Matthew 21:33 Heare another parable, There was a certaine housholder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and made a winepresse therein, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey.
21:34 And when the time of the fruite drewe neere, hee sent his seruants to the husbandmen to receiue the fruites thereof.
21:35 And ye husbandmen tooke his seruants and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
21:36 Againe hee sent other seruants, moe then the first: and they did the like vnto them.
21:37 But last of all he sent vnto them his owne sonne, saying, They will reuerence my sonne.
21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the sonne, they saide among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and let vs take his inheritance.
21:39 So they tooke him, and cast him out of the vineyarde, and slewe him.
21:40 When therefore the Lord of the vineyarde shall come, what will hee doe to those husbandmen?
21:41 They saide vnto him, Hee will cruelly destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard vnto other husbandmen, which shall deliuer him the fruites in their seasons.
21:42 Iesus saide vnto them, Read ye neuer in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders refused, the same is made the head of the corner? This was the Lordes doing, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
21:43 Therefore say I vnto you, The kingdome of God shalbe taken from you, and shalbe giuen to a nation, which shall bring foorth the fruites thereof.
21:44 And whosoeuer shall fall on this stone, he shalbe broken: but on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will dash him a pieces.
21:45 And when the chiefe Priestes and Pharises had heard his parables, they perceiued that hee spake of them.
21:46 And they seeking to laye handes on him, feared the people, because they tooke him as a Prophet.
The vineyard is what? Israel.
The husbandmen are the Jews the rulers.
The Son is Jesus Christ.
Jesus asks them plainly, when the owner of the vineyard comes what will He do to the those husbandmen. Reread it. Matthew 21:39 So they tooke him (Jesus), and cast him out of the vineyarde (Israel), and slewe him(Mt of Olives outside the city)
21:40 When therefore the Lord of the vineyarde (God) shall come, what will hee doe to those husbandmen(Jews)?
21:41 They saide vnto him, HEE WILL CRUELLY DESTROY THOSE WICKED MEN (unbelieving Jews), and will let out his vineyard (Israel) vnto other husbandmen (144,000 all of Israel shall be saved), which shall deliuer him the fruites in their seasons.
~~~Revelation 14:1 I looked, and lo, a Lambe stood on mount Sion, and with him an hundreth, fourtie and foure thousand, hauing his Fathers Name written in their foreheads.
14:2 And I heard a voyce from heauen, as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of a great thunder: and I heard the voyce of harpers harping with their harpes.
14:3 And they sung as it were a newe song before the throne, and before the foure beasts, and the Elders: and no man could learne that song, but the hundreth, fourtie and foure thousand, which were bought from the earth.
14:4 These are they, which are not defiled with women: for they are virgins: these follow the Lambe whithersoeuer he goeth: these are bought from men, being the first fruites vnto God, and to the Lambe.
14:5 And in their mouthes was found no guile: for they are without spot before the throne of God.~~~
Continue;
Matthew 21:42 Iesus saide vnto them, Read ye neuer in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders refused, the same is made the head of the corner? This was the Lordes doing, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
21:43 Therefore say I vnto you, The kingdome of God shalbe TAKEN FROM YOU, and SHALBE GIUEN TO A NATION, WHICH SHALL BRING FOORTH THE FRUITES THEREOF.
21:44 And whosoeuer shall fall on this stone, he shalbe broken: but on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will dash him a pieces.
The Pharisees and Sadducees knew He was talking about them. How? Scripture!
Isaiah
5:7 Surely the vineyard of the Lord of hostes is the house of Israel, and the men of Iudah are his pleasant plant, and hee looked for iudgement, but beholde oppression: for righteousnesse, but beholde a crying.
So AFTER JESUS IS PUT TO DEATH, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS TAKEN FROM THEM. WHO? THE JEWS! THE NATURAL BRANCH. AND GIVEN TO THE SPIRITUAL BRANCH!
John 15:1 I Am that true vine, and my Father is that husband man.
15:2 Euery branch that beareth not fruite in me, he taketh away: and euery one that beareth fruite, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruite.
15:3 Nowe are ye cleane through the worde, which I haue spoken vnto you.
