicted for practicing sin and being judged, the land is also afflicted. The cities where Lot lived were going to become a desolation meaning no one was ever going to live in those lands ever again. That is what happens. To this day, the land of Sodom and Gomorrah are uninhabitable. That is GOD Almighty's judgment. GOD Almighty is saying to not even look back like Lot's wife did. We are not supposed to remember or salvage anything that is trying to lead us astray to the path of idol worship and perdition. We are leaving this earth with our salvation prioritizing the worship of GOD Almighty. We can not prioritize the temporary and superficial.
Righteous Christians obtain eternal salvation because they place their faith in King Jesus Christ. When we read about this, we are able to understand the favor and blessings that exist in the worship of GOD Almighty even amidst persecution or envy. We learn that King Jesus Christ states that He saw Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the prophets in Heaven. This speaks about King Jesus Christ being GOD Almighty with GOD, the Father, and the Spirit of Truth. We also know that there are righteous individuals that made it to Heaven because they decided to worship GOD Almighty above everything.
Choosing King Jesus Christ Over the Things of the World
“Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.”- Luke 17: 33
This is what I was referring to right now. This is what Lot's wife represents. Lot's wife becomes a pillar of salt and is a visible representation of looking back at the things that are not good for us describing the practice of sin, vices, idol worship, disobeying GOD Almighty, and that is what that is referring to. GOD Almighty was rescuing Lot and his family from the persecution of the wicked in Sodom and Gomorrah, and Lot's wife decided to look back being that they were being rescued by GOD Almighty. Lot's wife becomes a pillar of salt and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed. Lot's wife no longer had life. We learn that individuals that obey GOD Almighty have the help of the Spirit of Truth and there is perseverance, life, and peace amidst everything. Individuals that are wicked and practice idol worship do not have the help of the Spirit of Truth and instead have the spirit of error. The wicked do not have eternal life, peace, and stability. We learn that the wicked individuals become like statues Psalm 135: 15–18.
We learn there is no eternal life practicing idol worship and vices. There is no help from the Spirit of Truth. GOD Almighty is the Creator. If there is no presence of GOD Almighty with the wicked, they become like the statues that they worship. That is what David says in Psalm 135: 15–18. David tells us that there is no life in the wicked who practice sin and vices. There is no joy, no peace, no understanding, no wisdom, no happiness, no steadfast love, no grace, no zeal, no strength, no courage, and no truth, and that is the distinction of both. That is why King Jesus Christ states that if, “Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it,” this means the earthly life. Whoever seeks to preserve this earthly life and tries to salvage whatever they can from this earthly life, they are going to lose their eternal life. That is what King Jesus Christ means. Whoever tries to preserve this temporary earthly life, will lose it. Whoever tries to preserve this earthly life, will lose it. If individuals choose the worldly perspective, they will lose the eternal salvation in King Jesus Christ. You can not take anything out of this life except your eternal salvation. And then for the righteous who are faithful believers, “Whoever loses his life will keep it.” Luke 17: 33. Whoever loses this life from the earthly perspective will gain their eternal salvation because they prefer King Jesus Christ over the temporary and superficial things of the world. This is because instead we choose to glorify GOD Almighty. If worshiping, honoring, and glorifying GOD Almighty causes us to lose everything from the superficial and temporary things of the world, so be it. Like Paul says that he counts everything rubbish so that he can obtain eternal salvation in King Jesus Christ. This is what King Jesus Christ wants from us. This may seem very zealful and that there are only two sides but that is the truth. I am not preaching and writing to glorify myself. I am not doing this to tell you later, I told you so. That is my point. My point is for you to accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior and be saved. If someone is a non-believer, that they may believe in King Jesus Christ. Whoever is a believer, that they may keep their faith in King Jesus Christ. That is why I made this podcast, and I keep preaching truth. Because I do not want faithful believers to pay attention to the temporary lies, deceptions, and distractions that are being created on the news and things like that (referring to the temporary lies that were started four years ago about covid “vaccines”). This is so that individuals have something positive to listen to and read. This is so that they can keep their faith in King Jesus Christ, and so that they can get eternal salvation. If there are non-believers, that they may at least see things from a different perspective that no one has taught them before. Hopefully, they may believe in King Jesus Christ.
