Thessalonians part 20

Moving on to Mark 7:1-8, 9-13, 14-16 where it states the following: “Then came together to Him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem (I might point out that these men all had alien religious and political asperations of vering degrees, as did the Sadducees. This was the undercurrent of the times). When they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault. Because the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands often, eat not, holding to strickly to the tradition of the elders. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold tightly too, such as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables (I have also seen many Hebrews when purchasing a home, having two compleat kitchens in them because of the ancients traditions on TV). Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Why walk not Your disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? Jesus answered them, Well has Esaias (Isaiah) prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, as with the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things you do.


He further said to them, Full well have you rejected the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoso curses father or mother, let him die the death: But to this you say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatever you might be profited by me; he shall be free. And you suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which you have delivered: and many such like things do you.


And when He had called all the people, He said to them, Hearken to Me every one, and understand: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but only those things which come out of him, these are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.”

Can you hear Jesus with a voice of authority and divine correction correcting the falseness of those scribes and Priests that were standing around Him? If that was true then, how much more now after Jesus' execution and ascesnion and then retrun as the Holy Spirit? Why in the world would anyone cling to mans traditions so tightly? This reaches far beyond me and my comprehension to understanding. The dissolution of the Priesthood from Aaron on is recorded in Hebrews chapter 9:7.


It will be from this status that all false christs, false prophets and antiChrist's will spring. Which will give them a form of validation and a false sence of security through a blindness and hardness of heart much like that which Israel as a nation had been given over to long before. It will become clear that all forms of mans religion are so governed as they have roots dating before Noah's flood and the Satanic realm that meets it appointed end in that flood. However as is witnessed to in the synoptic gosples this has not hindered Satan, or his sidekick who is second in command and the legions from their appointed work to destroy man. And make this Gospel of no value through the wasting of it in mans religion and political realms. In an attempt to defame God and thereby over through Him. And more aggressively those of God's own Family, with emphasis on the young and often naive who have just entered Redeption by way of heartfelt declaration of remorse and true repentance. A move of God within the heart of man causing him to declare himself guilty of sins death to God which restrains Light from flowing into the darkness of mans soul, surrounded as it were a shell of hardness and often resentment in bitterness against God. God pricks mans conscience, which has been labled “kicking against the goads,” look at Acts 9 and then 26:9-26. And for the shell look also to Acts 16:14 to see how the LORD of the harvest works in the opening up of this shell.

Back to mans hardness and the working of Satan to hinder through what can be called mans religion, this religion began before Noah's flood. And moved to or was resurrected through Nimrod and his mother/wife in Babylon where it resurfaced and to which John also speaks of in Revelation as a mystery. Hidden in a woman with demonic powers to influence through mental persuasion on men. Because of the fall of man and mans subsequently receiving a hardened heart or soul nature being in darkness by deaths [this is not a physical death but rather a spiritual dying to God in] separation from God. This enhanced mans receptiveness to the influence of evil, iniquity, wickedness and lawlessness which was greatly increased by ten fold. It is only when we enter God's venue of Salvation that our mind and heart receive the circumsion and we are also increased by ten fold in receptivity of Graces giving activity through Faith's receptiveness of God's activities through sancification within us as spoken of in John 17. In what can be called the LORD prayer, for the “all” that will become His enheritance of Psalm 2:6-8 and spoken of by Paul in Galatians 3:18. And then more elaborately in Ephesians 1 and it is even found in Hebrews. This is designed to restore us to a Genesis 2 nature, the image of Christ within, which God through Adam lost. The shadowed power of the CROSS.
