Luke 13
13:1 There were present at that season some that told Him [Jesus Christ] of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled [Mixed] with their sacrifices. [To Yahveh]
2 And Jesus answering said unto [To] them, Suppose ye [do you think] that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: [No way] but, except ye [You] repent, [Repent of your sins] ye [You] shall all likewise perish. [Be destroyed]
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew [Killed] them, think ye [You] that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: [No] but, except ye [You] repent, [Of your sins] ye [You] shall all likewise perish. [Be destroyed]
6 He [Jesus Christ] spake [Spoke] also this parable; A certain man [Yahveh] had a fig tree [Israel] planted in His vineyard; [His vineyard is this world.] and He came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
[In other words they didn’t do anything for Yahveh.]
7 Then said He [Yahveh] unto [To] the dresser [Caretaker] of His vineyard, [You are part of His vineyard.] Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: [It hasn’t done a thing for Me] cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
[In other words there is no reason for it to be in the vineyard, it just makes the ground useless, what it is doing here?]
[Three years was approximately the length of Jesus Christ’s and John the Baptist’s ministry.]
8 And he [The caretaker] answering said unto Him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
[In other words until I teach it some of Yahveh’s [God’s] word.]
9 And if it bear fruit, [If it does some work for Yahveh.] well: and if not, then after that Thou [You] shalt cut it down.
[In other words do what Yahveh [God] wants you to do because if you don’t bear fruit their will be no blessings for you, and you will be cursed with the curses as written in Deuteronomy Chapters 27&28.]
10 And he [Jesus Christ] was teaching in one of the synagogues [Churches] on the sabbath.
11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity [Sickness, weakness] eighteen years, and was bowed together, [She was doubled over] and could in no wise [Way] lift up herself.
12 And when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, [Himself] and said unto [To] her, Woman, thou [You] art [Are] loosed from thine [Your] infirmity.
13 And He laid His hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, [She straightened up] and glorified God.
14 And the ruler [The head preacher] of the synagogue [Church] answered with indignation, [He was upset] because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto [To] the people, There are six days in which men ought to [Should] work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou [You] hypocrite, doth [Does] not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
[In other words don’t you take care of your animals on the sabbath?]
16 And ought [Should] not this woman, being a daughter [Offspring] of Abraham, whom Satan hath [Has] bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
[Jesus Christ takes care of His children every day of the week.]
[Jesus Christ will loose the bonds of satan from most people during the millennium.]
17 And when He had said these things, all His adversaries [All the people that were opposed to His healing of the woman.] were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
[Our Lord Jesus Christ did much more then what was written in His Bible.]
18 Then said He, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
[In other words what is the Kingdom of Yahveh [God] like?]
[In verse 19 Jesus answers His question.]
19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, [The smallest seed] which a man [Yahveh] took, and cast [Threw] into His garden; [The world] and it grew, and waxed [Became] a great tree; [The mustard seed of Christianity.] and the fowls of the air lodged [Nested] in the branches of it.
[In other words the dirty birds, false teachers and preachers of Yahveh’s [God’s] word nested in it. Some of them teach the satanic rapture doctrine.]
20 And again He [Jesus] said, Whereunto [What] shall I liken the kingdom of God?
[The word Kingdom meaning the King and His dominion, the world and the universe.]
21 It is like leaven, [Leaven works slowly] which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
[Every knee will bow to Jesus Christ when He returns.]
22 And He [Jesus] went through the cities and villages, teaching, [Teaching the word of Yahveh.] and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 Then said one unto [To] Him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And He said unto [To] them,
24 Strive [The word strive here meaning to contend to the point of fighting Satan, so strive.] to enter in at the strait [Narrow] gate: for many, I say unto [To] you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
[Yahveh’s [God’s] Elect enter thru this gate when their flesh body dies or at the moment Jesus Christ returns to earth. Strait meaning narrow because there are many obstacles around it.]
25 When once the master [Jesus Christ] of the house is risen up, and hath [Has] shut to the door, and ye [You] begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto [To] us; and He shall answer and say unto [To] you, I know you not whence [where or what] ye [You] are:
[Souls [People] that followed the anti [Instead of] Christ satan and others who failed to put Jesus Christ first in their lives and obey Him will be shut out of Heaven the moment Jesus Christ returns. They will be shut out until The Great White Throne Judgment which takes place approximately 1000 years after the return of Jesus Christ.
They will be judged individually at The Great White Throne Judgment as to if they will be allowed to enter into Heaven. People who don’t make it will suffer the 2nd death which is the death of their soul. They will be cast into the lake of fire and will simply cease to exist. Your first death is the death of your flesh body.]