Persevering Amidst the End Times Deception
We know that “whoever loses his life will keep it.” Luke 17: 33. Whoever loses the earthly life will keep their eternal salvation. There is a stark contrast. If you decide for this earthly life, it seems like you are going to be ok and have things, but no, it is not even that. It is temporary. The time is going to pass quickly. When you choose the eternal, there may be opposition, difficulty, and persecution, but there is nothing that compares to the eternal. We learn that King Jesus Christ is with us and the Spirit of Truth is with us. We are being guided to persevere in the path of eternal salvation. That is what we have to know being Christian believers.
“I tell you in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left. And they said to him, ‘Where LORD?’ And He said to them, 'Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.’”- Luke 17: 34-37
What King Jesus Christ is telling us is that this may be describing the rapture. In that night when King Jesus Christ returns, there are going to be two individuals at a specific place, one will be taken and the other left. One will make it to heaven being taken up by the angels of heaven, and the other individual will remain on earth to experience the great tribulation. There is that distinction to be made. We are able to learn like Malachi says, “There will be a distinction between the righteous and the wicked. Like a father spares his son.” Malachi 3: 18. You will know a distinction between the righteous and the wicked. The righteous in the times of Malachi question what is the distinction between being righteous and being wicked. We learn that there are difficulties that exist. It “appears” that the wicked “prosper”, but that is not the case. GOD Almighty says that is not the truth. The righteous are spared from destruction, and the wicked won't be spared. There will be a distinction being made. There is the Book of Remembrance that may be the Book of Life. We are able to know that there is a distinction being made. We learn that King Jesus Christ is very specific about the events that we are living in, and He spoke about this 2,000 years ago approximately. We are able to see the start of the events that King Jesus Christ spoke about. We learn that King Jesus Christ told us this 2,000 years ago and the manner that it is to the specific detail that King Jesus Christ stated. The details are specific to what we are seeing. We only have two specific choices. This wisdom allows us to know that we have to stay vigilant concerning the times that we are living in. King Jesus Christ warns us about the end times, and the need to believe in His promises. GOD Almighty loves the individuals that the end times false society does not deem worthy of. We know that through everything that has happened, GOD Almighty uses individuals that are not deemed worthy by society to glorify them. We learn that GOD Almighty glorified Moses, David, King Jesus Christ, and Paul. We learn that GOD Almighty exalts the humble and humbles the exalted.
Triumphant Entry of King Jesus Christ Into Jerusalem
When King Jesus Christ made his triumphant entry into the city of Jerusalem, we learn that He accomplished the specific prophecy of Jacob and Zecchariah that speak about the Messiah entering Jerusalem riding on a donkey. We learn that King Jesus Christ was going to arrive to Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Jacob prophesies about this in Genesis 49: 11. We learn that this describes the humility of King Jesus Christ. We learn that King Jesus Christ accomplished the suffering servant portion of His ministry when He first arrived to earth approximately two thousand years ago. We learn that King Jesus Christ accomplishes the conquering King of kings portion when He resurrects. We learn that King Jesus Christ is going to return from the Highest Heavens. We learn that Zecchariah also states that King Jesus Christ was going to arrive to Jerusalem riding on a donkey. The donkey symbolizes humbleness. We learn that King Jesus Christ is able to enter Jerusalem. We learn that there is a white horse that King Jesus Christ rides on when He returns from the Highest Heavens in Revelation 19: 11-21 that describes that King Jesus Christ is the King of kings and is victorious. King Jesus Christ is Eternal Ruler. King Jesus Christ is with GOD, the Father, and the Spirit of Truth, the True GOD Almighty. We know that King Jesus Christ is the Author of Life because He resurrected and allows us to have eternal life when we accept King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior.
