Shortly before His ascension, our Savior commanded his followers to "Go and disciple all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," and to teach them "all that [He] had commanded them." In pursuit of this command the Apostles and their successors commenced a multi-century struggle to preserve the faith once delivered and declare it to the nations. These men, our spiritual fathers, laid the foundations of the Church and preached the Gospel to every city they could, frequently inviting the wrath of the pagan authorities for upsetting the pax deorum, the peace of the gods. Most of the Apostles would be martyred, along with many later men like Polycarp of Smyrna—a bishop and disciple of John—and Cyprian of Carthage.But divine providence would change this state of affairs over a mere few decades. Not long after the Diocletian persecution of the early 4th century, Flavius Valerius Constantinus, or Constantine the Great, would ascend to dominance over the Western half of the Roman Empire. Constantine would adopt the Christian faith, and by consequence he would set off a chain of events that saw the increasing fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah, that the Law would go out from Zion, and the Lord would judge between the nations.His successors would solidify his Christian measures, culminating in the declaration of Nicene Christianity as the official faith of the empire through the Edict of Thessalonica, delivered by Emperor Theodosius I in A.D. 380. Though paganism did not disappear overnight, these decrees oriented the Roman state and eventually other European kingdoms towards the full dominance of Christianity in all parts of their kingdoms, to the point that even our mere knowledge of various pre-Christian folk religions is patchy—sometimes pure conjecture.It was by these means that the faith would dominate Europe, and through the European empires be exported across the globe. Further, the intellectual development of the faith that we enjoy today was done under the patronage of princes, guaranteeing the time, resources, and security necessary for theologians of old to exercise their gifts. Though the preaching of the Word was the absolutely essential spark that lit the flame of the faith, it was the Christian magistrate who carried the torch and spread the light into all spheres, and thus fulfilled the prophecy of David: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way others cut down branches from the trees and strawed them in the way And the multitudes that went before and that followed cried saying Hosanna to the son of David Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest
“And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.” (Matthew 21:9 KJV)

Jesus Is The Way - Humility To Glory (audio) David Eells – 3/2/25 Today, I'd like to focus on our Example of humility, Who, of course, is the Lord Jesus. He said He could do nothing of Himself. (Joh.5:19) … The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner. Now, obviously, if Jesus could do nothing of Himself, we can do nothing of ourselves. Nothing of any importance in the Kingdom can we do of ourselves because self has no power to do the work of God. Self cannot walk in the Spirit. Self does not have the renewed mind of Christ with the renewed sight and hearing (Ephesians 4:23), having been washed with the water of the Word (Ephesians 5:26). Self has no power to walk in the Spirit or to do the works of God. When men take over Christianity, they bring God and His gifts down on their level and everything about that is just dead religion. It's worthless to God. Look at the huge religious organizations that do not turn out anything that looks like Jesus. There's no reward for it whatsoever, but many people waste their lives in another kingdom rather than the Kingdom of God. Jesus was both a son of man and the Son of God. He was talking about self here. He wasn't talking about the spiritual man that dwelt in that body; He was talking about self. And He said in (Joh.5:30) I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. Jesus sought the Will of the Father. (Jas.4:7) Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. He was humble to the Will of the Father. He did not have His Own religious “agenda.” When we're driven by our own desires, our own agendas of ego, pride, and competition, we're not trustworthy, we're not humble, and we can expect problems. We can expect not to have the salvation that we need because we're self-willed and stubborn, and seeking our own kingdom. Jesus said that He could of Himself do nothing. That tells us that we certainly can't expect to do this on our own either. So, let's look to Jesus, Who is our Example of true humility. (Isa.66:1) Thus saith the Lord, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will ye build unto me? and what place shall be my rest? (2) For all these things hath my hand made, and [so] all these things came to be, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my word. Notice, the Lord is talking about building Himself a house, and He is saying that He doesn't dwell in houses made with men's hands (Acts 7:48,17:24). This is the “house” that God is building, as verse 2 speaks of, but then He says, “to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my word.” That's the “house” of the Lord. He is speaking about the house that He has chosen, and that house is “a man who is of a contrite spirit, that trembleth at his word.” Oh, praise God! Another verse says, (Psa.138:6) For though the Lord is high, yet hath he respect (That's the Hebrew raah, also translated as “to see, become aware, give attention, regard, consider,” etc.) unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar. The bible school graduates of Jesus' day, as in our day, could not do the works of Jesus. Even though God is great and He rules over all and He is to be revered and bowed down to, He respects the lowly. Now we have learned that grace is God's method to give us faith and power. (Jas.4:6) … Wherefore [the scripture] saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. We also need to understand that the blessings of God are poured out upon the people who will humble themselves. (Jas.4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you. So our Lord Jesus Christ is our Example. He not only came to be our Savior, to deliver us from ourselves, from the devil, from the curse, but He's our Example of what is true “humility.” (1Jn.2:6) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. We are commanded to walk in the Steps of Jesus because what Jesus gave us was an example of life. I agree we haven't all come into that yet, but the more we study Him, the more we see what it is to be walking humbly before our God. (Mic.6:8) He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God? We are to be transformed into that same Image. (2Co.3:8) But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. Therefore Jesus' walk should be our walk, and we're coming to the time when God is going to fulfill that, when God is going to restore everything that's been taken away from His people (Joel 2:23-29). God is going to bring us back to walking in the Power of the Spirit of God! It will be awesome! So, also, it says in (Php.2:5) Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus (So we are supposed to be thinking the same way He does, with the same ambitions, the same desires, the same humility.): (6) who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, (7) but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; (8) and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross. (And we are also to humble ourselves, becoming a servant, taking-up our cross, and following Jesus.) (9) Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name. In baptism, which represents death, burial, and resurrection, He gave us His Name, and as we enter into the manifestation of that death, burial, and resurrection, the Name of Jesus Christ is manifested in us. As we've studied before, the word “name” means “nature, character, and authority.” As we “have this mind...which was also in Christ,” and we take up our cross to follow Him, and we humble ourselves to become servants in this world, that Name is manifested in us. That's the fruit that Jesus is asking for in the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:3-9,18-23; Mark 4:1-9,13-20; Luke 8:4-15). That's the 30-, 60-, and 100-fold fruit of the manifestation of His Name in us, His Nature, His Character, His Authority. We behold “in the mirror the glory of the Lord,” and are transformed into that same Image, “from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the spirit.” God Himself chose humble circumstances for His Son. Obviously Jesus could have come in all of His Glory and manifested Himself as the King that He is, but God wanted Him to come in humble circumstances. Let's read in (Luk.2:4) And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David; (5) to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child. (6) And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered. (7) And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. God sent His only begotten Son to earth to be the Savior of mankind. He was the most important Person Who has ever been on this earth, and yet God sent Him in these circumstances. Could God have supplied better circumstances to honor the great King? Of course, He could, but it wasn't His plan, because Jesus not only represents the Savior, He represents the body of Christ. He came here to give up His carnal life, His physical, fleshly life, in order to take up His spiritual, heavenly Life, and He came to show us the Way. He was called the Way in (Joh.14:6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me. He said, “I am the way,” and so far what we're seeing is that He came in very humble circumstances, and throughout Jesus' earthly work, He continued in very humble circumstances. He took on no titles or letters behind His name. He took up no collections for himself. He is the way! And it says in (Luk.2:42) And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast; (43) and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not; (44) but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance: (45) and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him. (46) And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions: (47) and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. No doubt, even at twelve years old, He had a lot to teach them, although Jesus was still subject to the moral laws at that time. He was subject to His parents and He was subject to people who were set in authority over Him, just as we are also commanded to be in subjection to those who have been given authority over us. We are in subjection unto the kings and unto the governments. (Rom.13:1) Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God. (2) Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. (3) For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: (4) for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. (5) Wherefore ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake. (6) For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God's service, attending continually upon this very thing. (7) Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. And, if we are servants, we are also in subjection to our masters as we are told in (1Pe.2:18) Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. (19) For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully. (20) For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it], ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. And so was Jesus. Even the mighty Son of God had to humble Himself to be submissive because of the body that He was dwelling in. Many people think we have special privileges because we are sons of God, but it is because of this body that we dwell in, we've been given these rules and regulations. Now let's return to our text in (Luk.2:48) And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing. (49) And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father's house? (50) And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. (51) And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all [these] sayings in her heart. (52) And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. “Favor” is the Greek xáris meaning “grace, as a gift or blessing.” You see, because Jesus was humble, He received grace. He showed us how to overcome. Jesus was truly an overcomer. People think, “Of course, Jesus overcame since He's the Son of God.” But Jesus laid aside His omnipotence and omniscience to come down as a Spirit-filled man, the Son of God dwelling in Him just as the Son of God dwells in us. He came down and left that God privilege and ability to be an example unto us and demonstrated to us all that humility is the Way. He was humble, and God blessed Him, and He “grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” You would expect that Jesus, being the great King that He was, would have had an awesome palace full of luxuries, with many servants and so on. Some preachers do preach that kind of a Jesus, a Jesus Who was rich, but it's very hard for us to see that anywhere in the Scriptures. It's because of their apostate doctrines and their own selfish desires that they preach that kind of a Jesus, because the Bible tells us why Jesus chose to be poor. (Jas.2:5) Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him? Jesus wasn't forced into poverty; He chose it. Poverty is not a curse when everywhere you go, God supplies your need. He had a need for an ass's colt to fulfil scripture so He borrowed one instead of raising one, which would be a burden. It's a contentment. Paul said, (1Ti.6:6) But godliness with contentment is great gain: (7) for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; (8) but having food and covering we shall be therewith content. God translated Jesus because He didn't have airplanes. (Mat 6: 33) But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. God will give you what you need to do His will but we don't need the burden of idols. However, just “food and covering” aren't enough for most people. (Luk.9:57) And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. (Well, it's easy to say that, but when you find out the conditions, you might not want to go with Him, and so Jesus began to explain the conditions of His lifestyle.) (58) And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. Did this potential disciple know what he was getting into? The Lord wanted to make sure that he did before he went, and do we know what we're getting into when we claim to be disciples of Jesus Christ? That's the important thing because God expects and wants us to follow the Lord no matter what, with no excuses, with no looking back at our former life, as the rest of the text says. And yet these are the people who live by miracles. (Luk.9:59) And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. (Notice “me first”.) (60) But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God. “Publish” is diaggéllō, which properly means to “thoroughly declare (publicly herald); fully announce {throughout the world}, ‘declaring far and wide,' i.e. widely (profusely) proclaiming.” (Luk.9:61) And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house. (62) But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Jesus wanted them to go and spread the Good Tidings, but they had very human excuses, which Jesus was not accepting in the least. He told them, “There's something more important than your family or your houses or anything you can think of.” Of course, most of society, and even religious people, will tell us, “Oh, no, these things are very, very important.” We need to have our mind renewed to deliver us from many such traditions that get in the way of our doing what is truly important, because as the Lord Jesus teaches us in, (Mat.6:33) … seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Jesus wasn't sorry that He chose poverty. He was happy for the joy that He was able to bring others through deliverance, healing, provision, and so on. He chose this lifestyle, and, for those who have in their heart the same mind as was in Christ (Philippians 2:5-8), it's their desire, too. The most important thing to them is not the things of the world, but to humble themselves to the Will of God. The rich are distracted by their toys. We're told in, (2Co.8:9) For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich. Some rather near-sighted people read that and say, “Oh, boy! The Lord became poor so we could become rich!” But, read very carefully, “that, though He was rich.” Now, where was He rich? (Php.2:5) Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: (6) who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, (7) but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; (8) and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself (Jesus had to humble Himself, and we have to humble ourselves.), becoming obedient even unto death (Humility is denying ourselves to take up our cross and follow Jesus.), yea, the death of the cross. (9) Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name. We can see plainly where He was rich. He was rich in the Kingdom of Heaven with His Father before He laid it all aside and came down here to be a Servant, and to humble Himself unto the death of the Cross in order to bear that Name. While He was down here, He wasn't rich. So notice, “though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor.” Jesus became poor in order to meet our needs. He sacrificed His whole Life, not just when going to the Cross, but His whole Life, in order to make sure that the Good News of God's all-encompassing provisions was proclaimed far and wide. “That ye through his poverty might become rich.” The “rich” this is talking about is the same kind of “rich” that Jesus laid aside in order to come down here. He's bringing us to His heavenly Kingdom. (1Jn.4:17) … As he (Jesus) is, even so are we in this world. He's not talking about riches down here and none of His disciples understood this to be riches on earth. There is no promise for the rich of the world who are not rich in the provision of the heavenly Kingdom of God. Jesus pointed that out in the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, where the rich man didn't see to Lazarus' need (Luke 16:19-31). (1Ti.6:6) But godliness with contentment is great gain. In the New Testament, we are called to be rich in spirit, rich in the gifts of the Kingdom, rich in the “gold and silver” of the Nature of Jesus Christ and, yes, have all material provision that we need to build the Kingdom. This was clearly seen in the lives of Jesus and His first disciples. They were unencumbered by the distracting things of this world. (1Jn2:15) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. The promises are for the poor. He preached the Gospel to the