The Point: No Hungry Begging = Rich Luxury = Hell

If you don’t ·crouch down and beg as a desperate poor person [πτωχοί (Mat_5:3; Luk_6:20); πτωχὸς…πτωχὸν (Luk_16:20-22)] now [νῦν…νῦν…νῦν (Luk_6:21, Luk_6:25)] hungering & thirsting for righteousness [πεινῶντες καὶ διψῶντες (Mat_5:6; Luk_6:21)], then Jesus says you will definitely go to hell [γέενναν] for being “rich” [πλουσίοις (Luk_6:24-25; 1Co_4:8; Jas_1:10; Jas_5:2 -- quoted later)].

>> Sync: herein

· There is a particular delicacy to luxury that makes you more vulnerable like a flower to perish in the heat of the sun (as opposed to one whose life is founded upon a rock of hearing and doing Jesus’ commands).

· Just as a man is rich, so also will he perish with his riches when they are ruined.

· When your life is invested (or tied up) in pursuing the nice things of this life, when they fade away and perish, you perish also with them!

· The roughness of a Rock remains and abides through a trial of the sun (as seen in the preceding context in the beginning of James 1), but the beauty of finer living perishes and burns up under its heat.

Luk_1:48 CAB [Mary Says:] …·He looked upon [ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ – fig. respected/valued/regarded/acknowledged] the ·lowly state [ταπείνωσιν – pressed-down-ness (same as Jam)/lowliness] of [that (of) (τῆς)] His maidservant [δούλης – female slave]; for [γὰρ] behold [ἰδοὺ – look], henceforth [ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν – from that of now] all [πᾶσαι] [the (αἱ)] generations will ·call me blessed [μακαριοῦσί – same as Mat & Luk].

Luk_

The Point:

(5b) Luke 1b – God Exalts the Humble/Hungry & Condemns the Proud/Rich

Luk_1:51-53 CAB ·He has ~~shown strength~~ [᾿Εποίησε κράτος – he has done mighty-ness] with His arm; He has scattered [διεσκόρπισεν] ·the [shinning over] proud in the imagination of their hearts [ὑπερηφάνους διανοίᾳ καρδίας]. 52 ·He has overthrown [καθεῖλε (κατά + αἱρέομαι) – i.e. lifted up (and put) down] ~~the mighty~~ [δυνάστας – powerfully able (ones)] from ~~their~~ thrones [ἀπὸ θρόνων], and exalted the lowly [ὕψωσε ταπεινούς (v. Luk_1:48) – lifted up the <<<<< pressed down (same as Jas_1:9 – ταπεινος…υψει)]. 53 He has filled [ἐνέπλησεν – same as Luk_6:25; seasonal provision: Act_14:17; Rom_15:24] ·the hungry [πεινῶντας (same as Mat & Luk)] with good things, and ~~the~~ rich [ones] [πλουτοῦντας] ·He has sent away [ἐξαπέστειλε – stationed out away from] empty [κενούς (i.e. He has sent them away with a vain and worthless empty life)].

>> lifted up the pressed down ????

Mary says the pressed down & hungry get lifted up & filled and the proud/rich/powerful get thrown down from thrones & scattered, & sent away empty.

The Point: You are in danger of being sent away empty and eventually thrown into Hell later for not caring or believing.

Who Do the Poor Crouchers Beg?

Who Do Poor Crouching Beggars, Beg?

Who to Beg to be Saved From Hell?

~11/22/17-11/26/17

We have seen from the Bible that “only poor crouching beggars” inherit heaven. But who do these “Poor crouch-ers” “beg”??

Rth_1:15-17 WEB & LB [LXX: And] She [LXX: Naomi] said [LXX: toward [πρὸς] Ruth], Behold, [LXX: that of (ἡ)] your sister-in-law [σύννυμφός] has gone back [ἀνέστρεψεν – LB: returned] to [πρὸς] her people [λαὸν], and to [πρὸς] [LXX: that of (τοὺς)] her god[s] [MT: “אלהיה” Plural???

Rth_1:17."

The Point: If you don’t repent of your confidence and independent “personal relationship” with god(s) and imitate the blessed and canonical faith of Ruth, and follow someone else’s God (like Ruth did to Naomi), then you will justly perish in eternal hell fire, and you will be fully guilty of your filthiness and perverse sins, and you will deserve every bit of torment and eternal torcher you get.

Biblical People Beg “US”

Poverty = Begging “US”

Poor crouching beggars are not ashamed to bow and beg Truth proclaimers for their God & salvation, but the rich try to reach god(s) on their own and end up justly condemned to Hell by the mouth of Jesus.

· …and all this is connected with “reigning as kings” without Paul: 1Co_4:8 / 2Co_11:5!

· They initially needed repentance that would save them [μετάνοιαν εἰς σωτηρίαν (2Co_7:9-11)].

· They eventually repented into salvation from the luxury of not needing/believing Paul’s inspiration (2Co_7:6-12).

The Point: This proves that being “Full, Rich, Kings “Without Us” = Hell”

You don’t need what we have in order to believe you are going to heaven (1Co_4:8, 1Co_4:18; 1Co_5:2, 1Co_5:6).

This proves you are rich, full, luxurious, and going to hell (1Co_6:8-9, etc.).

You got to be poor & hungry enough to beg the righteous for their God & salvation in order to inherit heaven.

Luxury means being already full & satisfied on your own without the righteous, and inheriting bitter hatred & going straight to hell for all such outrageous crimes & filthy sins of Pride and Injustice.