“And when He had said these things He went on ahead going to the city of Jerusalem. When they drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of his disciples, saying, 'Go to the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it? You shall say this: 'The LORD has need of it.’ So those who were sent went away found it just as He had told them. And as they were untying the colt, its owner said to them, 'Why are you untying the colt?’ And they said, 'The LORD has need of it.’ And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. And as He rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. As He was drawing near-already on the way down to the Mount of Olives- the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise GOD with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, 'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD! Peace in Heaven and glory in the Highest!’ And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, 'Teacher, rebuke your disciples.’ He answered, 'I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.’”- Luke 19: 28–40
I love King Jesus Christ. We learn that King Jesus Christ rides on a donkey to Jerusalem just how Jacob and Zecchariah had said. This describes King Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into the city of Jerusalem. Jesus Christ is the Messiah that was prophesized by the prophets. The suffering servant. We learn that later King Jesus Christ is the Conquering King of kings. King Jesus Christ is the Everlasting King. King Jesus Christ is the Everlasting High Priest. When King Jesus Christ is on earth, He is a suffering servant. GOD Almighty humbles the exalted, and exalts the humble. We learn that when the disciples untie the donkey, the donkey had not been sat on before. This tells us about the manner that the prophesy of Jacob and Zacchariah about the Messiah was completed by King Jesus Christ. No one else had ever sat on that donkey. We learn that the donkey was created so that King Jesus Christ could enter the city of Jerusalem. When they asked, 'Why are you untying it?' We learn that they said that, 'The LORD has need of it.’ We learn that when they learn about this, they allowed the disciples to take the donkey to King Jesus Christ. Everything works out for the good of the Kingdom of Heaven and the good of righteous Christians. When King Jesus Christ, the disciples, and apostles were making their entry into the city, people were throwing their cloaks on the ground and acknowleding that King Jesus Christ is the Eternal Messiah. Individuals did acknowledge that King Jesus Christ is the Eternal Messiah during his time on earth. We learn that there are people in these times that acknowledge King Jesus Christ being the Eternal Messiah.
King Jesus Christ is Eternal Messiah
We learn that when King Jesus Christ made his entry into Jerusalem and the people were worshiping GOD Almighty and recognizing King Jesus Christ, Eternal Messiah, the Pharisees had envy and anger. They have negative emotions because they see that the disciples, apostles, and believers say, 'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD.' King Jesus Christ humbled himself from being in the Highest Heavens to glorify GOD Almighty to be a suffering servant similar to David. From the promises of GOD Almighty to Abraham, we learn that Abraham would have descendants that would increase in number like the stars of the skies and the sands of the sea. Abraham and Sarah's eternal descendants would obtain the land of Israel. The children of Abraham and Sarah would persevere throughout history and all eternity. There would be kings from Abraham and Sarah's descendants and would have the everlasting King of kings that is King Jesus Christ. This describes Jacob's blessings to the tribe of Judah. We learn that the Levitical priesthood was favored when there was righteousness in the times of Moses, Joshua, and David. We learn that when the Levitical priesthood could not upheld their priestly calling seen in the Pharisees and Saducees, King Jesus Christ is the Everlasting High Priest and Temple. So King Jesus Christ is the Everlasting High Priest, Everlasting Temple, Eternal Intercessor, and King of kings. We learn that is accomplished by the Eternal Messiah, King Jesus Christ.
They are able to see that King Jesus Christ is the Messiah. The faithful believers say, 'Peace in Heaven and glory in the Highest!’ They are praising GOD Almighty and glorifying GOD Almighty. They are able to see the glory of GOD Almighty in King Jesus Christ. That is why King Jesus Christ arrived to earth. What to the Pharisees do at this? They are envious. This tells us who the Pharisees serve. They serve the earthly perspective at that time. GOD Almighty was showing them through King Jesus Christ that GOD Almighty is being glorified. What does the world hate? That GOD Almighty receives the glory and worship. When individuals decide to worship GOD Almighty, there is nothing the world and idolators hate more. This is because GOD Almighty, King Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of Truth are glorified by righteous individuals. There is nothing that the world hates more. What do the Pharisees do? Do they acknowledge King Jesus Christ Messiah and say, 'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD and peace in Heaven and glory in the Highest!’ No! The Pharisees say, 'Teacher, rebuke your disciples.’ And yet being unaware, they acknowledge King Jesus Christ being teacher and rabbi. They still glorify GOD Almighty because they call King Jesus Christ teacher and rabbi. Even within their anger, hatefulness, and envy, they glorify GOD Almighty. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that King Jesus Christ is Eternal King of kings, LORD of lords, GOD of gods, and Savior.
King Jesus Christ Worships GOD Almighty
The Pharisees tell the disciples not to worship GOD Almighty. The Pharisees are saying not to worship GOD Almighty, and yet they call King Jesus Christ rabbi. They acknowledge him being rabbi but not fully acknowledge that King Jesus Christ is Messiah. There is that understanding. The Pharisees tell King Jesus Christ to rebuke His disciples. I love King Jesus Christ! He answered, “If they were silent, the very stones would cry out.” King Jesus Christ is saying that all creation is created to worship GOD Almighty. Every individual. Every created being. Everyone is going to praise GOD Almighty. That is the reason that King Jesus Christ was sent to praise and worship GOD Almighty. That is why King Jesus Christ arrived to earth and decided to humble himself from being in the Highest Heavens to be made human and take on our afflictions, troubles, and difficulties that we have been through. That is why He arrived to earth.