poor. (Jas.2:5) Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him? (2Co.8:10) And herein I give my judgment: for this is expedient for you (So this needs to be fulfilled in us if we are to have the Mind of Christ, Who laid everything aside to become a servant of God and do the work of the Kingdom for our sakes.), who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. (“God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure,” will put this in our hearts as in Philippians 2:13.) (11) But now complete the doing also; that as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the completion also out of your ability. In other words, “Hey, let's not be just hearers of the Word, but let's be doers of the Word in providing the needs of the brethren.” Then as we read on down, Paul speaks about how the Lord wanted equality in His people regarding material possessions. (2Co.8:12) For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according as a man hath, not according as he hath not. (13) For I say not this that others may be eased and ye distressed; (14) but by equality: your abundance being a supply at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become a supply for your want; that there may be equality: (15) as it is written, He that gathered much had nothing over; and he that gathered little had no lack. That's referring to the Israelites gathering manna in the wilderness, and it's the principle Paul was using about there being equality among the people. (Exo.16:18) And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating. When they gathered the manna, they would measure out an omer-full. Then they would put any excess into the container of somebody else who hadn't gathered quite enough, and that way everybody got their needs met. In the Parable of the Rich Young Ruler (Mark 10:17-31; Luke 18:18-30), who couldn't give-up his riches to enter the Kingdom, Jesus said (Mat.19:24) … It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (25) And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved? (Meaning, of course, that they knew this was impossible.) (26) And Jesus looking upon [them] said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Jesus knew God could put the generosity in the heart of the rich to share their riches, as it should be done. (Ecc.5:11) When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, save the beholding of them with his eyes? … (13) There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt. However, to their shame, the rich then made one of the Temple gates the “eye of the needle” because, of course, they wanted to get all the rich people through the Door of the Kingdom more easily. Jesus was a humble person. Earthly riches were not something that Jesus preached anywhere in His ministry and He rejected it for His Own Life. He raised His disciples to be humble people with a simple lifestyle in order to focus on building the Kingdom. Everything else physical was just a means to an end, but like the Pharisees of that day, the Pharisees of our day are still trying to make Jesus rich. (Joh.19:23) The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. I'm sure you've heard some of the prosperity preachers who say Jesus was rich because of this garment that was completely woven without a seam. That's interesting, though I don't know how anybody could say that made Him rich. I guess they think He had something that nobody else had, but I submit to you that there's also another reason God describes Jesus' garment in this way. In Revelation, the Bride is clothed with a lampros garment. (Rev.19:8) And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright (That's lampros and it means “shining, magnificent, bright, splendid.”) and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. A seamless garment represents not having mans works involved.. A garment also represents covering-up nakedness, which God likened unto sinfulness (Genesis 3:7,10-11). And also the Scripture teaches, (Isa.59:4) None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. (5) They hatch adders eggs (In other words, that's their fruit.), and weave the spider's web (A spider's web is very porous, and notice it is woven but you can see nakedness or sin.): he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. (6) Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. So notice in Revelation that the righteous works or righteous acts of the saints are what the lampros bridal garment represented, but here, these people whose works are wicked, don't have enough works to cover themselves. They are exposed for what they are. We, too, are weaving a garment by our works, and it has to be one that covers our nakedness. The Lord Jesus had this wonderful coat that was woven throughout with no seam of man in it, and it doesn't represent riches at all; it represents righteousness, One Who is walking in truth and righteousness and purity. The wisdom and righteousness Jesus had was not from man, but from God. As a matter of fact, we can see as we read on in our text, that Jesus had no riches. (Joh.19:24) They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots. (25) These things therefore the soldiers did. (They were casting lots for probably the only thing of any value that Jesus had.) But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. (26) When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved (That suggests this is John the apostle, himself.), he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! (27) Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home. What did Jesus provide for His mother during His ministry? He didn't seem to be making a living, and some people would say He was not really successful. We know He was totally successful because, as He told the Father, (Joh.17:4) I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do. He raised up a worldwide church but He didn't seem to worry about providing for His mother. When He was leaving, He hadn't arranged for her to have a home or any of the things that a successful preacher would obviously give to his mother. Instead, He passed on His responsibility for taking care of her to one of His other disciples, and that disciple didn't seem to be any better off than He was. Of course, Jesus had taught His disciples that God would supply their every need. (Luk.9:2) And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. (3) And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats. … (Luk.22:35) And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing. That's because everywhere they went, God supplied their need. They freely gave, and they didn't charge a tithe, as some people say. There's not one place in the Scriptures where they ever did that. Jesus said tithing was of the Law (Matthew 23:23). They went by faith and God supplied. It's good to live by faith. (Mat.6:19) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: (20) but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: (21) for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also. It's good to walk and to trust in God, but of course, you can't do that if you're materialistic and you want to live on a higher level than God wants you to live. We see plainly in the life of Jesus that the Father did not desire for Him to walk in the way of riches, nor is that healthy for anybody to do. God has called us to walk in the steps of Jesus, in His humility to the Father, and His humility to not try to impress the people around Him. He didn't care anything about being what the world called “successful,” and I think this proves that Jesus wasn't a rich person and wasn't interested in those things, nor was His mother. The physical things, the food, the covering, all these things are necessary but they're just a means to an end, not a love of our life. We're told in (1Jn.2:15) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Jesus' love was God's saints. He was interested in raising up the saints to be able to walk in obedience to the Will of God and to be sanctified and to be pleasing unto the Lord. And we're told that if we have His wisdom, we won't have the wisdom of man. (1Co.1:30) But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: (31) that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. Now let's go to (Mat.13:54) And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? (That's the Greek dýnamis meaning “power, might, strength,” and it's where the word “dynamite” comes from. This is more accurately read, “Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty powers?) (Mat.13:55) Is not this the carpenter's son? In other words, “We know who his father is, so where did He come up with this wisdom and mighty powers? It doesn't make any sense because He's just the son of a carpenter.” Well, it doesn't make any sense only if you were used to nepotism, which they were. All those rich Pharisees and Sadducees and Scribes passed on the “family business” to their sons, just like a lot of the churches do nowadays. When the old man's gone, the son takes over. He's now chosen to be the pastor, but why is it that God always seems to choose the son to be assistant pastor, and then the pastor? Is this not nepotism? Isn't there somebody more qualified who's available? Well, you'd never find it out because of that spirit. Nepotism is the story of the High Priest Eli. (1Sa.2:12) Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not the Lord. … (17) And the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord; for the men despised the offering of the Lord. … (22) Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how that they lay with the women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting. (23) And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people. (24) Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord's people to transgress. (25) If one man sin against another, God shall judge him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord was minded to slay them. Obviously, raising up his sons to take his place didn't work, because they didn't walk in the ways of the Lord and they grabbed for the physical as much as they could, and we're seeing the same thing today. We're seeing Eli ministries everywhere that walk in nepotism and in lust for the things of the world. And God destroyed Eli's sons, which are a type of far too many ministries today. And so, people were questioning how Jesus was teaching and healing and working miracles. They were implying, “Hey, this is not a son of a Pharisee. He's not a son of one of our scribes. He's not a son of a Sadducee. How does the son of a carpenter get all this wisdom and power?” Those Pharisees and Sadducees and Scribes had rich parents, so they went to their Bible schools and entered into the family business, because that's what it really was. Yet, here's somebody that didn't have the same “opportunity” their preachers did. Well, to Jesus, and to the Father, that wasn't an opportunity and that wasn't a blessing. Jesus was in a position of weakness because He was raised up in a family that wasn't well-to-do and didn't have connections, but it made no difference because He wasn't after what those people were after. (Mat.13:55) Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? (56) And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? (They knew His humble family and wondered, “How did this man get this wisdom?” because the only way they knew you could get it was to go to Bible School.) (57) And they were offended in him. (You have heard that familiarity breeds contempt. In other words, “Poor Jesus! He is just a commoner and has no credentials. He has no ‘pedigree.' And His father has no important connections.”) But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house. (58) And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. How foolish that people would question the gift because of the way that it came! Even today, that happens. People want to know if you have any “letters” behind your name. They ask, “Are you important?” and “Where did you get this wisdom?” Cannot God just give it to you by studying the Bible on your own? Cannot God lead you by the hand and make you a disciple? We read in (Heb.13:8) Jesus [is] the same yesterday and to-day, [yea] and for ever. He still takes people by the hand and makes disciples of them when they have a personal relationship with Him through the Word of God. Jesus had a personal relationship with the Father. He didn't need any go-betweens. He didn't need any Nicolaitan preachers that were between Him and the Father. He had a personal relationship with the Father and that's where He got His great wisdom and power. It came from the Father. So because Jesus had no credentials, it offended the Eli ministries of His time. Unlike the common people, they wouldn't just sit and listen and accept the gift of God that was coming through Him; they expected something more. Well, God is justified of His awesome works. Glory to God! If you want God's Will, you don't need to be raised up in a mausoleum. (Joh.7:14) But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. (15) The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? (By that, they meant He didn't go to their seminaries.) (16) Jesus therefore answered them and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me. (17) If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself. He didn't say they had to go to a seminary of man to get it like the Pharisees did. He said if a person desired God's Will, they would know of the teaching. God will raise you up as a disciple of Jesus Christ. He will take you by the hand. He will lead you. Of course, this is a humbling way, because the world and the worldly church don't recognize you, but the Lord does. He opens doors to the humble people and He will bring it to pass. Amen! Jesus was made known to the righteous because God opened their eyes to see Him, but we know He was rejected of the proud and the religious leaders and the rich people. They just wanted to walk in materialism and so He wasn't recognized of them. (Mar.12:35) And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David? (36) David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. (37) David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly. You know, it takes a lot of effort to get a worldly education and you want to believe it's valuable. All those religious leaders had gone through a lot of trouble to get to that place. They didn't want to be humbled; they wanted to be seen as the great people that they thought they were. But the humble people, the common people, they loved to listen to Jesus. Even though He wasn't raised up in their seminary, that made no difference to them. Humility is not an outward show. We read in (Mar.12:38) And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces… Oh, they love to dress “snazzy,” don't they? You have to have a nice suit and stand behind a pulpit but Jesus didn't hold to their traditions of men. That's important to some people, but God said, (1Sa.16:7) … Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. God's not interested in the riches and the finery that a lot of the religious world is interested in. None of that makes you righteous, or smart, or a good teacher. Again in (Mar.12:38) And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces (39) and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts. In the Parable of the Guests (Luke 14:7-11), didn't Jesus teach us to be content in a lowly place, and not to go up higher unless you are called? He said to beware of putting yourself in too high a position because somebody more honorable may come to take your seat, but these people chose for themselves the chief places in the feasts. Well, Jesus wanted to share His gift with people. That was the most important thing to Him. Promoting Himself above people was something He considered totally fleshly. Continuing with (Mar.12:40) They that devour widows houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation. (41) And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. (42) And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites (At current valuation, one mite is approximately 1/16th of a penny.), which make a farthing. (43) And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury: (44) for they all did cast in of their superfluity (That's perisseúō meaning “overflowing abundance, excess, lavishness, prosperity.”); but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living. Glory to God! We tend to judge in the flesh what humility is, and what submitting to the Will of God is. Jesus complained that all of these people who put in their over-abundance were not sacrificing anything because they still had all of their needs met, but this poor widow gave more than all of them because of what she had left. She knew that God would meet her needs and this is the kind of faith that impressed Jesus. Can you imagine, this poor widow, who humbly gave two mites to the Kingdom, is more famous throughout all of history than any of those unmentioned rich show-offs, who gave to the Kingdom in a display of pride. You know, it is truly what you have left that proves your sacrifice, not how much you give. This lady gave more than all of them according to God's accounting and that was true humility on her part. This impressed Jesus more than the Pharisees and the Sadducees and their ways of dealing with God. You know, Jesus didn't seek the honor that comes from man. He didn't even seek for God to honor Him, but when He didn't seek the honor for Himself, God sought it for Him. (Mat.21:4) Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, (5) Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek (The text that's being quoted here is from Zechariah 9:9 where “meek” is translated as “lowly.”), and riding upon an ass, (Mat.21:5) Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, And riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass. And notice, He even had to borrow this foal of an ass, so we can't say He was rich in the way of the world. However, when Jesus does come back in Revelation 19, we see that He's on a big white horse. Now, I would say, if somebody was rich, and wanted to impress the multitudes, He'd certainly be riding on a big white horse, not the foal of an ass. What was the point He was making? He was making the point that, even though He was King, to be King does not mean materialism in God's Kingdom, and it doesn't mean pride, boastfulness, or being lifted up above anybody in God's Kingdom on earth. He came “lowly...riding upon an ass,” and if our Lord King would do this, what does God expect of us? Does He expect humility of us? I guarantee it. (Mat.21:6) And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them, (7) and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon. (8) And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way. Jesus said, (Joh.14:6) … I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me. He is the Way, and He showed us the Way. His method