RIGHEOUSNESS AND
WORDLINESS
JESUS CHRIST switches
the world value
completely around, He
rejected entirely the
materialism things of the
world and warns the
worldly and materialistic
that judgment is coming,
Blessed are the Poor, is a
poor and contrite Spirit
that trembles at the word
of GOD, this does not
mean that a person must
be poverty-stricken and
financial poor, hunger,
and slum are not pleasing
to GOD, especially in a
world of plenty, JESUS is
not talking of material
poverty, He means what
He added in Matthew 5:3
“Poor in Spirit” means
several things:
acknowledging that one
is solely dependent upon
GOD to meet His needs,
to acknowledge one’s
utter helplessness before
GOD one’s spiritual
poverty, one’s spiritual
needs, to acknowledge
one’s utter lack of
superiority before all
others and one’s Spiritual
deadness before GOD, to
acknowledge that no
matter what one has
achieved in this world
fame, fortune, power, he
is no better, no richer, no
more superior than the
next person,
He journeys through life
with a humble attitude,
that is, with an attitude of
being poor in spirit and
contribute all he can to
appreciation, he turns his
primary attention from the
things of the world, the
person who is poor in
spirit approaches life in
humility, the opposite of
being poor in Spirit is
having a spirit that is full
of self, self-righteousness
goes no farther than self,
that is no farther than
death, the only
righteousness is CHRIST
righteousness that lives
forever.
The promise to be poor is
outstanding that there is
the kingdom of GOD, the
poor in Spirit receives the
kingdom of GOD

4)Blessed are they that
mourn for they shall be
comforted
|
Blessed forgiven,
refreshed by GOD’S
grace are those who
mourn over their sins and
repent, for they will be
comforted when the
burden of sin is lifted
ISAIAH 61:2
To mourn is to grieve
over our own weakness in
relation to GOD’S
standard of righteousness
and to mourn over the
things that grieves GOD,
to have our feeling in
sympathy with the
feelings of GOD and to
afflict our Spirit over sin
for the sin of their nature,
indwelling sin, which is
always working in them,
and is a continual grieve
of mind, to have a broken
heart, it is the strong word
for mourning , it is sorrow
a desperate, helpless
sorrow, it is sorrow for sin,
a broken heart over evil
and suffering, it is
brokenness of self that
comes from realizing of
our sins, the person who
is desperately sorry for
his sins and unworthiness
before GOD, he has such
a sense of sin that his
heart is just broken, the
person who really feels
the distressed
predicament of others,
the tragedies, the
problems, the sinful
behavior of others, the
state, the condition,
lostness of the world, all
weigh ever so heavily
upon the heart of the
mourner, the persons who
mourns over their sins,
which leads to confession
and humility before GOD.
The person who mourns
will be comforted by
CHRIST Himself, CHRIST
was called the man of
sorrow and was
acquainted with grief, He
was able to comfort and
draw a person close,
those who mourn are
comforted be pardon
restored purity and
freedom by receiving from
CHRIST righteousness,
peace and joy in the Holy
Spirit ROMANS 14:17 for
godly sorrow worketh
repentance to salvation

with all the emotions and
ability to take and
conquer, but he is able to
control himself, he is a
disciple man because he

opposite of meek is
arrogance or pride, in too

air of superiority , a meek
spirit knows that he has

their refuge in Him and
commit they way entirely
to Him, they are , the self-
controlled, inwardly

concerned about GOD’S
work and GOD’S people
than about what might
happen to them
personally for they will
inherit the earth, they are
comfortable with
themselves , they know
who they are; they are
strong and confident in
CHRIST, yet tender and
humble, they know where
they are going; they are
teachable, they have
purpose and significant in
life, the meek have

