Looking for Jesus according to Luke

[Rxlx]

Yes. GOD's People are the 12 Tribes and two of them are Ephraim and Manasseh who are today's Anglo-Saxons Christians.

The Ten Tribes of Israel were exiled up to the Caspian area after the Assyrian conquire Samaria aka North Israel. THis happened about 720 BC. NOT 960 as written above.

Revelation 21:3, “His people”
Yes. GOD's People are the 12 Tribes and two of them are Ephraim and Manasseh who are today's Anglo-Saxons Christians.

The Ten Tribes of Israel were exiled up to the Caspian area after the Assyrian conquire Samaria aka North Israel. THis happened about 720 BC. NOT 960 as written above.

Get a Bible and start learning the difference between Jews and Israelites if you can.

- The correct copy was:

c.1000	Jerusalem made capital of David's kingdom.
c.960	First Temple, the national and spiritual center of the Jewish people, built in Jerusalem by King Solomon.
c. 930	Divided kingdom: Judah and Israel
722-720	Israel crushed by Assyrians; 10 tribes exiled (Ten Lost Tribes).
586	Judah conquered by Babylonia; Jerusalem and First Temple destroyed; most Jews exiled. So the conclusion is: If you look at Hebrew history, you can see that it represents many centuries (17th century BCE- 930 BCE)! - If you look at Jewish history, you can see that it is only from 930 BCE to 586 BCE! So 930 BCE instead of 960 BCE for Hebrew history which doesn't change anything (only 30 years more)! It is easy to see the difference of scale! No comparison!

Jesus vs the religious leaders

Luke 7:

Now one of the Pharisees keeps asking him to dine with him. So he enters the house of the Pharisee and reclines at the table.

- When people keep asking Jesus, he listens and answers them, whoever they are!

- It reminds us of Yah.weh!

- Like father like son!

- Do we show the same attitude?

- And look! A woman who is known in the city to be a sinner learns he is dining in the house of the Pharisee, and she brings an alabaster jar of perfumed oil.

- Jesus does everything in the light and people can find him!

- Taking a position behind him at his feet, she weeps and begins to wet his feet with her tears, and she wipes them off with the hair of her head.

- She is known as a sinner but look at what she does!

- Religious leaders are far away from her because she is humble and they are arrogant!

- Also she tenderly kisses his feet and pours the perfumed oil on them.

- Ordinary people vs religious leaders who have dried hearts!

- How is it possible to be so far away from Yah.weh’s truth!

- You can’t look for power and Yah.weh’s truth at the same time!

- It is incompatible!

- Then they think that Jesus can’t be a prophet otherwise he would know the woman is a sinner!

- That’s really a good summary of religious leaders: mentally short-sighted, mentally limited, spiritually limited, spiritually dead and leading people to nowhere!

- They are completely blind!

- How is it possible to be so limited!

- But in reply Jesus says to him: “Simon, I have something to say to you.”

- Then he tells him about an analogy to make him understand and give him a lesson!

- There is only one teacher!

- Then he tells Simon about the woman and everything she does for him and because of that her sins are forgiven!

- What a lesson!

- But they don’t understand anything!

- So they prove themselves good for nothing, useless!

- And they start thinking how it is possible for a man to forgive sins!

- Authority vs meaninglessness!

- Wow: what a powerful action! It seems like a vision!

- How is it possible not to see the difference: it is so evident!

- The problem is when we get accustomed to something, we don’t see it anymore!

- What a pity!

- The woman is far better than them!

- But it is impossible for them to understand it!

- And Jerusalem was destroyed and they were destroyed with it!

- It showed who was right and who was wrong!

- Why is it necessary to study in such a way to be completely wrong!

- And the situation will keep repeating again and again!

Jesus vs the religious leaders

Luke 9:

- The apostles have a discussion about who is the greatest!

- Jesus tells them about a child!

- He tries to show them how to behave!

- They must show humility!

- It is usual among those who think they are important in this world to be the greatest or want to be the greatest but the one who belongs to Yah.weh must be humble and get away from this attitude which has nothing to do with Yah.weh!

- Jesus showed how humble he was which is not the case of religious leaders!

- Moreover, once again we see that Jesus knows what people think!

- It shows the difference between Jesus and men!

- It shows that we must keep working hard to develop humility if we want to look like Yah.weh and Jesus!

- In fact, we have to work hard in many fields or areas to look like them!

- If we think we don’t need to do it anymore, we are in trouble!

- And we are going in the wrong direction!

Jesus vs the religious leaders

Luke 10:

Jesus explains that the harvest is great but there are few workers!

- He adds to beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest!

- And he is sending his disciples out as lambs among wolves!

- Yes, workers are needed and religious leaders are certainly not workers!

- The harvest needs workers who are ready to work hard!

- Workers who are 100% active, not passive!

- Think about all the faithful servants of Yah.weh: they were active men not passive ones!

- If we don’t participate, nobody will do it!

- Religious leaders are certainly not lambs but wolves!