Luk_1:53 CAB He has filled [ἐνέπλησεν – same as Luk_6:25; seasonal provision: Act_14:17; Rom_15:24] ·the hungry [πεινῶντας (same as Mat & Luk)] with good things, and ~~the~~ rich [ones] [πλουτοῦντας] ·He has sent away [ἐξαπέστειλε – stationed out away from] empty [κενούς].

[i.e. go to hell -- Mat_7:23; Mat_25:41]

only poor inherit heaven.

Rich get turned away empty and go to hell.

Intro Notes to Watch For in The Following Points

…; 7/3/18

· Jesus blessed the poor IN SPIRIT who hunger and thirst after the righteousness.

· Jesus did not bless those who merely appear to be physically poor when compared to a rich and prosperous modern context.

· According to Luke 6: Woe to all those who are so rich that they don’t hunger and thirst after the righteousness, because they inherit hell.

Again, no sympathy for those who sin in gluttony and indulge in the pleasures of wine…

Don’t get confused and lose your orientation:

These are not the poor who will be made rich in heaven, but these are the ones who were rich on earth, and God judged them and made them poor. (see: Mat_5 & Luk_6)

Most homeless people are like this! They get drunk, they indulge, they do not hunger when a real poor person offers them truth!

The Point: Those whom our society sympathizes with, often get no sympathy from the righteous.

The righteous care about REAL poverty! (i.e. being poor in SPIRIT!)

Sirach 12 – Don’t Give To False Poverty, But Only True

Sir_12:1 If you do good, know for whom you are doing it,

and your kindness will have its effect.

2 Do good to the righteous man and reward will be yours, if not from him, from Yahweh.6 [6 [Sir12:2] most LXX “from the Most High” / LXX(O), Lat “from the Lord” / Syr “from his Lord”]

3 No good comes to him who gives comfort to the wicked, nor is it an act of mercy that he does.

4 Give to the good man, refuse the sinner.

5 Refresh the downtrodden, give nothing to the proud.

Do not give him arms for combat,

lest he use them against yourself;

for you will receive twice as much evil in time of need7 [7 [Sir12:5] LXX / Heb(A), Syr add]

for every good deed you do for him.

6 The Most High8 [8 [Sir12:6] LXX / Heb(A) “. God”] himself hates sinners,

and he inflicts punishment upon the wicked. and he keeps them for the day of vengeance.9 [9 [Sir12:6] LXX(II) adds]

Give to the pious man,

but refuse the sinner.10 [10 [Sir12:7] LXX adds]

· David was a writer of Scripture.

· He actually knew who the right God was (unlike all of the gross, pathetic, erroneous, ridiculous guesswork going on in churches today)!

· David knew (unlike our apostacy) that the right God would save him based on poverty.

· This shows us that an orthodox concept of the right God condemns the rich to not being heard or saved or forgiven when they pray.

Psalm 74 Considerations

· One of the biggest problems concerning all of the passages like this is that church people just keep on reading through these passages and never stop and think long enough to take them seriously.

· No one ever seems to read through these passages and pause and think and say to themselves, “if that is the blessed case with the poor, then that means the rich are in big trouble!”

· Despite textual variations, in both cases the Bible requests the afflicted to be spared from evil.

· The Bible requests help for the afflicted, and likewise parallels this with the blessed praise that is to come from the poor and needy.

· No care or concern or sympathy is taken or requested for the rich who already have everything they need.

· There is no Biblical sympathy for those in luxury.

· If rich people get ashamed/rejected, the Bible has no concern for their deliverance, but the Scripture constantly makes urgent prayer to God to spare the poor from this sadness, shame, and rejection.

· Only those who are poor and needy praise God’s name for their deliverance/salvation.

· After all, how could a rich person praise God for their deliverance when they are in fact sent to hell and never saved? (As confirmed in the Sermon on the Mount and everywhere else in Scripture, and documented in this Bible study.)

· And if you disagree, the evidence is stacked very heavily against you and the burden of proof is on you: you have to prove why else the Bible keeps speaking like this, otherwise, close your mouth and fear with reverence and submit to these weighty implications repeatedly taught all throughout the Scriptures!

Psalm 79 – God Forgives the Poor

Psa_79:8 WEB Don't hold the iniquities of our forefathers [KJV: former iniquities] against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need [KJV: brought very low^{H1809 H3966}].

Psa_79:8 LB Remember not our old [ἀρχαίων] transgressions [ἀνομιῶν]; let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us; for we are greatly impoverished [ἐπτωχεύσαμεν σφόδρα].

Psa_79:8 (78:8) μὴ μνησθῇς ἡμῶν ἀνομιῶν ἀρχαίων· ταχὺ προκαταλαβέτωσαν ἡμᾶς οἱ οἰκτιρμοί σου, ὅτι ἐπτωχεύσαμεν σφόδρα.

· “because” is used very similarly in Psalm 79 & Psalms 86

· Why should God forgive them?

· What does this Psalm appeal to?

· On what basis is it teaching us that we should pray to God for our sins to be forgiven?

Psalms 86 – The Sacred Poor Are Heard & Saved

>> Heb

Psa_86:1 WEB [A Prayer of David] Hear [>> Heb: MT: bend/stretch/“incline” your ear], Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Psa_86:1 LB A Prayer of David. O Lord, incline [Κλῖνον – bend/fold] Your ear [τὸ οὖς σου], and hearken to [ἐπάκουσόν – listen upon] me; for I am poor and needy.

Psa_86:1

Psa_86:2 WEB Preserve my soul, for I am ~~godly~~ [>> Heb: MT: kind/loving-sacred; (KJV: holy)]. You, my God, save your servant who trusts [>> Heb] in you.

Psa_86:2 LB Preserve [φύλαξον] my soul, for [ὅτι] I am ~~holy~~ [ὅσιός – sacred]; save [σῶσον] Your servant, O God, who ~~trusts~~ [ἐλπίζοντα – hopes] in [ἐπὶ – upon] You.