6) Blessed are they which
do hunger and thirsty
after righteousness for
they shall be filled
|
Blessed joy full,
nourished by GOD
goodness are those who
hunger and thirst for
righteousness, those who
actively seek right
standing with GOD for
they will completely
satisfy by GOD, the
Spiritual condition of a
believer, all throughout
their lives will depend on
their hunger and thirst, for
the presence of GOD, the
word of GOD, the
communion of CHRIST,
believer hunger for the
things of GOD is
destroyed by worldly
anxiety, deceitfulness of
wealth, desire for the
things of the world, life
pleasure and failure to
remain in CHRIST, when
the hunger and thirst for
righteousness is destroy,
they will die Spiritually, we
must be sensitive to the
Holy Spirit convincing
work in our lives.
Real hunger and thirst, it
is a thirst that is dying
thirst, a person must
hunger and thirst for all
righteousness if he
wishes to be filled with the
fullness of life ,it isconditional that person
who is blessed is the one
who hungers and thirsts
for righteousness in the
heart, it causes a person
stress that he is saved
and acceptable to GOD a
person have to carve,
starve, and thirst must
seek righteousness more
by believing in JESUS
CHRIST and doing good,
righteousness is the only
thing that will fill and
satisfy man’s innermost
need, food and drink will
not, only GOD can fill a
life and satisfy the deep
need for permanent life,
being filled is to be led by
the Spirit, righteousness
meaning is to be right and
do right and said in
another way to be good
and do good.
The righteousness of
GOD has been shown to
man, just as what GOD
want man to be and to do
has been demonstrated
perfectly in JESUS
CHRIST, GOD has given
man what His written
10word describing his
righteousness, CHRIST is
the very image, the
expression of
righteousness of being
right and doing right,
believer who hunger
thirsty for righteousness is
wonderfully filled with
both abundant life and
eternal life, what is being
said is GOD alone is
righteous; He alone is
perfectly good, man is
not righteous, man
become righteous though
CHRIST righteousness,
which is the great love of
GOD, only GOD can fill a
life and satisfy the deep
need for permanent life,
the man who seek after
GOD, He puts on the
new or new man and
made new attitude and
mind, the man who seek
GOD and His
righteousness has taken
away the old man with its
worldly practice, the man
who diligently seek GOD
who really believes in
GOD, the man who so
hungers and thirsts for
GOD and His
righteousness shall be
counted as righteous and
shall be filled

|
PERSECUTED FOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS’
SAKE
Blessed are they which
are persecuted for
righteousness sake, who
seek to live in harmony
with GOD’S word, those
who uphold GOD’S
standards of truth, justice
and purity and those who
at the same time refuse to
compromise with the
present evil society or the
lifestyle on account of
their righteous and godly
conversation, for doing
what is morally right,
which brings them hatred
and enmity of the men of
the world for believers live
separately from them and
not belonging to the
world, it reproves and
condemns their wicked
lives and practices those
who are harassed,
hunted, spoiled, the fact
that they have endured
persecution, and still
stand firm and the
condition temporal loss to
which they have been
reduced by Our LORD
already announces the
treatment which He and
His followers will receive
from the world such
persecution, they have
suffered the loss, but they
are blessed for
righteousness sake,
because they are
righteous, or are thefriend of GOD
Believers who live and
speak for righteousness,
is opposed and
persecuted which reveal
the true nature of the
world is evil, the person
who care and works for
true love, justice, and
salvation of the world is
actually fought against it,
believers are forewarned
they are of the world, they
are called out of the
world, they are separated
from the world and their
behavior that is why the
world reacts against
them, they live and
demonstrated the life of
righteousness, they do
not compromise with the
world and its sinful nature,
they live pure and godly
lives, having nothing to do
with sinful nature of the
corrupt world, the suffer
persecution because the
world does not know
GOD nor CHRIST, they
want no GOD rather than
their own imagination ,
they just want to do what
they want and live by
fulfilling their own desire
not what GOD wishes and
demands , however the
believer dedicate their
lives to GOD, to His
worship and service

