Within they are full of extortion and excess

My question to you is are you in control? Are you a servant of the Lord or a servant of mankind and the sinful process and ways of the world. 

 

Now I've looked at history being Biblical history and took a few quote notes. I had a few questions that I wanted answered and sort of elaborated from there. 

 

The Captivity in Babylon. Seems extreme towards Jews. Why?

 

"Significance in Jewish history in the Hebrew Bible, the captivity in Babylon is presented as a punishment for idolatry and disobedience to Yahweh in a similar way to the presentation of Israelite slavery in Egypt followed by deliverance." 

 

 

"The Babylonian captivity or Babylonian exile is the period in Jewish history during which a number of people from the ancient Kingdom of Judah were captives in Babylon, the capital of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Wikipedia: Start date: March 16, 597 BC 

End date: 538 BC" 

 

 A pagan King. What! Kings Nebuchadnezzar !

 

"Yes, He was God's servant, a minister of His wrath to bring judgement to a backslidden nation, Judah that refused to return. Back in the days of Elijah, Israel/the northern kingdom had left to worship the true God and slid to idolatory. The land was full of corruption and Elijah had step on the scene with the word of God. The people and their king had slid-den to a perpetual backslidden condition. They rejected correction. What did Elijah tell Elisha:" 

 

I find this next question extremely interesting given the nature of Harold the king. 

 

Why did Herod want to build a Temple? What would it mean to him? ((The agenda of man.))

 

"The Temple in Jerusalem was the symbolic and, in a sense, political heart of the country.... But by building the Temple, Herod established a residence with Jewish history.... By rebuilding the Temple ... refurbishing it ... making it enormous and really one of the architectural marvels of the ancient world, he not only increased enormously the religious prestige of Judaism, but , if political history is in a sense the history of real estate development, he enabled Judea to have a positive balance of trade. Jerusalem, then as now, was one of the major centers of tourism. Not only Jewish tourism, but gentiles as well would come up to Jerusalem.... The way to think of the Temple with Herod's vision, is to think almost of an airport as much as a of a church or something like that. He created architecturally, a space that could accommodate an enormous number of pilgrims and tourists and interested others. And by doing this, he made a statement. Not only about his own country, but about the God of Israel." 

 

So in my writing research I looked at these Kings being Nebuchadnezzar and King Harold the King of Judea. The king's appointed by God. Or we could say the Servants of the Lord. "I" also looked at the extent of the Roman Empire and its power, prestige and how it grew. I looked at Pontius Pilate. You and "I" learn and come to  understand the nature of God in conjunction with mankind when one can make sense of this information. I had a brief look at the Exile of the Jewish people. Why would God punish them? One of the major problems was idolatry. Ever hear the saying history proves the Bible. History sometimes repeats it’s self. It reinforces the bible too in a sense. Archeology also reinforces the Bible. I studied Pontius Pilate before and find him very interesting. He was a Roman procurator  

 

"Pontius Pilate was the fifth governor of the Roman province of Judaea, serving under Emperor Tiberius from the year 26/27 to 36/37. He is best known today for being the official who presided over the trial of Jesus and ordered his crucifixion." 

 

“While the typical term for a Roman prefect was one to three years,  Pilate was to hold his post as the fifth Roman procurator for 10 years. ... As a Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate was granted the power of a supreme judge, which meant that he had the sole authority to order a criminal's execution. 4, 2, 2014” 

 

A FALL BEING SO GREAT

 

And in all of this we have that great life question why God allow Satan to rule this world. But in all of this there is another great preponderant delusional disheartened coherence flawed thinking of mankind that God is in control while man is out of control. There are those that follow the gospel and say that they are in control because they obey the word of God but others that make it to null effect. As one chap said that there are those who have selective hearing. I mean you can preach the gospel to the deceived and they could say they are true believers when they are not. In other words such stubborn people have selective hearing. Even when you correct them. Why? God tells us why in the word of God. He says they are reprobates and he gave them over to a depraved mind because they serve more the creature than the true God who is blessed forever. In other words they put bad for good. And in my own thoughts I think they are worse than Adam and Eve. Such people wholeheartedly disobey their own creator. Even I had a friend who said relax God is in control. Particularly this friend would consistently bash down people. I didn't see the fruits of the Gospel in him. What I'm talking about a truly converted person where change is obvious in what is known as a born again Christian. Sure God is perfect & holy and he's a spirit and in control. What are you out of control and are you full of sin and inequity. The Lord Jesus Christ said that narrow is the way that leads to life and broad is the way that leads to destruction. (REMAIN CONNECTED) to the true vein the lord Jesus Christ) God turned the vein. Faith!!! 

 

Matthew 23:25 King James Version 

"25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess." 

 

Jesus said that in Matthew 23:25. He also stated that God knows men's hearts. That means he could read the minds and thoughts of men and women. Could you imagine God knows every thought you think. Do you really love him with all your heart, mind and soul or is it the filth of this world that you really love. Have you truly believed the gospel and are you saved? Are you a servant of the Lord or a servant of the devil? Are you within full of all extortion and excess?