- The harvest needs hardworking lambs!

- Who are we?

- We can look for good examples in the Bible!

- Good examples we can follow!

- Good examples we can regularly think about when we feel good or bad!

- Good examples to find encouragement!

Jesus vs the religious leaders

Luke 10:

Jesus praises his father because he has hidden these things from wise and intellectual ones and has revealed them to young children.

- Wise and intellectual ones vs young children!

- When we look at the world situation it is going worse and worse every day with more and more unsolvable problems!

- And there are many researchers!

- We may ask what they are doing!

- We can say the same of political leaders!

- Yes, Yah.weh’s word is not for such men!

- They are too busy looking for nothing and doing nothing!

- We need to be humble if we want to understand Yah.weh’s word and will!

- Thinking about Bible translations can help us think positively!

- Bible translations are done by men!

- There aren’t perfect translations!

- Of course, we can check the original!

- We can look at interlinear versions and dictionaries!

- Personally, I like Biblehub because there is an interlinear version and a dictionary at the same time!

- There will always be mistakes!

- You can also look at different versions!

- And always look at the context!

- And always have in mind the difference between Ancient Hebrew and Ancient Greek!

- The first one was very limited with words used for different meanings!

- The second one which was extremely rich with extreme precision!

- Thus we must always keep in mind that there are big differences between Ancient Greek and modern languages which are extremely limited in comparison!

- Many people are used to making the same mistakes again and again!

Jesus vs the religious leaders

Luke 10:

The man wants to prove himself righteous so he asks Jesus who his neighbor is!

- Being righteous is a condition of the heart!

- If you want to prove yourself righteous, you look for appearances!

- But appearances are not real!

- It is only superficial!

- So are religious and political and commercial leaders because of power and so is human society!

- The world is burning but they do as if everything was normal!

- And people listen to them!

- It has always been so and it is not going to change!

- In a primitive and limited society!

- Remember: we don’t need to prove righteous!

- Our acts show if we are righteous or not!

- Today it is the reference: you must be a liar!

- No, it is not correct, you must be the biggest liar!

- And this modern world shows what it is really: a world of liars who spend their time lying!

- And to be a good politician, you must be the king of liars!

Jesus vs the religious leaders


Luke 11:

Jesus tells to keep asking to receive and to keep on seeking to find and to keep on knocking to be opened!

- Keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking!

- Jesus’ message is alive, it’s not a tomb!

- And to keep it alive, we need to ask and seek and knock!

- We need to do our job!

- We must speak about Yah.weh and Jesus and what they will bring in the near future!

- But to do that we need to keep studying the Bible and searching and explaining and teaching!

- We can’t let others do the job!

- We must take a share!

- Otherwise why Yah.weh should remember us?

- Remember the workers are few and are required!

- And active ones, not lazy ones!

- There is no excuse!

- What are we doing?

- Are we busy?

- Or are we good to nothing?

- Remember: the Hebrews died in the desert!

- Yah.weh’s message has always been the same from the beginning!

- And man keeps doing as if he didn’t understand!

- There won’t be any surprises!

Jesus vs the religious leaders


Luke 11:

One of those versed in the Law tells Jesus that he is insulting them!

- And Jesus answers him telling woe to them because they put hard loads on men but they don’t touch them with their fingers!

- Man, do you see the balance: on the one side A MOUNTAIN and on the other side A PEA!

- How is it possible not to see the difference?

- Is that a habit?

- Like doing something without thinking?

- Is that what we must do when dealing with God’s and Jesus’ affairs?

- Are we ZOMBIES?

- Do Yah.weh and Jesus need ZOMBIES?

- Is Yah.weh’s word a LIVING SPRING or a DEAD ONE?

- Once again, when Yah.weh decided to use the flood to destroy mankind, he regretted having created it!

- What about today?

- Do you think it is better?

- With men, it can only be worse!

- We just have to see how they are destroying everything!

- And they are putting their children in danger!

- Hopefully, through history, there were always faithful servants of Yah.weh!

- That’s why man still exists!

- That’s why we should act according to such faithful servants of Yah.weh!

- But men are so limited!

Jesus vs the religious leaders


Luke 11:

Jesus tells them woe to them because they took away the key of knowledge!

- They didn’t go in and they hinder those who go in!

- It is as if religious leaders let the door of knowledge closed or they shut it!

- How selfish they are!

- How criminal they are!

- In any case it is a personal choice!

- They do it on purpose!

- They mislead people!

- By doing this, they oppose Yah.weh!

- That’s why we can’t let people think for ourselves!

- It is too easy to let others do everything!

- We need to do our parts!

- We need to study the Bible daily and check everything!

- But this world keeps doing everything for us to be lazy!

- Thus it will prevent people from getting into the next promised land just like the Hebrews!

- it is like cancer!

- It gets everywhere, in the whole body, in the brain!

- There is no part left which is sane!

- To fight such a pandemy requires superhuman efforts!

- But who is ready to do them?