is humility. He expects it of everybody. He doesn't care what the preachers nowadays think. Many are high and lifted up, but in the Kingdom, if they make it, they will be the least because they've disobeyed the principles that Jesus has laid down, the Nature and Character that He's passed on to us, and this humility that He carried throughout His earthly ministry. (Mat.21:9) And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David… Even though He was King, Jesus wasn't seeking any worldly kingdom, but here the Lord honored Him from the simple people. “Hōsanná is a transliteration of the Hebrew hôsî-âh-nā meaning ‘Oh, save now!' or ‘Please save!' It comes from two words, Yahsha, which means ‘O save, deliver,' and nah, which means ‘I pray.'” In both Aramaic and Hebrew, it was originally a cry for help, but then also became used as a cry of happiness. (Mat.21:9) And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. (Mat.21:10) And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this? (11) And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee. So Jesus continued on to Jerusalem and entered the Temple. (Joh.2:14) And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: (15) and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers money, and overthrew their tables; (16) and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. (Jesus complained that the priests and scribes had made the Father's House a “house of merchandise” to profit for themselves.) (17) His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up. He defended the Father's House. He wanted it to be a humble place, a place of prayer for all nations, but they had made it a den of thieves. These days, what is loosely called “Father's House” is once again a den of thieves. It's a place for materialism and for worshipping men who don't share the humility that Jesus has and don't see the importance in it. All worship goes to God; all praise goes to God. He is the supplier of every thing. It doesn't do our flesh any good to be lifted up because, as the Bible says, (Mat.23:12) … whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted. Also, (1Pe.5:5) … all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. And so we have a whole generation of ministry that knows nothing of these principles that Jesus is laying down for us. He said, (Mat.10:9) Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses. And, (Mat.10:8) … freely ye received, freely give. But they know nothing of this and they're not following the Master. They're not disciples of Jesus Christ. A true disciple is a “learner and a follower.” He is somebody who studies the Master in order to walk in His Steps and to do what He did. Notice that when we study the Master, we don't see the mansions that the leaders of Christianity have raised up unto themselves. And sometimes one mansion is not enough for them, neither is one jet plane enough for them, or one Rolls Royce enough for them. (Isa.56:11) Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds (He's calling the leadership of the church “greedy dogs.”) that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter. What about the equality that Jesus desired to have on this earth? What about the desire for His disciples to share and share alike so that everybody's needs would be met? Jesus did not want people to profit or to be lifted up in the Father's House. He didn't want people to be esteemed for their physical attributes. Even the Body that God gave unto Jesus was not to be admired. (Isa.53:2) For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. (Jesus was not good looking because He did not want to be followed for that reason.) (3) He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not. God didn't want anybody to follow Jesus for the wrong reason. The apostle Paul, one of the greatest writers of the New Testament, wrote things “hard to be understood” (2 Peter 3:16). He wasn't evidently, even a good speaker (2 Corinthians 10:10), but it didn't make any difference. God wanted people to listen to Paul for the value of those words that he got across to them. God wants His ministers to be humbled. It's the reason Jesus sent His disciples forth without all the provision of the world. Jesus was a King; He had authority. He could multiply the fishes, the loaves, the gold. He could have filled churches. He could have made Himself a Name in the earth. The people wanted to make Him a King, but He refused. (Joh.6:14) When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world. (15) Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone. It was something that the devil had offered unto Him, and Jesus had refused him, too (Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13). But, you know, there are many people today, even leaders of Christianity or members of the body of Christ, who would take that in a minute. They would be kings and lords over God's heritage. They don't know the principles of God's Word and the principles that Jesus was trying to get across to us in order to humble this old flesh. We have to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus. It doesn't do us any good to let this flesh come down off the cross and have its own will. We deny it. We fast. We refuse it to be fed and to live. Thank You, Father, that You give us the ability, Lord, to deny the old man a right to live, a right to speak, a right to lift himself up, a right to pride. We deny it, in Jesus' Name, Lord. Amen! Now, I'd like to share a few revelations with you. Jesus Is Again Coming in Humility June Johnson - 07/29/2008 (David's notes in red) In a very vivid dream, I saw a donkey in the middle of a road with a baby on its back. It is Jesus birthed in the end-time corporate man-child, whose beastly flesh is in servitude and humility by God's grace. Mat.21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass. Jesus is coming as the latter rain on this morning of the third thousand year day. Hos.6:2 After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. 6:3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. He will anoint the first-fruits man-child first, as it was with Jesus. Just as the Jews expected Him to come as a reigning king over their enemies, the Christians do today. “The things that have been are the things that will be”. Instead, He will come once again in the form of humble servants before coming personally. Next, I heard a car coming and thought to myself, “I had to get the baby out of the road before the car came closer.” The dragon will seek to destroy the corporate man-child, as with Jesus and Moses, but he will be anointed with authority to rule from the throne, as they were. Rev.12:4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. 5 And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. The donkey then knelt down and I grabbed the baby and ran. End of dream Jesus will come wherever the beastly flesh is in submission. Others will partake of the Spirit of Christ in them. The fruit of Christ will be served to God's people through a humble body. Sad State of the Church Michael Boldea I had a dream where I was in a hospital room; it was very clean, and freshly painted. In the room there was a bed with a woman in it. I approached the bed and took a closer look at the woman. She was dressed in a gray robe, and she had a ring on every finger of her hand. From time to time, she would raise her hand, look at her fingers, and smile. For some reason, that smile was the saddest thing I've ever seen. It was crooked, and it exhibited no real joy. As I looked at her the sadness in my heart grew to such intensity that it woke me up. Even awake I could still feel the sadness, and as much as I tried I couldn't get back to sleep. For six days in a row I had the same exact dream; I would see the woman lying in bed, I would be overwhelmed by sadness, then I would wake up. I was so frustrated, not knowing what this meant, that on the seventh day I decided to fast. That night as I went to sleep the dream started again, the same as before. I looked at the woman, she smiled, and the sadness overwhelmed me, but I didn't wake up. The door to the room opened and a man dressed in a white smock walked in holding a clipboard. Before he could say anything, I began asking a barrage of questions. “Who are you? Why am I here? Who is she? Why have I been dreaming this for almost a week?” “Because you waited almost a week to fast”, he said. He must have noticed the stunned expression on my face, because his eyebrows arched upward. “I am a friend”, he continued, “I was sent with a message, be at peace servant, all will be revealed in due time”. “How do I know you're a friend”, I asked. “Because, Jesus is Lord”, he answered. Then he smiled, and I recognized him. I had seen that smile before. Suddenly I was eight years old again, sleeping in the top bunk of the bed I shared with my grandparents, on a cold winter night in Romania. I will remember that night for as long as I live. I had woken up to go to the restroom, but before I could get out of bed, I heard talking below me. My grandfather was talking to someone. I went to peer over the edge to see who it was, and found myself face to face with this same man. He'd smiled at me, and I'd instantly gone back to sleep. “I know you, don't I?” “Yes, we've met once before, but I see you often”, he answered. “Why am I here?” I asked. “Because you murmur, because you have said in your heart that you are on a fool's quest, because you think no one hears, that the message is falling on deaf ears. It is not for you to judge the success the message has in the hearts of others; you were called to be a servant; serve. I was sent to rekindle the fire of compassion in your heart. Compassion for the wayward and the lost, compassion for her”, he said, pointing to the woman in the bed. “Who is she?” I asked. “She is the church”, he answered me. “Content only with the things of this earth, absent of spiritual strength. She is the reason you and others like you were called to forfeit your lives. The sadness you feel when you behold her is nothing compared to the sadness the Father feels for her condition. If she is to stand in the fire, if she is to be victorious, she must be strengthened. She has been in this condition of spiritual paralysis for so long, she believes this is her natural state. If only she knew the power she has access to, if only she knew obedience. The wolves have gathered unhindered, and soon they will strike at her with violence. What will she do if she is unable to defend herself? What will become of the house of God?” “Be faithful, for faithfulness is rewarded. Why do you say in your heart that God should make it easier, that He should ease your trials? Would you rather that pride find its way into your heart when the Father endows you with the gift He has promised? Keep humility as your constant companion, for the humble receive an abundance of grace. Remember if just one soul is spared from the eternal flame, if just one soul is reached and brought to salvation, it is worth a lifetime's labor and sacrifice. One day you will know the number, receive your reward, and be astonished. I must leave now, but whether in the waking hours, or a dream, we will meet again”. The man walked to the bed, looked down at the woman, smiled a sad smile and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the room, and I was alone with her, the sadness began to invade my heart, and I woke up. The reason I share this with you is to ask for your prayers. It is a difficult thing to go to church after church, night after night, and speak a message of repentance that to the hearts of many, has become a foreign concept. The knowledge that if just one heart is reached, if one returns to the narrow path of faith, it is worth it and gives us purpose and new strength. May the light of God shine brightly in your hearts, and may you exhibit Christ wherever you are. Revelation 3:19, “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent”.

"Hosanna to the Son of David! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' Hosanna in the highest!" Matthew 21: 9
As we come to Palm Sunday and we see the crowds worshiping Jesus, we muse upon His thoughts. What is He thinking as the praises go up? Matt. 21:9 "And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest." Vs. 15 "And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased."

As often as the occasion arises to stimulate and intensify the love and veneration of the Christian people for Mary, the great Mother of God, We are filled with wondrous satisfaction and joy, as by a subject which is not only of prime importance in itself and profitable in countless ways, but which also perfectly accords with the inmost sentiments of Our heart. For the holy reverence for Mary which We experienced from Our tenderest years, has grown greater and has taken firmer hold of Our soul with Our advancing age. The Holy Father's Devotion to Mary 2. As time went on, it became more and more evident how deserving of love and honor was she whom God Himself was the first to love, and loved so much more than any other that, after elevating her high above all the rest of His creation and adorning her with His richest gifts, He made her His Mother. The many and splendid proofs of her bounty and beneficence toward us, which We remember with deep gratitude and which move Us to tears, still further encourage and strongly inflame Our filial reverence for her. Throughout the many dreadful events of every kind which the times have brought to pass, always with her have We sought refuge, always to her have We lifted up pleading and confident eyes. And in all the hopes and fears, the joys and sorrows, that We confided to her, the thought was constantly before Us to ask her to assist Us at all times as Our gracious Mother and to obtain this greatest of favors: that We might be able, in return, to show her the heart of a most devoted son. Filial Trust in Mary 3. When, then, it came to pass in the secret design of God's providence that We were chosen to fill this Chair of St. Peter and to take the place of the Person of Christ Himself in the Church, worried by the enormous burden of the office and finding no ground for reliance upon Our own strength, We hastened with fervent zeal to implore the divine aid through the maternal intercession of the ever blessed Virgin. Never has Our hope, We are happy to acknowledge, at any time of Our life but more especially since We began to exercise the Supreme Apostolate, failed in the course of events to bear fruit or bring Us comfort. Thus encouraged, Our hope today mounts more confidently than ever to beseech many more and even greater blessings through her favor and mediation, which will profit alike the salvation of Christ's flock and the happy increase of His Church's glory. 4. It is, therefore, a fitting and opportune time, Venerable Brethren, for Us to induce all Our children-exhorting them through you-to plan on celebrating the coming month of October, consecrated to our Lady as the august Queen of the Rosary, with the fervent and wholehearted devotion which the necessities weighing upon Us demand. 5. It is only too plain how many and of what nature are the corrupting agencies by which the wickedness of the world deceitfully strives to weaken and completely uproot from souls their Christian faith and the respect for God's law on which faith is fed and depends for its effectiveness. Already the fields cultivated by our Lord are everywhere turning into a wilderness abounding in ignorance of the Faith, in error and vice, as though blown upon by some hideous pest. And to add to the anguish of this thought, so far from putting a check on such insolent and destructive depravity, or imposing the punishment deserved, they who can and should correct matters seem in many cases, by their indifference or open connivance, to increase the spirit of evil. 6. We have good reason to deplore the public institutions in which the teaching of the sciences and arts is purposely so organized that the name of God is passed over in silence or visited with vituperation; to deplore the license - growing more shameless by the day - of the press in publishing whatever it pleases, and the license of speech in addressing any kind of insult to Christ our God and His Church. And We deplore no less the consequent laxity and apathy in the practice of the Catholic religion which if not quite open apostasy from the Faith, is certainly going to prove an easy road to it, since it is a manner of life having nothing in common with faith. Nobody who ponders this disorder and the surrender of the most fundamental principles will be astonished if afflicted nations everywhere are groaning under the heavy hand of God's vengeance and stand anxious and trembling in fear of worse calamities. The Remedy 7. Now, to appease the might of an outraged God and to bring that health of soul so needed by those who are sorely afflicted, there is nothing better than devout and persevering prayer, provided it be joined with a love for and practice of Christian life. And both of these, the spirit of prayer and the practice of Christian life, are best attained through the devotion of the Rosary of Mary. 8. The well-known origin of the Rosary, illustrated in celebrated monuments of which we have made frequent mention, bears witness to its remarkable efficacy. For, in the days when the Albigensian sect, posing as the champion of pure faith and morals, but in reality introducing the worst kind of anarchy and corruption, brought many a nation to its utter ruin, the Church fought against it and the other infamous factions associated with it, not with troops and arms, but chiefly with the power of the most holy Rosary, the devotion which the Mother of God taught to our Father Dominic in order that he might propagate it. By this means the Church triumphed magnificently over every obstacle and provided for the salvation of her children not only in that trial but in others like it afterward, always with the same glorious success. For this reason, now, when human affairs have taken the course which We deplore, bringing affection to the Church and ruin to the State, all of us have the duty to unite our voice in prayer, with like devotion, to the holy Mother of God, beseeching her that we too may rejoice, as we ardently desire, in experiencing the same power of her Rosary. The Mother of Mercy 9. When we have recourse to Mary in prayer, we are having recourse to the Mother of mercy, who is so well disposed toward us that, whatever the necessity that presses upon us especially in attaining eternal life, she is instantly at our side of her own accord, even though she has not been invoked. She dispenses grace with a generous hand from that treasure with which from the beginning she was divinely endowed in fullest abundance that she might be worthy to be the Mother of God. By the fullness of grace which confers on her the most illustrious of her many titles, the Blessed Virgin is infinitely superior to all the hierarchies of men and angels, the one creature who is closest of all to Christ. "It is a great thing in any saint to have grace sufficient for the salvation of many souls; but to have enough to suffice for the salvation of everybody in the world, is the greatest of all; and this is found in Christ and in the Blessed Virgin."