This week Bro. Leo continues us on a study of the Jesus you never knew by looking at the dual prophesy from Jesus in Matt.24 and how we should be reacting to the current events.

Please listen to this audio file. Bro. Leo discusses several current event scenario’s, everything from vaccine to prayer in school classrooms, and how we as Christians should be reacting to and acting to each occasion by believing truth or deception.

Scriptures used in today’s study:

Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
1Jn 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Isa 59:12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
Isa 59:13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
Isa 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Isa 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

Jos 24:14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psa 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:…….
Psa 1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Psa 1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psa 1:6 …. but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

This week Bro. Leo continues us on a study of the Jesus you never knew by looking at the dual prophesy from Jesus in Matt.24 and how we should be reacting to the current events.

Last week we learned that in Matt.24:3-8, 15 Jesus is prophesying of both the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem and the 7 years of tribulation of the end times. Notice in vs.13 and 14 Jesus is not talking about salvation , He is talking about those folks being physically saved from the war against Israel. During the current Church age there are several precursors to the events of the 7 years of tribulation. In 1John 4:1-3 we see that there have been the spirit of antichrist on Earth since the Church age began. The spirit of antichrist is anything that “exalteth himself above all that is called God” or opposes God. We see this spirit in the USA increasing daily(Rev.12:12). In Matt.24:7 the word “earthquake” is translated from the Greek word “seismos” which means a shaking or upheaval; any natural upheaval, such as forest fires, floods, storms, tornados/hurricanes, earthquakes. Paul tells us in Rom.8:18-22 that we should be expecting the rapture along with “all” of creation. These upheavals are birthing pains in creation in expectation of deliverance into a new day. Jesus gives us the principle in John 16:20-21. In Matt.24:7 the word “famine” is translated from the Greek word “limos” which means a scarcity of anything; food, gas, oil, water, supplies. Scarcity induces panic, which we are seeing now and have seen in the past.

The signs Jesus describes in Matt.24 represent the coming of the judgement of God. In Rom.13:11-14 Paul tells us that we need to be ramping up our relationship with God and our fellow believers (Heb.10:22-25). Heb.10:25 tells not to “forsaking the assembling of ourselves together”, which is exactly what we saw last year with the pandemic (2Thess.2:3).

Rev.3:14-19 describes the Church in the last days, sounds an awful lot like the state of the Church in the USA now.

Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Rom 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

This week Bro. Leo continues us on a study of the Jesus you never knew by looking at the dual prophesy from Jesus in Matt.24.

In Matt.24:3-8, 15 Jesus is prophesying of both the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem and the 7 years of tribulation of the end times. During the first 3-1/2 years of the tribulation there will be many antichrists, rumors of wars, nations against nations vs.8. In vs.15 and 21 are the final 3-1/2 years of the tribulation. Notice in vs.13 and 14 Jesus is not talking about salvation , He is talking about those folks being saved from the destruction of Jerusalem.

During the current Church age there are several precursors to the events of the 7 years of tribulation. In 1John 4:1-3 we see that there have been the spirit of antichrist on Earth since the Church age began. The spirit of antichrist is anything that “exalteth himself above all that is called God” or opposes God. We see this spirit in the USA increasing daily(Rev.12:12).

In Matt.24:7 the word “earthquake” is translated from the Greek word “seismos” which means a shaking or upheaval; any natural upheaval, such as forest fires, floods, storms, tornados/hurricanes, earthquakes. Paul tells us in Rom.8:18-22 that we should be expecting the rapture along with “all” of creation. These upheavals are birthing pains in creation in expectation of deliverance into a new day. Jesus gives us the principle in John 16:20-21.

In Matt.24:7 the word “famine” is translated from the Greek word “limos” which means a scarcity of anything; food, gas, oil, water, supplies. Scarcity induces panic, which we are seeing now and have seen in the past.

In Matt.24:7 the word “pestilences” is translated from the Greek word “loimos” which means plague, disease-spreadable or communicable regional or global. We’re seeing these increase in the last few hundred years.

Eze.7:1-3, 15 explains that these are happening as a sign of God’s judgement on a Nation. 2Chr. 7:13-14 tells us what we need to do in order for God to save us and our Nation (Dan.9:3-8).

Currently we are in the same shape as the folks during the flood of Noah’s time (Rom.1:25, 32).

Dan 9:4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
Dan 9:5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:

This week Bro. Leo continues us on a study of the Jesus you never knew by looking at what the yoke of Jesus is in Matt.11:30.

