Genealogy of Jesus
Matthew goes through the genealogy through the legal father of Jesus Christ.
Luke goes through the genealogy through the blood line of Jesus Christ.
Abraham
Isaac
Jacob
Judah
1.Pharez/Perez [bastard] Son of Judah and Tamar (his daughter-in-law) Genesis 38:6-29
2.Hezron
3.Ram

"A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth
generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord". Deut 23:2
The Blood Curse placed on Jehoiachin (a.k.a. Jeconiah / Coniah)
Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah. Jeremiah 22:30
Blood Curse placed on his seed. Remember "her seed" in Genesis 3:15? It is in reference to a virgin birth
Jesus Christ was not from the blood line of Joseph.
4 Women mentioned in
the Genealogy of Jesus (Embarrassing to Jewish religious system)
1. Tamar
[Genesis 38] v.3 - Family Responsibility - Deception/illegitimate child
2. Rahab v.5 – sexual
impurity - a prostitute {Listed in Hebrew Hall of Faith}
3. Ruth v.5
Racial impurity – A Moabites
4. Uriah’s
wife (Bathsheba) v.6
Christ (Greek) =
Messiah (Hebrew) (The Anointed One) Kings, Prophets and Priest were

-----Matthew 2------
King Herod was an Edomite, descendent of Esau (Arab Nation)
-----Matthew 3-----
We are witnesses not
lawyers we are to testify to who Jesus is and has done for us.
Why was JESUS baptized
?
- Affirmation of John’s ministry (I approve of his service for me).
- Identification with us personally.
- Declaration to His Father Prophetically (1.His submission to the Fathers plan-He came to die). Roman 6 Baptism is a picture of death and burial. 2. Expectation of the Fathers Power – Resurrection).
- Illustration of the reality of the Trinity. Holy Sprit in the form of a Dove, Voice from Heaven” This is my Son” .
Noah (man of faith)>
(Means: Comforter) Noah and the flood is a picture of Baptism - 1
peter 3:21
Dying to the sin
around us > failed after he was saved – Sinfulness
reemerged.
Jonah (the prophet)>
Means: Dove
Dying to the
Selfishness with us > After He failed got mad - Selfish
resurfaced.
GRACE
= Unmerited, Undeserved and Unearned favor
-----Matthew 4-----
Temptation of Jesus
found in Matthew4:1-11 Mark 1:12-13 and in Luke 4:1-13
Thought it is worth mentioning that the temptation/trial came after Jesus was baptized.
First Temptation v.2-v.4 Lust of the flesh (sensual,impurity,food,drink,etc..)
Second Temptation v.7-v.7 Pride of life (self-importance)
Third Temptation v. 8-v.11 Lust of the eyes (power,wealth,success, etc..)
1 John 2:16
For all that is in the
world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of
life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Jesus response was the Word, because we is the WORD (John 1:1)
When you squeeze a soaked sponge, whatever it is filled with comes out.
When we are squeezed through trials/temptations what we are filled with comes out. Ephesians 5:8,
We need to fill our lives with God's Word. Joshua 1:8, Psalms 1:2

Beatitudes
Bea in Latin means "Happy"
Jesus is talking to His disciples(believers) in this passage, not the crowd.
1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
If you look at these trying to find and claim one as yours, you are missing the point of the message. You should allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life in a way that as you are being sanctified here on earth every one of these slowly become prevalent in your life so that when others look at you, they do not see you, they see Christ living through you. Notice that in context the very next message after this goes right into the believers being the "salt" and the "light" , we should be Jesus to the world.
Be one among the blessed....... so that God will be glorified through your life.
Reminder: some of these are not going to be fulfilled until we are with Him.
I can't help when I study this section to jump over to Matthew 23 and read about "Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees" the flip side of those that think they are religious, that they've got this.
Also a condensed version of these can be found in Luke 6:17-26 "Blessings and Woes".

