my departing shall grievous
wolves enter in among you,

shall men arise, speaking
perverse things, to draw
away disciples after them

DEPARTING SHALL GRIEVOUS WOLVES
After my departure shall grievous
wolves enter among you.
Notwithstanding all I have done to
preserve discipline and truth among
that false and seducing
teachers/preachers, comparable to
wolves, for their craft and cunning, and
their greedy, covetous and voracious
disposition; and who are grievous,
troublesome, and even intolerable to
them, who shall endeavor to make a
pray of you, and by introducing false
hypocritical and heretical doctrines,
shall divide and scatter you, as wolves (
enemies of the flock) make a prey of,
divide, and scatter sheep’s
NOT SPARING THE FLOCK
Swindling it instead of feeding it,
making merchandised of it, under
religious pretense, devour widows’
house, and drain the purses of men;
having no compassion or mercy upon
their souls, poisoning them with their
error and heresies, subverting their
faith, and bringing them into swift
destruction , as much as they could tell
lies
But with greedy eagerness, and
domineering violence, making terrible
havoc of GOD”S, household, out of a
mean and wicked regard to their own
private and secular interests.

EZEKIEL 34:3-5
|
3)Ye eat the fat, and ye
clothe you with the wool, ye
kill them that are fed; but ye
feed not the flock
4)The diseased have ye not
strengthened, neither have
ye healed that which was
sick, neither have ye bound
up that which was broken,
neither have ye brought
again that which was driven
away, neither have ye sought
|
The LORD instructed Ezekiel to
issue a strong accusation of their
bad character and to preach
against them pointing out their
terrible sin:
interest above the interest
of the people they should
feed the flock first
everything- food, clothes
and animals’ money for 14
that which was lost; but with
force and with cruelty have
ye ruled them
5)And they were scattered,
because there is no
shepherd; and they became
meat to all the beast of the
field, when they were
scattered
themselves, but refuse to
feed and cloth the poor and
needy
weak, sick or ravage with
poverty, they should have
used their finances to help
the weak, heal the sick and
take care of the ravaged
poor
people who has gone astray
or gotten lost, many leaders
practice wicked lifestyle and
false worship, making
themselves stumbling block
by failing to lift of GOD’S
Holy commandment before
the people
cruelty, acting soles on
selfishness these ruthless
leaders pass law that
benefits themselves instead
of the public
The religionist, rulers, and false
teacher by greed corruption and
selfishness , they failed to lead
GOD’S people in the right way he
wanted , they were exploiting the
people, they are using them for
personal gain instead of helping
them spiritually
GOD would judge the religious
leader because they are selfish
caught up in their own concerns
and are neglecting their service to
others, by advancing self
development at the expense of
broken, lost people ravaged with
poverty
And they scattered the people of
GOD because there is no shepherd
no good one; there were shepherd,
but they were idol shepherd, good
for nothing.

the money changers, and the

any man should carry any

JESUS COME TO JERUSALEM WENT
INTO THE TEMPLE AND CAST THEM
OUT
JESUS went straight to the temple
and drove the buyers and sellers
out of the temple and overthrew
their tables of money changers and
the seats of them that sold doves,
JESUS shows that he is indeed the
true Messiah and king who takes
revenge upon those who do not
show proper reverence for the Holy
function of the Temple
Our LORD adopted these strong
measures:
(1)Because the temple court were
not the proper place for
merchandise and
(2) Because these transactions
were often dishonest, on account of
the greed and covetousness of the
priest, who are mostly involved in
the sales
AND WOULD NOT ANY MAN
SHOULD CARRY ANY VESSEL
JESUS was more strict and severe
and gave orders, that no man
should be allowed to trade in that
sacred place any more and should
carry any vessel through the temple
; should not make a through fare of
it, by carrying through any other
place
MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED OF
ALL NATIONS THE HOUSE OF
PRAYER (ISAIAH 56:7)
JESUS CHRIST action in driving out
the profaners of the temple as a
great proof his divine power; that
he alone should have been able to
cast out so great a multitude, he
said his word, My house shall be
called the house of prayer, but you
HAVE MADE IT DEN OF THIEVES ,
These teacher/preacher, priest,
wholly intent are only upon self
gain, by various fraudulent acts to
plundered strangers and the poor,
who came to purchase offering for
the worship of GOD.

called by my name, become a
den of robbers in your eyes?
Behold, even I have seen it,
saith the LORD.