15:4 Abide in me, and I in you: as the branche cannot beare fruite of it selfe, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
15:5 I am that vine: ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruite: for without me can ye doe nothing.
15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branche, and withereth: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they burne.
15:7 If ye abide in me, and my wordes abide in you, aske what ye wil, and it shalbe done to you.
15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye beare much fruite, and be made my disciples.
Matthew
8:5 When Iesus was entred into Capernaum, there came vnto him a Centurion, beseeching him,
8:6 And saide, Master, my seruant lieth sicke at home of the palsie, and is grieuously pained.
8:7 And Iesus saide vnto him, I will come and heale him.
8:8 But the Centurion answered, saying, Master, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come vnder my roofe: but speake the worde onely, and my seruant shall be healed.
8:9 For I am a man also vnder the authoritie of an other, and haue souldiers vnder me: and I say to one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it.
8:10 When Iesus heard that, he marueiled, and said to them that folowed him, Verely, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, euen in Israel.
8:11 But I say vnto you, that many shall come from the East and West, and shall sit downe with Abraham, and Isaac, and Iacob, in the kingdome of heauen.
8:12 And the children of the kingdome shall be cast out into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth.
8:13 Then Iesus saide vnto the Centurion, Goe thy way, and as thou hast beleeued, so be it vnto thee, And his seruant was healed the same houre.
Jesus had not seen that kind of faith the ROMAN CENTURIAN HAD IN ALL OF ISRAEL!
Who are the children of the kingdom?
~The Jews~ What is going to happen to the unbelieving Jews? Cast out into outer darkness!
Romans 2:25 For circucision verely is profitable, if thou do the Lawe: but if thou be a transgressour of the Lawe, thy circumcision is made vncircumcision.
2:26 Therefore if the vncircumcision keepe the ordinances of the Lawe, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
2:27 And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature (if it keepe the Lawe) condemne thee which by the letter and circumcision art a transgressour of the Lawe?
2:28 For hee is not a Iewe, which is one outwarde: neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
2:29 But he is a Iewe which is one within, and the circumcision is of the heart, in the spirite not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Being a Jew (circumcision) only profits you if you keep the law. But if they did not keep the law they were considered vncircumcision. So, if a person who was uncircumcised kept the law it would be as if he was circumcised. For hee is not a Iewe, which is one outwarde: neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Iewe which is one within, and the circumcision is of the heart, in the spirite not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God. So, who is a Jew according to God? The one who is circumcised inwardly in the heart, not outwardly.
Lets go further in Scripture. Galatians
4:21 Tell me, ye that will be vnder the Law, doe ye not heare the Lawe?
4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, one by a seruant (Ishmeal) and one by a free woman(Issac).
4:23 But he which was of the seruant, was borne after the flesh: and he which was of the free woman, was borne by promise.
4:24 By the WHICH THINGS ANOTHER THING IS MEANT: for THESE MOTHERS ARE THE TWO TESTAMENTS, the one which is Agar of mount Sina, (POINTING TO THE LAW, EARTHLY JERUSALEM OLD TESTAMENT) which gendreth vnto bondage.
4:25 (For Agar or Sina is a mountaine in Arabia, and it ANSWERED TO HIERUSALEM WHICH NOWE IS) and she is in bondage with her children. (WHOSE IN BONDAGE? THE JEWS!)
4:26 But HIERUSALEM, WHICH IS ABOUE, (HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, GRACE NEW TESTAMENT) IS FREE: WHICH IS THE MOTHER OF VS ALL.(WHO IS FREE? THE CHURCH THE BODY OF CHRIST)
4:27 For it is written, Reioyce thou barren that bearest no children: breake forth, and cry, thou that trauailest not: for the desolate hath many moe children, then she which hath an husband.
4:28 Therefore, brethren, WEE (THE CHURCH THE BODY OF CHRIST) ARE AFTER THE MANER OF ISAAC, CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE. (THROUGH JESUS CHRIST THE PROMISED. SEED)
4:29 BUT AS THEN (IN THE NATURAL, BUT NOW SPIRITUALLY ) HEE THAT WAS BORNE AFTER THE FLESH,(ISRAEL) PERSECUTED HIM THAT WAS BORNE AFTER THE SPIRIT,(THE CHURCH THE BODY OF CHRIST)EUEN SO IT IS NOWE.