Even if King Jesus Christ told His disciples to be quiet, the very stones would worship GOD Almighty. Everything is meant to glorify GOD Almighty. Even the stones would glorify GOD Almighty, if He told His disciples to be quiet. Why would King Jesus Christ tell His disciples to be quiet if for that reason He was sent. King Jesus Christ was sent to glorify GOD Almighty. So we see why King Jesus Christ was sent? To worship, glorify, and extol GOD Almighty. Why was King Jesus Christ obedient to the point of the cross? To glorify GOD Almighty. Why is King Jesus Christ at the Right Hand Side of the Father and is able to rule for all eternity? Because King Jesus Christ glorified GOD Almighty.
King Jesus Christ is LORD and the Son of David
This is consistent with everything from Old Testament to New Testament. This attests to King Jesus Christ's love for us. Because even when King Jesus Christ is going through tribulation, affliction, and opposition, He glorifies GOD Almighty. He prayed, fasted, and kept faith in GOD Almighty. We read about David, the root of David, and the suffering servant that describes who King Jesus Christ was going to be similar to. King Jesus Christ accomplishes the purpose of GOD Almighty and fulfills the words of the prophets. That is just beautiful. GOD Almighty helps us have understanding with the help of the Spirit of Truth. We see that King Jesus Christ speaks the truth. But He said to them:
“How can the Christ say that He is David's son when he himself says in the Book of Psalms, 'The LORD said to my LORD, sit at my Right Hand until I make your enemies your footstool. If David calls Him LORD in the Spirit so how is He his son?’”- Luke 20: 41-44
That is a question that we have already answered. King Jesus Christ was going to arrive from the root of David. When King Jesus Christ is the son of David, David calls King Jesus Christ LORD in Psalm 110. King Jesus Christ is GOD Almighty with GOD Almighty, the Father, and the Spirit of Truth. That is why King Jesus Christ is the Messiah. We learn that the Messiah was going to arrive from the lineage of David. King Jesus Christ is similar to David. King Jesus Christ is from the tribe of Judah. King Jesus Christ is a High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek. We learn that Melchizedek means King of Righteousness in Hebrew. King Jesus Christ is the Son of GOD Almighty. King Jesus Christ is able to accomplish all those things. That is part of the suffering servant portion that He accomplished two thousand years ago approximately where He saw our afflictions. To see what are the problems of this world from His perspective. This is from the human perspective. King Jesus Christ sees the iniquity, corruption, sin, and consequences of sin from the negative emotions and worship of idols that lead to bad decisions being made. The bad decisions of practicing idolatry afflict the people of Israel. King Jesus Christ is sent to preach repentance of sin and eternal salvation. This is so that individuals can make great decisions and glorify GOD Almighty. If we glorify GOD Almighty, there are going to be great decisions being made. If we glorify GOD Almighty, GOD Almighty glorifies us. King Jesus Christ tells us about the events of the end of the ages in the Gospel.
King Jesus Christ Prophesied About the Destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D.
King Jesus Christ described that the second temple would be destroyed in 70 A.D.
“And while some were speaking of the temple how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, 'As for these things that you see there will come a day when there will not be one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”- Luke 21: 1-6
King Jesus Christ prophesied about the destruction of the second temple. With the destruction of the second temple, we know why King Jesus Christ was sent. If there was not going to be a second temple when it was destroyed in 70 A.D., who was going to fulfill that need? The ability to worship GOD Almighty required the temple. Only with the temple could they worship GOD Almighty. This described the need of the temple and the Levitical priesthood initially. We learn that there is no temple, the priests of the Levitical priesthood had become corrupted seen in the Pharisees and Saducees, and there were no atoning sacrifices because of the scattering. We learn that individuals had to live in other countries after the scattering due to judgment from GOD Almighty against sin, persecution, and wickedness. We learn that when they go to other countries, there is no temple, no organized priesthood, and no atoning sacrifices. Who is going to fulfill all these requirements in order to worship GOD Almighty? King Jesus Christ. Even when there was not going to be a temple in 70 A.D., King Jesus Christ is the proper form of worship being the eternal temple, eternal intercessor, and eternal high priest. King Jesus Christ tells the disciples and apostles so that they know the truth. What other practice or form of worship was there going to be? Only King Jesus Christ. GOD Almighty allows us to understand this. King Jesus Christ is the completion of the temple, atoning sacrifice, and high priest. King Jesus Christ is the Everlasting King of kings. King Jesus Christ prophesied that. That is what happens.
