The 1st amendment. You remember that thing they called "Freedom of Speech" ? Jesus, in case You did'nt know, practiced "Freedom of Speech", so much so that it made Him public enemy number one, and of course eventually got Him murdered. Jesus' more appropriately practiced "Freedom of Truth" and He said some incredibly abrasive things based on world standards of course. The caption in the picture is just one of many phrases that Jesus actually said...This might be hard for some who have been taught that "He gets Us...", but please remember that these are
Jesus' own words
John 8:44 - “You are of your father the devil, and the †desires of your father you want to †do.
...whom You say You worship. I'm just the messenger.
When I was born again in 2015, I remember when I first read these words in the gospel of John chapter 8. It was as if my heart was ripped out. I could'nt believe what Jesus had said. Of course,
in due time the Holy Spirit put it into my heart to know the truth of what happened in that exchange of words with His own people the Jews.
You see, I had never heard of this passage as it was never taught in any sermon I'd ever heard before. Then again, I was so lukewarm at the time that if I did hear it...it would probably mean nothing.
I had listened to preachers such as John Hagee, Paul Crouch, Jim Bakker who always promoted that the Jewish people are the Chosen people of God.
To think otherwise would be...Well..."there must be something wrong with You Christian!!!". Of course, thanks
to My Lord and Savior Jesus who has chosen me out of the world, I now know
the truth.
Matthew 21:43 - “Therefore I say to you, †the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.
Before the great gift of the Kingdom of God was presented to Gentiles like Myself and Maybe You...Jesus' great mission was to first present the gospel to His own people. We can surmise that the Father orchestrated these events so that
His once People
1st Peter 4:17 - For the time has come †for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, †what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?would no longer have an excuse on the Great Day of Judgement. However, as it was written and prophecied in the scriptures, Jesus would be
killed
Acts 7:52 - “Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of †the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, 53†“who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.”by the same people He was trying to save. In the process of gospel presentation, Jesus had offended the majority of His own people because He brought to light many of their unrighteous deeds. ...and Jesus spoke freely, mostly speaking in parables firstly to obfuscate the message of the kingdom but secondly i presume to indirectly convict His own People while not angering them to soon and possibly cut His mission short. Jesus spoke against the Jews...and in turn they were against Him. You could say that Jesus was a prototype...the First Anti-semite.
Friends, We are living in a time where History will soon repeat itself. I know some of You may already know this and if You do, You may know that the power to speak freely
is slowly dying. We are slowly silenced for fear...
However, if You live long enough You may remember 2023 as a great Year of Free Speech, because we are at the precipice of the One World Government. The 4th Beast Kingdom, long
prophecied in the book of Daniel and Revelation. A world where every word You say, and everything that You do
will be measured.
Revelation 13:16-17 - And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: Re13.17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
But even if these things are inevitable, We as Christians have to do Our Job! We cannot live life in fear, How are You going to face God the Father and Our Lord
on the day of judgement, when They show You via a replay of Your life, that You were scared to speak truth and warn others. You should know what He will do...
Revelation 21:8 -
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
...The rest of the world can cower in fear, but true Christians cannot...We will not be allowed to do so.
It all starts with this one Word
