  • V545 - Raising of Lazarus
    • V05 - Lazarus' corpse was already decaying - they had no refrigeration and it was hot that time of year
      • 001 Joh 11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
      • 002 Joh 11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

        • Two other corpses were raised again to life before. But possibly they could argue that Jairus' daughter was sleeping - YESHUA claimed that, and the widow's son? Maybe he was in a coma appearing to be dead.

          But here, there was absolute no excuse, no explanation. The corpse was already in a decaying state - and only a divine miracle could explain the events following,

    • V10 - The ultimate proof of YESHUA's heretage
      • 001 Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
      • 002 Joh 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
      • 003 Joh 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
      • 004 Joh 11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

        • YESHUA clearly claims here that He is from the Father - and that He is going to do this miracle to have people believe His claims.

          This was the final showdown between Him and Pharisess - either they accepted and bowed to His divine origin or reject and exterminate Him, They would be able to sway the greater population the He was a fake - and the whole episode would die down, they maintaining their control over the people (rather the princes of darkness through them).

    • V15 - YESHUA wept
      • 001 Joh 11:35 Jesus wept.
      • 002 V05 - Comment
        • In all probability YESHUA wept as He realised that this will be that one stalk that breaks the camel's back. This is the final and ultimate proof that He gave right in the faces of the Pharisees, right on their doorstep. Challenging them to either accept and bow or exterminate Him.

          Not only the suffering that laid before Him, but also YHWH's fierce anger against the nation for their hardness and stiffneckedness. This was the ultimate proof of His existence, His requirements of His kingdom, and the end of those that reject it.

    • V20 - Criticizing YESHUA when he did not heal Lazarus
      • 001 Joh 11:37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

        • Acknowledging that YESHUA had extraordinary abilities to heal, and could prevent people to die - forgetting the two previous incidences where He raised people.

          Yet He is going to raise a corpse that has already started to decay in the heat of Palestine (sorry Jews, I use the cursed word) - and they will suddenly change and feverishly endeavour to kill the raiser, and the raisee - this was the final nail in the coffen as far as miracles would go - YESHUA proved beyond any argument that He was divinely empowered.

          It never occured to them, in their madness they never thought - certainly they hit their heads now for not perceiving - that there is a chance, even slight, that if He can raise a decaying corpse, He might be able to raise Himself.

          Over and over and over again, YHWH proved the futility of going against Him. He WILL establish His physical realised kingdom on earth - and everyone not qualified as citizen SHALL be excluded.

          AND THEY WILL ONLY HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME. YHWH NEVER took their will, or not, away to qualify, or not, as a citizen.

          Let us listen to the man who did not listen and had to endure the most intense emotional turmoil and remorse imaginable - judged and charged by the fluidity of his own mouth - as He records it in 2Pe 1:5-11.

    • V25 - It was the final nail in the coffin of the Pharisees
      • 001 Joh 11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
      • 002 Joh 11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
      • 003 Joh 11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

        • A statement in passng but that has tremendous importance. The beggarly poor Teacher only had a handful and hooligan followers, undisciplined, untrained, raw. YESHUA had little influence in the territory of the Pharisees "throne".

          But the raising of Lazarus changed all that. The drops were starting to became a little stream that threathened to wear away the wall - to become an uncontrollable torrent - decisively calving away the very foundations of their fraud.

          They (and their father) had to act and act fast.

    • V30 - Planning to exterminate YESHUA
      • 001 Joh 11:46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
      • 002 Joh 11:47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
      • 003 Joh 11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
      • 004 Joh 11:49 And, one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
      • 005 Joh 11:50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
      • 006 Joh 11:51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
      • 007 Joh 11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
      • 008 Joh 11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.,
      • 009 Joh 11:57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him.

        • Another gauntlet... Another chance.

          This time it was not driving out a devil by Beelzebub, or a sinner that healed the blind - this was supernatural intervention - and they knew of no event where the dead was raised by darkness - there was at least one instance where the dead were raised by YHWH though...

          They made the first step by rejecting the counsel of YHWH, not being baptised of John - he was not accomodating though, calling them vipers! - the following steps to entrap YESHUA was easier, claiming Him to be empowered by the lord of the dead (flies), dispising Him, rejecting Him ever going deeper down the rebbit hole of depravity. Move either up, to more light, following YESHUA, down, deeper down following the forces of darkness.

          Now, instead of cursing the dumb and ignorant nation, which knows nothing, they are suddenly concerned about them. Reagan said, if the government wants to care for you, RUN! Solomon said even the mercy of the wicked is cruel...

          It is unthinkable how far claimed to serve YHWH people can sink into depravity of mind. No wonder these were the people that took the dark mysteries of the Greeks and made it science, moved the first words of YHWH into a dark corner, bred the most wicked philosophies and government systems, psychology, science ever known by man...

          Yet YHWH is in control. He used this utter depravity of man to accomplish His goals. The worst thing that they have done, killing YHWH Himself, sets those the bow submissively, yet joyfully, into the kingdom of YHWH, free. Free to choose and do right.

          The one word upon which all our faith and hope is build, one of the corner stones of Christianity's structure, TELEO - finished, was the outcome of there plans.

          They destroyed their own religion. And caused the destruction of their city, and their temple AD70, and their nation in AD 135.

          But they were not finished. The Talmud and Zohar and Origin of Species, Communist Manifesto and other wicked works would flow from their hands. Apparently, based on several sources, they were responsible for sweeping YESHUA's words into the dustbin of not applicable to Christian Old Covenant theology through Dispensationalism. Would make a lot of sense....  YESHUA having replaced the sacrificial animal of the Old, in  Christians' minds His words have no authority in today's world... His name and blood talismans.

          But YHWH has a plan. And just like the previous, they (some of them) WILL receive YESHUA, when they face the final destruction from the one that they worshipped and placed into power.

          And, as in the crucifixion, He WILL accomplish His purposes, through the One World Order, to once and for all rid the earth of the pollution and filth brought about when Adam wanted part of the polluted and filthy knowledge.

          Halleluja!  

    • V35 - Planning to exterminate Lazarus
      • 001 Joh 12:9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake, only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
      • 002 Joh 12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;,
      • 003 Joh 12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
      • 004 Joh 12:17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
      • 005 Joh 12:18 For this cause, the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
      • 006 Joh 12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

        • Again a roadsign. Do not go down the road of darkness, Each step will be easier, but more dangerous, turning around will be more difficult.

          Undeniably, and even more evidence of divine, supernatural intervention than the healing of the blind, was a dead for four days, rotting corpse that was brought back to life, They could cast the earstwhile blind out. This time no movement were allowed.

          So far did they go that they were planning to kill an innocent man. It would raise questions and unhappiness amongst the crowd but even that would subside, eventually.

          YHWH has given them over to their depravity, but even the dark prince will find out, that dark prohibited knowledge, evil, will only trap and entangle the follower. YHWH designed it that way - from the very beginning.

          Let us allow the Holy Spirit to lit up and search the deepest and darkest corners of our life, and have them decisively cleansed out, so that every part of our being is in sync with the words and melodies of YHWH's kingdom, every part well lit and clean.