For the last four weeks we have been studying how Jesus introduced Himself as the Messiah to the Jewish leaders and the transition from the Law to Grace in Matt.11:28-30. In Matt.11:28-30 Jesus is transitioning the Jews from the Mosaic Laws (Old Covenant) to Himself the Messiah, Grace. In the Mosaic Law the Jews were under the yoke of 613 laws and 400-600 addendums that the Jewish leaders had added to the Law. Jesus is telling them all they have to do now is to come to Him and take His yoke and learn from Him in an abiding, continuous personal relationship. He will teach them, equip them and guide them through life. In Matt.23:1-9,13-15, 23-24, Matt.5:1-3, 7-9, 14 Jesus addresses the issue of legalism (yoke of traditions) with the Jewish religious leaders. We learned the initial rest was a rest for the Jews from the 613 Mosaic Laws, commands, 400+- additions to the law, the legalism of Judaism (Matt.23:4-5, 23-24), guilt laden works. Notice that the focus in vs.28 is Me and I (Jesus). In Exo.33:13-14 Moses asks God for grace and God said His presence will go with Moses resulting in “rest”. So, when Jesus said, in Matt.11:28, He would give rest, the Jews recognized that Jesus was telling them He was God and would give them “rest” by His presence in their lives, grace not works. We learned about the second “rest” Jesus mentions in vs.29 (ye shall find rest unto your souls). The word “rest” is translated from the Greek word “anapausis” which means a relaxation of a strained effort, a succession of or a letting go of, a release of; resulting in a spiritual nature of inward tranquility, a calmness, a quietness of heart mind and soul. This second rest is a deeper rest, an abiding rest, a result of being in yoked with Jesus. Notice in Matt.11:28-30 Jesus refers to Himself 7 times as the source of our rest. Jesus gives us what religion and legalism can not, He gives us rest. With Jesus we no longer have to rely on our own “labor” (works) for our salvation. The works that we do after we are saved all come from His power, not our own (Matt.23:4, 2Tim.1:12, Heb.3:10-12, 17-19, Heb.4:10-11). In Heb.3:10-12, 17-19 the “unbelief” the Hebrew writer is talking about is not that the Israelites didn’t believe in God, they experienced God parting the Red Sea and feeding them mana, they didn’t trust God’s provisions. Without trusting in God’s provisions for our every need there is no way we can enter into God’s rest. And we learned Jesus describes Himself as “meek and lowly”. The word “meek” is translated from the Greek word “praos” which means meek, mild and gentle, approachable and accessible. The wod “lowly” is translated from the Greek word “tapeinos” which means a condition of the mind in which how you truly view yourself as lowly humble and modest which results in a servants mindset. Jesus came to us to be our servant (Matt.20:25-28). Jesus didn’t come to us to condemn us, He came to save us (John 3:17). Jesus is nonjudgmental and noncondemning (John 8:1-11). In John 8:1-11 Jesus puts the Scribes and Pharisees on the same level as the accused adulterer. The Scribes and Pharisees had elevated themselves above the people not unlike a lot of Christian religions in the world today, which is not Scriptural. Notice that Jesus tells the adulterer that He doesn’t condemn her, but He then tells her to “go, and sin no more”.

The word “easy” in Matt.11:30 is translated from the Greek word “chrēstos” which means to be useful, beneficial, helpful, profitable, and good. In this context the “yoke” represents a certain set of teachings, requirements and expectations within a religious system or under a certain religious teacher. The yoke of the Mosaic law consisted of 613 commandments and between 400-600 addendums added to the Law.

In Acts 15:1-11 we see that some of the Pharisees that believed in Jesus were trying to incorporate some of the Mosaic laws into Christianity, “to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?” Acts 15:10.

Paul tells us in Gal.5:1-6 that we should not be entangled with the “yoke of bondage”, speaking of adding works of “the Law” to Grace. Paul goes on to say that if we try to justify ourselves by our works then we have fallen away from Grace.

When asked what the work of God is in John 6:28-29 Jesus told them “This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Jesus goes on to say in vs.40 that “that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life”.

In Matt.22:35-40 (John 13:34-35, Matt.16:24-25)Jesus defines His “yoke” “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

John sums up the Yoke of Jesus in 1John 5:1-6, 10-12. It is God who enables us to carry the Yoke of Jesus (Jer.31:33-35, Exe.36:25-27, John 14:20, 2Cor.4:16).
