JEWELS From The GOSPEL Of JOHN - The MAD MESSIAH? JOHN 2:13-17

The following is a series of short exhortations, brief commentary and writings to convey thoughtful meditation on God's Word. I have chosen the Gospel of John as the subject. These articles will not run contiguously on this blog but peppered throughout and in the midst of other articles (though some might be posted consecutively). I pray that these will be a blessing and an edification for the saints

JOHN 2:13-17
13 And the Jews' Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; 16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. 17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

HOW DARKNESS FLEES FROM The LIGHT of GOD!

When was the last time you entered an unlit room and with a broom attempted to sweep all of the darkness out?

Or used a bicycle tire pump to push all the air out of an empty glass?

Silly I know, because neither of those methods will work; even if you sweat and strain and put as much effort into these exercises as you can, it's vanity and vexation - not to mention useless.

It's far more effective to simply flick on a light switch and let the brightness of a light bulb chase away that darkness! As well as for that empty glass - you only need to fill it with some water and it will push all of that air out all on its own.

The last time we were in Cana, we observed a wedding celebration in progress; they ran out of wine and Mary knew exactly Who could help in this situation . . . 

JOHN 2:1-5
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

JEWELS From The GOSPEL of JOHN - WISDOM from MARY - JOHN 2:3-5

The following is a series of short exhortations, brief commentary, and writings to convey thoughtful meditation on God's Word. I have chosen the Gospel of John as the subject. I pray that these will be a blessing and an edification for the saints.

JOHN 2:1-5

1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

ARE YOU PERSECUTION PROOF?

At the conclusion of this article on FROM THE MIND OF FIRE, I have a link to a video teaching by pastor Sonny Islas of the ETERNAL LIVING WORD Church in Tucson. This message has been a great burden to our brother Sonny; and he (and myself) implore you to take the time and watch this video.

The day and age in which we live is getting spiritually darker and darker still; no surprise there, right? (ROMANS 13:12 “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armour of light.”). 

In the headlines we read of random shootings perpetrated by psychotic, drugged-out teenagers and young adults: In Oregon. In Ohio, in Texas and Arizona . . . 

On the television we witness the rising of civil unrest and signs of potential race riots, more violence from Black and White Supremacists, Muslims, pro-abortionists and Socialist-style Democrats - while at the same time, an increase in acceptance of Islam, LGBTQ globally. Signs of a Marxist takeover of our nation are becoming more observable every passing day.

Leaders in our government are pronouncing the Constitution of the United States as "obsolete", "antiquated", "a deeply flawed document", "no longer relevant", and so on. National and historical monuments as well as the Ten Commandments are coming down by the droves, and meanwhile a Baphomet, a satanic statue (along with a burgeoning rise of Satanic churches/temples are being erected in America) stands in Arkansas!! We are losing our Judeo-Christian roots - no, we are being robbed of them!

1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

In the book of Genesis, during the six days of creation, God bestowed a blessing on each day, except for Mondays (we KNEW there was a reason why we didn't like Mondays, DIDN'T we!) but the LORD bestowed a double blessing on Tuesday, the third day of the week. This is typically why Jewish weddings are held on Tuesdays because the wedding couple seek this double blessing.

JOHN 1:47-51
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. 49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. 50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. 51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