Psa_86:2

· “because” is used very similarly in Psalm 79 & Psalms 86

· “because” he is “poor and needy” (and even “sacred”) he requests being heard, preserved, and saved.

· Again, appeal is made to God’s sympathy for the poor.

· These poor people can be called “sacred”, but the rich are simply stuck in cruel pollutions.

· “preserve” and “save” are paralleled.

· Only poor, needy, loving/sacred, hoping/believing ones are to be “preserved” and “saved”.

· Nearly all churches make out like all these rich people can so quickly be stuffed through the eye of a needle all at once, all without any effort of striving or sacrifice of forsaking all, or even breaking a sweat, yet the Bible only saves the poor…

Reminder: Are we talking about circumstantial external poverty here, or are we talking about the REAL poverty of being afflicted in heart and poor in spirit? Is David physically and financially poor or is he really poor in the depths of his being by hungry and thirsty after truth and righteousness and loving the prophecy of Nathan even if it contradicts his own soul?

If someone goes through afflictions and trials yet maintain truth, and even if they are prospered later on in life they are the ones who are truly poor in spirit and approved by God.

Psalms 109 – God Hears & Saves the Poor (Not the Rich)

Psa_

Psa_109:22 WEB for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

Psa_109:22 LB Deliver [ῥῦσαί] me, for I am poor [πτωχὸς (same SOM)] and needy [πένης]; and my heart is troubled [τετάρακται – ABP: disturbed] within [ἐντός] me.

Psa_109:26 LB [cry-] Help [βοήθησόν] me, O Lord my God; and save [σῶσόν] me according [κατὰ] to Your mercy.

Psa_

· We see that Poor needy people with hurting hearts have a basis to believe God will help and save them.

· And what hope do the rich have that God will save them when they cry?

· How many times do the Scriptures have to repeat these values before someone lets Truth finally strike their heart so that they are gripped with conviction and mourn and cry out for salvation from being rich?

· they confess

· they turn from sin

· they get forgiveness

· They learn Truth

Psa_76:9 (75:10) ἐν τῷ ἀναστῆναι εἰς κρίσιν τὸν θεὸν τοῦ σῶσαι πάντας τοὺς πραεῖς τῆς γῆς. διάψαλμα.

· Now we finally see why the righteous like to talk about Judgement so much! (as also seen in Psa_10:17-18 below)

· The rich can’t even understand why there is a pause to cherish the thoughts here…

· (Read it again, and take note!)

· (that isn’t a complete thought! Why did he pause to cherish this so much?)

· When God Judges the world, He will only save meek/poor people.

· No “rapture” for rich church people like their vain fantasies boast in (see: “Left Behind”, “Omega Code”, etc. -- Churchy “rapture” movies where religious church people are supposedly secretly “raptured”.).

2nd Kings 22 Considerations

· People who morn and humble themselves when they find out that they have disobeyed the Bible are heard and recognized and spared by God.

· Note: it could very quickly become impractical to keep sinning if you took the Bible as serious as King Josiah did.

· If righteous people sinned as much as the hypocrites claim and boast, then they would never stop morning and tearing their close…

· This also proves that it is possible to stop sinning long enough to get some business done without tearing your clothes every single second of the day.

· James & Peter teach that God stands against the proud. (No way they are getting real comfort from heaven!)

· If you are not pressed down, your comfort is vain because it is not from (the Monotheistic) God.

Psa_34:2 (33:3) ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ ἐπαινεσθήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου· ἀκουσάτωσαν πραεῖς καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν.

Psalm 34 Considerations

· Psalm 34 is a song

· Psalm 34 is in the National Monotheistic “Hymnal” (i.e. the book of Psalms)

· David is singing an inspired praise song in Psalm 34 (it’s in the Bible after all, right?!)

· Notice that the praise songs in churches today make a boast in a god so that rich sinners can hear and rejoice.

· Today’s worship music is anti-Biblical because it contradicts Psalm 34.

· God only ordained that humble poor people would hear of David’s boasting in God and only they should rejoice in it together with David.

· All the worship music in the world is almost all useless, because it is designed for rich sinners.

· Even if their wicked temporarily rejoice in the good words of Truth, ultimately, in the end, it’s only the poor who get to rejoice in God’s impressive melodies and prophetic celebrations.

· Ultimately, only poor people get to rejoice with David in praising the real God.

Baruch 2 – The Poor and Hungry Soul is the Only one who Knows how to Legitimately Praise and Declare God Righteous

Bar_2:18 Br But [ἀλλὰ] the soul [ἡ ψυχὴ] that is greatly vexed [ἡ λυπουμένη ἐπὶ τὸ μέγεθος], which goeth stooping [βαδίζει κύπτον] and feeble [ἀσθενοῦν], and ·the eyes that fail [οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ οἱ ἐκλείποντες], and the hungry soul [ἡ ψυχὴ ἡ πεινῶσα (same as SOM)], will give thee praise [δόξαν] and righteousness [δικαιοσύνην], O Lord.

Bar_2:18 ἀλλὰ ἡ ψυχὴ ἡ λυπουμένη ἐπὶ τὸ μέγεθος, ὃ βαδίζει κύπτον καὶ ἀσθενοῦν καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ οἱ ἐκλείποντες καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ ἡ πεινῶσα δώσουσίν σοι δόξαν καὶ δικαιοσύνην, κύριε.

Bar_2:19 Therefore we do not make our humble supplication before thee, O Lord our God, for the righteousness of our fathers, and of our kings.