11)Blessed are ye, when
men shall revile you, and
persecute you and shall
say all manner of evil
against you falsely, for My
sake
12) Rejoice, and be
exceeding glad; for great
is your reward in heaven;
for so persecuted they the
prophets which were
before you
|
Blessed morally
courageous and
spiritually alive with life
and joy in GOD’S
goodness are you, when
people insult you falsely,
and shall charge you
unjustly and injuriously
reproach and ridicule you
by saying all kinds of evil
things against you,
because of your believe in
Me, love, obey and follow
me, rejoice let not this
load of outrage and
oppression discourage
and cast you down, these
words are particularly
directed to the followers
of CHRIST, and are
premeditated to inform,
that they should not be
exempted from reproach
and persecution, and to
be conscious of it andfortify themselves against
it, the world conceived
GOD to be the one who
fulfills their earthly desire
and lust, they think that
GOD protect, provides,
and gives no matter what
a person’s behavior is,
the true believer teaches
against such worldly life,
but GOD is love, but He is
also just and demand
righteousness, the world
rebelled against this
concept of GOD,
persecution can erupt
from most devilish
imagination of men , the
ungodly men want no part
of GOD; therefore, they
oppose those who talk
about GOD and believers
duty is honor and worship
GOD
But rather rejoice and be
exceeding glad , with
triumph for great is your
reward in heaven, such a
patient and cheerful
suffering of persecution
for CHRIST in this life, will
certainly be rewarded with
the glory and blessedness
of the life to come, which
will be by grace; for our
light and momentary
affliction are not worthy to
be compared with the
eternal and exceeding
weight of glory for so
persecuted they the
former prophets, who long
before your time, were
messengers of GOD

Woe a strong warning
was issued to the greedy

which is extreme sin that

add new purchases of
house, join house to
house and lands to their
former possessions,
sought to amass fortunes

rented property and land
as they could, without

of this ungrateful people,
and the punishment
decreed to their crimes,

to control entire blocks of
houses for rental
purposes, other tried to

farms, sadly, the land
barons and property
owners were not
accumulating wealth for
the purpose of helping the

word of GOD to the
unbelievers of the world,
rather, they were
amassing wealth from a
spirit of greed and
covetousness, glorying in
mere possession of
wealth they want to be
recognized as the rich,
famous, and powerful of

frankly, unless a person is
going to use his money to
benefit society, to help the
needy, or to carry the
gospel to the world, he
does not even need to
possess wealth,
IN MY EAR SAID THE
LORD OF HOST
The LORD of hosts He
who is GOD almighty
issued a strong warning
into which came the cry of
the sins to the greedy and
covetous; their houses,
mansions, and buildings
would be deserted,
without occupants, in
addition, their property

beautiful shall be
desolate, even though

they prefer erroneous and
fake doctrine to the true
word of GOD, they prefer
an evil to an upright
course of conduct
That put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter,
JEREMIAH calls
wickedness bitter, which
is always used to denote
sin
JEREMIAH 4:18
in PALMS 119:103 calls
3031
the word of GOD sweet,
which is used for
righteousness or holiness

21)Woe unto them that
are wise in their own
sight!
|
Woe to the prideful and
arrogant , being puffed up
with high opinion of their
own wisdom , the LORD
issue a strong warning to
them ,that they are
condemned to suffer the
punishment of GOD, they
think there are right in
their own opinion , they
are absolutely sure they
are right, they are wise
and prudent , therefore
they think they will not
accept the word of GOD ,
instead they use man
made wisdom and opinion
to formulate their own
religion, thus their god
becomes only a creation
of their won imagination
and ideas, they reject the
fact that GOD has
revealed Himself and the
truth about how to live a
fruitful and victorious life,
the prideful and arrogant
will bear the judgment
and punishment of GOD

