“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” jn 8:44 nkjv |
October 14, 2025 What [who] was Yeshua’s [Jesus’] predominate and consistent opponent(s) during His earthly ministry? The Scripture tells us, “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.” jn 1:10-12 nkjv.; For a better appreciation for the [my] comments in this week’s devotional, I suggest you read John chapters 1 and 8. Chapter 1, defines WHO Yeshua was, He was the Word of GOD [Torah] in the flesh; Chapter 8, Yeshua, in His own words, tells us who His predominate and consistent enemies were… and who they were beholden to… He said they were “of their father the devil.” Yeshua’s greatest earthly adversarial conglomerate down through time, has been and still is, “religion.” The lie has deep roots in people’s thinking, it is in religion where the lie is used to “comfort” deceived people. The lie is also a weapon against the truthful and faithful followers of Yeshua… and it has been for ages. The lie is Yeshua’s adversarial enemies number one weapon…? From the beginning, gen 3:1-3.. the account of Adam and Eve believing the “lie” of the Devil… The lie is the second most powerful thing in the universe [if one is fooled by it], as Yahweh’s Truth is the most powerful thing in the universe… Yeshua said HE [Torah Word] was the way, the truth, and the life [jn 14:6]… And that “the truth” would set you free. Religion has relentlessly corrupted the truth for its own interests… religion [absent the Torah as its core foundation] is provided in a variety of menus for self-satisfying people. The Scripture tells us, “if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” ps 11:3… Paul tells Timothy: “Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 tim 2:19 nkjv When Paul admonished Timothy with these words, there was no New Testament in existence… the only “foundation” of God Paul could have possibly been referring to was the Torah, of which he was a brilliant scholar, the forever settled word of Yahweh [ps 119:89]. Paul was warning Timothy of corrupted teachings that distorted the truth… Departing from “iniquity,” as used in the Scripture, in the most common sense, iniquity is any message, philosophy, practice, or teaching, that conflicts with the “foundational Word of Yahweh’s Torah.” Now I ask you, in today’s world of dumbed down humanity, by hedonistic entertainment and purposely distorted teaching in our public education cesspool, derelict and narrative formulated news media agendas, with the last few generations being told what to think instead of how to think, morally neutralized, gender confused, and illiterate of our national and world history… How, by what method would they know what a “lie” is/was, and how it affected them? Even worse, when psychopath devils of our militant political and activists judicial loonies, openly demonstrate their intents to destroy truth and justice, or anything “right” as opposed to wrong… who can know what a “foundation” is supposed to look like? Yet, and carefully understand this, people ARE being polarized into waring factions by “lies” on both sides… the devil must find this succulent entrainment. On a recent interview, which Tucker Carlson aired on his internet channel, he hosted Congressman Tim Burchett [R-TN]… I suggest you look it at it at: [this link] I Don't know how long it will remian posted. The context of the conversation has much about UFO issues, but even more so is the discussion of falsification of government activity and corruption. In my opinion, we can also see therein, the decayed condition of our once democratic society… and I want to point out, all of these evil problems are simply the cause and effect of “the lie.” It is where we live. For our own individual interest, and for our companions in the faith, we must return to the foundational truth of what Yahweh teaches us, just as Paul told Timothy. Paul was not trying to reorder the pagan Roman society, he was telling Timothy to reach out to his fellow believers with truth. No political system, party, or person, is coming to our defense. Yeshua said the wicked religous people of His time were NOT able to hear the truth. So it is now… Time is running out before some really bad and evil consequences come down on our world. World wide leaders, as I see them, are best viewed as a lunatic uni-party of self-serving disingenuous pack of monkeys partying in a dynamite shack playing with boxes of matches… it can’t turn out well. Those who indulge with them will also perish. Shalom, John |