Bar_2:19 ὅτι οὐκ ἐπὶ τὰ δικαιώματα τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ τῶν βασιλέων ἡμῶν ἡμεῖς καταβάλλομεν τὸν ἔλεον ἡμῶν κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου, κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν,

The Point

· The righteous disown the wicked in order to be heard in praising the right God.

· You should do this too with all your own churches if you want your prayers and songs to be heard and received by heaven.

Defining the Sinfulness of Luxury

12/3/17-12/4/17; 3/26/18

· Luxury is the prideful Independence of being so full of riches (mud) that you loathe/resent the lifesaving food of Truth.

· Luxury is the sin of self-reliance / self confidence that is so outrageous that it demands hell / Eternal wrath from God.

· Luxury is when your heart is so full of riches that your pride will not afford any opportunity for you to beg Naomi for her God.

· Luxury is when you are so prideful that you will not believe the words we have from God (as Isaiah says, “who has believed our report?”)

Proverbs 14 & 19 – Rich People Have Worthless Friends

…But mercy on the poor is the real blessing

>> where to put?:

>> Heb

Pro_14:20 WEB The poor person is shunned^H8130 [KJV: hated] even by his own neighbor [????], but the rich person has many friends.

Pro_14:20 LB Friends [φίλους] will hate poor [πτωχούς] friends [φίλους], but the friends [φίλοι] of the rich are many.

Pro_14:20 φίλοι μισήσουσιν φίλους πτωχούς, φίλοι δὲ πλουσίων πολλοί.

Pro_14:21 WEB He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed [KJV: happy] is he who has pity [KJV: mercy] on the poor.

Pro_14:21 LB He that dishonors [ἀτιμάζων] the needy, sins, but he that has pity [ἐλεῶν] on the poor is most blessed [μακαριστός].

Pro_14:21 ὁ ἀτιμάζων πένητας ἁμαρτάνει, ἐλεῶν δὲ πτωχοὺς μακαριστός.

This is why the rich turn down real food, because they are already full of worthless friends.

WBC: where friends become family

>> Heb

Pro_19:4 WEB Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend^{H4480 H7453} [KJV: neighbour].

Pro_19:4 LB Wealth acquires many friends, but the poor is deserted even of the friend he has.

Pro_19:4 πλοῦτος προστίθησιν φίλους πολλούς, ὁ δὲ πτωχὸς καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑπάρχοντος φίλου λείπεται.

>> Heb

Pro_19:7 WEB All the relatives^H251 [KJV: brethren] of the poor shun^H8130 [KJV: hate] him: how much more do his friends avoid [KJV: go far from] him! He pursues them with pleas [KJV: words], but they are gone.

Pro_19:7 LB Everyone who hates his poor brother shall also be far from friendship. Good understanding will draw near to them that know it, and a sensible man will find it. He that does much harm perfects wickedness, and he that uses provoking words shall not escape.

Pro_19:7 πᾶς, ὃς ἀδελφὸν πτωχὸν μισεῖ, καὶ φιλίας μακρὰν ἔσται. ἔννοια ἀγαθὴ τοῖς εἰδόσιν αὐτὴν ἐγγιεῖ, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος εὑρήσει αὐτήν. ὁ πολλὰ κακοποιῶν τελεσιουργεῖ κακίαν· ὃς δὲ ἐρεθίζει λόγους, οὐ σωθήσεται.

The Point: Notice that the Friendships of the rich are all worthless, because they are not based on the value of the person, but on the cheapness of their riches.

Conclusion: Basically all of your friends are worthless.

2^nd Thessalonians 6 – Eternal Destruction In Flaming Fire

Like Food, But Not Silver – Genesis 27 vs. 1Timothy 6

· You are allowed to “like” certain foods [Gen_27:4 – ὡς φιλῶ ἐγώ]

· You are not allowed to “like” money/silver [1Ti_6:10: φιλαργυρία]

· Btw: Even whenever you may pursue “food and clothing”, you are still not supposed to divide up your cares in worry/anxiety into the next day, saying “what will we eat? What will we drink? What will we be clothed with?” -- after all these things the nations seek (Mat 6).

The only time that Jesus notices the rich is when they give their money away, in doing justice.

Compare this with the widow who gave away all she had: Mar_12:41-44*; Luk_21:1-4*.

Fig Revealing – The Unknown Sin of Extorting/Exploiting the Poor!

Luk_3:14; Luk_19:8; Sept.: Job_35:9; Psa_119:122; Pro_22:16

WordStudy on G4811 συκοφαντέω

sukophantéō; contracted sukophantṓ, fut. sukophantḗsō, from súkon (G4810), fig, and phaínō (G5316), to show, declare. To inform against, accuse falsely, calumniate. Literally a fig informer, one who watched and informed against persons who, contrary to law, exported figs from Athens. During a time of dearth in Athens, when provisions were scarce, a law was enacted that no figs should be exported out of Attica, the region where Athens is located. This law was not repealed even when a plentiful harvest made the law meaningless and gave occasion for some to accuse those who were caught transgressing the letter of the law. These accusers were called sukophántai, accusers of fig trafficking (or as we say in Eng. "sycophants"). By implication, meaning to extort by false accusation, totally defraud (Luk_3:14; Luk_19:8; Sept.: Job_35:9; Psa_119:122; Pro_22:16).

Examples of Modern Fig Revealing

· Reporting poorer life styles to code enforcement

· Making and/or exploiting rules to make poorer people pay for more / getting more money from them than they can afford

· Tow Truck companies (can often be very much like modern-day tax collectors/extortioners)

· Etc.

Abraham’s Righteous Logic is stunning:

You get good stuff now, you get hell fire later, especially when the poor get bad stuff in your presence.

(You could have done something to help.)

