Y
THE JEWS WHO FAUGHT AND KILLED THE
LORD JESUS WERE COMING FROM WHERE?
WERE THEY UNDER THE LAW?
It is the 200th message.
I know that the people will take me for a mad man, meanwhile I am just a slave of Jesus Christ, sent by him to enlighten the people so that they should no longer seduce and deceive themselves. For I am a Jew, neither of flesh, nor of blood, nor of spoken language, nor of the fleshly law (that of Moses), but of faith by Jesus Christ. I did not need to go in a school or in a country in order to reveal the wonders of God to the people, for it is the Lord Jesus who reveals me all what I announce, and he is the one that makes me the veritable Jew. In truth, I reveal you the Jews who had fought the Lord Jesus and the reasons for which they were acting as such.
From King Saul, King David and King Solomon, the Jewish people so far had only one king and they feared or obeyed to the only law that God gave to Moses. But during the reign of king Solomon, more precisely at his old age, the women turned his heart after other gods, what offended the Eternal God as 1 Kings 11/4-6 says: “For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and did not wholly follow the Lord, as David his father had done”. As the women turned the heart of Solomon away from the Eternal God, he (the Eternal God) therefore promised him to tear the kingdom and to give it to his servant after his death. For it is what 1 Kings 11/11-13 says: “Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this has been your practice and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant. Yet for the sake of David your father I will not do it in your days, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son, for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem that I have chosen”.
And this servant of king Solomon was Jeroboam who, after he came out of Jerusalem, he met prophet Ahijah sent by the Eternal to tell him that he will reign on the ten tribes of Israel; that is why 1 Kings 11/29-37 says: “And at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had dressed himself in a new garment, and the two of them were alone in the open country. Then Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces. And he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and will give you ten tribes (but he shall have one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), because they have forsaken me and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and they have not walked in my ways, doing what is right in my sight and keeping my statutes and my rules, as David his father did. Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes. But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and will give it to you, ten tribes. Yet to his son I will give one tribe, that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen to put my name. And I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel”. Therefore, after the death of King Solomon, his son named Rehoboam succeeded him and he reigned on the twelve tribes. But it is during the reign of Rehoboam that the words of the Eternal God were accomplished: “I will tear your kingdom and I will give it to your servant…”. That is therefore where the division started.
When Jeroboam became king according to the prophecy of prophet Ahijah, he reigned on ten tribes of Israel and Rehoboam son of Solomon remained king of the only tribe of Judah. The people of Israel that had only one king from Saul to Solomon, passing by David later found themselves with two kings, and it is from this division that come the Jews who fought the Lord Jesus. At a given time, the king of Israel who was Jeroboam and who reigned on the ten tribes did not feel to be a great king because he was seeing how the people of his kingdom were going time to time to worship God in the temple that King Solomon belt in Jerusalem, the town which was not under his reign. Therefore, not being happy to see his people going in Jerusalem to worship God, he (Jeroboam) separated from the law of Moses by creating his own god, the god of monuments and of golden calves. He then dragged the ten tribes that he was leading to despise or to no longer respect the Ten commandments of Moses and to confide themselves to the idols. That is why up to today, the people are in this practice in Israel. Jeroboam has therefore given another god to the people of Israel by thus creating the priests on the 15 of August, the historic date of the creation of the priests.
That is why 1 Kings 12/28-33 says: “So the king took counsel and made two calves of gold. And he said to the people, “You have gone up to Jerusalem long enough. Behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.” And he set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan. Then this thing became a sin, for the people went as far as Dan to be before one. He also made temples on high places and appointed priests from among all the people, who were not of the Levites. And Jeroboam appointed a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he made. And he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made. He went up to the altar that he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, in the month that he had devised from his own heart. And he instituted a feast for the people of Israel and went up to the altar to make offerings”. The same, it is for this people, leaded by the king of Israel (Jeroboam) that the Eternal God says: “If you return, O Israel, declares the Lord, to me you should return. You remove your detestable things from my presence, and do not waver, and if you swear, ‘As the Lord lives,’ in truth, in justice, and in righteousness, then nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory” (Jeremiah 4/1-2).
In fact, all those who were under the reign of King Jeroboam have gone astray because they no longer feared the Eternal God; they did no longer observe the law of Moses and were not longer attentive to the prophecies of the prophets. Meanwhile the prophets announced that an offspring would come out of Jesse, on whom all the people will carry their hope; and this offspring is Jesus Christ born in the tribe of Judah where he grew, was baptised and received the Holy Spirit. Among the prophets who have then announced the coming of Jesus Christ, comes Moses who said: “The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people” (Acts 3/22-23).
When the Lord Jesus started his mission, he was confronted to the Jews of Jeroboam who have ignored the law of Moses to the profit of other gods, for they were living the seduction. It is the reason for which they were saying: “we are the children of Abraham…” so without knowing and receiving Jesus Christ, as it is the case of the majority today. Since these Jews of Jeroboam did not know the law, that is why the Lord Jesus told them: “But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed” (John 7/49). They did not know the law of Moses but they were saying: “We believe in Moses”. And it is the reason for which Jesus Christ still said to them: “Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?” (John 5/45-47).