4:30 But what sayth the Scripture? Put out the seruant and her sonne: for the sonne of the seruant shall not be heire with the sonne of the free woman.
4:31 Then brethren, we (the Church) are not children of the seruant, (earthly Jerusalem) but of the free woman.(Heavenly Jerusalem)
Read Scripture as it is written not as you have been taught.
Hebrews
12:18 For ye are not come vnto the mount that might be touched, nor vnto burning fire, nor to blacknes and darkenes, and tempest,
12:19 Neither vnto the sounde of a trumpet, and the voyce of wordes, which they that heard it, excused themselues, that the word should not be spoken to them any more,
12:20 (For they were not able to abide that which was commanded, yea, though a beast touche the mountaine, it shalbe stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
12:21 And so terrible was the sight which appeared, that Moses said, I feare and quake.)
12:22 But ye are come vnto the mount Sion, and to the citie of the liuing God, the CELSTIALL HIERUSALEM, and to ye company of innumerable Angels,
12:23 And to the assemblie and congregation of the first borne, which are written in heauen, and to God the iudge of all, and to the spirits of iust and perfite men,
12:24 And to Iesus the Mediatour of the new Testament, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things then that of Abel.
12:25 See that ye despise not him that speaketh: for if they escaped not which refused him, that spake on earth: much more shall we not escape, if we turne away from him, that speaketh from heauen.
So, which Jerusalem in Sion/Zion, and is the City of the Living God? Earthly Jerusalem? Or Heavenly Jerusalem? And who lives in that Jerusalem? Unbelieving antichrist Jews? Or God, Jesus Christ, innumerable Angels, and just and perfect born again believers? In case you are still on the fence read the following verses below.
Revelation
21:1 And I sawe a newe heauen, and a newe earth: for the first heauen, and the first earth were passed away, and there was no more sea.
21:2 And I Iohn sawe the holie citie newe Hierusalem come downe from God out of heauen, prepared as a bride trimmed for her husband.
21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heauen, saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them: and they shalbe his people, and God himselfe shalbe their God with them.
21:4 And God shall wipe away all teares from their eyes: and there shalbe no more death, neither sorow, neither crying, neither shall there be any more paine: for the first things are passed.
21:5 And he that sate vpon the throne, sayd, Behold, I make all things newe: and he sayde vnto me, Write: for these wordes are faithfull and true.
21:6 And he said vnto me, It is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ende. I wil giue to him that is a thirst, of the well of the water of life freely.
21:7 He that ouercommeth, shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my sonne.
21:8 But the fearful and vnbeleeuing, and the abominable and murtherers, and whoremogers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall haue their part in the lake, which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
Galatians
3:16 Nowe to Abraham and his seede were the promises made. Hee saith not, And to the seedes, as speaking of many: but, And to thy seede, as of one, which is Christ.
3:17 And this I say, that the couenant that was confirmed afore of God in respect of Christ, the Lawe which was foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres after, can not disanull, that it shoulde make the promise of none effect.
3:18 For if the inheritance be of the Lawe, it is no more by the promise, but God gaue it freely vnto Abraham by promise.
3:19 Wherefore then serueth the Law? It was added because of the transgressions, til the seed came, vnto the which the promise was made: and it was ordeined by Angels in the hande of a Mediatour.
3:20 Nowe a Mediatour is not a Mediatour of one: but God is one.
3:26 For ye are al the sonnes of God by faith, in Christ Iesus.
3:27 For all ye that are baptized into Christ, haue put on Christ.
3:28 There is neither Iewe nor Grecian: there is neither bonde nor free: there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Iesus.
3:29 And if ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heires by promise.
So who is the true promised Seed of Abraham, Jesus is. If you are in Christ Jesus then you are Abrahams seed and heirs by promise. There is no longer Jew or Grecian/Gentile, bond or free, male or female for are ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS!!! The ONLY BLOOD THAT MATTERS IS THE SHED BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!!!
Hosea
11:1 When Israel was a childe, then I loued him, and called my sonne out of Egypt.
