SCRIPTURE TREATED THE SAME TODAY
Luke 11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
Israel had religious experts that utterly failed in their presentation of the meaning of the scriptures. Many and I mean many today are in the pulpits making disgusting statements of God’s wisdom He left us. One denomination is not to blame for Satan knew the task at hand. Back then there were called lawyers (Scribes). They were to present the key of knowledge to the needy people of Israel. The outcome of their messages or sermons were evidenced by the declining numbers of true worshipers They resorted to false systems to stymie those decline in numbers. Here are some verses which typify what we see today going on in the churches.
Luke 11 above tells of our modern day science movement that denies the first 11 chapters of Genesis denying its knowledge and wisdom.
“foundation of the world” It is important to note that the blood of God’s prophets (beginning with Abel) has been shed “from the foundation of the world,” not beginning four billion years after the foundation of the world. This is an incidental, yet striking, confirmation that the world was created from start to finish in six literal days. See also Mark 10:6, etc. Isn't it interesting how He says they mistreated His words concerning His account of Creation in the first 11 chapters of Genesis and is still being treated in the same manner today. The passage here is paraphrased from 2 Chronicles 36:15-16.
2 Chron. 36:15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
Twisting scripture is accomplished by many. Many just mock the importance of His wisdom thereby identifying their beliefs. Lawlessness treats His words as useless and without authority. His wrath was displayed in their day and in the Great Tribulation will be the completed display of playing foolishly with His wisdom. There will be no remedy in that day for their utter folly with His wisdom He left them. They are without excuse.
This misuse and mistrust is being accomplished both in the pulpit and the pew today. Many, especially the kids, have left the Church because of what they have both witnessed and heard. Nothing in the Church fills the vacancy they know they possess. So what has the Church today done to attract those diminishing numbers? They attempt to entertain them, feed them, or just make false displays of God’s great powers.
2 Chron. 30:10 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
A true saint takes a sincere message out to people in need and this is the same response they get. Laughed at and scorned. God knew this day was coming and is a part of His plan. Nothing takes Him by surprise.
Not much difference today as in Israel’s great day.