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
--Our attitude towards ourselves in which we feel our need and admit it.
Poor in spirit = Spiritual poverty, realizing that with out Christ you are spiritually bankrupt.
Example: Luke 18:9-14 The Pharisee and the tax collector.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
--Our attitude towards sin, a true sorrow for sin.
Those who mourn, yield to Holy Spirit and Repent, as we see our sinful state without Him. The Holy Spirit "The Comforter" will comfort as you surrender to His will.
5 Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.
--Our attitude towards others; we are teachable;we do not defend ourselves when we are wrong.
Meek: power under control, humble.
We should be more like Jesus, come along side him in the field of life as mentioned in Matthew 11:29
Matthew 11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle[meek] and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
--Here our attitude towards God is expressed;we receive His righteousness by faith because we ask for it..
Hunger and thirst for righteousness: A strong desire, can't live without.
Long to study learn from the Word of God, looking for the day in which He will make all things new, set all things right.
Revelation 21:5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me,“Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
7 Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy.
-- We have a forgiving spirit and love others
Are we showing mercy? are we demonstrating what we were given?
Luke 16:1-13 "the parable of the shrewd steward" displays this well.
James 2:13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
--We keep our lives and motives clean; holiness is happiness to us: no substitutes
Pure in Heart:Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean[pure] heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Here you have David that is described in Acts 13:22 as a man after God's own heart.
Reminder: In Jeremiah 17:9 it says “The heart is deceitful above all things,And desperately wicked;Who can know it?
That is why we must have a NEW heart (be born again/saved).
Ezekiel 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Reminder: In Jeremiah 17:9 it says “The heart is deceitful above all things,And desperately wicked;Who can know it?
That is why we must have a NEW heart (be born again/saved).
Ezekiel 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
We should also strive do have a pure heart, a heart like God. Not in a self-righteous way, but rather in a way and with the mindset that we are portraying Him to the world around us. Showing in love how His Love has changed us. That would include how you react to jokes at work of with "friends" that are dishonoring to Him.
1 Peter 1:16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
Leviticus 11:44 For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
Matthew 23:27-28
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
--We should bring peace, between people and God and between those who are at odds with each other
We should point others to God so that they may know Peace, and live at peace towards each other.
Hebrew 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
--All who live godly lives will suffer persecution
2 Tim 2:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Interesting note: here it says you will be listed with the prophets.
I think along with this passage its good to reflect upon the fruit of the Spirit:
Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Turn the other cheek
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Every time I come across this verse I'm reminded of a time in my early teens when I lived in Várzea Grande, Brazil. One day I was riding my bike at a very high rate of speed around the corner and a guy caring another man on his bike turned right in front of me. The impact was so strong that it bent the other guys front tire to where it would not turn on bike, and threw both guys off bike causing some scraps and bruises. The driver of the other bike started cussing at me and came up wanting to fight me. Just then the elementary school let out, so a huge crowd of kids started to gather shouting "fight" (which didn't help the situation any). The guy said I was going to pay and kicked me in the leg in a failed attempt to bring me down, but I didn't fight back, instead I told him that I would pay, and we could work something out as far as me paying for damages to his bike (which seemed to take him by surprise). I informed my dad who was just a couple of buildings away what was going on and walked with guy to bicycle shop to get estimate on repairs. While walking with the guy to the shop, his demeanor changed, he apologized for kicking me, and asked if I was a christian, and where I went to church. I was able to briefly share with him what I hope was a seed planted in his heart.
-----Matthew 6-----
Lead us not into temptation
After much searching here is what i came to regarding "temptation" In the Lord's prayer
(Matthew 6:9-13 speaking to the multitude, and in Luke 11:1-13 speaking to His disciples)..
” Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one”... temptation....meaning "testing".
It is all about humility.
Yes it is through testing that we grow, but when YOU WANT to be tested, pride [evil] can creep in. God does not tempt us(James 1:13) . Proverbs 16:18 - Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. So in essence, we are humbly asking God not to let us be tested, so that we are not leaving the door open for pride(which was the fall of the evil one{Lucifer} mentioned in Isaiah 14:13-14 and Ezekiel 28:16-17 ).
Matthew 6:9-13 The
Perfect Prayer (The Lord’s Prayer) > To the multitudes
Luke 11:1-13 > To
the disciples
Prayer needs to be
complete and concise. Not meaninglessly but meaningfully
- Concerns God’s Person v.9 Your
Relationship “adopted”[Father].
Reverence [In heaven Hallowed (Make Holy) be thy
Name=Nature]
- Concerns God’s Purpose v.10
Purpose
of the prayer is to get you in Harmony with His not the other way
around
- Concerns God’s Provision v.11
Give
“us” Not me. Bread
Prayer (intimacy) is a greater need than what you are praying for.
- Concerns God’s Pardon v.12
- Concerns God’s Protection v.13a
James
1:13 “Temptation” is “Testing “ It is all about Humility If
through a testing you grow but if you want to be tested, pride can
creep in.
God
does not tempt us but he allows us to be tempted.
- Concerns God’s Preeminence v.13b
Fasting
Why fast?
1. Direction (knowing God's will)
2. Liberation (against sin, temptation, or evil oppression)
Treasures
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Your treasure reveals where your hearts is
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
What do we spend our time, our talents, and our treasures on? Where do we invest our treasures?