Matthew
2:14 So he arose and tooke the babe and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
2:15 And was there vnto the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, Out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.
So Who is TRUE ISRAEL? JESUS CHRIST IS!!! When ISRAEL WAS A CHILD THEN I LOVED HIM AND CALLED MY SON OUT OF EYGPT! WE ARE TOLD IN MATTHEW THAT WAS A PROPHECY ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!
Romans
11:1 I Demaund then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid: for I also am an Israelite, of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.
11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Know ye not what the Scripture sayth of Elias, howe hee communeth with God against Israel, saying,
11:3 Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine altars: and I am left alone, and they seeke my life?
11:4 But what saith the answere of God to him? I haue reserued vnto my selfe seuen thousand men, which haue not bowed the knee to Baal.
11:5 Euen so then at this present time is there a remnant according to the election of grace.
11:6 And if it be of grace, it is no more of workes: or els were grace no more grace: but if it be of workes, it is no more grace: or els were worke no more worke.
11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that he sought: but the election hath obteined it, and the rest haue bene hardened,
11:8 According as it is written, God hath giuen them the spirit of slumber: eyes that they should not see, and eares that they should not heare vnto this day.
11:9 And Dauid sayth, Let their table be made a snare, and a net, and a stumbling blocke, euen for a recompence vnto them.
11:10 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not, and bowe downe their backe alwayes.
11:11 I demaund then, Haue they stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid: but through their fall, saluation commeth vnto the Gentiles, to prouoke them to follow them.
11:12 Wherefore if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their aboundance be?
11:13 For in that I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of ye Gentiles, I magnifie mine office,
11:14 To trie if by any meanes I might prouoke them of my flesh to follow them, and might saue some of them.
11:15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiuing be, but life from the dead?
11:16 For if the first fruites be holy, so is the whole lumpe: and if the roote be holy, so are the branches.
11:17 And though some of the branches be broken off, and thou being a wilde Oliue tree, wast graft in for them, and made partaker of the roote, and fatnesse of the Oliue tree.
11:18 Boast not thy selfe against the branches: and if thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee.
11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches are broken off, that I might be graft in.
11:20 Well: through vnbeliefe they are broken off, and thou standest by faith: bee not hie minded, but feare.
11:21 For if God spared not the naturall branches, take heede, least he also spare not thee.
11:22 Beholde therefore the bountifulnesse, and seueritie of God: towarde them which haue fallen, seueritie: but toward thee, bountifulnesse, if thou continue in his bountifulnesse: or els thou shalt also be cut off.
11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.
11:24 For if thou wast cut out of the Oliue tree, which was wilde by nature, and wast graffed contrary to nature in a right Oliue tree, how much more shall they that are by nature, bee graffed in their owne Oliue tree?
11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret (least ye should bee arrogant in your selues) that partly obstinacie is come to Israel, vntill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in.
11:26 And so all Israel shalbe saued, as it is written, The deliuerer shall come out of Sion, and shall turne away the vngodlinesse from Iacob.
11:27 And this is my couenant to them, When I shall take away their sinnes.
11:28 As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloued for the fathers sakes.
11:29 For the giftes and calling of God are without repentance.
11:30 For euen as yee in times past haue not beleeued God, yet haue nowe obteined mercie through their vnbeliefe:
11:31 Euen so nowe haue they not beleeued by the mercie shewed vnto you, that they also may obtaine mercie.
11:32 For God hath shut vp all in vnbeliefe, that he might haue mercie on all.
11:33 O the deepenesse of the riches, both of the wisdome, and knowledge of God! howe vnsearcheable are his iudgements, and his wayes past finding out!
The “all of Israel, the Elect, the Remnant” was SAVED THE 144,000 12,000 FROM EACH 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL ALL OF ISRAEL!
Colossians 3:11 Where is neither Grecian nor Iewe, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: But Christ is all, and in all things.
Galatians 4:1 Then I say, that the heire as long as hee is a childe, differeth nothing from a seruant, though he be Lord of all,
4:2 But is vnder tutours and gouernours, vntil the time appointed of the Father.
4:3 Euen so, we when wee were children, were in bondage vnder the rudiments of the world.