(1) Jesus and Mary 10. It is impossible to say how pleasing and gratifying to her it is when we greet her with the Angelic Salutation, "full of grace"; and in repeating it, fashion these words of praise into ritual crowns for her. For every time we say them, we recall the memory of her exalted dignity and of the Redemption of the human race which God began through her. We likewise bring to mind the divine and everlasting bond which links her with the joys and sorrows, the humiliations and triumphs of Christ in directing and helping mankind to eternal life. 11. It pleased Christ to take upon Himself the Son of Man, and to become thereby our Brother, in order that His mercy to us might be shown most openly; for "it behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest before God."(2) Likewise because Mary was chosen to be the Mother of Christ, our Lord and our Brother, the unique prerogative was given her above all other mothers to show her mercy to us and to pour it out upon us. Besides, as we are indebted to Christ for sharing in some way with us the right, which is peculiarly His own, of calling God our Father and possessing Him as such, we are in like manner indebted to Him for His loving generosity in sharing with us the right to call Mary our Mother and to cherish her as such. Our Mother in Christ 12. While nature itself made the name of mother the sweetest of all names and has made motherhood the very model of tender and solicitous love, no tongue is eloquent enough to put in words what every devout soul feels, namely how intense is the flame of affectionate and active charity which glows in Mary, in her who is truly our mother not in a human way but through Christ. Nobody knows and comprehends so well as she everything that concerns us: what helps we need in life; what dangers, public or private, threaten our welfare; what difficulties and evils surround us; above all, how fierce is the fight we wage with ruthless enemies of our salvation. In these and in all other troubles of life her power is most far-reaching. Her desire to use it is most ardent to bring consolation, strength, and help of every kind to children who are dear to her. 13. Accordingly, let us approach Mary confidently, wholeheartedly beseeching her by the bonds of her motherhood which unite her so closely to Jesus and at the same time to us. Let us with deepest devotion invoke her constant aid in the prayer which she herself has indicated and which is most acceptable to her. Then with good reason shall we rest with an easy and joyous mind under the protection of the best of mothers. The Rosary as Meditation 14. To this commendation of the Rosary which follows from the very nature of the prayer, We may add that the Rosary offers an easy way to present the chief mysteries of the Christian religion and to impress them upon the mind; and this commendation is one of the most beautiful of all. For it is mainly by faith that a man sets out on the straight and sure path to God and learns to revere in mind and heart His supreme majesty, His sovereignty over the whole of creation, His unsounded power, wisdom, and providence. For he who comes to God must believe that God exists and is a rewarder to those who seek Him. Moreover, because God's eternal Son assumed our humanity and shone before us as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, our faith must include the lofty mysteries of the august Trinity of divine Persons and of the Father's only-begotten Son made Man: "This is eternal life: that they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou bast sent."(3) 15. God gave us a most precious blessing when He gave us faith. By this gift we are not only raised above the level of human things, to contemplate and share in the divine nature, but are also furnished with the means of meriting the rewards of heaven; and therefore the hope is encouraged and strengthened that we shall one day look upon God, not in the shadowy images of His creatures, but in the fullest light, and shall enjoy Him forever as the Supreme Goodness. But the Christian is kept so busy by the various affairs of life and wanders so easily into matters of little importance, that unless he be helped with frequent reminders, the truths which are of first importance and necessity are little by little forgotten; and then faith begins to grow weak and may even perish. Our Faith and the Mysteries of the Rosary 16. To ward off these exceedingly great dangers of ignorance from her children, the Church, which never relaxes her vigilant and diligent care, has been in the habit of looking for the stanchest support of faith in the Rosary of Mary. And indeed in the Rosary, along with the most beautiful and efficacious prayer arranged in an orderly pattern, the chief mysteries of our religion follow one another, as they are brought before our mind for contemplation: first of all the mysteries in which the Word was made flesh and Mary, the inviolate Virgin and Mother, performed her maternal duties for Him with a holy joy; there come then the sorrows, the agony and death of the suffering Christ, the price at which the salvation of our race was accomplished; then follow the mysteries full of His glory; His triumph over death, the Ascension into heaven, the sending of the Holy Spirit, the resplendent brightness of Mary received among the stars, and finally the everlasting glory of all the saints in heaven united with the glory of the Mother and her Son. 17. This uninterrupted sequence of wonderful events the Rosary frequently and perseveringly recalls to the minds of the faithful and presents almost as though they were unfolding before our eyes: and this, flooding the souls of those who devoutly recite it with a sweetness of piety that never grows weary, impresses and stirs them as though they were listening to the very voice of the Blessed Mother explaining the mysteries and conversing with them at length about their salvation. 18. It will not, then, seem too much to say that in places, families, and nations in which the Rosary of Mary retains its ancient honor, the loss of faith through ignorance and vicious error need not be feared. True Christian Living 19. There is still another and not lesser advantage which the Church earnestly seeks for her children from the Rosary, and that is the faithful regulation of their lives and their conduct in keeping with the rules and precepts of their holy religion. For if, as we all know from Holy Scripture, "faith without works is dead"(4)because faith draws its life from charity and charity flowers forth in a profusion of holy actions-then the Christian will gain nothing for eternal life from his faith unless his life be ordered in accordance with what faith prescribes. "What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he bath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?"(5) A man of this sort will incur a much heavier rebuke from Christ the Judge than those who are, unfortunately, ignorant of Christian faith and its teaching: they, unlike the former, who believes one thing and practices another, have some excuse or at least are less blameworthy, because they lack the light of the Gospel. "And Dwelt Among Us" 20. In order therefore that the faith we profess may the better bring forth a harvest of fruits in keeping with its nature, while the mind is dwelling on mysteries of the Rosary the heart is wonderfully enkindled by them to make virtuous resolutions. What an example we have set before us! This shines forth everywhere in our Lord's work of salvation. Almighty God, in the excess of His love for us, takes upon Himself the form of lowly man. He dwells in our midst as one of the multitude, converses with us as a friend, instructs and teaches the way of justice to individuals and to multitudes. In His discourse He is the teacher unexcelled; in the authority of His teaching He is God. To all He shows Himself a doer of good; He relieves the sick of the ills of their bodies and, with paternal compassion, heals the most serious sickness of their souls. Those above all whom sorrow troubles or whom the weight of worry crushes, He comforts with the gentle invitation: "Come to me, all you that labor, and are burdened, and I will refresh you."(6) Then into us, at rest in His embrace, He breathes that mystic fire which He has brought to all men, and benignly imbues us with the meekness and humility of His own heart, with the hope that, by the practice of these virtues, we may share the true and solid peace of which He is the Author: "Learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart; and you shall find rest to your souls."(7) For Himself, in return for that light of heavenly wisdom and that stupendous abundance of blessings which only He could merit for mankind, He suffers the hatred of men and their most atrocious insults; and, nailed to the cross, He pours out His blood and yields up His soul, holding it to be the highest glory to beget life in men by His death. 21. It would be utterly impossible for anyone to meditate on and attentively consider these most precious memorials of our loving Redeemer and not have a heart on fire with gratitude to Him. Such is the power of a faith sincerely practiced that, through the light it brings to man's mind and the vigor with which it moves his heart, he will straightway set out in the footsteps of Christ and follow them through every obstacle, making his own a protestation worthy of a St. Paul: "Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? or the sword?"(8) "I live, now not I; but Christ liveth in me."(9) The Life of Mary 22. But lest we be dismayed by the consciousness of our native weakness and grow faint when confronted with the unattainable example which Christ, who is Man and at the same time God, has given, along with mysteries which portray Him, we have before our eyes for contemplation the mysteries of His most holy Mother. 23. She was born, it is true, of the royal family of David, but she fell heir to none of the wealth and grandeur of her ancestors. She passed her life in obscurity, in a humble town, in a home humbler still, the more content with her retirement and the poverty of her home because they left her freer to lift up her heart to God and to cling to Him closely as the supreme Goodness for which her heart yearned. 24. The Lord is with her whom He has filled with His grace and made blessed. She is designated by the heavenly messenger sent to her as the Virgin from whom, by the power of the Holy Ghost, the expected Saviour of nations is to come forth clothed in our humanity. The more she wonders at the sublime dignity and gives thanks to the power and mercy of God, the more does she, conscious of no merit in herself, grow in humility, promptly proclaiming and consecrating herself the handmaid of God even while she becomes His Mother. 25. Her sacred promise was as sacredly kept with a joyous heart; henceforth she leads a life in perpetual union with her son Jesus, sharing with Him His joys and sorrows. It is thus that she will reach a height of glory granted to no other creature, whether human or angelic, because no one will receive a reward for virtue to be compared with hers; it is thus that the crown of the kingdoms of heaven and of earth will await her because she will be the invincible Queen of Martyrs. It is thus that she will be seated in the heavenly city of God by the side of her Son, crowned for all eternity, because she will drink with Him the cup overflowing with sorrow, faithfully through all her life, most faithfully on Calvary. Mary, Our Model 26. In Mary we see how a truly good and provident God has established for us a most suitable example of every virtue. As we look upon her and think about her we are nor cast down as though stricken by the overpowering splendor of God's power; but, on the contrary, attracted by the closeness of the common nature we share with her, we strive with greater confidence to imitate her. If we, with her powerful help, should dedicate ourselves wholly and entirely to this undertaking, we can portray at least an outline of such great virtue and sanctity, and reproducing that perfect conformity of our lives to all God's designs which she possessed in so marvelous a degree, we shall follow her into heaven. 27. Undaunted and full of courage, let us go on with the pilgrimage we have undertaken even though the way be rough and full of obstacles. Amid the vexation and toil let us not cease to hold out suppliant hands to Mary with the words of the Church: "To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears; turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us... Keep our lives all spotless, make our ways secure, till we find in Jesus joys that will endure."(10) 28. Although she was never subject to the frailty and perversity of our nature, Mary well knows its condition and is the best and most solicitous of mothers. How willingly will she hasten to our aid when we need her; with what love will she refresh us, and with what strength sustain us. For those of us who follow the journey hallowed by the blood of Christ and by the tears of Mary, our entrance into their company and the enjoyment of their most blessed glory will be certain and easy. Devout and Frequent Recitation of the Rosary 29. Therefore the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, combining in a convenient and practical form an unexcelled form of prayer, an instrument well adapted to preserve the faith and an illustrious example of perfect virtue, should be often in the hands of the true Christian and be devoutly recited and meditated upon. We address this commendation especially to the Confraternity of the Holy Family which We recently praised and approved. Since the mystery of the hidden life which Christ our Lord long led within the walls of the house in Nazareth is the reason for the existence of this association, that its members may constantly conform themselves to Christian life on the model of the Holy Family established by God Himself, its intimate connection with the Rosary is plain. 30. Especially is this so in the joyful mysteries, which end with the one in which Jesus, after manifesting His wisdom in the temple, came with Mary and Joseph to Nazareth and was subject to them, preparing, as it were, for the other mysteries which are more closely connected with the instruction and the Redemption of mankind. From this all the members may understand that it is their duty to be devotees of the Rosary themselves and to be diligent in propagating deviation to it among others. 31. For Our part, We confirm and ratify the grants of sacred indulgences made in years past in favor of the faithful who spend the month of October in the manner We have prescribed. Because of your authority and zeal, Venerable Brethren, We know that the Catholic people will be fired with devotion and holy emulation in venerating through the Rosary, the Blessed Virgin, Help of Christians. The Holy Father's Source of Consolation 32. And now let Us bring Our exhortation to a close in the way it began, proclaiming once more and even more openly the devotion we cherish toward the great Mother of God, a devotion both mindful of past blessings and full of joyous hope. We ask the prayers of the Christian people in devout supplication before her altars on behalf of the Church, tormented by such adverse and turbulent times, and on behalf of Ourself as well. Advanced in age, worn out with labors, fettered by distressingly difficult events with no human help to rely upon, We must yet carry on the government of the Church. Our hope in Mary, powerful and benign Mother, is daily more confirmed and more sweetly consoling. To her intercession We attribute the many and remarkable gifts We have obtained from God; with thanks still more profuse do we attribute the fact that it has been given Us to reach the fiftieth anniversary of Our episcopal consecration. 33. It is, indeed, a great comfort to us, looking back over the long years of Our pastoral charge, troubled as they have been by daily worry, that We are still engaged in ruling the whole Christian flock. During that time We have had, as happens in men's lives and as the mysteries of Christ and Mary illustrate, reasons for joy mixed with reasons for many and bitter sorrows, as well as occasions to glory in gains won for Christ. All of this We, with a mind submissive to God and with a grateful heart, have tried to turn to the good and the honor of the Church. And now - for the rest of Our life will run a course not unlike the past - should new joys come to gladden Our heart, or sorrow to threaten Us, or honors to glory in, We, steadfast in the same heart and mind, yearning only for the heavenly glory which God confers, say with David: "Blessed be the name of the Lord";(11) Not to us, but to thy name give glory."(12) The Shepherd's Plea to His Flock 34. From Our devoted children, whose filial and affectionate concern for us We know burns bright, We look for heartfelt thanks to God, prayers, and holy aspirations, rather than for congratulations and honors. It will be a special joy to Us if they ask for Us this grace, that all the strength and life that remain to Us, all the authority and grace with which We are invested, may profit the Church, and in the first place bring back into her fold her enemies and those who have wandered from the right way, to whom our voice has this long time been appealing for reconciliation. 35. Upon all of Our dearly beloved children may there flow, from the happiness and joy of Our coming Jubilee, God granting, gifts of justice, peace, prosperity, holiness, and all good things. This, with paternal love, We beg God; this do We exhort in the words of His Holy Scriptures: "Hear me. . . and bud forth as the rose planted by the brooks of waters: Give ye a sweet odor as frankincense. . . Send forth flowers, as the lily, and yield a smell, and bring forth leaves in grace and praise with canticles and bless the Lord in his works. Magnify his name, and give glory to him with the voice of your lips, and with the canticles of your mouths, and with harps. . . With the whole heart and mouth praise ye him, and bless the name of the Lord."(13) 36. If these plans, so ardently desired, be scoffed at by the wicked who blaspheme that of which they are ignorant, may God mercifully spare them. But that He may give Our hopes His propitious aid through the prayers of the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, take as a token of divine favor and at the same time as a pledge of Our affection, Venerable Brethren, the Apostolic Benediction, which We, lovingly in the Lord, bestow on each of you, on your clergy, and on your people.