He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
-----Matthew 7-----
Do Not Judge
Judge not, that ye be not judged. v.1
We are not to judge for condemnation. But, we are to judge for identification and restoration
Leviticus 19:17 "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him."
v.15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
v.16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?v.17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
v.18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
v.19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
v.20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
v.21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
v.22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
v.23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
"ravening wolves" v.15
Anyone that seeks to: Draw man after themselves - Acts 20:29-31
Draw from your wallet - 2 Peter 2:3
"Good theater usually brews bad theology"
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Matthew 7:22
"have we not done" Be careful of people that promote themselves in ministry.
Why do bad things happen to good people?
There are no good people. >>
Romans 3:10-12
The sermon on the mountain is to show us that we need a
Savior. We are sinners we need a redeemer.
Matthew 5:44 God
blesses the just and the unjust….God is good. God loves to bless.
Psalms 73:1 God is Good ,
1 John 4:16 God is Love
When you find yourself complaining that you didn’t get what
you asked God for,
Be thankful that you are not getting what you deserve.
-----Matthew 8-----
First 3 miracles of Jesus
1. Smitten by God [Leprous] - Matthew 8:1-4 [Leviticus 14 Leprosy > cleansing]
2. Gentile [Centurion servant] - Matthew 8:5-13
3.Women [Peter’s wife’s mother] - Matthew 8:14-15
Isaiah 1:5-6 Leprosy is a type of sin
Begins beneath the surface of the skin (Lev 13)
It spreads over the body
It defiles the person and causes them to live separate
(isolation)
Jesus marveled (was amazed)
Matthew 8:10(Marveled at the faith of a Gentile) and,
Mark 6:6 (Marveled at the lack of faith of the Jews).
Bethsaida
(Means: The House of fishing)
v.22 "But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead".
Let the Dead bury the dead > “Let no relationship stand
in the way”
Jesus sleeping in the boat (tiered, showing His humanity)
Jesus rebukes the storm (Shows His Deity)
Jesus refers to Himself more than 80 times in the New
Testament as the “Son of man” showing His humanity to us.
Matthew 8:28-34
v. 29 “What do you want with us,
Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the
appointed time?” [The demons know that
judgment is coming to them].
James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons
believe that—and shudder.
Don’t tell anyone
Why did Jesus often say “don’t tell anyone about this” in
reference to Jesus healing someone?
He did not want them to focus more on the miracle than the
messenger.
The 2 blind men were seeing something that others were not
….“Son of David” (they understood that he was the messiah). Jesus told them not
to tell anyone, possible for their own protection. Since He was not yet come as
King.
Man is sins because he is born a sinner
He is not a sinner because he sins.
Prophecies that the Messiah would perform miracles
Isaiah 30, 35, 53 - Malachi 4
This deserves more digging .
Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Matthew 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Children of the kingdom ?