These Jews who were under the reign of Jeroboam did not understand the holy word, for when Jesus was saying to them: “I am the bread of life that has come down from heaven, he who eats this bread will live eternally, and this bread that I give him is my flesh”, it brought them to treat him (Jesus Christ) more of a mad man. That is why John 6/52 says: “The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”. It is still said: “Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?” (John 10/20). Finally, all what the Lord Jesus was teaching became a subject of mockeries for the Jews of Jeroboam. That is why John 8/48-53 says: “The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.’ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?”.
However, when the Lord Jesus was carrying his mission in the neighbouring towns of Israel, the Jews of Jeroboam threatened all those who recognised him to be Christ. That is why John 9/22 says: “His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Jesus to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue”. It is still said: “Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him” (John 7/13).
Given that the Jews of Jerusalem neither knew Jesus Christ nor the law of the prophets, that is why they found it good for the Lord Jesus Christ to be killed because he was delivering the people during the Sabbath day and also because he was saying that he is the Son of God and that he and his Father are one person. That is why John 10/30-36 says: “I and the Father are one. The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.” Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came and Scripture cannot be broken do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?”, and John 5/17-18 says: “But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working. This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God” But it is with lamentations that the Lord Jesus was saying: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!” (Matthew 23/37).
The Jews of Jeroboam did not know the law of Moses, but they nevertheless agreed to condemn Jesus Christ by citing Leviticus 24/16 that says: “Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death”. Basing themselves on this verse, they brought him to Pilate who did not find him guilty of what the Jews of Jeroboam were accusing him. That is why John 19/4-7 says: “Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.” So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!” When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.” The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God”. And John 19/12 also says: “From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar”.
The same, it is said: “So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” (John 18/33-35). In addition, when Jesus Christ was on the cross, Pontius Pilate wrote an inscription which read: “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews”, but it did not please the Jews of Jeroboam who reposted. That is why John 19/19-22 says: “Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.” Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written”.
The Jews of Jeroboam fought the truth up to the death of Jesus Christ, they even attacked the apostles and they were happy of their murders. That is why Acts 12/1-3 says: “About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. He killed James the brother of John with the sword, and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread”. The same, the Jews of Jeroboam were animated of the spirit of Lucifer, that is why they sometimes remained without eating and drinking and only thought of eating and drinking till they have killed Apostle Paul. That is why Acts 23/12 says: “When it was day, the Jews made a plot and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killed Paul” And Acts 21/35-36 also says: “And when he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd, for the mob of the people followed, crying out, “Away with him!”. Next, it is said: “But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked men of the rabble, they formed a mob, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the crowd. And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also, and Jason has received them, and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.” And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard these things. And when they had taken money as security from Jason and the rest, they let them go” (Acts 17/5-9).
We have to understand that the tribes that were under the reign of Jeroboam and that he diverted from the law of Moses are those that were fighting the prophet, Jesus Christ and the apostles. Nevertheless, some Jews have repent, but others continued to attach themselves to the customs instituted by the priests of Jeroboam who had filled Jerusalem and who have filled the world today. We must all the same remind that six centuries after the death of Jesus Christ, certain Jews separated from the customs of Jeroboam and followed the route of Islam, where Jesus Christ is known in the name of Issa. We must still remind that very few Israelis remained in the faith in Jesus Christ. The Jews that were leaded by Jeroboam have despised the law of Moses and the Lord Jesus Christ, and up to today, the majority seduce themselves to be Jews meanwhile they are not in truth. That is why Revelation 2/9 says: “I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan”. Certain Jews of Jeroboam remained attached to the monuments, to the customs of the priests and others to the sacrifices of sheep. But do they know that the Lord Jesus Christ has destroyed the death by giving his life and by making the soul to become immortal by the practice of his life? (2 Timothy 1/9-10).
In summary, those who fought so that the Lord Jesus should be killed are the Jews who were under the reign of Jeroboam because not knowing the law of Moses, they found that Jesus Christ was somebody who had to be killed, not only the Lord Jesus Christ, but also those who preached the gospel of Christ in truth, such as Apostle Peter, Apostle Paul… The same today, he who preaches the same truth like the apostles by the same spirit that they received, whose names are written in the bible, will also be fought, and even killed. Champi Dino, apostle of Jesus Christ, you will kill my flesh, but you will not kill the truth which is in me and that vivifies my soul, and which will also vivify those who will have courage to follow this truth of Jesus Christ by overcoming the shame, the world and his goods. I love the jealous, mockers and persecutors because they are the ones that permit me to work, to fight, to battle and to become strong and tough. The Eternal God has accorded the repentance in these extra times to all the Jews who have denied and continue to deny his Son Jesus Christ. This repentance therefore comes by the acceptance of these messages of truth that will permit them to come out of the seduction that they are living. For in a short while, the trumpet that saves will ring.
Glory to God only by Jesus Christ for the eternity.
CHAMPI Apostle not behalf of man, nor by a man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father. God’s power is the knowledge. To know, avoid sin and to be free from the eternal death. (John 8/32)