FOOTNOTES:

 

There is a refusal to put the faith in his ways instead of mans whom are flawed. The hard to believe or accept part is why in this way? Because there was fall so great and what the creator/God is doing he knows. You must trust him in faith. Our way being the broad way is never the way and yes they have turned the house of prayer into a den of thief. John 2:16

 

Now it’s God (His spirit/comforter) whom tells us/teaches us all things as "true" believers but we can see the fruits of darkness when he teaches us. We have to acknowledge the truth and be sanctified by it.  Man is on the Highway to Hell as fast as you can go.  As we know in Revelation there will be a war so devastating that man almost wipes himself out.  Somehow God will intervene. Pray often.

Hypocrites who shut the door to the kingdom of heaven in peoples faces

Warning: We reap what we sow. 

8.44 am November 13th 2020 & concluded at 2.44 pm same day 

  

We are not to be complainers as Christians. We are to rejoice in persecution as it is written. Life has its good and bad. We are not to complain nor to hate each other. Pray for each other. 

  

Now concerning the hard times ahead of us. Who has your vote? Is it the risen Lord Jesus Christ and are you doing the will of God or are we/you doing your own will or the world's evil will. 

 
 

Recently there's a lot of talk about democracy. What is a democracy and what affects it taking it off course of not being one. I've heard talk about Democratic socialism in the United States. Recently there are reported problem with the voting in the United States and the absentee ballots that have been reported in the media that were in suitcases in some storage is very troublesome and a little bit mind-boggling. There's been reports on Fox News where they say that the Trump Administration/Campaign party has sworn affidavits or testimony from people and claim there has been voter fraud in the United States elections. Some might be even election officials. This is puzzling troublesome. It is troublesome because how could the general public trust such a system any longer? During George W. Bush they had a situation that was also reported and prevalent. That was the Florida recount and hanging Chads particularly 2000. 

 
 

1 Corinthians 10:10, KJV: "Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer." ... 1 Corinthians 10:10, NLT: "And don't grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death." 

 
 

Ellicotts commentary for English readers 

 
 

"10) Neither murmur ye.--The reference here is to Numbers 16:41-47, and the historical event alluded to--viz., the murmuring of the Israelites against their God-given leaders, Moses and Aaron--is analogous to the murmuring of the Corinthians against their Apostle, St. Paul. It is noticeable that St. Paul attributes the death of the people to the Destroyer--i.e., God's messenger sent to destroy--while in Numbers they are said to have perished by the "plague." Every pestilence that swept over nations to purify them was a messenger from God. Thus in Psalm 78:50 God is said to give "their life over to the pestilence," which in Exodus 12:23 is spoken of as "the destroyer." 

 
 

We reap what we sow. we will be accountable before God. For many its a God they don't know or that God that they deny.  Maybe the God they are the enemy of. You know a Christian sister once said for example forgive those people because they don't know what they do as they have demons deceiving them. Just talking about people that don't know the Lord and are "greatly" deceived. I said who God sends to hell! Is it a demon or the person? 

 
 

Are we murmuring against God? Are we murmuring against our Lord Jesus Christ? We have to forgive others and rejoice. But we should take up our cross daily. You might not "all" be able to "at times" because of various circumstances that don't give access then put it in the hands of the Lord and trust/be patient. You have to remember that the Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the Sheep. He is the head of his congregation being his fold. He himself said he has two folds and they will become one. Stop blaming each other and start loving each other. Pray for each other daily and embrace each other's weaknesses. That is to say to lift each other up and stop condemning each other. As written even angels don't bring railing accusations. Be strong in the Lord. Trust in the Lord and praise His holy name daily. The Lord is risen. Amen

 
 

In conclusion ... the conundrum is are we calling evil good and good evil. Are we placing our trust in the Lord or are we a friend of the world (James 4.4) and an enemy of the true Living God. 2.55 pm today.

 
 

As written and entitled "Warning from Israel's past". 

 
 

"9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes. 10 And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel. 11 Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come".

8.44 am November 13th 2020 & concluded at 2.44 pm same day 

Foot notes:

We should not be ignorant nor murmur against Christ nor put him to the test. Pray for your leaders including spiritual leaders. Man is tempted at times but God has provided a way out. God is faithful. Be nor ignorant nor prideful lest man falls. Obey the lord and do his WILL. Pick up your cross and pray often.

Revelation 21.8

⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

 All liars will have "their" part in the lake of fire

You know I heard Tucker Carlson's report. The Lord Jesus Christ made many people angry you see as he never caved in to what people wanted to hear. Seems to me that some things should be left for a courtroom and to prove it there. Trial by media is never the way. Somebody can give you an example of what may have occurred. They might be trying to bring it to the attention of the public especially in this day and age when voter fraud is rampant and very real. Now people have their reasons why they might not like a candidate. But it appears to me that there is evidence that something did occur. I don't like the idea of a machine being electronic that has the capability to do what was described. How could you certify on reasoning when there is such doubt. Obviously with everything occurring in society including the Corona-virus and all that the stress of riots and hardships this is a big deal. Just look at all the reporting for instance on abortions yet millions of babies are slaughtered regardless every year as reported. Who cares? GOD! “Christ” 

It would be nice if this could be resolved and not swept under the rug. Especially when it's going to affect future voting processes.