Also, do you enjoy pleasure every day like this rich man and all other harlots and sinners whom God has firmly determined to judge? (Luk_16:19; 1Ti_5:6 CAB But she who [ἡ δὲ] ·is living for pleasure…)

Warning: If you enjoy having more than you need, BEWARE! There are numerous holy and righteous ones who are likely way more worthy than you are, and they are coming behind in need! Won’t they rise up at judgement and condemn you just as Lazarus will?

She and her daughters lived in pleasure [εὐθηνίᾳ οἴνου ἐσπατάλων – ??; ABP-2006: prosperity they lived extravagantly], in ·fullness of bread and in abundance [πλησμονῇ ἄρτων]; this belonged to her and her daughters, and they did not help the hand of the poor and needy.

If you are poor, you will take whatever help you can get, even if it feels like a bitter wound, because you know that it comes from a faithful friend. The wounds of a friend are a hidden honeycomb, but someone who is not poor in spirit is already full of mud, and they hatefully loath and reject the sweet corrections of someone who has their better interest in mind.

Isa_17:4 Ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔκλειψις τῆς δόξης Ιακωβ, καὶ τὰ πίονα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ σεισθήσεται.

Isa_17:5 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim.

Isa_17:5 And it shall be as if one should gather standing grain, and reap the grain off the ears; and it shall be as if one should gather heads of grain in a rich valley;

Isa_17:5 καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ ἀμητὸν ἑστηκότα καὶ σπέρμα σταχύων ἐν τῷ βραχίονι αὐτοῦ ἀμήσῃ, καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ στάχυν ἐν φάραγγι στερεᾷ

Isa_17:6 Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree," says Yahweh, the God of Israel.

Isa_17:6 and as if there should be left stubble therein, or the berries of an olive tree, two or three on the topmost bough, or as if four or five should be left on their branches; thus says the Lord, the God of Israel.

Isa_17:6 καὶ καταλειφθῇ ἐν αὐτῇ καλάμη ἢ ὡς ῥῶγες ἐλαίας δύο ἢ τρεῖς ἐπ᾿ ἄκρου μετεώρου ἢ τέσσαρες ἢ πέντε ἐπὶ τῶν κλάδων αὐτῶν καταλειφθῇ· τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ.

Isa_17:7 In that day a man shall trust in Him that made him, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

Isa_17:8 They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the incense altars.

Isa_17:8 And they shall not at all trust in their altars, nor in the works of their hands, which their fingers made; and they shall not look to the trees, nor to their abominations.

Isa_17:8 καὶ οὐ μὴ πεποιθότες ὦσιν ἐπὶ τοῖς βωμοῖς οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, ἃ ἐποίησαν οἱ δάκτυλοι αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται τὰ δένδρα αὐτῶν οὐδὲ τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν.

Horrible People Despise & Forget a Poor Man’s Saving Wisdom

Ecc_9:15 WEB Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

Ecc_9:15 CAB and should find in it a poor wise man, and he ·should [thoroughly] save [διασώσει] the city through his wisdom: yet no man would remember that poor man.

Ecc_9:15 καὶ εὕρῃ ἐν αὐτῇ ἄνδρα πένητα σοφόν, καὶ διασώσει αὐτὸς τὴν πόλιν ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἐμνήσθη σὺν τοῦ ἀνδρὸς τοῦ πένητος ἐκείνου.

Ecc_9:16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

Ecc_9:16 And I said, Wisdom is better than power; yet the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not listened to.

Ecc_

Ecc_9:17 The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of them that rule in folly.

Ecc_9:17 λόγοι σοφῶν ἐν ἀναπαύσει ἀκούονται ὑπὲρ κραυγὴν ἐξουσιαζόντων ἐν ἀφροσύναις.

Sir_10:23 It is not right to despise a man who is wise but poor, nor proper to honor any sinner.

The Point: People nearly always don’t listen to Truth, and it is not because there is no wisdom to hear, but it is because of the poverty of the Truth speakers!

Jer_13:9 WEB Thus says Yahweh, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

Jer_13:10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.

Jer_13:10 even this great pride of the men that will not listen to My words, and have gone after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them. And they shall be as this sash, which is profitable for nothing.

Proverbs 23 Considerations

· The Point: You are not like a child (“Listen, my son”), who enters the Kingdom, if you don’t LISTEN!

· So many church people boast and brag all day long about how they have the simple faith of a child, but they don’t LISTEN to wisdom and right truth, and therefore they are NOT a child of Truth.

· They do NOT have the child like HUMILITY that Jesus said would save them…

Compare: Matthew, Mark, & Luke – Only Real, Poor, Pressed-Down Children Know Truth

1Sa_2:5 They that were full of bread are brought low; and the hungry have forsaken the land; for the barren has born seven, and she that abounded in children has grown feeble.

1Sa_2:10 The Lord will weaken His adversary; the Lord is holy. Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, nor let the mighty man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth; but let him that boasts boast in this: to understand and know the Lord, and to execute judgment and justice in the midst of the earth. The Lord has gone up to the heavens, and has thundered: He will judge the extremities of the earth, and He gives strength to our kings, and will exalt the horn of His Christ. And she left him there before the Lord,

1Sa_2:10 κύριος ἀσθενῆ ποιήσει ἀντίδικον αὐτοῦ, κύριος ἅγιος. μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ φρόνιμος ἐν τῇ φρονήσει αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ δυνατὸς ἐν τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ πλούσιος ἐν τῷ πλούτῳ αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἐν τούτῳ καυχάσθω ὁ καυχώμενος, συνίειν καὶ γινώσκειν τὸν κύριον καὶ ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς. κύριος ἀνέβη εἰς οὐρανοὺς καὶ ἐβρόντησεν, αὐτὸς κρινεῖ ἄκρα γῆς καὶ δίδωσιν ἰσχὺν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ ὑψώσει κέρας χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ.

