GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 23:29-39
29 - (Jesus continues) - “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees! Hypocrites! Actors! You build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the monuments of the righteous 30 saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in killing the prophets.’ 31 And so you witness against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 So fill up, then, the full measure! 33 You serpents! Brood of vipers, how are you to escape gehenna judgment? (Fiery judgment of 70ad.) 34 And so I will send [apostelló - commission, send] to you prophets [prophétés - a prophet, interpreter or forth-teller of the divine will, a prophet, a poet, a person gifted at expositing divine truth, one who speaks forth by the inspiration of God, from pro - before, and phēmí - elevating/asserting one idea over another, especially by speaking; prophēteia - prophecy] and wise [sophos - skilled, wise, translated wise men] and scribes. Some you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in the public places [sunagógé - a bringing together, by extension an assembling, or a synagogue — but not necessarily] and you will persecute them from town to town. 35 So that upon you may be reckoned all the righteous blood shed upon earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.” (Revelation 17:5 says “Mystery Babylon the Great” is responsible for all slain - ‘Mystery Babble’ - all confusion, surely? And wanting to dominate? Empire.. Towers.. “All your high towers will fall” Is.2:15, “Come out of her my people”.. Rev.18:4) (These pretenders murdered the Son of God, sent from the Father, who they claimed to be their God. Pretenders, play-actors. The adversary/Satan (&co.) always plot, infiltrate.. hijack, confiscate, stage-play. Always LooK behind the scenes?)
37 “Oh Jerusalem! Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to you! How often I longed to gather your children like a hen gathers her chicks beneath her wings, but you were not willing! (The state of humanity, during life as we presently know it, this all important contrast.) 38 See, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I say to you, you (Jerusalem) will not see me agaiN, untiL you (Jerusalem) say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.’” (Rev.7:9,4)

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ 1 Timothy 4:1-8 ~
1 - Now the Spirit of God specifically says, in later times some will depart from the faith by listening to deceitful spirits and teachings [didaskalia - instruction, information, teachings] of demons [daimonion - evil-spirit, demon, heathen deity] 2 through the insincerity [hupokrisis - a reply, answer, playacting, hypocrisy, stage playing] of liars [pseudologos - speaking lies; a liar passing on false conclusions because working with false premises] whose consciences are seared [kautériazó] 3 (in Paul’s day) forbidding marriage and requiring abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good (including marriage) and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is sanctified/purified by the word of God and prayer. (A prayer of thanks blesses/purifies the food.)
6 If you put these things before the brothers [adelphos - brethren, brothers and sisters, fellow persons] you will be a good worker for Christ Jesus, having been trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you are following. 7 Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths! Rather train yourself for godliness. (The upward progress of the fruits of the Spirit/Presence of God. And understanding Truth?) 8 For while bodily training [gymnasía] is profitable, godliness (of character) is of greater value in every way. As it holds promise for present life and of the Life which is coming.