26 Then shall ye [You] begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy [Your] presence, and thou [You] hast [Have] taught in our streets.
[In other words they are saying that we have taken Holy Communion in our church for years.]
27 But He [Jesus Christ] shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence [What] ye [You] are; depart from Me, all ye [You] workers of iniquity.
[Iniquity meaning sin and wickedness.]
[They can’t come in because of what is written in St. Mark 13:17. Let’s go there.]
St. Mark 13:17
17 But woe [Grief] to them that are with child, [In other words grief to people who were deceived by the anti [Instead of] Christ satan.] and to them that give suck in those days!
[In other words they will be following satan the anti-Christ when he appears claiming to be Jesus Christ because they failed to learn Yahveh’s [God’s] word. Many of them will have sat in a church pew for forty years and are biblical illiterate. Many of them will have been deceived into believing in the rapture doctrine.]
[Let’s return to St Luke 13:28.]
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye [Ye meaning the biblical illiterate] shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust [Thrown] out.
[Thrust [Thrown] out of the Kingdom of Yahveh.]
[They will be in such a place as the rich man [Rich from ill-gotten gains] is written of in St. Luke 16:19-31. They will be taught during the millennium, a one thousand year period of time beginning when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.]
29 And they [Yahveh [God’s] elect, people that put Yahveh [God] first in their lives by doing His will] shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, [They are the preordained Elect.] and there are first which shall be last.
[They will be here in this generation, the generation of the fig tree written of in St. Mark 13:28-30. Let’s go there. It is also written of in St. Matthew 24:32-34.]
St. Mark 13:28-30
28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; [The fig tree is symbolic of Israel.] When her branch is yet tender, [Israel became a nation in 1948.] and putteth forth leaves, ye [You] know that summer [Harvest time] is near:
[Harvest time is the time Jesus Christ will harvest the earth of His people. All souls belong to Yahveh. It will be at the end of this earth age, the day Jesus Christ returns to Earth.]
29 So ye [You] in like manner, when ye [You] shall see these things come to pass, [The things we are told of in the verses preceding verse twenty eight.] know that it [Harvest time, the end of this earth age] is nigh, [Close] even at the doors.
[In other words it is almost come into being.]
30 Verily [Truly] I say unto [To] you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
[There are three generations Jesus Christ could be telling us about; there is a 40 year, a 70 year, and a 120 year generation. Israel became a nation in 1948. By adding the 120 year generation to 1948 I believe Jesus Christ will return some time before the end of the year 2068.]
[Some people say Israel became a nation after the six day war of 1967. If what they say is true Jesus Christ will return sometime before 2087. We will see what happens.]
[Let’s return to St. Luke 13:31]
31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto [To] Him, [Jesus Christ] Get thee [You] out, and depart hence: [Now] for Herod will kill thee. [You]
32 And He said unto [To] them, Go ye, [You] and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
[Perfected meaning His work will be completed on earth.]
[Jesus Christ was not afraid of Herod. He knew exactly the day He would be crucified. He had it planned.]
[It is my opinion verse thirty two also has to do with the three days between the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and the day He rose from the dead defeating death. While in the tomb Jesus preached to the spirits [Souls [People] in spiritual bodies] in prison in Heaven as written in 1 Peter 3:18-20. Healing them of their sins and on the third day was perfected meaning His work was basically completed on earth.]
33 Nevertheless I [Jesus Christ] must walk to day, and tomorrow, and the day following: [Jesus had work to do.] for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
[If a prophet was put to death it had to take place in Jerusalem because only the Sanhedrin who sat in Jerusalem had the power to judge a prophet to death. Jesus Christ wasn’t in Jerusalem.]
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest [Kills] the prophets, and stonest [Stones] them that are sent [Sent by Yahveh [God] unto [To] thee; [You] how often would I have gathered thy [Your] children together, as a hen doth [Does] gather her brood under her wings, and ye [You] would not!
[They would not listen to Jesus. They didn’t want anything to do with Him; they turned their backs on Him.
[Our Lord Jesus Christ was Emmanuel, Yahveh [God] with us in a flesh body. As it is written in St. Matthew 1:23, they shall call His name Emmanuel which being interpreted meaning God with us.]
35 Behold, your house [Family] is left unto [To] you desolate: [In other words they will be without Jesus Christ, they will be with satan.] and verily [Truly] I say unto you, Ye [You] shall not see Me, until the time come when ye [You] shall say, blessed is He that cometh [Comes] in the name of the Lord.
[They will see Jesus Christ when He returns to earth on the first day of the millennium because on that day every knee will bow to our Lord Jesus Christ.]