-----Matthew 9-----
-----Matthew 10-----
Beelzebub [Lord of the flies] (Philistine god)
v.32 Whosoever
therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father
which is in heaven.
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny
before my Father which is in heaven.
REMINDER: Peter denied Jesus.
(This is not dealing with salvation). This has
to do with the blessings that Jesus will ask in intersession to God for us, to
give us.
39 He that
findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall
find it.
If you are living for yourself
you will lose it. If you are living for Him you will find your life(the secret
of life=die to self, life for Jesus you will live happy).
First 10 chapters show Jesus as
King (Revelation of the King).
His Person was revealed -- The King
His prophet (John the Baptist)
was heralding the way
His Principles (were given to us)
the Sermon on the Mount 5,6,7
His Power demonstrated (10
miracles) in chapters 8 and 9
His People (chapter 10) The 12
ambassadors sent out [Apostles] with the message of the kingdom.
Temple was destroyed in A.D. 70 by Titus (Romans) burnt the
temple, destroyed the records. Jesus is the Only One that can trace His
Genealogy to David.
-----Matthew 11-----
John The Baptist
“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant
and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them
on fire,” says the LORD Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them.But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things,” says the LORD Almighty.
“Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.
“See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.” (Malachi 4:1-6)
Come to me all who are weary
and I will give you rest.
Exodus 5:9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard
vain words.
Isaiah 1:4 > Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are
corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord,
they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away
backward. (sin makes us tired) Egypt = World.
-----Matthew 12-----
Sabbath
Colossians 2:16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.Deuteronomy 23:25 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
Matthew 12:5 Haven’t you heard (Read your bible)? 1 Samuel 21 The David ate the showbread from the Temple?
Don’t you know History? David was being rejected as King, Jesus was being rejected as King.
Don’t you know the Law? The Priest worked twice as hard on the Sabbath.
Don’t you know the Word Prophetically? Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Prophet, Priest, and King Anointed with oil they broke the Sabbath (Christ means: Messiah, Anointed one)
I am the King, The great High Priest, The Prophet of God, The Anointed One, The Messiah.
He is the Lord of the Sabbath, the fulfillment of the Sabbath.
Matthew 12:17 > Isaiah 42
Reed grew near swamps, Reeds where used to make musical instruments. Bruised (bent) reed cannot be used for a musical instrument.
Flax used for making wick for an oil lamp, Smoking flax that don’t ignite or burn bright.
Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost/Spirit
Mentioned in: Matthew 12:31-32; Mark 3:28-30; Luke 12:10
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. v.31
Q.What is it?
If you willfully reject the leading of the Holy Spirit, which leads you to salvation, that only comes through Jesus Christ then you could never receive the forgiveness, and be saved.
Q.Can a Christian do it?
No.
Q.and/or Does our testimony cause, or influence other to do it?
Sadly, I think that it is possible to quench the Spirit [1 Thessalonians 5:19] if we are not walking in harmony.
Genesis 6:3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
1 Kings 10 - Queen of the south
Greater than Jonah
Greater than Solomon
My Mother, my brothers?
Matthew 12:47-48
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Matthew 13:54-56
54 And when he was come 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?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And
his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these
things?
Psalms
69:8
I am become a
stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
-----Matthew 13-----
Why in Parables ?
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Parables are not there to make it clearer for the unbeliever.
It was His way of shielding those without the Holy Spirit from a harsher punishment since they would be the ones that would crucified Him . It was a sign of mercy from our Lord.
"seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."
Isaiah 6:9-10
9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Luke 12:47-48
47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Children of the kingdom
Pay attention to: ”children of the kingdom” in these 2 verses.
Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Matthew 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Gonna need to do more digging.....
kingdom of heaven is like unto....
3 major aspects of the Kingdom are mentioned in these 3 parables. (3 categories of people)
TREASURE:
Israel/Jewish Nation
Matthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure
hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof
goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if ye
will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure
unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
PEARL: Saved Gentiles (Pearls are formed in the Sea – Sea is a representation of the
gentiles.)
Matthew 13:45-46
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a
merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
GOOD FISH: Saved during the Tribulation/End times
Matthew 13:47-48
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
The word parable means “to cast
alone side”
Using a story to give
understanding to a truth
The Lost and the Lazy don’t
understand parables.
Parables are for those that are
interested in the Truth.
The happy man is not the one who
has the most, but is the one who needs the least.
Things that the Bible
identifies as fruit
1. Holiness > Romans 6:22
2. Soul Winning > Romans 1:13
3. Fruit of the Spirit >
Galatians 5
4. Giving financially > Romans