Staying Viligant in the End Times Concerning False Prophets and False Apostles
“And he said, 'See that you are not led astray for many will come in my name saying, ‘I am he and the time is at hand.’ Do not go after them. And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified for these things must first take place, but the end will not come at once.’”- Luke 21: 8-9
King Jesus Christ is saying to prepare, be vigilant, and pay attention. We need to be aware of the signs that are going to take place before the closing of the Church Age. This speaks about the beginning of the great tribulation. King Jesus Christ tells us not to be led astray because there are going to be impostors and false individuals that are going to try to deceive. The false prophets are going to make lying signs, but they are not King Jesus Christ. King Jesus Christ is arriving from the clouds. From the Highest Heavens. We are not supposed to care about the lying signs because the intention is to lead to idolatry. We are able to know that the signs of the times speak about times of difficulty. We have to be alert. We have to know what is happening. Like the fig tree, we have to know the times so that we know when it is going to give fruit. King Jesus Christ is telling us to prioritize and pay attention to the signs of the times almost 2,000 years ago. Even before the temple is destroyed, He gives us those two prophecies together so that we know that once one of them was completed the other was also going to happen. The first prophecy has already happened when the second temple was destroyed by the roman scattering in 70 A.D. King Jesus Christ is the individual who is to be worshiped. After that, we are able to understand what is going to happen in the end times knowing that there are impostors and false prophets who are trying to deceive into the practice of idol worship. This describes the times that we are living in. We learn that there have been wars and rumors of wars. We see in the news all these things happening. But King Jesus Christ says, 'Do not be terrified.’ King Jesus Christ tells us, 'Do not be anxious.’ GOD Almighty tells us in Isaiah, 'Do not be in dread.’ This is in the Old Testament about the need to have courage and not have fear.
We are not supposed to pay attention to these things to where we are afraid. The spirit of fear is not consistent with the Spirit of Truth. The Spirit of Truth allows us to be bold even when this is happening. King Jesus Christ gave us a heads up since 2,000 years ago. King Jesus Christ tells us what is going to happen at the end times. This is similar to how King Jesus Christ tells the disciples and apostles about the scattering and destruction of the second temple in 70 A.D. We are able to know based on different disciples and apostles events prior to the start of the great tribulation. GOD Almighty tells Cephas, Paul, the disciples, and apostles the events that were going to happen. We are able to know so that we have discernment concerning the times that we are living in so that we do not believe temporary lies saying these are “the greatest times”.
Persevering Amidst the End Times
We learn that there is going to be increased wickedness and is going to be similar to the times of Lot and the times of Noah. This is describing that the end times are not going to be a peaceful time, and it is not going to be a great time. It is a time of difficulty because there is grave wickedness that is happening. Wickedness is destined for judgment like we read in the times of Lot and Noah. The world is going to go through difficulties. There is going to be increased wickedness in the end times that is being reserved for judgment. We learn that it is not going to be the time of greatest prosperity, and instead it is going to be a time of great judment by GOD Almighty against the wicked for their wickedness and envy.
“There will be great earthquakes and in various places famines and pestilences.”- Luke 21: 11
We are able to see that there are a lot of earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in these times. We are seeing all these things increase in number. There are more earthquakes that have been increasing in previous times, and they keep on increasing in number each day. This has been happening for the past ten years that the earthquakes have been increasing consistently. This is something that we can compare because while there has always been earthquakes, the amount of earthquakes in the past decades has been increasing in number significantly. There has always been earthquakes, but not in the manner that they have been increasing in the past decade. Each year, they are increasing in number. You can look at the numbers and see the trend. We know that there are famines in several places around the world. There are an increasing number of pestilences and diseases that have also increased over the past decades. We are learning and seeing this in the news.