4:4 But when the fulnesse of time was come, God sent forth his Sonne made of a woman, and made vnder the Lawe,
4:5 That hee might redeeme them which were vnder the Law, that we might receiue the adoption of the sonnes.
4:6 And because ye are sonnes, God hath sent foorth the Spirit of his Sonne into your heartes, which crieth, Abba, Father.
4:7 Wherefore, thou art no more a seruant, but a sonne: now if thou be a sone, thou art also the heire of God through Christ.
Romans 8:10 And if Christ bee in you, the body is dead, because of sinne: but the Spirite is life for righteousnesse sake.
8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised vp Iesus from the dead, dwell in you, he that raised vp Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortall bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
8:12 Therefore brethren, wee are detters not to the flesh, to liue after the flesh:
8:13 For if ye liue after the flesh, ye shall die: but if yee mortifie the deedes of the body by the Spirit, ye shall liue.
8:14 For as many as are ledde by the Spirit of God, they are the sonnes of God.
8:15 For ye haue not receiued the Spirit of bodage, to feare againe: but ye haue receiued the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father.
8:16 The same Spirit beareth witnesse with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
8:17 If we be children, we are also heires, euen the heires of God, and heires annexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
8:18 For I count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vnto vs.
8:19 For the feruent desire of the creature waiteth when the sonnes of God shalbe reueiled,
Matthew
23:29 Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye build the tombes of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
23:30 And say, If we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we would not haue bene partners with them in the blood of the Prophets.
23:31 So then ye be witnesses vnto your selues, that ye are the children of them that murthered the Prophets.
23:32 Fulfill ye also ye measure of your fathers.
23:33 O serpents, the generation of vipers, howe should ye escape the damnation of hell!
23:34 Wherefore beholde, I send vnto you Prophets, and wise men, and Scribes, and of them ye shall kill and crucifie: and of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from citie to citie,
23:35 That vpon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed vpon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, vnto the blood of Zacharias the sonne of Barachias, whome ye slewe betweene the Temple and the altar.
23:36 Verely I say vnto you, all these things shall come vpon this generation.
23:37 Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee, how often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her chickins vnder her wings, and ye would not!
23:38 Beholde, your habitation shalbe left vnto you desolate,
23:39 For I say vnto you, ye shall not see mee henceforth till that ye say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
~Who is Jesus directly speaking to?~ The Scribes and Pharises the Religious Rulers of the Jews.
How did the fill the measure of their fathers? Killing the Son of God Jesus Christ!
Who will be accountable for all the bloodshed of the prophets and servants of God? The Jews Whose habitation/Temple does Jesus now say it belongs to? The Scribes, Pharises Jews, no longer does He call it Gods Temple.
~The following is the prophecy of who Jerusalem is and how that destruction will take place.~
Revelation
18:1 And after these thinges, I sawe another Angel come downe from heauen, hauing great power, so that the earth was lightened with his glorie,
18:2 And he cryed out mightily with a loud voyce, saying, It is fallen, it is fallen, Babylon that great citie, and is become the habitation of deuils, and the holde of all foule spirits, and a cage of euery vncleane and hatefull birde.
18:3 For all nations haue drunken of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the Kings of the earth haue committed fornication with her, and the marchants of the earth are waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures.
18:4 And I heard another voyce from heauen say, Goe out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sinnes, and that ye receiue not of her plagues.
18:5 For her sinnes are come vp into heauen, and God hath remembred her iniquities.
18:6 Rewarde her, euen as she hath rewarded you, and giue her double according to her workes: and in the cup that she hath filled to you, fill her ye double.
18:7 In as much as she glorified her selfe, and liued in pleasure, so much giue ye to her torment and sorow: for she saith in her heart, I sit being a queene, and am no widowe, and shall see no mourning.
18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come at one day, death, and sorowe, and famine, and she shalbe burnt with fire: for that God which condemneth her, is a strong Lord.
18:9 And the kings of the earth shall bewayle her, and lament for her, which haue committed fornication, and liued in pleasure with her, when they shall see that smoke of that her burning,
18:10 And shall stand a farre off for feare of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great citie Babylon, that mightie citie: for in one houre is thy iudgement come.