5. Good Works > Colossians 1:10
6. Praise Worship > Hebrews 13:15
Mustard seeds do not grow into
trees that support birds.
Jesus is talking about abnormal
growth.
Birds in the Bible always speak
of evil.
Leaven is used 98 times in the
Bible and is always referred to as evil.
Hard Soil [was not accepted into
the ground, so the birds ate it] (birds=evil entities)
Shallow ground (stony ground) [grows
fast but has no roots when tested]
Ground infested with thorns
[suffocated by the cares of this world/to busy]
Good Soil [ready, ground has been
worked prior to seeding, becomes productive/fruitful]
Speaks to us as hears of the word
(be careful how you hear the word)
Speaks to us as shares of the
word
In this world you will have
troubles and tribulation
Paul beaten
Hebrews, sawed asunder
Prosperity teaching?
v.37
Sows the good seed is the Son of
Man (Jesus)
The field is the world
The good seed are the children of
the Kingdom (wheat)
Tares (bearded darnel) are the
children of the wicked one (satan)
Sows the bad seed (tares) is the
devil
The harvest is the end of the
World
The reapers are the angels.
The scribes originally were from
Ezra’s days, they were Truth seekers. Jesus said to be more like them (truth
seekers).
If you only draw from the Old
(past) you become narrow.(Not open to what the Lord is doing presently).
If you only draw from the New
(present) you will be shallow (moving, but they don’t understand the
History, the heritage, the continuity of what God is doing in the kingdom).
Draw from the Old (past [heritage/history])
and the New (present) to become rich
The one that can draw from the
old and the new will become the rich man.
Sin is not bad because God forbid
it,
It is forbidden because it is
bad.

2 Samuel 6:14 And David danced before the Lord
with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. [David removed his position robe (as king)