Mat_13:10 CAB And the disciples approached and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"

Mat_13:10 Καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· διὰ τί ἐν παραβολαῖς λαλεῖς αὐτοῖς;

Mat_13:11 He answered and said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

Mat_13:11 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὅτι ὑμῖν δέδοται γνῶναι τὰ μυστήρια τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἐκείνοις δὲ οὐ δέδοται.

Mat_13:12 For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he shall be in abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

Mat_13:12 ὅστις γὰρ ἔχει, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ καὶ περισσευθήσεται· ὅστις δὲ οὐκ ἔχει, καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

Mat_13:13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

Mat_13:13 διὰ τοῦτο ἐν παραβολαῖς αὐτοῖς λαλῶ, ὅτι βλέποντες οὐ βλέπουσι καὶ ἀκούοντες οὐκ ἀκούουσιν, οὐδὲ συνιοῦσι.

Mat_13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says: 'Hearing you shall hear and by no means understand, and seeing you shall see and by no means perceive.

Mat_13:14 καὶ ἀναπληροῦται αὐτοῖς ἡ προφητεία ῾Ησαΐου ἡ λέγουσα· ἀκοῇ ἀκούσετε καὶ οὐ μὴ συνῆτε, καὶ βλέποντες βλέψετε καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδητε·

Mat_13:15 For the heart of this people has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn back, that I should heal them.'

Mat_13:15 ἐπαχύνθη γὰρ ἡ καρδία τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου, καὶ τοῖς ὠσὶ βαρέως ἤκουσαν, καὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐκάμμυσαν, μήποτε ἴδωσι τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς καὶ τοῖς ὠσὶν ἀκούσωσι καὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ συνῶσι καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσι, καὶ ἰάσομαι αὐτούς.

Mat_13:16 "But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears, because they hear.

Mat_13:16 ῾Υμῶν δὲ μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ, ὅτι βλέπουσι, καὶ τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἀκούουσιν.

Mat_13:34 CAB Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds, and without a parable He did not speak to them,

Mat_13:34 Ταῦτα πάντα ἐλάλησεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐν παραβολαῖς τοῖς ὄχλοις, καὶ χωρὶς παραβολῆς οὐδὲν ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς,

Mat_13:35 so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things having been hidden from the foundation of the world."

Mat_13:35 ὅπως πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος· ἀνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὸ στόμα μου, ἐρεύξομαι κεκρυμμένα ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου.

Mat_13:36 Then having dismissed the crowds, Jesus went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."

Mat_13:36 Τότε ἀφεὶς τοὺς ὄχλους ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν. Καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· φράσον ἡμῖν τὴν παραβολὴν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ.

Mat_15:12 Then His disciples approached [προσελθόντες] and said to Him, " You know [οἶδας] that when the Pharisees heard this message [τὸν λόγον] they were offended [ἐσκανδαλίσθησαν]?"

Mat_15:12 Τότε προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ εἶπον αὐτῷ· οἶδας ὅτι οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον ἐσκανδαλίσθησαν;

Mat_15:13 But [δὲ] He [ὁ] answered [ἀποκριθεὶς] ~~and~~ said, "Every plant [φυτεία] which [ἣν] My heavenly Father [ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ οὐράνιος] has not planted [οὐκ ἐφύτευσεν] will be uprooted [ἐκριζωθήσεται].

Mat_15:14 ·Leave them alone [ἄφετε αὐτούς]. They are blind guides [ὁδηγοί] of the blind [ὁδηγοί εἰσι τυφλοί τυφλῶν]. And if the blind guides [ὁδηγῇ] the blind, both will fall into a ditch."

Mat_15:15 Then Peter answered and said to Him, "Explain [φράσον (G5419)] to us this parable."

Mat_15:15 ᾿Αποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· φράσον ἡμῖν τὴν παραβολήν ταύτην.

Mat_15:16 So Jesus said, "Are you also still without understanding?

Psa_10:2 WEB In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

Psa_10:2 (9:23) ἐν τῷ ὑπερηφανεύεσθαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἐμπυρίζεται ὁ πτωχός, συλλαμβάνονται ἐν διαβουλίοις, οἷς διαλογίζονται.

Psa_10:3 WEB For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings [KJV: desire]. He blesses the greedy, ·and condemns Yahweh [KJV: whom the LORD abhorreth].

Psa_10:3

Psa_10:4 WEB The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.

Psa_10:4 LB?? The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after Him; God is not before him.

Psa_10:5 His ways are profane at all times; Your judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.

Psa_10:5 (9:26) βεβηλοῦνται αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ, ἀνταναιρεῖται τὰ κρίματά σου ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ κατακυριεύσει·

Psa_10:9 (9:30) ἐνεδρεύει ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ ὡς λέων ἐν τῇ μάνδρᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἐνεδρεύει τοῦ ἁρπάσαι πτωχόν, ἁρπάσαι πτωχὸν ἐν τῷ ἑλκύσαι αὐτόν·

Proverbs 19 – A Fool with Luxury is Disgusting/Despicable

Jeremiah 49 & Zephaniah 1 – Fire Will Burn Those Confident by Luxury

Jeremiah & Zephaniah Threaten the Rich

Jeremiah Questions Confidence in Luxury

Jer_49:4 WEB Why glory you in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? who trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come to me?

Jer_49:4 CAB Why do you boast in the plains of the Enakim, you haughty daughter, that trust in your treasures, that say, Who shall come ·in to [ἐπ᾿] me?