King Jesus Christ is Returning From the Clouds
“There will be terrors and great signs from Heaven.”- Luke 21: 11
The great sign of from heaven and terrors may be the sun, moon, and stars being darkened due to increased sin. We know that the greatest sign that we are to see from the Heavens is King Jesus Christ arriving from the clouds. The signs and terrors may be referring to when the sun, moon, and stars are darkened described in Revelation. We have seen solar and lunar eclipses in the past, yet the great signs and terrors may be referring to the decreased lighting of the sun, moon, and stars due to the increased sin, envy, and persecution at the end times.
Rapture, Persecution, or Persevering in the End Times Until King Jesus Christ's Return
“But before all this, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you delivering you to the synagogues and prisons. And you will be brought out before kings and governors for my name's sake.”- Luke 21: 12
For some there is persecution and for others there is the rapture. We read about the other account describing about how there would be two people in a specific place, one would be taken and the other left. This attests to the rapture. Then there is the description that for some, there would be tribulation. We are not supposed to be afraid. King Jesus Christ tells us not to be afraid. GOD Almighty provides regardless. GOD Almighty helps us persevere. GOD Almighty is the Creator of the universe. We learn that if there is persecution and they do deliver a specific believer into a synagogue or a prison, it is to bring them before kings and governors. That is for the name of King Jesus Christ. This is for the name's sake of King Jesus Christ. Either, they are going to be persecuted for the name of King Jesus Christ, or are going to give testimony so that the name of King Jesus Christ can be preached. Either manner that we look at it, GOD Almighty is glorified. King Jesus Christ is glorified. GOD Almighty protects the righteous, but even if there is persecution, the most important thing is eternal salvation. Then we read:
“This will be your opportunity to bear witness.”- Luke 21: 13
This is our oppprtunity to state our belief. Our belief is in King Jesus Christ.
“Settle it therefore in your minds not to meditate beforehand how to answer for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.”- Luke 21: 14-15
This is important because in other instances of the Scriptures, we learn that the Spirit of Truth that lives in us will help us. The Spirit of Truth helps us obey the commandments and speak wisdom. In this description, King Jesus Christ says that He will give us a mouth and wisdom. This allows us to know that GOD, the Father, King Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of Truth is the True GOD Almighty. The manner that King Jesus Christ tells us this is very factual. This is very specific. In other accounts, we learn that the Spirit of Truth will guide us to know what to say. In this account of Luke, we learn that King Jesus Christ will give us a mouth and wisdom so that none of our adversaries can withstand or contradict. All things work together for the good of the Kingdom of Heaven and righteous Christians. King Jesus Christ is going to be with us. Who lives in us? King Jesus Christ and the Spirit of Truth. That is why we are able to understand the truth, reality, and belief in King Jesus Christ. None of our adversaries can withstand or contradict because we speak truth.
“You will be delivered up by parents, brothers, and relatives, and friends, and some of you they will put to death.”-Luke 21: 16
Some individuals will be persecuted but there is the need to persevere not being afraid because the most important thing is eternal life. That is the most important thing that we have in this life. The only thing that we can take out of this life is eternal life.
“You will be hated by all for my name's sake.”- Luke 21: 17
There is no other option. Only King Jesus Christ gives eternal salvation. When we leave this earth, there is either eternal salvation or no eternal salvation. So eternal salvation it is. We learn that the name of King Jesus Christ will not be looked upon with kindness, love, and goodness. Wicked individuals will not like the name of King Jesus Christ because the name of King Jesus Christ reminds them of GOD Almighty. And we remind them of King Jesus Christ. This tells us a lot. Paul tells us that the workings of the flesh are hostile to the things of GOD Almighty. The workings of the flesh are hostile to the worship of GOD Almighty. Whoever is hostile to the name of King Jesus Christ is because they do not understand the reality and do not understand that King Jesus Christ along with GOD, the Father, and the Spirit of Truth is GOD Almighty. Or they do understand that, and choose to rebel. They choose to rebel. There may be envy, yet even if we are hated for the name sake of King Jesus Christ, we are not supposed to fear because King Jesus Christ has already told us this. We know that we are not supposed to fear because there is favor and blessings even amidst persecution. Even when they hate us for King Jesus Christ's name sake, we have favor and blessings. We go through envy and tribulation similar to what King Jesus Christ, the disciples, and apostles have gone through being slandered and envied for believing in GOD Almighty. That is why we have blessings in Heaven. Cephas says that the Spirit of the LORD is in you when there is slander or evil words spoken against you for the name of King Jesus Christ. King Jesus Christ says blessed are you when you are persecuted for righteousness' sake.
