Matthew 23:
Jesus says that the people
should listen to the Pharisees and teachers of the law because they teach of
Moses, but they should not do what they do because they are hypocrites. Like
many pastors of today, they like men to worship them publicly and they want the
best places at social functions. The title of "teacher" belongs only to Jesus
and title of "father" belongs only to God in heaven, not anyone on earth (except
your earthly father). Jesus further explains that those who embrace
humility are the greatest and exalted to God. Jesus says to them that
they prevent others from entering heaven and they make people swear by gold on
the temple and gifts on the altar, but not the temple or altar itself (money
above God). They focus on tithing, but not the fight for justice, mercy,
and faithfulness. They look good on the outside, but inside is filled with
death, wickedness, greed, & selfishness. Descendants of the wicked inherit their
sins and will pay for all innocent blood. Jerusalem will have no peace
until Jesus' second coming.
Matthew 24:
Jesus told the disciples that
the temple will be destroyed & they should watch out for false prophets, wars,
famine, and earthquakes. Many nations will hate Jesus and his followers as well
as prosecute and murder them. Many will reject Jesus and be deceived by many
(for prosperity doctrine & money). Wickedness and coldness will increase, but
only those who hold on to God will be saved. The end of time will not come,
until the whole world has heard about the kingdom of God and the entire world
dominated by great distress never seen before. The world will see Jesus on the
cloud with his angels and they will mourn. The children of God will be selected,
but no one knows the end of time (including Jesus & the angels), only God. When
the Son of Man (Jesus - Son of God) returns, people will be separated in the
rapture of God's children.

Matthew 25:
In the
last days, the kingdom of God will be like ten virgins who took lamps to see the
bridegroom, but five were wise and the others foolish. The foolish took only
lamps, but the wise took extra oil with their lamps because they were determined
to see the bridegroom. The bridegroom was very late, but when the bridegroom was
arriving, the foolish ones' lamps went out and the wise ones refused to share
their oil because it may not be enough. So the foolish ones went out to buy oil
for their lamps and the door of the wedding banquet shut when the bridegroom
arrived. It is better to be alone than be found in the gathering of the foolish.
A man went on a journey and assigned his property to his servants according to
their ability. He gave one 5 talents, another 2 talents, and the last just
one talent. They all doubled their talents except the last one, who hid his
master's talent in the ground. The master returned and reward the two servants
that doubled their talent, but the one with one talent gave back the only one
talent because he did not want to multiply his master's money. So the master
throw him out and gave his talent to those who can double it. Jesus will
separate the sheep from the goats and embrace the sheep for God's kingdom, but
reject the goats. The sheep are those who care for the hungry, needy,
immigrants, poor, sick, & unjustly imprisoned - Speaking up for justice
and fairness eradicates the needy because they can fend for themselves with
fairer laws. |