18:11 And the marchants of the earth shall weepe and wayle ouer her: for no man byeth their ware any more.
18:12 The ware of golde, and siluer, and of precious stone, and of pearles, and of fine linnen, and of purple, and of silke, and of skarlet, and of all maner of Thyne wood, and of all vessels of yuorie, and of all vessels of most precious wood, and of brasse, and of yron, and of marble,
18:13 And of cinamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oyle, and fine floure, and wheate, and beastes, and sheepe, and horses, and charets, and seruants, and soules of men.
18:14 (And the apples that thy soule lusted after, are departed from thee, and all things which were fatte and excellent, are departed from thee, and thou shalt finde them no more)
18:15 The marchants of these thinges which were waxed riche, shall stand a farre off from her, for feare of her torment, weeping and wayling,
18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great citie, that was clothed in fine linnen and purple, and skarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stones, and pearles.
18:17 For in one houre so great riches are come to desolation. And euery shipmaster, and all the people that occupie shippes, and shipmen, and whosoeuer traffike on the sea, shall stand a farre off,
18:18 And crie, when they see that smoke of that her burning, saying, What citie was like vnto this great citie?
18:19 And they shall cast dust on their heads, and crie, weeping, and wayling, and say, Alas, alas, that great citie, wherein were made rich all that had ships on the sea by her costlinesse: for in one houre she is made desolate.
18:20 O heauen, reioyce of her, and ye holy Apostles and Prophets: for God hath punished her to be reuenged on her for your sakes.
18:21 Then a mightie Angell tooke vp a stone like a great milstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, With such violence shall that great citie Babylon be cast, and shalbe found no more.
18:22 And the voyce of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpetters shalbe heard no more in thee, and no craftesman, of whatsoeuer craft he be, shall be found any more in thee: and the sound of a milstone shalbe heard no more in thee.
18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more in thee: and the voyce of the bridegrome and of the bride shalbe heard no more in thee: for thy marchants were the great men of the earth: and with thine inchantments were deceiued all nations.
18:24 And in her was found the blood of the Prophets, and of the Saints, and of all that were slaine vpon the earth.
23:37 Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee, how often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her chickins vnder her wings, and ye would not!
23:38 Beholde, your habitation shalbe left vnto you desolate,
23:39 For I say vnto you, ye shall not see mee henceforth till that ye say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
Moses prophesied what would be in the last days and why.

31:16 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and this people will rise vp, and goe a whoring after the gods of a strange land (whither they goe to dwell therein) and will forsake me, and breake my couenant which I haue made with them.
31:17 Wherefore my wrath will waxe hote against them at that day, and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them: then they shalbe consumed, and many aduersities and tribulations shall come vpon them: so then they will say, Are not these troubles come vpon me, because God is not with me?
31:18 But I will surely hide my face in that day, because of all the euill, which they shall commit, in that they are turned vnto other gods.
31:19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouthes, that this song may be my witnesse against the children of Israel.
31:20 For I will bring them into the land (which I sware vnto their fathers) that floweth with milke and honie, and they shall eate, and fil them selues, and waxe fat: then shall they turne vnto other gods, and serue them, and contemne me, and breake my couenant.
31:21 And then when many aduersities and tribulations shall come vpon them, this song shall answere them to their face as a witnesse: for it shall not be forgotte out of the mouthes of their posteritie: for I knowe their imagination, which they goe about euen now, before I haue brought them into the lande which I sware.
31:22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day and taught it the children of Israel.
31:23 And God gaue Ioshua the sonne of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong, and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the lande, which I sware vnto them, and I will be with thee.
31:24 And when Moses had made an ende of writing the wordes of this Lawe in a booke vntill he had finished them,
31:25 Then Moses commanded the Leuites, which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, saying,
31:26 Take the booke of this Lawe, and put ye it in the side of the Arke of the couenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witnes against thee.
31:27 For I knowe thy rebellion and thy stiffe necke: beholde, I being yet aliue with you this day, ye are rebellious against the Lord: howe much more then after my death?
31:28 Gather vnto me all the Elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speake these wordes in their audience, and call heauen and earth to recorde against them.