Daniel 9 - Signs of the times
“Show us a sign”….. Signs don’t
convict, they addict.
v.6 Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the
Sadducees.”
Leaven of the Pharisees is legalism (We must follow these
rules/traditions to get to God)
Leaven of the Sadducees liberalism (wealthy
we don’t need God, lets rationalize)
Matthew 16:13-20 Was not a
emotional response due to some miracle. It was a revelation trough a deep
relationship. “I will build my church upon that rock” (not on an emotional
resonse, but on a deeper walk/relationship with Jesus).
Deuteronomy 32:31 For
their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
Who do you say Jesus is?
-----Matthew 16-----
18. And I also say to you that you are
Peter(small rock), and on this rock(Big Rock) I will build My church, and the
gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
1st time in the New
testament where the word “church” is mentioned.
Building churches on one of these
4 is not good.
1. John the Baptist –We will set the standard. Try to clean the fish
before they catch the fish.
2. Elijah – Miracles, signs and wonders, fire from heaven, Power.
3. Jeremiah – Reach out evangelisticly, weeping over the lost
4. that prophet – Teaching center, educate people. Know everything
about the bible
Build the church upon Christ.
The cross leads to the crown.
All 3 times that Jesus took Peter
James and John it was related to death.
1st time(Luke 8)Jesus
took Peter, James and John into the house of Jairus – Victory over death.
2nd time Jesus took
into the garden of Gethsemane - Submission to death
3rd time (Matt 17) Jesus
is glorified in death (Luke’s gospel says they were talking about His death).
James would be the 1st
of the disciples to be put to death (sawed in half long ways)
John would be one of the last
disciples to die (he was tortured but didn’t die)
Peter would be crucified upside
down (he was told by Jesus that peter was to be crucified).
-----Matthew 17-----
V10-11 Elijah should come before
the Messiah - Malachi 4
Elijah will come before the 2nd
coming, but the spirit of Elijah has come in John the Baptist.
Exodus 30 buy protection with ½
shackle of silver.
27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
Only miracle Jesus ever did with
Money Coin in Fish mouth.
Only miracle Jesus did for
Himself (to get peter off the Hook)
Only miracle Jesus did with only
1 fish
Judas Iscariot was known for taking money from the bag. (He was in charge of the money)
John 12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
-----Matthew 18-----
Two or three are gathered together in my name
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." [Jesus Speaking in Matthew 18:20] I've heard this mentioned from people before, where they say [in regards to this passage] "one cannot by gathered together by them self that is why He says 2 or 3". But, In my opinion i think that they miss the point. While studying the O.T. in Deuteronomy 19:15b it says: "at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established". I know that the context here in Deuteronomy is more in accusing and sentencing someone to death. But i think that the idea holds true that when 2 or 3 are gathered their witness holds true. Therefore, they can be credible witnesses to the Fact that He is present.
The word sincere means “with out
wax”. Wax was used to hid cracks in pottery so that they could be sold.
18:6 offend one of these little ones offend= “Thrown off
course”
18: Take heed that ye despise not one of
these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always
behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

Characteristics of the Kingdom
1. As a child (not child like) =
in humility
2. If
you brother trust pass against you = be honesty (with Love)
Love without truth is hypocrisy
truth without love is brutality
3. 7x 70(490)= Forgiveness Flowing freely
- Ephesians 4.32
-----Matthew 19-----
Deuteronomy 24
Jesus went back even further than
the Law
Are you calling me God? Do you
understand that?
Only God is Good
If you will be perfect (that is
“complete”).
Riches can make you independent
from God and intolerant to others.
“A penny” was a days wage for a
Roman Soldier

Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Jesus Curses the Fig Tree
18 In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he became hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once.
20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?” 21 And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. 22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
Jesus Curses the Fig Tree (Mark's Account in Mark 11:12-14)
12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.
<< Jesus Cleanses the Temple Mark11:15-19 >> context
The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”
-----Matthew 22-----

1 John 4:20 Whoever claims to love
God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their
brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not
seen.

horizontally, you have the Picture of a Cross.
Jesus hung on the cross. He loves
the Father, He loves us He fulfilled the Law and The Prophets.

Jesus public ministry Begins with 8 Blessings in the beatitudes
(Matthew 5)
1. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.
2. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
3. Blessed are the meek: for they shall
inherit the earth.
4. Blessed are they which do hunger and
thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
5. Blessed are the merciful: for they
shall obtain mercy.
6. Blessed are the pure in heart: for
they shall see God.
7. Blessed are the peacemakers: for
they shall be called the children of God.
8. Blessed are they which are
persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
9. Blessed are ye, when men shall
revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you
falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Jesus public ministry Ends with 8 Woes (Matthew 23)
1. But woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against
men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering
to go in.
2. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye
shall receive the greater damnation.
3.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him
twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
4. Woe unto you, ye
blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing;
but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
5. Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and
have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
6. Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the
platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
7. Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed
appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
uncleanness.
8. Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and
garnish the sepulchres of the righteous
twice the child of Hell(Legalist)
v. 24 The gnat was the smallest
and the Camel was the largest unclean animals listed in Leviticus 11 . which
strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel

