Luke 12
Luke 12:1 In the mean time, when there
were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that
they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of
all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
-
Hypocrisy, They show that the word come to mean not merely
"false pretence", but positive impiety or
wickedness.
-
Luke 11:44 Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye are as graves which appear not, and the
men that walk over them are not aware of them.
-
Proverbs 11:9 An hypocrite
with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but
through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid,
that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the
light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be
proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the
body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he
hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is
forgotten before God?
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not
therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall
the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of
God.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be
forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy
Spirit it
shall not be forgiven.
-
The unforgiveable sin is when the God's
very elect is delivered up and you refuse the Holy
Spirit to speak through you.
-
You have to be one of God's very elect for this to
happen
-
Mark 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for
they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye
shall be beaten (mocked): and ye shall be brought before rulers
and kings for my sake, for a testimony against
them.
-
10
And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
-
You need to read this verse again, this is
the unforgiveable sin.
-
The Lord has told us, the elect will be delivered
up.
-
They will bring you unto the synagogues, and
unto magistrates.
-
Read Acts 2 and Daniel 3, Example of what will happen in the end
days
-
What did He tell us to do? Take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall
answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same
hour what ye ought to say.
-
Do not think of anything to say. Let the Lord
speak through you.
-
You will be mocked, just let the Lord guide
you.
-
Acts 2:13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates,
and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or
what ye shall say:
12 For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to
say.
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother,
that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a
man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he
possesseth.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain
rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I
have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build
greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for
many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be
required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast
provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward
God.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no
thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye
shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither
have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye
better than the fowls?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one
cubit?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye
thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and
yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to
morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of
little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be
ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your
Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be
added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give
you the kingdom.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax
not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief
approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he
will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may
open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find
watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make
them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
-
1 Thessalonians 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep,
as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch,
and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour
the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his
house to be broken through.
-
Thief means you don't know seals,
trumpets, vials, God's Words. Meaning God's Plan.
-
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
-
1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know
perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh
as a thief in the night.
-
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord
will come as a thief in the night; in the
which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works
that are therein shall be burned up.
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when
ye think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us,
or even to all?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom
his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion
of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that
he hath.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his
coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat
and drink, and to be drunken;
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for
him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder,
and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
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.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I if it be already
kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened
till it be accomplished!
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay;
but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three
against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the
father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the
mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter
in law against her mother in law.
54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the
west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and
it cometh to pass.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth;
but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art
in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest
he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer,
and the officer cast thee into prison.
-
He talking to God's very elect.
-
Matthew 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with
him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the
judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
-
Agree with thine adversary quickly = This is
what you do at the time of Satan's tribulation
-
Agree = Be well-minded = only here.. adversary =
opponent (in a lawsuit).
-
Officer = Here = the tax-collector
-
When thou goest = For, when thou art brought.
Introducing the reason for this conclusion of
the whole argument.
-
Adversary = Shown in the last clause to
be the tax-gatherer.
-
To = before
-
The = a.
-
Give diligence = work hard, or take pains, or do
your best.
Be careful
-
Delivered = set free.
-
Acts 19:12 So that from his body were brought
unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the
diseases departed from them, and the evil
spirits went out of them.
-
Hale = haul
-
Officer = tax-gatherer = the adversary of the
first
-
Clause = doer, or executive officer. He was the
one who could cast a defaulter into prison.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the
very last mite.
