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!