John, 12:12-19, Matthew, 21:1–17, Revelation 6:9–10, Daniel 7:13, Galatians 3:7, Zachariah 9:9, Isaiah 56:7. John, 12:12–19. John 12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Joh 12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. Joh 12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, Joh 12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. Joh 12:16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. Joh 12:17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. Joh 12:18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. Joh 12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. Matthew, 21:1–17. Mat 21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, Mat 21:2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. Mat 21:3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. Mat 21:4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Mat 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. Mat 21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, Mat 21:7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. Mat 21:8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. Mat 21:9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. Mat 21:10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? Mat 21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. Jesus Cleanses the Temple Mat 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, Mat 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. Mat 21:14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. Mat 21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, Mat 21:16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? Mat 21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
In this video, we will be exploring a powerful moment in the life of Jesus where he wept over Jerusalem. This moment is captured in the book of Luke, chapter 19, and it follows the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, where the crowds were shouting "Hosanna to the Son of David" and acknowledging him as the coming Messiah and king. As we read in Matthew 21:9, "And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest." This was a moment of great excitement and celebration for the people who had witnessed Jesus perform mighty works and miracles. However, not everyone was happy with the crowds praising and acknowledging Jesus. Some of the Pharisees in the crowd asked Jesus to rebuke the disciples and stop them from shouting "Hosanna" and giving him praise. They were afraid of the possible repercussions of such a display of faith and admiration for Jesus, knowing the high priest and elders of the city were against him. But Jesus' response was powerful and confident. He said, "I tell you that if these should hold your peace, the stones would immediately cry out." (Luke 19:40) Jesus knew the importance of this moment, and he knew that his mission was to fulfill the will of God, even if it meant facing opposition and persecution. Yet, amidst all the excitement and commotion, Jesus stopped and wept over Jerusalem. As we read in Luke 19:41, "And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it." This was a profound moment of grief and sorrow for Jesus, as he saw the city that had rejected him and his message. Jesus' weeping over Jerusalem was a symbol of his great love and compassion for his people, even though they had turned away from him. He knew that his message of salvation and forgiveness was not being heard and accepted by many in the city. As he wept, he said, "If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes." (Luke 19:42) Jesus' tears were a reflection of the pain he felt for those who did not accept him and his message. He knew that their rejection of him would lead to great suffering and destruction. Yet, he still loved them and had compassion for them. As we reflect on this powerful moment in the life of Jesus, we are reminded of the depth of his love for us. He wept over Jerusalem because he loved the people there, and he weeps over us when we turn away from him. But even in our darkest moments, Jesus is there, ready to extend his love and forgiveness to us. So let us take a moment to reflect on the love and compassion of Jesus, and let us turn to him with open hearts and minds, ready to receive his message of salvation and grace. May we never forget the depth of his love for us and the sacrifice he made on our behalf. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnbc/message
Matthew 21:1-11 (CWSB)Jesus Enters Jerusalem (Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-38; John 12:12-19)1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.3 And if any man say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.4 -- All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way.9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.Power To Change Ministry Rev.

église AB Lausanne ; KJV Matthew 21 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? ...
The joyous occasion of Yeshua's entrance into the city of Jerusalem, the exploits performed by Him in the Temple Courts, and the prophetic fulfillments of the Prophets spoken hundreds of years prior, presented serious issues for the religious leaders. In addition to Yeshua's entrance, the shouting of "Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest", the scene Yeshua caused by overturning the tables of the moneychangers and driving the merchants from the Temple Courts, infuriated the Chief Priests and scribes. The teaching opportunities provided by all of the events of the day, and the following day upon Yeshua's return to the city, present tremendous lessons for us on Faith, Fear and the Way of Righteousness. Join us as we glean from the lessons learned from Yeshua's interactions with His disciples, discourses with the Chief Priests and the elders of the people, and the parable of the man and his sons in these powerful and dynamic lessons taught by Messiah Yeshua in the message: Faith, Fear and the Way of Righteousness.
And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. Matthew 21:9

The Dragon is Cast Down (3) (Audio) David Eells - 4/17/22 The Origins of Evil Claire Pienaar - 4/12/22 (David's notes in red) After Riaan and I watched “Watch the Water" from Stew Peters, we hit the floor and prayed and interceded for those family members who have been duped by the Beast System. Then I asked the Lord if this documentary interview with Dr Ardis was true, and received by faith at random, Psa 92:15 To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. I closed my eyes and had a vision. I saw a big needle, and the scene zoomed out and looked like it was being re-wound, like movies that you rewind. The needle became a big black snake, then the snake became a large dragon or serpent with legs and wings. It stood up on its back legs and flapped its wings, it had horns and and a forked red tongue. It was aggressive and angry. (Representing the dragon/serpent of Revelations 12 who tries to destroy the Man-child and Woman and failing at that goes to make war on the rest of her seed.) Then I started praying in the Spirit and I saw a white sword come and attack this serpent or dragon from behind me. (This represents the Word which we've heard from the beginning. Isa. 30:21 and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.) It was a shiny metal and it pierced the dragon or serpent where its heart should have been but there was no heart, just a black hole. Then I remembered the Word of the Lord concerning the serpent in Gen 3:15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed (Jesus): he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. I thought, "Why pierce the place where the heart is supposed to be?" And the thought came to me, "Maybe to show me what complete darkness looks like?" The vision ended and I fell asleep. When I awoke, I thought "Why wasn't the head crushed?” (Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. The Dragon, the old serpents, head, Satan, was bruised by the seed of the Woman, Jesus, when He bound the strong man and told His seed to plunder him. The heel of Jesus is the end time body of Jesus who the serpent/Dragon will bruise by putting to death their flesh. Man-child, Woman and the Dragon Rev. 12:1-12 And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars; 2 and she was with child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered. 3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. 4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. 5 And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. The Man-child Reformers are Coming to Help: I had a vision early this Good Friday morning, 4-15-22. I saw two beautiful birds, one a grown up and another a baby. They were dressed in the same way with a blue (representing heavenly) coat and white (representing sanctified) breast. The Baby was nesseled underneath the right wing of his mother. Then I saw the baby take flight and very shortly landed by another bird dressed the same way. It then nesseled beneath the right wing of that bird. (I saw no egg, the baby had already been born and was able to fly. I knew immediately that this baby was the Man-child leaving its mothers care and caught up to the throne authority of the Father and under the shadow of His wings. Today is Passover, the crucifixion of the Lamb, Jesus, in the Man-child Body. On the third day, the 17th, was resurrection day or catching up to the throne day. 17 is the number of preservation through an evil time when the crucifiers do their work. 17 is the chosen number of “Q” also. Possibly a parallel is being shown between the Man-child body and Trump. Daniel was promoted over the Kingdom as Cyrus Conquered Babylon on the same night. Operation Disclosure: Thurs. 14 April Charlie Ward: GESARA/NESARA is happening this weekend. [It was working on the 1st but they said they would announce it to the public around Easter. BTW, Easter is the pagan name for the goddess Ishtar used in the KJV in Acts 12:4, but it is translated from the Greek Pascha, [Hebrew Pesach] meaning passover. Ishtar was the pagan goddess that fell down out of heaven into the Euprates river in an egg.) Considering my revelation of the Father and Mother of the Man-child I then I read to them Operation Disclosure's revelation of this day. “An hour before Sunrise Fri. morning 15 April the Planets Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn will be lined up in the Southeast Sky. (So we have the heavenly bodies of the Jupiter the King Planet, representing the Father, Venus, representing the mother planet, and then Mars, representing the war planet, and Saturn, representing the Devil planet. After the Father and Mother bring forth the Man-child and his throne authority war begins in the heavens and the devil as the dragon of Babylon is being cast down.) Then I read the first verse text sent in for this morning: Deb (Mat.21:5) Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass...(9) And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. (Hosanna means, “Oh Save, Heal, Deliver, oh Lord.) Back to our Rev. 12 text: 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. The War in Heaven 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8 And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 11 And they (The Saints) overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time. (Not only are the Saints given authority to cast down Satan and his demons from the second heaven to earth but when they return with the Lord they have a hand in casting him below the earth.) The Dragon Persecutes the Woman 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child. 14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. (As we will see, this could be representative of the “Watch the Water” Documentary where the venom of the serpent is found in the vaccines and is being distributed through the water supply in order to change the DNA. This could represent the seed of the serpent which would certainly be carrying the Woman away from the seed of Adam and Christ.) 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus: The Seed of The Serpent Covid Snake Venom Documentation: Interview Transcript of Dr. Ardis and Stew Peters By: holistic health online - 4/14/22 “Watch The Water” Documentary FULL Dr. Brian Ardis: It's an honor to be here. I just want to say thank you, everyone, who's put any faith and trust in me to be able to convey truth… I have to get this off my chest. My spirit is screaming to say something and bring it to the forefront to protect as many innocent lives as possible. That's all I've been trying to do since May of 2020. As you know, I read Anthony Fauci's memo on Remdesivir and when I actually clicked the links to the studies that he was quoting, saying that Remdesivir was safe and effective, I knew right away that he was lying. I knew right away that this drug was going to be used to mass murder a whole bunch of innocent people in America that did not need to die. Then he was going to sell the world on the idea in the media that they were dying of a virus, when in fact I knew they were being poisoned to death with this drug. I knew 30% of all people were going to experience multiple organ failure, kidney failure, septic shock and hypertension. That's what the study said. Now, we're a year and a half after that, and it's exactly the numbers that I said based on those studies. I'm pretty much called "the Remdesivir guy" everywhere I go, which is odd for a retired chiropractor to be referenced as a pharmaceutical guy. But it is true Remdesivir is a very toxic, deadly drug. There are a lot of medical doctors and professionals who will mention that, and it's proven to be ineffective. It is not just ineffective; it is very toxic and deadly. It is known and proven to actually injure specific organs in your body. It targets specific organs. This is a part of why I think my spirit is so moved to make sure this gets out. On January 21st of this year 2022 – so just two months ago – the FDA decided to authorize Remdesivir as the only drug to be authorized to be used in all newborns in this country. I can't even fathom the men or women in charge would actually do that. Since January 21st of 2022, it's the only drug to be used, only one allowed in hospitals for this entire pandemic. Now they're moving it into hospital care for children as young as newborns, 7 lbs. through the 18 year pediatric age range. It's the only authorized drug. There is nothing else that they're allowing for COVID 19 treatment. And I find that incredibly evil. And then they've also now canceled monoclonal antibody uses throughout the United States and all US territories for COVID 19 early treatment. And they're moving remdesivir to the infusion centers where they were using monoclonal antibodies as the only IV infusion drug allowed. I have been moved with one singular purpose since May of 2020. When I read Anthony Fauci's memo about Remdesivir, I felt this spark inside of me that I now had to go voice to the world, a warning to try to protect as many innocent lives as possible from being killed. So let's talk about what happened. It all started with a text. There's a medical doctor that I admire and love because he is nonstop from the beginning of COVID and has had the ability to project information and say to people around the world, you do not have to fear COVID. We have an answer. This guy has been on many stages with me. He still practices right now medicine and is an ER doc and he sent me a text. It actually was dated December 1st and I did not see it until like December 18th. I don't know how I didn't see it, but the text read, "Hey Dr. Ardis, if you got bit by a rattlesnake, would you go to a hospital and get anti venom?" I realized he must have seen an interview I did on Infowars. So Kate Dailey had done an interview with me and wanted to go over my thoughts of monoclonal antibodies. Well, I had been given some research studies that actually bothered me. I didn't like the idea based on the data in these research studies. I didn't think monoclonal antibodies were safe. Long term, not short term, but long term. Now, I read the actual text message, got in the shower, and while I was in the shower, I was sitting there thinking, why would he send me that text? It has nothing to do with COVID. So I'm going through this and I'm thinking about the text and all my brain keeps going to is why is he mentioning anti venom. Is there something about antivenom? So I went and got on the Internet and I wanted to know what is Antivenom. Only to find out that most antivenoms are monoclonal antibodies or polyclonal antibodies. And then I got it. Then I knew why he sent it to me. He wanted me to immediately see a question that he knew I would say, of course I'm going to go to the hospital and get anti venom. So in his mind, I think he knew this was a way or God inspired him to send me this message. Then go figure out why it is you would say yes. This is where it all started. I will repeat what Steve Kirsch said to an audience with me last month. He said, "If the CDC says something to do, you do the opposite. If the NIH says to do something, or the FDA, do the opposite." I'm sitting there realizing that anti venom is monoclonal antibodies, and then I immediately revert back to, in my own head, that I'm not trusting anything the CDC and or FDA says. Is our federal health agencies recommending monoclonal antibodies for COVID 19? No, they're not. They've been badmouthing monoclonal antibodies this whole time. They stripped them out of Florida when De Santis wanted to use them. And then January 21st of this year, they totally stripped out monoclonal