22) Woe unto them that
are mighty to drink wine,
and men of strength to
mingle strong drink
23)Which justify the
wicked for reward, and
take away the
righteousness of the
righteous from him
24Therefore as the fire
devoureth the stubble,
and the flame consumeth
the chaff, so their root
shall be as rottenness,
and their blossom shall go
up as dust: because they
cast away the law of the
LORD of host, and
despised the word of the
Holy one of Israel
25)Therefore is the anger
of the LORD kindled
against His people, and
he hath stretched forth
his hand against them,
and hath smitten them;
and the hills did tremble,
and their carcasses were
turn to the midst of the
streets, for all this His
anger is not turned away,
but His hand is stretched
out still

WOE UNTO THEM
THAT ARE MIGHTY TO
DRINK WINE
Woe ,judgment is coming
to those who are heroes
at drinking wine,
apparently , this reference
to leaders and judges of
the nation, despite their
drunken unjust and
crooked behavior they
were looked at as hero’s
in their sin, they could
drink and of strength in
mixing intoxicating drinks,
the judges who acquit
criminals the wicked and
guilty for bribe and take
away the rights of those
who are righteous,
declare him to be in the
wrong by deciding his
cause against him
because of bribe, the
LORD pronounced
serious warning to the
unjust and bribe takers,
they overlook the
judgment of GOD, by
accepting bribes,
acquitting the guilty and
denying justice to the
innocent, they sentence
the just unjustly and free the
guilty and GOD knows
their sins and pronounce
His coming judgment
upon the unjust
oppressors
THEREFORE, AS THE
FIRE DEVOUR THE
STUBBLE
GOD’S judgment will be
quick, sudden and
complete, therefore a
general judgement is now
pronounced against all
the forms of wickedness,
a judgment of ruin or
destruction the type
taking from burning of
stubble and withered
grass by farmer when he
is cleaning his farm, were
as combustible as dried
straw and grass that had
been set ablaze, in the
same way, the blazing
judgment of GOD would
consume those who
sowed such evil action
AND THE FLAME
CONSUME THE CHAFF
The word rendered
“CHAFF” means hay or
dry grass, the word
“consumeth” denote to
33make to fall, and refers to
the appearance when a
fire passes though field
of grain or grass,
consuming the stalks near
the ground, so that the
upper portion falls down,
or sinks gently into
flames, as the dry grass
sinks down in flame, the
withered grass of pasture
was burnt, their
destruction will be easily
done speedily, and
entirely, which denote
their destruction would be
easy, swift, sudden.
THE ROOT SHALL BE
AS ROTTEN
So their root shall be as
rottenness, be rotten, or
decayed ,the root is the
last thing to decay, when
that fails, the case is
desperate, they shall be
like a tree which not
wither in its branches, but
dies and rots at the roots,
and therefore is past all
hopes of recovery, they
shall be destroyed both
root and branches
The reason for GOD is
judgment is unmistakable;
the people had rejected
GOD’S law and despised
His word, they have been
given GOD’S word as a
guide to their lives, and
they were to share
GOD’S word with the
world, but they failed to
share it, they want
nothing to do with the
commandment of GOD
and refuse to hid them,
they reject it themselves,
they rather chose to live
as they wished doing their
own things, living their
own way of sin, they
should have lived and
produce fruits of
righteousness, instead
they produce sinful fruit,
which will be consume by
judgment of GOD
THEREFORE IS THE
ANGER OF THE LORD
KINDLED
The lord is enraged or is
angry, his anger was the
crimes committed ,
because of the peoples
sin GOD’S anger was
aroused against them,
35and he hath stretched
forth His hands, to stretch
His hand is an expression
of punishment, protection
or invitation, in this case
is for punishment, and
hath smitten them-
punished them by struck
them, due to their sins for
despising the word of
GOD, so increased His
anger and indignation
against them refer to the
earthquake which
occurred in the days of
Uzziah and time of the
prophet AMOS 1:1
Zechariah 14:5 and the
hill did tremble, which is
GOD’S anger, it is well
adapted to describe an
Earthquake, which was
predicted, the mountain
began to shake, and
GOD’S enemies all who
rebelled against Him by
turning to sinful lifestyle ,
were doomed, their dead
bodies would be like
refuse in the streets,
rejecting GOD’S word will
result in the people being
given over to the
consequence of their sins
and to Divine punishment