v.27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear
beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
uncleanness.
“White washed tombs”
They were white washed so that they would be easier to see
so that the Jews would not defile themselves by coming near a dead corpse
before Passover. Visitors coming to Jerusalem
for Passover would know were the tombs were and to stay away from them.
Numbers 19:16
And whosoever toucheth one that is slain
with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a
grave, shall be unclean seven days.
-----Matthew 24-----
Signs of the End
3 And
as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall
be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
3 separate questions where asked here in this verse
Question 1. When will this happen?
Answer: "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:): v.15
Question 2. What will be the sign of your coming?
Answer: "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be". v.27
Question 3. The end of the age?
Answer: "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come". v.14
v.8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
“Labor/Birth pains”
The time of Jacobs trouble (when
the Jews realize that Jesus is the Messiah[after the rapture of the church]).
v. 13 But he that
shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. [This is for thouse that
were not saved prior to the rapture].
Revelation 14:6+ Angel flies by
proclaiming the gospel and telling people not to take the mark.
V:20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither
on the sabbath day:
On the Sabbath in Israel things close down: Busses, airports, transportation.
This is why this passage is
directed to Israel.
Winter because it is difficult to
travel. Snow, mud, and Ice
v. 15 When ye therefore shall see
the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in
the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand :)
You are attacked everyday on 3
fronts
1st Principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the

3rd Old nature (Flesh)
Matthew 24-25 Olivet discourse (Jesus
taught His disciples while sitting on the side of the Mt of Olives)
3 groups in order
1 – v. 1-14 As it relates to the Nations
2 – v. 15-36 As it relates to Israel specifically, Jewish people particularly.
3 – v. 37-42 As it relates to the
Church (Believers).
Abomination of desolation
mentioned in Daniel has 2 parts.
Daniel 11:31 Already happened in 170 B.C. When Assyrian King Antiochus Epiphanes [Epiphanes: means the shining one] referred
to himself as Zeus in the Flesh. He slaughtered a pig on the altar in the Temple and killed many Jews. ……This triggered the Maccabean Revolt.
Daniel 9:27
2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who
opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped;
so that he as God sitteth in the temple
of God, shewing himself that he is God.
He will demand to be
worshiped (his image be worshipped) and for everyone to take the mark of the
beast. He will create a new monetary system. This is directed to the Jews
because the Church is not on the earth (ruptured).
Zechariah 13:8-9
9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Edomites (Decentands of Esau) built it Petra The Treasury at Petra Has 2 eagle wings carved on top
Revelations 12:14 - And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Zechariah 14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
Azal is also another name for petra
Daniel 11:41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Matthew 24:22 - And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Isaiah 45:4 - Isaiah 65:9 - Romans 11:28 The people of Israel His elect not just Christians.
There are 3 groups in the bible that are called His elect:
1.
The Church(Christians)
2.
Israel (Isaiah 45)
3.
Saved during the Tribulation
v.28 For
wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.(KJV)
As in the Days of Noah
- Population explosion
- Abnormal sexual practices
- Evil imaginations
- Earth filled with violence
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were
eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that
Noe entered into the ark,
Repeated marriages, over and
over. High divorce rate and remarrying.
v.39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be.
Took = AIROW
Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the
other left.
Taken = Rapture.

the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and
none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be

Purpose of all History
37 O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto
thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen
gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
The Tragedy of all History
38 Behold, your
house is left unto you desolate.
The Triumph of all History
39 For I say unto
you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that
cometh in the name of the Lord.
TRUE Worship often comes through breaking
Often when you are Broken
Often Costly
Often misunderstood
Often Beneficial (Takes on the
same fragrance as Jesus) Her hair smelled like Jesus feet.
You become like what you worship.
Every time Mary is mentioned in
the Bible she is at the feet of Jesus

gave her best at His feet

Saints which slept arose?
1.the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom
2.the earth did quake
3. and the rocks rent(cried out)
4.the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose.....I remember all that. But what I did not notice was in verse 53. "And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many." [after His resurrection] I thought it was at the time of His death. If we look at 1 Corinthians 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. Thought that was interesting.
