Rev Sam Bostock considers the blessing and rejection of Jesus . Matthew 11 & Isaiah 35
The parallels between Israel at the time of Jesus and America today are uncanny. There was an establishment class of political and religious leaders that he confronted who used very similar manipulation tactics to what the political leaders and intelligence agencies use today. During my speech at the Patriot Church Conference, I lay out five similarities between America today and Israel of Jesus' time, as well as the example Jesus set for us to deal with corrupt leaders. Hint: If you read Matthew 23, you'll see that Jesus wasn't nice and gentle when it came to dealing with corrupt leaders. In fact, Donald Trump used many of the same tactics Jesus did: Bypass the current system and go straight to the people, point back at the Pharisees/MSM/Politicians and expose them as liars and hypocrites for everyone to see.

As we come to close this chapter in Matthew's gospel, we learn of Yeshua's tenderness to the repentant, but we also learn of his harshness upon the unrepentant. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. Thus, the house that was once Yahweh's is not called their house, and it is left solitary and waste.
All the righteous blood shed upon the earth would be charged to the scribes and Pharisees of Yeshua's generation. Why? This lesson contains pertinent information about the phrase "this generation" that is necessary to understand before moving into Matthew 24.
In this text, Yeshua says that he sends prophets to the scribes and Pharisees. I thought it was Yahweh who sent the prophets? Listen to learn what Yeshua means and how this thread runs through the entire New Testament.
The actions of the scribes and Pharisees were a self-incriminating testimony. They were sons of their fathers, and would fill up the measure of their fathers sins. How would they do this?
The Pharisees claimed they were not like their fathers. Their fathers murdered the prophets. Who were their fathers? The answer to this question is easy, if we allow the Bible to interpret the Bible. This begins the last of 8 woes upon the scribes and Pharisees of Yeshua's day.
The Pharisees were so focused on the small things that they neglected the big things. So focused on washing the outside of the cup that they forgot to make sure the inside was washed. We are pros at making ourselves look good, but looking good is not what matters. We need to be changed from the inside, out.
Yeshua begins to pronounce the woes of a prophet upon the scribes and Pharisees. He does not ease up on them, but calls them hypocrites, blind guides, and fools. Why such harshness?
Holiness is not outward show. Outward show can be performed without there ever being a inward change of heart. Our good deeds should flow from the inside out, but we should always give ALL of the glory to our heavenly Father that enables us.
It's good to have leaders, teachers in a community, but leaders can become corrupt. Corrupt leaders leads to corrupt citizens and lopsided teaching. Listen to learn about the corrupt, first century leaders, and about their incorrect method in teaching Biblical law.