13)But woe unto you,
scribes and pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye shut up
the kingdom of heaven
against men; for ye
neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them that
are entering to go in
|
CHRIST was attacking
and denouncing the
religionist, but also
warning them of their sin
that was great and
terrible , but was
unpardonable , they
shutting the door of
heaven against
themselves and others,
for false interpretation of
the word of GOD, they
prevented men from
accepting CHRIST
making the path
impossible for the
ignorant and poor,
keeping men from the
knowledge of the will of
GOD, neither themselves
teaching the knowledge of
GOD but that of the
doctrine of man
They will never be able to
enter themselves,
CHRIST dealt frankly and
openly with them, He
exposed the truth of their
hearts; they were full of
hypocrisy, they had to
look at themselves andsee
the corruption of their
hearts and had to repent,
believing and follow
CHRIST or else destined
to Hell.
False religionist shut the
door to heaven against
seekers, who standing
right at the door
desperately needing to
enter, but the false
religionist shuts the door
of heaven against them,
they themselves did not
enter Heaven because
they preferred a religion
that honored man’s ability
to do religious things
rather than religion that
honored GOD,S mercy for
man,
They chose the world
over GOD’S demand
for self-denial,
They chose the things
of the world such as
position, honor,
recognition, wealth,
power, authority and
security,
They rejected GOD as
Messiah, as being the
LORD from heaven,
They profess religion,
but did not really
follow GOD, They
never entered heaven
themselves, and by
their lives and
teaching, They misled
others and kept them
out of heaven,
They use religion for
their own end, to
advance themselves
professionally and
materially, the false
religionist not only did
not enter heaven
themselves, they did
not allow seekers to
enter, they shut the
door by misleading
people, and thereby
condemned to hell
apart from GOD

14)Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees,
hypocrites! For you
devour widow’s houses,
and for a pretense make
long prayer; therefore, ye
shall receive the greater
damnation
15)Woe unto you, scribe
and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye
compass sea and land to
make one proselyte, and
when he is made him
twofold more the child of
Hell than yourselves
|
FOR YOU DEVOUR
WIDOW’S HOUSE
The same woe
denounced, and a fresh
reason given of it to
Consume their substance,
by illegally exaction or by
working upon their
religious feelings, you
take away and get
possession of the
property widows by
improper arts and
pretenses, women who
have lost their natural
protector become their
prey, to these they attach
themselves, winning them
over by flattery and fraud,
and persuading them to
assist them with their
substance to the ruin of
their fortune, and for a
pretense make long
prayers: as if they were
very holy, good men, or
pretended that the
substance of these
widows, which they got
into their hands, was for
their long prayers for
them in return for their
substance
GOD had always
defended the cause of
widows, and had urged
his people deal gently and
mercifully
DEUTERONOMY 10:18,
27:19 PASLM 68:5
YOU COMPASS SEA
AND LAND TO MAKE
ONE CONVERT
False religionist are
missionaries who double
the corruption of new
followers, pretended Zeal
to win convert, to GOD
but with no view in mind
other than to make
instruments to serve their
own oppression and
cruelty,
the Zeal of the earlier
Pharisees had showed
itself in a propagandism,
self-religious scribes and
Pharisees, Hypocrites,
because you travel over
sea and land, you take
every means, spare no
pain, to gain to make a
single convert and when
he becomes a convert,
you make him two times
as much a son of Hell as
you are.
False religionist seek
converts, false religionist
are very Zealous in
evangelism; they brave
the world to make a single
convert, they were
Missionary of false
religion, they were willing
to go anyplace, they42
travel world-wide to reach
just one convert, they
were not reaching people
for GOD, but for a man-
made religion, they were
not bringing people to a
personal relationship with
GOD but to their own
ideas of religion