Jer_49:4 (30:20) τί ἀγαλλιάσῃ ἐν τοῖς πεδίοις Ενακιμ, θύγατερ ἰταμίας ἡ πεποιθυῖα ἐπὶ θησαυροῖς αὐτῆς ἡ λέγουσα Τίς εἰσελεύσεται ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ;

Zephaniah Condemns Confidence in Luxury

Zep_1:18 WEB Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh's wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.

Zep_1:18 CAB And their silver and their gold shall by no means [οὐ μὴ] be able to rescue them [δύνηται ἐξελέσθαι] in the day of the Lord's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of His jealously; for He will bring a speedy destruction on all them that inhabit the land.

Zep_1:18

Jeremiah & Zephaniah Considerations

· Are people in richer countries more confident?

· Does that include church people?

· Where does this boasting & confidence come from?

· Are confident rich American church people going to heaven?

The Point: Don’t boast in anything good you have if you are still evil.

Stop any and all luxury that makes you confident as long as you remain under God’s wrath.

Jeremiah 9 & Corinthian Letters – Don’t Boast in Strength, But Boast in Truth

>> move to: llo?

Jer_9:23 WEB Thus says Yahweh, Don't let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, don't let the rich man glory in his riches;

Jer_9:23 CAB Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth;

Jer_9:23

Jer_9:24 but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice [???], and righteousness [???], in the earth: for in these things I delight, says Yahweh.

Jer_9:24 but let him that boasts boast in this [ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἐν τούτῳ καυχάσθω ὁ καυχώμενος]: the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercises mercy, and judgment [κρίμα], and righteousness [δικαιοσύνην] upon the earth; for in these things is My pleasure, says the Lord.

Jer_9:24 (9:23) ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἐν τούτῳ καυχάσθω ὁ καυχώμενος, συνίειν καὶ γινώσκειν ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ποιῶν ἔλεος καὶ κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἐν τούτοις τὸ θέλημά μου, λέγει κύριος.

Jeremiah 9 Considerations

· If you cannot accurately and Truly describe your interactions with God in terms of mercy, and judgement, and real justice/righteousness, then your knowledge/"relationship" is fraudulent and rejected by God.

· for example: if your relationship with God does not include “no kissing” and “no holding hands” outside of marriage (1Co_7, 1Ti_5, etc.), and does not help women cover their heads (Num_5; 1Co_11), and does not condemn Catholic and Protestantism, and doesn’t believe that you have to be discipled to obey all the Bible to go to heaven (Mat_7; Mat_28:18-20; Mar_16:15-18), then you clearly do not have Justice in your "personal relationship", and have no salvation to boast in.

· You are only allowed to boast/rejoice if you have “knowledge” God’s “Justice” & “Judgement” identity (Jer_9:24).

Now, having read the original context, we can follow the New Testament quotes a lot more accurately!

1Co_1:29 CAB so that no flesh may boast before God.

1Co_1:29

1Co_1:30

Comparisons & Considerations: You Can Mock Rich Sinners, But Not Poor People

>>Scrip:

· Consider: Elijah mocking the prophets a Bail

· Did Elijah mock the prophets of Bail at their destruction?

· He mocked them to the point of killing them!

· So what is the difference between righteous Elijah and the sinner who sins against the poor here?

· I just told you!

· The prophets of Bail were not poor!

· Those wicked rich religious people who are in style and popular -- the Bible clearly approves of mocking them.

· Elijah mocked the prophets of Bail, and appropriately also mocked Bail himself.

· But the poor righteous person who hopes in obeying the Bible? -- You better not ever mock him, because then you are mocking God Himself!

General Considerations – Rich Are Guilty Even Though They Pretend that They Are Not Hurting Anyone

· Even if you think you are going to heaven, you are going to hell as a completely guilty and crewel sinner who has persecuted and murdered the poor with your luxury.

· Every act of luxury results in the poor righteous man being persecuted more by you and by society.

· Even though you justify yourself and pretend that you are innocent and not hurting people, yet because you indulge in luxury, you have partaken of the sins that kill the righteous and hurt them with unspeakable injustices.

· Indeed you are guilty, yes, very guilty for being rich.

Beauty or Virtue?

· Most perverts in our society and day and age think that just because they’re doing well and successful, God must like their worthless selves!

· God likes the beautiful things that He makes, and the Bible draws this out many times (such as Song of Songs), but this in and of itself alone does not satisfy His fundamental demand for virtue and Truth.

· God might rejoice in Beautiful things, but He does not Test and approve (to be good) [εὐδοκεῖ] of any creature because of their beauty.

A Forewarning of Hypocrisy

· I already know that wicked church liars are going to blaspheme proclamations like this Bible study and find fault with the poor whenever God chooses to finally reward them.

· Make no mistake: wicked and mindless hypocrites will accuse the righteous of breaking their own preaching whenever God exalts them, even though we have so clearly written these things ahead of time here.

· So whenever they lie and play games against the Truth, know for sure we have already forewarned and foretold of this ahead of time, and mindless people will go on ignoring and choosing ignorance over the clear and very consistent rules which the Bible preaches through the righteous.

General Examples – Sinful Indulgence vs. Blessed Rewards

-- Under Construction --

This sub-point is still under construction.

Take it to heart: There is a vital/eternal difference between a rich person indulging in unlawful luxury, and God rewarding and exalting a truly poor person in an extravagant/luxurious way.

>>Scrip:

Scriptures we need to look up and consider:

· God condemns “finding your own pleasure”.

· Satan says: ‘I will give you all this if you bow down and worship me’ -- and this is where virtually everyone else gets rich and luxurious.

· The harlot (throughout the OT & Revelation) lives in pleasures every day which promote more and more sin.