antibodies. They do not want you touching monoclonal antibodies. They also didn't want you, from the beginning, to touch hydroxychloroquine. They also don't want you touching ivermectin. They also don't want you touching N acetyl cysteine (NAC) so that the things they tell you to avoid we know they're telling you to avoid because they work. So, I realized that the federal health agencies were actually not supporting monoclonal antibodies, and we believe that this is because they intentionally don't want people to recover. ...I cannot believe the amount of evil behind this pandemic with what I've realized since then. I realized, all of a sudden, that monoclonal antibodies are anti venom. The federal government doesn't want us using anti venom. Why are they bashing anti venom and why are we finding that anti venom works against COVID? Is it not a virus? Is it instead a venom? This is what I want to know. Is COVID a venom? Is this why they don't want you using monoclonal antibodies. Let me ask you a question. Do you believe the mass media is controlled? Of course, you actually do believe that. So you believe that whatever's being pumped out in the media is being orchestrated and controlled, across all of it. All right. So in my head, I was like, okay, how do they keep people on that story? So there's this mass media group who are telling a huge story. They're all telling the same story around the world. Whenever anybody says anything against that narrative, what do they use now to combat that in the mainstream media? Stew Peters: Disinformation? Dr Brian Ardis: Yeah, they call them fact checkers. Fact checking is the opposite of fact checking. The arbiters of lies are the fact checkers. By definition, fact checkers are there to divert you from truth and take you back to a narrative that is being sold worldwide, right? If it's true that COVID could actually be snake venom, (And how I came to that conclusion was they don't support the use of anti venom called monoclonal antibodies because they work.) The easiest way to figure that out is, has that ever been fact checked? I wanted to know was there ever any mention that the source could have been a snake? And oh, my God, I couldn't believe it. Over and over and over in the media in January and February of 2020 there are non-stop publications that the original source could either be from bats, snakes or pangolins. And every time the snake is mentioned, fact checkers – One, two, three, four, five, six, constantly fact check it and spin it back to the bats. There's no fact checking about bats. They keep you looking at bats. In the beginning, in January of 2020, the scientists inside of China said this can't be from bats. These bats hibernate. And it's the winter. When they did genetic sequences from the antibodies in the people who were sick in Wuhan, they found that their genetic sequence was not most like bats. They were most like two snakes. Proteins from the Chinese Krait and the King Cobra. Then I find in April of 2020 there was a research study published in France where they're finding that the receptors in the brain called nicotinic acetyl-choline-sterase receptors are actually bound most tightly to snake venom of the krait and cobra is what they're finding, and that the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 is most identical to Chinese krait and king cobra venom. Then I find out that there's an actual doctor, Bing Liu, who works at the University of Pittsburgh in May of 2020. He works in a computational lab dealing with genetic sequencing and he's been researching for five months; the sequencing of spike proteins, trying to solve the mystery of SARS-CoV-2 victims. He says he's got a "big thing", too; A big press release. They're going to actually announce all their findings. HEADLINE: Set back in the quest to understand coronavirus after a researcher is shot and killed. 37 year old Bing Liu was on the verge of making significant findings on COVID 19. And that's when I freaked out. Also, all of the clips in the media when they interviewed his boss, who is still at the University of Pittsburgh, he said that they were going to publish the work they found through Bing Liu's work in their department. That's never been published. I'd like to know why a year and a half later, it's never been published. Where is it? And then, all of a sudden, the realization came to me that this is the "great lie." When I say that they have lied to you about everything in relationship to COVID, they've even lied about the viral part of COVID. Now you have to understand here, my entire stance for the last year and a half has been to educate, warn people about hospital protocols because of a drug called Remdesivir. So in this realization that this could all be related to venom, something bothered me in the January 21st issue that came out from the FDA about Remdesivir in this 42 page document. It actually says there's only one drug that cannot be co administered with Remdesivir at the same time because it negates the antiviral properties of Remdesivir. And that drug is hydroxychloroquine. In January 2020, there's this incredible study that's published where over a ten year period a company has been funding a research study gene-mapping all the genes of the venoms and proteins and peptides inside of King Cobra venom. And in January 2020, they published their findings. Oh, ask me if I was shocked when I saw that there were 19 toxic venom proteins that they isolated that specifically target organs in your body. So I go to the funding part of this study. And I want to know who funded this and how many companies. It says that the majority of the company and studie's funding came from a company called Genentech. Genentech is a subsidiary of a company called Roche. I don't know anything about these companies. I never heard of them. The employees of Genentech, who were the authors of the study, said they have a conflict of interest because they actually hold shares and stocks in Roche. Genentech, I've never heard of Genentech. Is there a correlation between Genentech and Gilead? This is not a joke. I typed it on Internet. Is there a connection to Genentech and Gilead? Oh, my God. Gilead had bought two facilities that deal with biological studies from Genentech in 2011 and then brought 55 of their executives into Gilead in 2011 just when that King Cobra study started. Gilead is the manufacturer of Remdesivir. Guess what's been known since 2005. Guess what blocks the nicotine receptors in the brain stem from being injured by cobra venom and viper venom. Guess what drug does that? Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine. Remdesivir, packaged and stored as it is delivered to hospitals, comes in a little glass vial. It's called Lyophilized powder. It actually has a white yellowish tint. Guess what color snake venom has when it's stored; then to be diluted in sodium chloride or distilled water to be administered in an IV. Also, If people are buying King Cobra Venom Lyophilized (powdered form), they mix it in the same preparation as listed on the fact sheet for Remdesivir to actually take cobra venom or any other viper venom and inject it into horses to make monoclonal antibodies. When you read the emergency use authorization for Remdesivir, it states this from January 21st, that every practitioner who administers this to a COVID patient, pediatric or not, you have to evaluate for what's called prothrombin time. Prothrombin time means if it increases the trauma time, it means it's taking your blood's ability to coagulate and making it longer so it thins your blood. You can't clot, right? You will internally bleed to death with Remdesivir. It is stated on the emergency use authorization. Every patient has to have their prothrombin time checked before you give them Remdesivir and during treatment. Do you know what King Cobra venom does to the blood? It makes it so that I can't clot. You know, one of the evidences is it's prothrombin time. And if you look at the CDC website and the NIH website on the adverse events from Remdesivir, it actually says it increases prothrombin time, which is exactly what King Cobra venom does to the human body. And Remdesivir is the lyophilized peptide proteins of King Cobra venom. The University of Arizona published a paper last summer where they actually evaluated the blood samples and tissues of hundreds of people who died, from two different hospitals after being treated for COVID, which means they got Remdesivir. Why do some people who are seemingly perfectly healthy die from COVID and others don't? It's a question baffling experts during this pandemic. NEWS REPORT: A new research from the University of Arizona suggests we're closer to getting an answer. It seems to boil down to an enzyme that's also found in rattlesnake venom. What does this rattlesnake have to do with COVID 19 deaths? We turned much of my research in my lab towards COVID a year and a half ago. Chilton says he got blood samples from more than 100 patients in a New York ICU. They either had no COVID, or a mild, moderate or severe case of the virus. He did some fancy artificial intelligence in his lab and discovered two distinct patterns in the people who were dying from COVID. Dr. Brian Ardis: These patterns, number one, told us that the vital organs were in trouble, but the other looked as if they were being attacked by some enzyme. He says he then found the highest concentration of this enzyme that has ever been found in humans. These levels, attacking internal organs means multiple organ failure and death. So where do the rattlesnakes come into play? This enzyme is a humanized version, part of the same family as the active ingredient in snake venom. In simple terms, this enzyme related to rattlesnake venom that's been found in humans is likely causing tremendous damage, leading to COVID 19 deaths. And then they take you through all of the elevated enzymes in the blood samples of these people that are naturally found in rattlesnake venom and viper venom that are in levels they've never seen before. Do you wonder how they got there? 5 to 10 days of Remdesivir. They've known since 2005 if you inject a mouse with cobra venom, like they're doing with Remdesivir, injecting into your veins, it actually causes a cytokine storm in the lungs of all animals. I am convinced that COVID 19 is not a respiratory virus of any kind. It is actually venom poisoning. And they're using, I believe, synthesized peptides and proteins from venoms of snakes, and they're administering them and targeting them to certain people. Now, the amazing thing about these 19 toxins found in cobra venom, they're specifically sequenced to target specific organs, like the pancreas in a diabetic, like the heart in a heart disease patient, like the liver in a hepatitis patient. So if I die because I'm a cancer patient, or if I die from some sort of liver related function because I've had liver problems, if I die, then it'll be undetectable. It'll be untraceable. They're going to chalk it up, of course, to whatever underlying disease the person was suffering from. This is the most original of all bioweapons ever. Snake venom. I mean, we know how poisonous snakes are. This is the most obvious bioweapon ever. When I say this is the most evil thing I've ever encountered in my entire life. Could you ever have imagined the one greatest symbol of evil in all of Christendom. What is the symbol of evil in Christianity? The serpent. The serpent! Can you think of anything more evil than envenomating the entire world with snake venom and then injecting snake venom into your veins. And then using mRNA technology that they've been isolating from snake venom for years that they know are unusually stable, more stable than any other mRNA they've isolated from other natural organisms for decades. In 2015, they took mRNA from cobra venom, krait venom, and they actually wrapped the mRNA in nanoparticle hydrogel. How often have you heard about that with these new mRNA vaccines? And they made it even more stable. Then they actually added what's called dynabeads to those nanoparticles surrounding the mRNA of snake venom. And it made it even more stable and made it last longer. It made it easier to get inside of your cells. Do you know what dynabeads are? Magnetic metal nanoparticles. CLIP FROM BLACKLIST: The movie actor says, "Your prayers have been answered, Donald. Apparently I'm dying. I've been poisoned by someone within my organization. Someone with access to an offshore account that was used to fund recent attacks against me. 11 people had access to that account. Last evening, I called those 11 to a dinner to confront them. What happened next? I only remember pieces. The restaurant. What it looked like. Where it was. I remember holding a glass of wine, not drinking it. Although I'm sure I must have. I need you to find the pharmaco-toxicologist who I believe crafted the deadly cocktail and get the antidote from him. He's known as The Apothecary, a druggist whose potions hijack the immune system, causing any number of allergic reactions. Each one impossible to identify unless you know what you're looking for. An exotic venom might replicate a drug overdose. A personally tailored allergic reaction might trigger cardiovascular collapse. The apothecary can create embolisms, aneurysms, inhibit respiration, induce paralysis. We're looking for cortico-steroids. Broncho-dilator. Go, go, go. I've lived my entire adult life surrounded by the corona of death. Sometimes I even longed for it. But lately I find I'm not willing to go gentle into that good night. There's good news. The lab did find one distinct element in the molecular structure of the drops taken from Robert Ball's apartment. A peptide unique to the venom of the red-headed Krait." Dr. Brian Ardis: When I saw this movie clip, I knew. I knew I was right. I knew I was supposed to see that because it was confirmation to me that other people knew this was planned all along, which we've known this is a plan. [In the movie] the FBI figures out that it's actually peptides found in krait venom that poisoned Reddington. In the show, you learn that he was poisoned by drinking. It was put in his drink. And then I realized something. I realized how they've been spreading this. I had actually told my wife six months prior to this that it's very odd when you go on the CDC website that they have this wastewater surveillance tab on the COVID data tracker site. And they have 400 water testing sites in 37 cities in this country. What no one knows is the data from the CDC between January of 2020 and September of 2020 in relationship to their water testing of these 37 cities. They only let people know they were doing it in September of 2020 and now releasing that data. They now just announced two weeks ago, Walensky did, of the CDC, that they're now upping their water testing, they say, and have been reporting to media outlets that how it works is they are PCR testing our wastewater because we, as we get COVID 19, are pooping it in the water and we're going to test our wastewater. And we can tell the city when there's high amounts of SARS-CoV-2 in the water, they can actually tell that same community four or five days later is going to be an outbreak of COVID 19 in that city. Stew Peters: Wait a minute. That's backwards. Dr. Brian Ardis: That is completely backwards. If a community has had SARS-CoV-2 go through their body, they already had their symptoms when they eliminated the virus, supposedly the virus is out of their body and it ends up in your wastewater, you no longer have symptoms. How could you know and then be able to confirm in the future 4 to 5 days from now when we find it in your wastewater supply from your city. When we see it being shed in your water 4 to 5 days later, we can actually tell you there's going to be an outbreak in your city? It's not because there's an outbreak in the city, just like in the show Black List. I had to break this down for every aspect of COVID. One thing that's been very unique to COVID is this sense of loss of taste and smell that lasts for months, even years. Holy cow. I had no idea they already knew this happened to people when you drink it. For the people who are the natural healers or the individuals who've got bitten when they actually suck the venom of cobra into their mouth and then spit it out, they have this loss of taste and smell that can last 12 months to a year and a half. It's just from having been exposed in the mouth, which is exactly what's happening when it's being put into our water. Now, the thing about the water is this: they are using the water systems because they can target specific demographics. They are absolutely confident that the peptides they have chosen for COVID, circulated throughout the Earth and throughout the populace, and the vaccines and the mRNA in the vaccines specifically target organs like your spleen and your pancreas. For diabetics, that's a concern. Brain tissue, liver tissue, lung tissue and heart tissue. So if you already have a disease process of inflammation of any of those organs, you are the ones that they are targeting. Stew Peters: So are the people that work at my water treatment facility are aware of this? Are they in on it. Dr. Brian Ardis: No, no, the CDC is in on it. And the CDC is working with contracting companies to make sure they do it. There are nicotine receptors in your brainstem that control your diaphragm. Your diaphragm has to contract to be able to allow oxygen to get into your lungs. They are using krait venom and cobra venom and calling it COVID 19. You're drinking it. It's getting it into your brainstem and it's