John 5
John 5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the
Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered,
waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the
water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made
whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that
case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled,
to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and
on the same day was the sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is
not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy
bed, and walk.
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed,
and walk?
13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself
away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou
art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him
whole.
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because
he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had
broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal
with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things
soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth:
and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son
quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that
honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him
that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but
is passed from death unto life.

Shortly after the
crucifixion, Jesus went to those that had died
before He paid the price on the cross (I Peter
3:18-20). Why? To offer them the same
opportunity for salvation that you and I have,
today.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead
shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
-
Hour is coming = the dead (spiritually dead to
God's Word) shall hear the voice of the Son of
God: and they that hear shall live.
-
Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be
published among all nations.
-
God 's very elect will be delivered up and God will speak through them
-
God's
Two Witnesses comes, guiding the elect
-
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the
prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and
the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite
the earth with a curse.

God's Very Elect will be deliver up

Act 2:6
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and
were confounded,
because that
every man
heard them
speak in his own language.
Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead
you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye
shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be
given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that
speak, but the Holy Spirit.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have
life in himself;
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son
of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the
graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of
life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
-
Again, don't let this throw you. Christ went to
those who had died before the crucifixion to
offer them salvation.
-
If you hate the name of Christ, and you want God
removed from your vocabulary, you are flirting
with damnation.
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is
just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath
sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness
which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
-
John the Baptist was the forerunner.
-
His witness was true.
-
John’s message to the
people was, “Repent”.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might
be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to
rejoice in his light.
-
Light destroys darkness.
-
Truth destroys falsehoods.
-
John had a great message.
-
He baptized many
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father
hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the
Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have
neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye
believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they
are they which testify of me.
-
The prophets foretold of the coming of Messiah.
-
Have you read? Have you
searched?
-
Those who were trying to
kill Him hadn’t.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

John 8:19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye
neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known
my Father also.
-
John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father,
ye would love me: for
I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he
sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my
word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will
do. He was a murderer from the beginning (Cain), and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of
his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come
in his own name, him ye will receive.
-
The Kenites. He is dressing down here will
receive the antichrist.
-
Why? He is truly their father (John 8:44).
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the
honour that cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth
you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
