Wed, 16 May 2012 15:37:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Jay http://tsiyon.org/kingdom_curses/#comment-6769 Jay Thu, 08 Mar 2012 02:38:40 +0000 http://tsiyon.org/kingdom_curses/#comment-6769 In chapters 22 and 23 of Matthew the confrontation between the religious leaders and Yeshua continues. Chapter 22 opens with the parable of the Marriage Feast in which those first invited to the marriage feast of his son not only refuse to come but also make light of the invitation and mistreat the messenger sent to call them; the king, however, then sends out his armies to destroy them and sends other servants out to bring guests where ever they are found, finally, however, casting out a guest who came without being properly attired. The various parties of the religious leaders, the Herodians, the Sadducees and the Pharisees, try to trap Yeshua by asking questions; but He bests them effortlessly, thereby putting their incompetence on display before all those assembled in the Temple. Particularly, telling was Yeshua's answer to the question of what is the greatest commandment. He bested Hillel, who was considered to be by far the greatest teacher of Torah that had ever been; Hillel had responded to this question by saying that one should not do unto others that which is hateful to oneself. In so doing, however, he first totally left out the commandment to love God with all our being - a commandment which an observant Jew would have repeated twice daily, as it is a part of the Schma, and then by basically saying that one should simply leave one's neighbour in peace, he left out the commandment to actively do good to one's neighbour, since Leviticus 19:18 say that we are to love our neighbour as we love ourself. Yeshua's victory is then crowned by His proof from Scripture that the Messiah is more than (merely) the Son of David, since David calls Him Lord. Chapter 23 is a condemnation and pronunciation of curses upon the Scribes and Pharisees, climaxing in the statement that all the righteous blood which had been spilt from the Abel onward would be demanded of that generation, concluding with the mournful statement of how Yeshua would have gathered the children of Jerusalem together as a mother hen does her chicks, but they would not ... Of importance to note here further is that in the first temple, there was the Shekinah glory of God that appeared there once each year. With the second temple that was not true; however, the glory of that temple was greater for the Messiah Himself visited that temple. Nonetheless, after these things, Yeshua left the temple never to return to it and said that they would see Him no more until they would say, "blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord" - which is an allusion to Psalm 118 and with which He was greeted upon His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The lesson concludes that those curses follow the unbelieving Israelites up to this day. Every Israelite has to choose whether to accept or to reject Yeshua as that which He was/is - the Messiah. God be praised for the teaching of His Word! In chapters 22 and 23 of Matthew the confrontation between the religious leaders and Yeshua continues.

One that interested me was the definition of hypocrites as actors and how that was viewed in that time period. Sometimes I forget that things back then are really not that different than today. Another powerful revelation was how Yeshua as King was using his authority to pronouce curses to the unbelievers. This is really enlightening as to why things are the way they are. The most powerful revelation was how Yeshua was the glory of the temple standing right in it. I'm sure I'll understand the scriptures more fully and in a new light because of these revelations.

Growing up and learning about Him, He was always the Son of God, our Savior, our Redeemer. In Revelation He comes back as King of kings and Lord of lords. While He was on this earth I never really thought of Him as King with an active Kingdom. That's probably because I didn't understand what the Kingdom of Heaven was. Nobody in my Christian circle had a good answer to the question, "What is the Kingdom of Heaven"? I never heard a real teaching on the that question. I was in a Bible study once that tried to tackle that question but could only come up with some spiritualization of Romans 14:17 "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit". Once I started thinking Hebraically and learned that Yeshua was the Heir to the Throne of Israel and was the rightful King of Israel as a man, this teaching makes sense. These parables He speaks to the Pharisees, and the others who were trying to entrap Him, make more sense. Thanks also for reminding me that Yeshua was a man in every sense and yet He had no fear. He knew He had the power to call upon His Father at any moment and YHWH would send 12 legions of angels (Matthew 26:53), but He didn't. He stood up to these people and told them like it was even though He knew that they would be the ones to kill Him in a few days. His judgements on the unbelieving house of Israel for their rejection of Him as Messiah and King of Israel are sobering. My question (that I've had for sometime) remains without any reasonable or sane answer, "why would anyone not want to believe in Him?".

The wages of sin is death. To remain unrepentant brings judgment as is described in this program. It is sad that so many will die in their sin. A prayer that our family and friends will not ignore the call of our Messiah. Yah does not take pleasure in the death of the wicked. The wages of sin is death.

Impress this on your mind, don’t let it get bored!
Yeshua is the answer, to what is ailing us,
let Him open your mind, garnering His trust!
It is not fair you see, it is kind of sad you see,
that they, chose not to believe, in His Way!
The love of God from above, searching hearts,
cold hearted religon, leaving doubts!
Seperation, as only Yeshua can acheive,
your wedding invitation, planning to recieve?
Correct clothing will be required,

Yeshua corrected teacher, Hillel,
who is to correct, present day pastors, do tell?
It is more,than just belief in Yeshua,
obedience is the key,
even the demons believe in Yeshua,
what about workers of iniquity?
Much wisdom to learn, from parables Yeshua spoke!
Today’s religous leaders, are harnessed in a yoke!
They can’t understand, what is being said,

“Woe to you”, to those who choose not to hear,
The Words of the prophets are spoke for our ears!
It is time to realize, the Words , God has sent,
return to the Word, believe and repent!

I can see how the curses have followed the Jews and Israel from generation to generation when they refuse to accept Yeshua as their Messiah. We are at that crossroads again when the wheat are being separated from the chaff. Thank you for making these parables alive and real as never before.

Hillel being an example, who didn't really know the Torah at all. They just want to to follow their own path. & many people followed Hillel and these corrupted leaders. Yeshua wanted these people to repent and to protect them. & these people were unwilling to repent. How amazing that it was the sinners(including tax collectors & prostitute)who repented and was able to enter into the Kingdom & the self righteous religious leaders were unrepentant & closed to the truth. I think it is amazing that the Glory of (Yahweh) was standing in human form in the 2nd temple in front of many people. How could anyone miss that & not recognize Him. I am also understanding the parables better. (more enlightenment) Thank U. How sad that we have many leaders today as well as in the past, who do do not have eyes to see, and ears to hear.