paralyzing your diaphragm's ability to breathe. I cannot say this enough. In the very beginning of COVID, it was being reported around the world that the least demographic represented in hospitals being hospitalized for COVID 19 were smokers. Around the world, it was less than 5% of everybody in hospitals were actually smokers. And they found that odd, only because this was a respiratory virus. Wouldn't it be that the people who are shoving tobacco and nicotine in their lungs would be more apt to be traumatized by a novel respiratory virus? But that's not what they saw. What was amazing is when this started getting reported in the first six months of COVID in 2020 around the world, guess what our federal government did? Anthony Fauci, the NIH, CDC and the FDA all came out and started pumping in the media that there's no better time than right now to quit smoking. And they actually lied to you and they lied to the entire world and said smokers are being hospitalized at rates higher than any other demographic. Well, the truth is, these nicotine receptors that are affected by cobra venom and krait venom that control your ability to breathe, was causing your oxygen levels to fall. On a pulse oximeter it looks like you have pneumonia. But you didn't. You were being paralyzed. Actually, you couldn't breathe and your heart rhythm was actually being dropped by the same receptors. Nicotine binds to those receptors and then the venom can't bind, so it can't paralyze your diaphragm. They knew and we're theorizing in France in April of 2020 when they figured out that it was the nicotine receptors that control the diaphragm's ability to breathe was what the spike protein was targeting, because it most looked like the neurotoxin of krait and cobra venom. They started theorizing that studies needed to be done, that we start giving people nicotine to protect them from getting COVID. It absolutely is known that nicotine is protective against COVID 19 because it stops these venoms from damaging and connecting to these nicotine receptors in your brain that control your diaphragms ability to breathe. But once you go into a hospital because you can't breathe, if you're not a smoker and you don't do the nicotine they put you on Remdesivir. Remdesivir is venom from a cobra. It's attaching itself to the nicotine receptors in your brain. You then can't breathe and then at the same time, it destroys the inside of your of your lungs through what's called a cytokine storm. That is what cobra venom does. And then they say they've got to put you on a ventilator. They're putting you on ventilators because then they can actually murder you by euthanizing you with drugs that act similarly to the venom. They have to sedate you because when they go to shove a tube down your trachea to get into your lungs, you'll pull it out. You'll pull it out, or you'll fight them as they're trying to shove it in there. So they have to sedate you. So they use morphine, fentanyl, Lorazepam or midazolam. These drugs act on the same centers of your brain that control the diaphragm's breathing. These drugs are euthanizing drugs, and they actually will put you on these protocols at the same time they have you on Remdesivir. The entire attempt is to slow down your breathing and your diaphragm and you will die. They've got the cocktail down pat. The average person dies on day nine of COVID 19, hospitalized treatment. They only authorize, per the NIH, two five day treatments of Remdesivir. It's amazing that the ninth day is the day that most people die in February of 2020. The Wall Street Journal was allowed to produce an article, and they particularly speak to the word “virus” in coronavirus pandemic. And in this article it actually states that the Latin definition for virus, originally and historically, virus means venom. So I started to wonder, well, what about the name Corona? Does it have a Latin definition or a definition at all? So I actually looked up what's the definition on Dictionary.com and it brings up 13 definitions. Corona religiously, ecclesiastically means gold ribbon at the base of a miter. I didn't know what a miter was, so I copied it and pasted it and then hit images. So this actually could read the pope's venom pandemic. It also can read Crown. Corona means crown also in Latin terms. Visually, we see kings represented with a crown symbol. So put that together for me. King Cobra venom. It actually could read King Cobra Venom pandemic. I've said this for about a year now that I actually believe this is more of a religious war on the entire world. I've been adamant about that. Actually, the message of Christ forever was He's the master healer and faith precedes all miracles, not vaccines. So why are we actually putting more faith in drugs? And why is a man of the cloth [the Pope] supposedly putting more faith in science and a drug than he is in telling people to pray to God? God's greatest creation was you, and you are made up of a DNA strand of genetics that are unique to you. If I was going to do something incredibly evil, how ironic would it be that the Catholic Church or whoever would use the one symbol of an animal that represents evil in all religion, which is either the snake or the dragon, which is actually just a snake with legs. You take that snake or that serpent and you figure out how to isolate genes from that serpent. And get those genes of that serpent to insert itself into your God given created DNA. I think this was the plan all along; to get the serpents, the evil ones, DNA into your God created DNA and they figured out how to do it with this mRNA technology, they are using mRNA, which is mRNA extracted from, I believe, the king cobra venom. And I think they want to get that venom inside of you and make you a hybrid of Satan. No longer just belonging to God or a creation of God's. When I say that the mRNA inside of the Pfizer and Moderna shots is actually derived from snake venom. Yeah, it just sounds crazy, right? But I want you to read from July 6th, last year, 2021, the co-founder of Moderna read the title, show it to the camera. Moderna is using mRNA technology to treat venomous snake bites. It goes on to say that he's going to help create and co-found a company based in San Francisco that actually is going to solely work on creating anti venom drugs for snakebites. Guess who funds this thing? The Department of Defense, the Welcome Trust Fund and the United Nations. Incredible. All right. So this is great. Let's just wrap our heads around that for a second. How many snake bite victims are there? It's like 100,000 people. 100,000 people will die from snake bites. But this is enough for the Department of Defense and for the United Nations to get on board and to fund such a venture? Dr. Hoffe out of Canada after evaluating his vaccinated patients, was able to determine those who had received them had elevated d-dimers, and he checked that because they all complained of extreme fatigue, like long hauler's COVID symptoms. And he was enlightened to do this d-dimer test and then found every single one of them had elevated d-dimer. Now I want you to read on Medscape: What is it that medical doctors are trained to look for when they see elevated d-dimers? So read the title and I want you to read the fifth bullet point. How are elevated d-dimer levels interpreted? Snake venom poisoning. So even medical doctors are trained to look for elevated d- dimers and to know that this is a possible snake venom poisoning. And notice they didn't use the word snake bite victim or snake venom poisoning. And I was like, Oh, my God, it's in the mRNA shots for sure. This is why you're seeing this. They even talk about it on here that d-dimer is a reflection of fibrinogen and its ability to control coagulation, and that it's usually at normal low levels inside of people who are fine. But then these d-dimers get extremely elevated after snake venom poisoning. The kidney failure caused by Remdesivir is the number one organ targeted by King Cobra venom. It's the number one. There isn't anything in relationship to symptom-a-tology of COVID 19 injuries post COVID 19 vaccines treatment with Remdesivir that cannot be correlated back in research studies to venom from cobras, kraits and other vipers. So when somebody gets bit by a snake, particularly a king cobra or a krait, what is the long term prognosis for these people? If you have been injected you've had gene sequences put into you or peptides put into you from a venom. And that actually continues, particularly one bite after another. Those disease processes become even more exaggerated. This is why they want to continue doing the booster shot program… FOLLOW-UP: Dr. Ardis Answers the Top Questions About “Venom Theory”: https://www.brighteon.com/14d31e23-e80f-4247-a882-c148ac4ea53f Transcript of the first 15 minutes: Dr. Ardis: “I've worried that the information was going to be so monstrous that many people would deflect immediately and not trust the information or not want to consider even looking at it. I was hoping that when I brought this to Mike Adams that any gaps in the story would be filled in by other experts in their fields. I'm not an expert in all fields. I'm not an expert in water supplies. So I just want to clear up this water supply thing. (With the help of Mike Adams.) The one thing that's been the biggest negative has been people saying, “There's no way this is in the water. How can you even say they're poisoning the water with snake venom?” etc. I want people to understand something; water has not been my story. This is not even the biggest part of the story. I've just wanted to save people's lives from the hospital protocols. As I have said from the very beginning; for the last 2 years, “Whatever the bioweapon is, even when I thought it was just a virus engineered in a lab, that it's not very good or effective because less than 1% of the entire world population has died from it. I never thought the whole “water source thing” was dangerous or horrific and everyone should focus on the water. (In fact Stew Peters was the one who came up with the title for our “Watch the Water" interview and documentary.) Mike Adams: About the 'water thing'; I find it a little bit surprising that some people were giving you push-back on the water issue. It's as if they've forgotten the decades of water Fluoridation. The water supply has been meticulously and systematically poisoned with toxic fluoride , which is a near toxic chemical that is dripped into the water supply. It usually comes in the form of a powder (just like Remdesivir) and then it's reconstituted into a solution. Every municipal water treatment center has a machine that drips quote “the proper dose” of the poison into the water supply folks! So how can people say they're not poisoning us in the water? And secondly, What about Flint Michigan and all the lead poisoning that occurred in that event? What about the poisoning of Du Ponte chemicals in the water supply? I mean, come on people! To say that you can't be poisoned in the water supply is just ignorant!… Dr. Ardis: When people keep asking me, “What proof do you have that it's in the water?” How about if you just look at what the CDC's been doing; What they've actually been testing this whole time looking for the bioweapon called SARS COV 2. They have 400 water testing sites in different cities all around the country. They are doing PCR testing on your water looking for the weapon. They are looking for this so called “virus” in your water. (Some argue but that's the waste water they are testing.) But they are gonna filter that water and it's going to become your drinking water and I can't see any evidence yet that the CDC has proven that they're not only testing the water for SARS COV 2 (this really deadly pathogen according to them) and then at the same time filtering it out of your water before returning it back to you. I've never seen that evidence or read anything about that. All I've seen is, “We are testing all these sites; looking for SARS COV 2 in the water and they've been using this sole method for predicting outbreaks in your city! They are only looking at the water! So if this is what they are using to predict outbreaks in your town then logically it must be being recirculated back into the water source (that's coming through our taps.) So, I just want people to know, if the CDC is looking in your water for SARS COV 2, maybe we should find out if they are actually filtering it out of the water as they find it! Mike Adams: So, what they are testing is waste water. But as you say the sewage water gets treated and turned back into drinking water. What you say is true that what is coming out of someones tap was coming out of someone's toilet up the river. So the question becomes, “Are these water districts who treat the water removing SARS COV 2? Do they remove potentially snake venom peptides (from pharmaceuticals or other sources). What are they removing or not removing and we don't have an answer to that question yet. Dr. Ardis: I don't know either. But the enlightening fact is that governments around the world have been doing waste water surveillance testing for SARS COV 2 this whole time. So my question is, “Have they been poisoning the water right under our noses and we never knew it?” People are saying, “How did Ardis come to this?” The truth is and I really want to convey this point; The story for me is NOT the water. My whole agenda for 2 years has been to save peoples lives from (these evil) hospital protocols. It just took a new direction when I got a text from Dr. Richard Bartlett that said, “If you got bit by a rattle snake would go get anti-venom?” Ever since then the entire scope of Covid -19 and the reality of what it really is has completely transformed, regardless of the source of how they are distributing it! There is enough evidence now to start looking to see. Is it true that the bioweapon itself is being distributed through gain of function or they've just been dumping synthetic peptides of venomous into the water, or aerosolizing them; however they are king distributed. Is it true that the bioweapon is snake venom or animal venom peptides and if so go test the people. The University of Arizona said that individuals treated for Covid 19 whose tissue and blood samples were studied; that the amount of this enzyme called SPLA-2 that was present looked like snake venom had been coursing through their veins. This is the same enzyme found in rattle snake venom. We need to start looking at, “Is it possible that these components found in venom are orchestrating this whole plan. Because when you start looking at the mRNA vaccine side effects; almost all of them can be tied to a specific snake venom component. You can also look at the SARS COV 2 side effects like loss of taste and smell. These are actually side effects of snake venom and not customarily a side effect of viruses which has been very “mysterious.” Mike Adams: So I'm glad that you mentioned multiple vectors of exposure because Dr. Lee Merrick believes that this has probably been distributed in cities as a contact poison to distribute it through skin penetrating nano particles which were part of the Eco Health Alliance's proposal to DARPA for release in China in the bat caves. You mentioned water as a vector and also an aerosolized release as a possible vector. I think what you are trying to convey to people is, “Hey, don't get stuck on the 'water'. There are multiple vectors. The point is maybe it's in the air, maybe it's on contact surfaces, maybe it's in the water, but these people are being deliberately exposed to these nano particles that you're saying were derived from the structure of venom peptides because those molecules are extremely toxic and are generating the side effects that we're seeing. Is that a fair summary of what you are saying? Dr. Ardis: Yes. By the way, Dr. Lee Merrick texted me this morning and said, “Dr. Ardis, You're going to have to show me evidence about this water sourcing and snake venom.” And I texted her back and said, “Dr. Merrick, you're missing the point. I need everybody to go look at the weapon! I don't care where it is (or the mode of distribution.) Look Dr. Merrick, they are finding it in the water. Our government agencies are spending millions of dollars finding it in the water. It's obviously in the water also; whether through shedding in the feces of they are actively poisoning us, just as with fluoride.” Just know the weapon is venom. Treat it like an envemomation and you'll solve the riddle of the mystery of SARS COV 2 “infections” and the side effects of the vaccines, and the hospital protocols being used for Covid 19 “infections.” They all have something in common. They all find these snake venom- like properties in the side effects and in the enzymes in the bodies of Covid 19 patients. Mike Adams: Yeah. That's what's fascinating. It was shocking how closely the symptoms match up. And also you've provided a tremendous amount of documentation. So there's been a lot of due diligence on your part. Scientific American absolutely did publish a story in 2020 that is mentioned in your presentation that talks about the SARS COV 2 has the most similarity with snakes because of the code ons and the genetic similarity and CNN covered it as well as other scientific journals etc. So when people say there's no research to back this up; I don't know what they're watching or what they are not watching we put it all up on the screen for everybody. Dr. Ardis: The thing that kind of solidified it all for me was when the British Medical Journal Global News published last year that, “Right now there are 2 health