31:29 For I am sure that after my death ye will vtterly be corrupt and turne from the way, which I haue commanded you: therefore euill will come vpon you at the length, because ye will comit euill in the sight of the Lord, by prouoking him to anger through the worke of your hands.
31:30 Thus Moses spake in the audience of all the congregation of Israel the wordes of this song, vntill he had ended them.
Stephen confirms this right before he becomes the first martyr for witnessing for Jesus Christ.
Acts
7:51 Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
7:52 Which of the Prophets haue not your fathers persecuted? and they haue slaine them, which shewed before of the comming of that Just, of whome ye are now the betrayers and murtherers,
7:53 Which haue receiued the Lawe by the ordinance of Angels, and haue not kept it.
7:54 But when they heard these thinges, their heartes brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
7:55 But he being full of the holy Ghost, looked stedfastly into heauen, and sawe the glory of God, and Iesus standing at the right hand of God,
7:56 And said, Beholde, I see the heauens open, and the Sonne of man standing at the right hand of God.
7:57 Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ranne vpon him violently all at once,
7:58 And cast him out of the citie, and stoned him: and the witnesses layd downe their clothes at a yong mans feete, named Saul.
7:59 And they stoned Steuen, who called on God, and said, Lord Iesus, receiue my spirit.
7:60 And he kneeled downe, and cried with a loude voyce, Lord, laye not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he slept.
~The following is the prophecy of Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone that the builders have refused/rejected.~
Psalms
118:16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord hath done valiantly.
118:17 I shall not die, but liue, and declare the woorkes of the Lord.
118:18 The Lord hath chastened me sore, but he hath not deliuered me to death.
118:19 Open ye vnto me the gates of righteousnes, that I may goe into them, and praise the Lord.
118:20 This is the gate of the Lord: the righteous shall enter into it.
118:21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard mee, and hast beene my deliuerance.
118:22 The stone, which the builders refused, is the head of the corner.
118:23 This was the Lordes doing, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
118:24 This is the day, which the Lord hath made: let vs reioyce and be glad in it.
~Jesus Is the GATE/DOOR ~
John
10:6 This parable spake Iesus vnto them: but they vnderstoode not what things they were which he spake vnto them.
10:7 Then sayd Iesus vnto them againe, Verely, verely I say vnto you, I am that doore of the sheepe.
10:8 All, that euer came before me, are theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did not heare them.
10:9 I am that doore: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saued, and shall go in, and go out, and finde pasture.
“When the Bible says “Jesus is the gate/door,” it refers to the metaphor from John 10:7-9, where Jesus states, “I am the gate/door for the sheep.” This means he is the sole and exclusive way to God’s salvation, safety, and eternal life. In this passage, Jesus compares himself to the only entrance to a sheepfold, which was a protected enclosure for sheep at night. Therefore, anyone who believes in him is entering a place of safety and provision, and leaving the life of thieves and robbers who seek to harm.
Meaning of the metaphor
Exclusive access: Jesus is the exclusive means of access to God’s inner circle, which is a place of safety and belonging.
Salvation and protection: Entering through Jesus means being saved and protected from spiritual predators.
Shepherd and gate: Jesus is both the gate and the good shepherd who guides his followers, who are the sheep, in and out of this sacred space.
Abundant life: He promises that those who enter through him will have life, and have it to the full.
Only path: The metaphor highlights that any other path to salvation is a false one, offered by “thieves and robbers”
Matthew
7:13 Enter in at the streight gate: for it is the wide gate, and broade way that leadeth to destruction: and many there be which goe in thereat,
7:14 Because the gate is streight, and the way narowe that leadeth vnto life, and fewe there be that finde it.
~Now we just read that Jesus Christ IS THE GATE/DOOR, CORRECT? Read the following explanation;
“The phrase “strait is the gate” comes from the Bible, specifically Matthew 7:13-14, which describes a “narrow gate and a difficult way” that leads to life, in contrast to a “wide gate and broad way” that leads to destruction. This scripture teaches that the path to true life requires a focused, difficult, and often self-sacrificing way, and many people do not choose it.
Meaning of the metaphor
The narrow gate: Represents Jesus Christ and a life of genuine, committed faith and righteousness. It is “strait” or narrow because it is difficult and requires the followers of Christ to imitate his behavior through faith and to live by love.