THE HOUSE WHICH IS CALLED BY MY
NAME BECOMES DEN OF ROBBERS
Those who use the house of GOD
as cover up or asylum where they
may obtain impunity for their
abomination , if thieves, murderers,
adulterers and lawless plundered
,after they have committed such
gross atrocities and gathered in the
house of GOD and supposed that by
appearing there they may obtained
the pardon of their sins, they were
in the very act declaring the HOUSE
of GOD the den where robbers
take shelter by offering sacrifice to
cover their sin, which they thought
they will hide their sins from GOD
I HAVE SEEN IT SAID THE LORD
The LORD said not only the
abomination committed, but by
using the House of GOD by them, as
crafty as you are, you cannot hide
these things from me, at their
foolish vain confidence, whereby
they deceive themselves, GOD will
not be blind by all vain
presentations.

world hath blinded the
minds of them which believe
not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of CHRIST,
who is the image of GOD
should shine unto them.
|
BUT IF OUR GOSPEL BE HID, IT IS
HID TO THEM THAT ARE LOST
It is hid to them who are left to the
native blindness of their minds, and
are given up to a reprobate mind,
to judicial darkness, and are
suffered under the influence of the
prince of darkness, it is concealed
only among that class who will not
see the truth, because to them it is
regarded as foolishness because
they see no beauty in it
IN WHOM THE GOD OF THIS
WORLD HAD BLINDED
The worldly make him their god,
who rules the children of
disobedience, which lust they will
do, which lies in wickedness, under
the power of the wicked one hath
blinded their mind of them that
believe not.
The prince of this world, Satan is
here designated this appellation,
ruler of darkness and spiritual
wickedness in high places , that the
idolatrous world particularly at
large was under his control and
subject to him, he rules in the heart
and lives of all wicked people and

executing fraud, rape, piracy and
murder, and adultery and filthiness

abomination, cruelty had blinded
the mind of them which believe not

that his dominion is secured by
keeping the world darkness.
LEST THE LIGHT OF THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL
WHO IS THE IMAGE OF GOD SHOULD
SHINE
This purpose of preventing the
light of the Gospel shining on
people, because is the only way
that people can be saved, and
secure their destruction he prevent
sinner from embracing that.
JESUS CHRIST is the sum and
substance of the Gospel, the
express image of his person
considered as to his divine nature
should shine into their heart.

1 JOHN 3:8

8)He that commiteth sin is of
the devil: for the devil
sinneth from the beginning,
for this purpose the SON of
GOD was manifested, that he
might destroy the works of
the devil
|
HE THAT COMMITTED SIN IS OF
THE DEVIL FOR HE SIN FROM
BEGINNING
Not everyone that sins, or commits
acts of sin, He that commit sin
habitually, willingly, who makes sin
is constant business , and the
employment life, whose life
continuing sinning ,is
characteristically is of the devil,
as if he were born of him, were his
child, really conformed to him, and
having his sinning nature, doing his
lust, which was told by JESUS
CHRIST to the Jews that they were
their father the devil JOHN 8:88
FOR THE DEVIL SIN FROM
BEGINNING
The Devil sin an rebel against GOD
, and by drawing in the rest of
apostate angels into rebellion
within, and by tempting man to sin
against GOD, for he is the originator
of lies and never adding in the truth
and his opposition to the Gospel,
he continue to perfect his strategy
of sin and always sin ,sin is his
nature.
FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF
GOD WAS MANIFEST
JESUS came in human nature,
whence it appears that he was the
SON of GOD was manifested that he
might destroy the works of the
devil; and the devil himself, and his
dominion power, and particularly
the power over death, and death
itself; and especially the sins of
men, which are the works of the
devil, which he put upon them,
influences them to do, and delight
in it, which are destroy by JESUS
CHRIST, by his sacrifice and death,
being taken, carried, removed
away, finished, and made and end
by CHRIST.

I JOHN 2 16-17
|
15)Love not the world,
neither the things that are in
the world, if any man love
the world, the love of the
FATHER is not in him
16)For all that is in the
world, the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes, and
the pride of life, is not of the
FATHER, but is of the world
17)And the world passeth
away, and the lust thereof;
but he that doeth the will of
GOD abideth for ever.
|
FOR ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD
The world is morally and evil
system that under the influence of
Satan and oppose to GOD kingdom
and to JESUS CHRIST’S kingdom on
earth, the world appeals to people’s
fleshy desires and thereby diverts
them from GOD
JOHN 12:31
JOHN 15:18
The world is characterized by
these three attitude’s, lust and
sensual craving for the flesh and the
lust of the eye and boastful pride of
life, the was tempted in the garden
with three different temptations,
which wicked men are conversant
in, such as carnal or grateful to the
flesh, visible to the eye, and
belonging to this vain life:
(1)Lust of flesh -craving for physical
pleasure, preoccupied with
gratifying for physical pleasures
(2)lust of the eyes- craving for
everything’s we see converting and
accumulating things bowing to the
god of materialism
(3) Pride of life-pride of our
achievement and possession,
obsession with ones’ status or
importance, vain glory
When the serpent tempted Eve he
tempted in these areas: GEN 3:6
and also, when the devil tempted
JESUS CHRIST in the wilderness, 20
these were the three areas of
temptation MATHEW 4:1-11
But GOD values self-control
godliness with contentment is great
gain, I TIMOTHY 6:6:10
A Spirit of generosity and
commitment to godly service
AND THE WORLD PASS AWAY
Seeing then that the love of the
world and the love of the FATHER
are absolutely incompatible, for the
world and its object riches, honor
are continually taken away from
men or men are taken away from
them, even the pleasure of lust it is
passed away as soon as enjoyed,
the pleasure of sin are but for a
season, and very shot imaginary
and leave bitterness and sorrow,
which bring ruin and destruction to
man
is already passing away, while not
only does the FATHER abides for
ever, but he who love him and does
his will abides for ever also.