crisis going around at the same time around the world which were, “Snakes bites and Covid 19.” They didn't say, “Bat bites and Covid -19.” They have one research and development in common; only one opportunity to handle both crisis. The code-on usage bias, as we showed from the studies in Jan. 2020 is a specific term that specifies the genetic origin. Well, this study found that the code-on usage bias for SARS COV 2 was most identical to the Chinese common Krait and the King Cobra. NOT bats. SNAKES. Mike Adams: Well, you've brought a lot of research to the table and one of the reactions today from the Left wing media is, “Oh, this is crazy. Snake venom. Crazy conspiracy. Where do these people get this stuff?” Right? They are attacking you and Stew Peters. (who by the way has had his house SWATED by the FBI twice in the past week; Go figure.) But it's all in the research. It's all in the articles. But the funny thing is, by attacking you over this they are forcing people to think about snake venom for the first time. Dr. Ardis: And the British Medical Journal is saying that the two main crisis around the world right now are snake bites and Covid -19. So maybe we should be looking at SNAKE VENOM! ... Doctors Don't Even Know! Millions of People are Swallowing Venom-Derived Pharmaceuticals Made from Pit Vipers, Gila monsters, Leeches, Rattlesnakes and Death-stalker Scorpions Thursday, April 14, 2022 by: Mike Adams https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-04-14-millions-people-swalling-venom-derived-pharmaceuticals-rattlesnakes-pit-vipers-death-stalker-scorpions.html PHARMA SNAKES: Thirteen Irrefutable FACTS About Snake Venom, Big Pharma and Biological Weapons Friday, April 15, 2022 by: Mike Adams As the concept of “venom theory” has reverberated around the world this week, many people are shocked to realize how many pharmaceutical medications are derived almost entirely from rattlesnake venom, Gila Monster reptile venom, pit viper venom, scorpion venom and other such sources. A pain treatment drug named Prialt (see Prialt.com) is actually synthesized by copying the poison of the Magical Cone Snail (conus magus). This poison produces hallucinations, confusion, altered states of consciousness and more. The insert sheet for the Prialt drug carries bizarre warnings such as, “Patients have become unresponsive or stuporous while receiving PRIALT.” Patients who are made unconscious by the drug may appear to be perfectly conscious, almost as if they are in a zombie state. The warning sheet explains, “During these episodes, patients sometimes appear to be conscious and breathing is not depressed. If reduced levels of consciousness occur, discontinue PRIALT until the event resolves…” We acknowledge that drugs like Prialt may have practical, beneficiary applications for people who are suffering chronic pain, yet who are unable to take highly addictive opioids for a variety of reasons. However, we take issue with the fact that drug companies and doctors seem to be hiding the origins of these medications from patients. Most doctors aren't even aware that toxins, poisons and venoms are used as the templates to synthesize extremely toxic peptides that are frequently used in prescription medications, including drugs for heart attacks, diabetes, high blood pressure and more. Reptile venoms can be weaponized and turned into large-scale chemical weapon systems Even worse, these reptile venoms can be weaponized and mass produced, then used in a large-scale chemical attack on the population by introducing these toxins into food, water, air or contact surfaces. Just as fentanyl can be weaponized through aerosolization and drone delivery, these reptile venom peptides can also be weaponized and used to mass murder large numbers of people. Some observers believe this has already happened, and that the mRNA “vaccines” currently being injected into people may deposit instructions for venom peptide synthesis into the cells of the body. If true, this would turn your body into a reptilian venom factory from the inside. It might also explain why so many side effects of covid vaccines seem to align so closely with the known effects of envenomation (being bitten by a snake, a viper, a scorpion, etc). Dr. Bryan Ardis covers this in detail in part 3 of my recent interview with him. Many people say this third part is by far the most informative, and it's all backed by meticulous scientific research: Brighteon.com/0d74ac38-dcf9-44e6-99f6-96c6a59abcf9 As ToxinTech.com explains on their website, touting the pharmaceutical potential for the venom peptides in their library: The biological function of animal venoms is to immobilize and kill prey or predator in seconds to minutes… venom toxins target… neuromuscular, cardiovascular, hemostatic and other life functions. Toxins bind to targets with high affinity and are chemically stable. For the record, we do not ascribe nefarious intent on the part of ToxinTech. However, we recognize that ToxinTech's venom library may be exploited and misused by bad actors to create weapons of mass destruction, all based on venom peptides which are engineered to kill. Interestingly, the ToxinTech home page feature image asks a rather blunt question that could be easily misconstrued: Designed Toxins… Have a Target? In the context of biosciences, this means a molecular target such as a specific enzymatic pathway or channel such as calcium channels or sodium channels. But to the mind of a bad actor with nefarious intent, they might wish to target humanity, for example, with a venom-based depopulation weapon. 13 irrefutable facts about snake venom, Big Pharma and bioweapons We've spent much of this week researching the venom peptide industry, and what we've found is rather astonishing. In fact, I think it's one of the biggest stories in the history of modern pharmaceutical medicine. Here's what we know so far: Fact #1 – Big Pharma routinely uses venom and venom peptides for drug discovery. Around 150,000 animal species are known to produce toxins, and scientists estimate that 20 million toxins exist (only a small fraction have been studied). Fact #2 – Massive venom libraries already exist (20,000+ venom peptides) and are marketed to the pharma industry for drug discovery. Two such companies are Venomtech (UK) and ToxinTech (USA). Fact #3 – One venom library company celebrates how its venoms for Big Pharma are able to “immobilize and kill prey .. in seconds or minutes.” They explain that venoms are “Perfected by millions of years of evolution” in order to target “neuromuscular, cardiovascular, hemostatic and other life functions.” (ToxinTech.com home page, sourced April 14, 2022) This means that venom library licensing companies recognize the toxicity of the compounds they are offering to drug companies. In fact, they state so in their own marketing materials. Fact #4 – Reptile venoms can be weaponized and made into biological weapons. Protein sequences are provided by the venom library companies, allowing gain-of-function research to engineer venom peptides into viral payloads or mRNA therapeutics. Because venoms are poisons, the knowledge of how to engineer and synthesize those poisons at the amino acid level is also knowledge of how to build biological or chemical weapons. Fact #5 – Dozens of pharmaceuticals derived entirely from animal venom already exist. Many are FDA approved. A full chart has been published by Natural News and is also shown below. Fact #6 – Pharma appears to be HIDING the venom origins of their products, making few or no disclosures on marketing websites about the actual origin of their drugs. You would have to read the insert sheets and understand latin names to know that their drugs come from animal venom. Fact #7 – Nearly zero doctors or patients know about the venom origins of venom-derived medications. Thus, patients are swallowing actual reptile venom molecules but being told by their doctors that it is “medication.” The FDA's approving of a venom as a medication does not magically transform it into something that is non-toxic. The toxicity is simply reframed as “therapeutic” by the FDA, which then hands the pharmaceutical company a market monopoly to sell a molecule that was actually pirated from nature. Fact #8 – Venom molecules and venom peptides are mass synthesized in pharmaceutical factories. This is a common practice. This is referred to by numerous scientific and bioscience resources, including the World Economic Forum. Fact #9 – Venoms and venom peptides are synthesized as “chemically stable” (ToxinTech.com) and are routinely delivered via liquid solutions without any preservatives. (They need no special preservatives to maintain their structure and function.) Nanocarriers are also available to further stabilize the venom peptides. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31223083/). Fact #10 – Venoms can be touted by pharmaceutical companies as “naturally occurring,” because they are. Yet this label can be misleading since people equate the word “natural” with “healthful” or “safe.” Fact #11 – Because venom peptides are stable in solution, they can be weaponized and mass produced, then distributed via air, water, food or contact surfaces. This means that it is entirely plausible that mass poisoning via venom peptides could be accomplished through the water supply, or the food supply, or dropped on cities via drones, etc. These are not outlandish ideas in the least. The US Dept of Homeland Security just recently conducted chemical weapons simulation tests in New York City, releasing “non-toxic gas” in city parks and subway stations in order to study this very thing. If it's a “crazy conspiracy theory,” then somebody needs to tell DHS, because they've been drilling for this exact scenario. Fact #12 – Some toxins are skin-penetrating and can be absorbed merely by TOUCHING. (Not a venom, but a toxin or poison.) This was all admitted in an Ecohealth Alliance proposal to DARPA, as covered in this story: Leaked DARPA document, DRASTIC analysis confirms attack on humanity using aerosolized, skin-penetrating nanoparticle spike proteins. Fact #13 – Venoms and venom peptides produced for pharma are so stable that they survive stomach acid, which means the venom peptides are stable in solution, including in rather acidic (reactive) solutions. This means they do not automatically break down in city water, either. If venom toxins were not highly stable molecules, they would not be very good venoms in the first place. As ToxinTech explains, “millions of years of evolution” has perfected the functionality of these molecules.
Matt 21:1-9 “21:1. And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples, 21:2. Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you: and immediately you shall find an ass tied and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to me. 21:3. And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye that the Lord hath need of them. And forthwith he will let them go. 21:4. Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: 21:5. Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek and sitting upon an ass and a colt, the foal of her that is used to the yoke. 21:6. And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.” “21:7. And they brought the ass and the colt and laid their garments upon them and made him sit thereon. 21:8. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way. 21:9. And the multitudes that went before and that followed cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.” Introit Psalm 21:20,22. “21:20. But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.” “21:22. Save me from the lion's mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.” 20 Tu autem, Domine, ne elongaveris auxilium tuum a me; ad defensionem meam conspice. 22 Salva me ex ore leonis, et a cornibus unicornium humilitatem meam.

20:30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. 20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. 20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? 20:33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him. 21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 21:2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 21:3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 21:4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. 21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, 21:7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. 21:8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. 21:9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. 21:10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? 21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. 21:14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, 21:16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, 5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. 6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, 7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. 8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. 9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. 10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? 11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. 12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, 16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there. 18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. 19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? 24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? 26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. 27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. 29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him. 33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

-Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, -Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once.- This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, -Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.'-- The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, -Hosanna to the Son of David- Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord- Hosanna in the highest-- And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, -Who is this-- And the crowds said, -This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.-- -Matthew 21-1-11, ESV-
Welcome to In Your Embrace Daily, a series of short daily reflections on the Gospels from the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. Today's reading for the Palm Sunday is from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew. Matthew 21:1-9 (DRE) “At that time, when Jesus drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples, Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me. And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go. Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke. And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them. And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way: And the multitudes that went before and that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/in-your-embrace/message

“And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.” Matthew 21:9 KJV
What are the rabbi’s expectations for the Messiah? What is it that they are looking for?They expect the Messiah to be a Judge, a Savior and a King. In the book of Judges, the children of Israel fall away from the Torah. They would then come under oppressive kings. They would then cry out for deliverance. The Lord would hear their cry and raise up Judges to deliver them. These saviors had the characteristics of Moses. Yeshua is our judge. Yeshua is also our Savior. The God of our fathers raised up Yeshua, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Acts 5:30-31 In Jewish thought, the rabbis understand that the term, “son of David” is a term for the Messiah. They believe that King David is a “type” of the Messiah. He is regarded as the “ideal” king of Israel. The “son of David” is a title for the Messiah. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. Matthew 21:9 The Good shepherd, who is Messiah Yeshua, is going to rule and reign over the nation of Israel, who are likened unto sheep. They were divided into Northern Kingdom and Southern Kingdom. Yeshua, the “Son of David”, will rule and reign over a United kingdom, even as King David ruled over a United kingdom. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Luke 19:37-39 (KJV) 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. Acts 2:36 (KJV) 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Psalm 118:25-26 (KJV) 25 Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. 26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord. Acts 4:12 (KJV) 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Matthew 5:8 (KJV) 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 (KJV) 3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. Hebrews 12:14-17 (KJV) 14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. Acts 5:1-3 (KJV) 1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Acts 5:4 (KJV) 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. Titus 1:12-13 (KJV) 12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Acts 5:5 (KJV) 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 1 Corinthians 11:27-30 (KJV) 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. Revelation 2:5 (KJV) 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Colossians 1:25-28 (KJV) 25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 2 Timothy 4:2 (KJV) 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. Mark 16:17-18 (KJV) 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Mark 14:12 (KJV) 12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