The wide gate: Represents a path of outward righteousness that hides inner corruption,(Religiousity, Zionism, Jewish Kabbalah Talmudis) or a path of self-righteousness and unbelief. This is the way of the world, which is easy to follow and therefore attracts many people.
The narrow way: This path is one of difficulty, struggle, and opposition from the world and spiritual forces. However, it is the only path that leads to “life”. Jesus Christ is the Way, The Truth, and The Life!
The broad way: This is an easy path of self-interest and self-will, which leads to “destruction”.
Key takeaway
The core message of the passage is that there are two fundamental paths of life, and the choice of which one to take is a matter of faith and action. (Jesus Christ or self righteousness through works) “strait gate” is not a metaphor for being narrow-minded, but a representation of a difficult but righteous way of life that few people choose because they prefer the easy way.
John
10:1 Verely, verely I say vnto you, Hee that entreth not in by the doore (Jesus) into the sheepefolde, but climeth vp another way (works), he is a theefe and a robber.
10:2 But he that goeth in by the doore (Jesus), is the shepheard of the sheepe.
10:3 To him the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out.
10:4 And when hee hath sent foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe follow him: for they know his voyce.
10:5 And they will not follow a stranger, but they flee from him: for they know not the voyce of strangers.
10:6 This parable spake Iesus vnto them: but they vnderstoode not what things they were which he spake vnto them.
10:7 Then sayd Iesus vnto them againe, Verely, verely I say vnto you, I am that doore of the sheepe.
10:8 All, that euer came before me, are theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did not heare them.
10:9 I am that doore: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saued, and shall go in, and go out, and finde pasture.
10:10 The theefe commeth not, but for to steale, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might haue life, and haue it in abundance.
10:11 I am that good shepheard: that good shepheard giueth his life for his sheepe.
10:12 But an hireling( prophets for hire, Balaam doctrine), and hee which is not the shepheard, neither the sheepe are his owne, seeth the wolfe comming, and hee leaueth the sheepe, and fleeth, and the wolfe catcheth them, and scattreth the sheepe.
10:13 So the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheepe.
10:14 I am that good shepheard, and knowe mine, and am knowen of mine.
10:15 As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay downe my life for my sheepe.
10:16 Other sheepe (Gentiles)I haue also, which are not of this folde: them also must I bring, and they shall heare my voyce: and there shalbe one sheepefolde (the Body of Christ), and one shepheard.
10:17 Therefore doeth my Father loue me, because I lay downe my life, that I might take it againe.
10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it downe of my selfe: I haue power to lay it downe, and haue power to take it againe: this commandement haue I receiued of my Father.
Now let’s come back full circle if possible.
Romans
9:1 I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost,
9:2 That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart.
9:3 For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh,
9:4 Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises.
9:5 Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen.
9:6 NOTWITHSTANDING it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: FOR ALL THEY ARE NOT ISRAEL, WHICH ARE OF ISRAEL:
9:7 NEITHER ARE THEY ALL CHILDREN, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SEEDE OF ABRAHAM: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:
9:8 THAT IS, THEY WHICH ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE FLESH, ARE NOT THE CHILDREN OF GOD: BUT THE CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE, ARE COUNTED FOR THE SEEDE.
9:9 FOR THIS IS A WORDE OF PROMISE, IN THIS SAME TIME WILL I COME, AND SARA SHALL HAUE A SONNE.
Do you recall early who are the children of promise? Those of faith, those of faith are the seede of Abraham and also heirs according to the promise. The circumcision of the heart not outward circumcision. Remember circumcision outwardly is the law and earthly Jerusalem which causes bondage. Circumcision inwardly of the heart is Heavenly Jerusalem those are given freedom.
This is NOT replacement theology! This IS SCRIPTURE AND IT WAS ALL WRITTEN BY JEWS!!!! This is NOT ANTISEMITIC and that isca whole different study showing Arabs and Israel alike is from Shem and therefore ALL ARE SEMITIC! But thst is for another day.
I am doing this all on my phone 📱 which is not an easy task at all. So as the days progress I will be coming back possibly many time adding more, moving scripture, etc etc
