My Parable on the 23rd day of January, 2023
Hear another Parable: Thus says the LORD in this Parable, Titus! now that “Ededjo” (The Final Battle of the Great Day of God) is in the territory of the “Jews”, it is necessary for Us to inform humanity again that I existed in the habitation of men 2000+ years ago, as a Jew. “Then the woman of Samaria said to Jesus, How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.” John 4:9. I became a Jew 2000+ years ago, because the Land of Israel is My Holy Ground. In other words, I created humankind – Adam and Eve in that Land. The first take-home from this Parable, becomes this: The Holy Land of Israel made Me to become a Jew during My first advent. Recall that your nativity was Ur of the Chaldeans when you existed as Abraham. In other words, the land of Babylon was your land of origin, before I betrothed the Land of Creation (Canaan, now Israel) to you and your descendants. So nothing special for Me being a Jew during My first advent, except the Holy Land of Israel. I hope this is noted Titus. Yes, my LORD.
O Earth! O Earth!! What is the relationship between the “Jews” and True Prophets, with special focus on Jesus Christ (God Almighty)? “Jesus was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, TO THEM HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:10-13. Before We progress Titus, let Us derive another take-home from this Bible Passage. That one is a Jew does not make him an automatic Child of God; rather anybody who received Jesus, believed in Him, and obeyed His Words, is the One that is qualified to be called a Child of God. After all, My Friend, Covenant Partner, Father of Believers, and the Heir of the Word – Abraham (Romans 4:11-13 refers), was never a Jew, but a Babylonian. Why did I reference Abraham? Because the “Jews” are fond of calling him their father. Hence, I rebuked them vehemently 2000+ years ago, when they said they were Abraham’s descendants. “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My Word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.” They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this” (John 8:37-40). This Bible Passage had led Us to the crux of today’s Parable: Who are the primitive “Jews”, and what is their relationship with True Prophets?
The primitive “Jews” are rebels. These are the ones who feel they are “God’s chosen people”, because their nativity is Israel. This set of persons are always rebellious against God, His Words, and His Servants. They are quick to spot a True Prophet; walk against that Prophet and kill him if possible. The core habitation of these rebels during Jesus’ time, was Jerusalem. The most dangerous among these evil persons, were those who ministered in the synagogues of old in Jerusalem – the teachers of the law, scribes, priests, chief priests, etc. These were the persons who walked against Jesus Christ throughout His Prophetic Ministry; until they eventually killed Him. Hear what Jesus Christ pronounced against them 2000+ years ago: “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. SERPENTS, BROOD OF VIPERS! HOW CAN YOU ESCAPE THE CONDEMNATION OF HELL? Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ” Matthew 23:31-39. If you don’t know before, then know today that the “Jews” were killers of the Servants of God; they were the ones who also suffered Jesus and crucified Him. Hear these from the LORD again:
And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things. But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him BUT DID TO HIM WHATEVER THEY WISHED. LIKEWISE THE SON OF MAN IS ALSO ABOUT TO SUFFER AT THEIR HANDS. Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.” Matthew 17:10-13. “From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.” Matthew 16:21. The killing of Prophets began with the “Jews”, and the time has come for them to receive their due punishment. “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
Revelation 6:9-10 NKJV. Now hear the conclusion of this Parable:
The “Jews” who withstood Jesus Christ when He was doing New Works on earth 2000+ years ago, and called Him all sorts of names, suffered Him, until they eventually crucified Him, are back to life again in this generation. The prophesied Son of the Glorified Jesus, known as “The Overcomer” (Revelation 21:7 NKJV), had stepped into the shoes of his Father (Matthew 23:39 refers), and he (“The Overcomer”) is doing New Works at this ongoing Day of God, as the Glorified Jesus testified of him: “And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations— ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’— as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 2:26-29 NKJV.
God-cum-Son
“But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!” Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!” Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”… “His blood be on us and on our children.” Matthew 27:20-25.