· God is not Satan -- therefore all blessings from God, which are not given through Satan, are good and clean and untainted from Luxurious indulgence, by their very nature.

· Sarah said, “God has filled my mouth with laughter”. (No sin there, just as with any good thing God so freely gives.)

· If God lifts up David and exalts him, it is right (and orthodox) to cooperatively receive both good (financial blessing) and evil (poverty / coming behind in want) from God’s hand. (compare: Job & Paul’s “secret to contentment”.)

· When the Bible preaches poverty for salvation, that does not imply that God is disallowing Himself from ever making a righteous person physically rich or blessed, or that He must frown upon His own delight in rewarding His favorite people! (that’s what church hypocrites imagine when creating their own straw man arguments against the Bible’s demands for real poverty…)

· Job said, ‘will we receive good from God’s hand, and not evil?’ -- Receiving BOTH is the only real orthodox answer.

· We should receive whatever God Gives us -- good or bad -- and never find our own indulgent and sinful pleasures, especially in this sinful life and this evil age.

Ezekiel 28 – The Devil Fell From Luxury

Eze_28:13 WEB You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.

Eze_28:13 LB You were in the delight of the paradise [τρυφῇ τοῦ παραδείσου] of God; you were adorned with every precious stone—the sardius, topaz, emerald, carbuncle, sapphire, jasper, silver, gold, ligure, agate, amethyst, chrysolite, beryl and onyx; and you have filled your treasures and your stores in you with gold.

Eze_28:13 ἐν τῇ τρυφῇ τοῦ παραδείσου τοῦ θεοῦ ἐγενήθης· πᾶν λίθον χρηστὸν ἐνδέδεσαι, σάρδιον καὶ τοπάζιον καὶ σμάραγδον καὶ ἄνθρακα καὶ σάπφειρον καὶ ἴασπιν καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ λιγύριον καὶ ἀχάτην καὶ ἀμέθυστον καὶ χρυσόλιθον καὶ βηρύλλιον καὶ ὀνύχιον, καὶ χρυσίου ἐνέπλησας τοὺς θησαυρούς σου καὶ τὰς ἀποθήκας σου ἐν σοὶ ἀφ᾿ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐκτίσθης σύ.

Genesis 3 & Ezekiel 31 – God Kicked Sinful Man Out of the Luxury of the Garden

7/20/17

Genesis 3 – No More (Continual) Luxury for Humans! -- Man’s Punishment for Sin

Gen_3:22 WEB Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..."

Gen_3:22 And God said, “Behold, Adam has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest at any time he stretch forth his hand, and take of the tree of life and eat, and so he shall live forever”—

Gen_3:22 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεός Ἰδοὺ Αδαμ γέγονεν ὡς εἷς ἐξ ἡμῶν τοῦ γινώσκειν καλὸν καὶ πονηρόν, καὶ νῦν μήποτε ἐκτείνῃ τὴν χεῖρα καὶ λάβῃ τοῦ ξύλου τῆς ζωῆς καὶ φάγῃ καὶ ζήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

Gen_3:23 WEB Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden^H5731 [pleasure/delight/delicacy], to till the ground from which he was taken.

Gen_3:23 CAB so the Lord God sent him forth out of the garden [παραδείσου] of Eden^G5172 [τρυφῆς*- < “θρύπτω …(to break up” (Str) – soft/pleasure/luxury], to cultivate the ground out of which he was taken.

Gen_3:23 καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτὸν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἐκ τοῦ παραδείσου τῆς τρυφῆς ἐργάζεσθαι τὴν γῆν, ἐξ ἧς ἐλήμφθη.

Gen_3:24 WEB So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden^H5731 [pleasure/delight/delicacy], and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

Gen_3:24 And He cast out Adam and caused him to dwell outside of ·the garden of Eden [τοῦ παραδείσου τῆς τρυφῆς*], and stationed the cherubim and the fiery sword that turns about to keep the way of the tree of life.

Gen_3:24 καὶ ἐξέβαλεν τὸν Αδαμ καὶ κατῴκισεν αὐτὸν ἀπέναντι τοῦ παραδείσου τῆς τρυφῆς καὶ ἔταξεν τὰ χερουβιμ καὶ τὴν φλογίνην ῥομφαίαν τὴν στρεφομένην φυλάσσειν τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ ξύλου τῆς ζωῆς.

* As said previously, “Comp. G5142/τρέφω (Nourish) with G5172/τρυφή (Break Up)”.

Genesis 3 Considerations

· Don’t contradict God’s justice of kicking sinners out of luxury.

· It is wrong to contradict God’s punishment by finding ways for your sinful body to keep enjoying luxury, even though God ejected all mankind from this pleasure when they sinned with it.

· Luxury is wrong to live in because God’s punishment for sinful man was to forbid them from reentering continual paradise/luxury.

· Real disciples die to themselves and wait in hope for clean and sinless luxury from heaven when their bodies no longer have sin in them, and they can enjoy continual delight without reinforcing the madness of sin (as seen at the end of Revelation and throughout other prophecies in the Bible).

The Point: How Luxury Proves You’re Condemned

· Where is the Philippian Jailor?

· Where is Ruth the Moabites?

· Where is anyone who is truly poor in spirit enough to be a poor crouching beggar and beg the righteous for salvation?

· Seeing virtually none among all the humans of the earth…
Seeing that YOU have not humbled yourself to get poor when God commanded it…
Seeing that YOU think you are going to heaven without us even though you are disobeying the Bible and not begging like the Philippian Jailor & Ruth,
and therefore Seeing that YOU are living in sin and breaking all of God’s Rules…
that means that Luxury proves YOU are condemned!
