Jesus still talking to the scribes and Pharisees said to them, “Whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted” (Mat 23:12), then He pointed out to them how they exalt themselves. Apparently, there were some good among them because Jesus said, “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” (Mat 23:11).
Greatness is generally
attributed to those whose name is well known. However, being well-known is more
of a curse than a blessing. Some in government, for instance, say they want to
serve you, all the while making both a name and profit for themselves.
Pharisees were Jewish politicians
and the scribes the ‘bureaucrats’ who traveled with them to support their
narratives. Pharisees, once being great in Jewish history, desired to be great
again. They most certainly aspired to political power for themselves. For them,
Jesus was a roadblock to power who became the enemy of those who count. The Pharisees
were basically ‘anti-Christers’ who desired anyone but Christ to lead them.
They hated Jesus just because He was Jesus.
Jesus, on the other hand, had no
desire to be King of the Jews, although as the ‘son of David’ he was one of the
best known of the heirs to the throne of David.
Paul wrote about Jesus, “(He) made
Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made
in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself,
and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Ephes 2:7-8).
If Jesus had exalted Himself
before men, He would have been abased, according to His own words. Furthermore,
if He humbled Himself, He would be exalted, and for Christians, Jesus is indeed
exalted.
How did Jesus demonstrate His humility? In many ways, but the most obvious was His ‘Triumphal Entry’ into Jerusalem. Jesus was to ride a donkey, accompanied by its mother, according to prophecy:
Tell you the daughter of Sion, “Behold, your
King comes to you, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass,”
and the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, and brought the ass,
and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set Him thereon. (Mat 21:5-7)
Those who made a name for
themselves did not exalt Jesus; they humiliated Him, and the humiliation made
Him great in the eyes of those who knew the truth.
There was much politicking going
on at the time of Jesus. Everybody but Jesus who had made a name for himself
aspired to be king of the Jews: Herodians, Hasmoneans, Pharisees, thieves,
zealots, and terrorist sicarii who killed with impunity to inherit the throne
of David.
I am certainly not a proponent of
the so called ‘wall of separation between state and religion.’ Why? Because the
‘wall’ has always been a one-way barrier, keeping Christians out of the government
all the while allowing the government to abase religion, most often
Christianity.
Note that Rome was always open to
any religion, even Judaism, but when Christianity came to their city, suddenly
tolerant Romans became persecutors of Christians.
Only the apostate church has been
welcomed in Rome to this day.
The tolerant Roman government,
since Nero, has always diminished Jesus. As Romans persecuted Christians,
Christianity multiplied. Ironically, it was the intolerance of the Romans that promulgated
the Law of God, “The Lord God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden
to dress it and to keep it” (Gen 2:15). The Romans did that and magnified Jesus
by persecuting Him and Christians. Rome grew Christianity, not by worship, but
by intolerance.
When God put mankind over the
Garden (Israel), it was God’s way of promulgating the Garden of the Lord; first
it was with the Assyrians, then the Babylonians, followed by the Persians,
Greeks, and Romans. God was using mankind to dress and keep His Garden, Israel.

As the people became more
intolerant of and hateful toward Christianity, the more it grew.
In this age, politics works the
same way. The spread of Christianity has always been political. Even the humiliation
of Christ — the crucifixion — was a very political event in the same manner as
Julius Caesar was killed by aspiring politicians led by Brutus, Longinus, and
Albinas. They killed Caesar to attain power for themselves, but it would not be
them that attained power. Their failed government was a sort of triumvirate
like the previous Roman one that had power, but it was never meant to be!
Just as Caesars would enter Rome
after their victories, such as Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian after the destruction
of the Temple, Jesus entered in triumph to Jerusalem as if he would be King.
The people cheered because ethnic Judiah had been long without a king.
Although they cheered then for
the assumed victor — Jesus — the would be king was assassinated by conspirators
who did not want Israel to be great again, but for themselves have the power
again. At that time, the Romans were a sort of a protectorate to keep
malefactors such as Barabbas and the thieves on their crosses from gaining
power.
You have likely never been taught
that, but the crucifixion of Jesus was very much like the assassination of Julius
Caesar by the pretenders to become a triumvirate: Brutus, Longinus, and
Albinas.
The Jewish contenders for the throne
of Judea was also a triumvirate in the manner of the Romans. According to Josephus,
factions led by Simon bar Giaora, John of Gischala, and Eleazar ben Simon destroyed
the Temple while the future Caesar, Titus, tried to save what he could of both
the Temple and the city.
It was likely members of those
factions who were on their crosses beside Jesus.
All that to say that Jesus was
assassinated by those who sought political power.
Only Pontius Pilate who was
acting king and Caesar held the power in Jerusalem that day, and even he sought
to save Jesus. It was really Rome that dressed and kept the ‘Garden’ for it to
multiply!
Jesus could not be defeated by
humiliation, so since He stood in their way to power, Jesus had to die. His
death was indeed a political conspiracy with one common theme — Anyone but
Jesus. They were ‘Never Christers’ in the same manner as “Never Trumpers’
of this era.
That is not to say that Trump is
a ‘Christ,’ but is in a way, a ‘Pontius Pilate’ who believed that Jesus was who
He said He was.
Pilate endeavored to salvage
Jesus. He saw no problem in Jesus being great again. The Triumphal Entry into
Jerusalem had not been a threat to the rule of Pilate, but to those who craved
the Judean throne. The popularity of Jesus did not trouble the Romans because
he taught love and peace. What troubled Caesar and Pilate was the shadow government
under the aforenamed Jewish Triumvirate! Members of their factions were there
the day that Jesus was assassinated and one of the criminals escaped his
punishment. My bet is that Barabbas many have appeared at the destruction of
Jerusalem as freed prisoners often are.
There is a shadow government out to re-crucify Jesus. It is a worldwide conspiracy that has been known for time immemorial. It is not led by Obama or even Biden. Neither is it by Donald Trump. The conspiracy is the Devil, Lucifer, himself who issued a manifesto long ago:
‘The Luciferin Manifesto:’
I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Isa 14:13-14)
That was ‘Satan’s Manifesto’ the day
that Jesus died. Judas, with Satan in him, died that day, and the Holy Ghost
escorted Satan and sin to Hell.
Lucifer has his ‘godhead’ in the manner
of the Christian Godhead. Whereas the Christian Godhead is “King of kings, and
Lord of lords” in one Person, Jesus (Rev 17:14), the Luciferin godhead is the Devil
‘Satan,’ the Beast, and the False Prophet (Rev 20:10). Those images in a person
makes him the ‘Antichrist” whoever he may be at the time.
In a sense, the end-of-time government will
be a godhead or triumvir much like the Godhead and the Roman Triumvirate.
The modern ‘triumvir’ is the foul
global government, the apostate church, and shadow of dignitaries that run everything
from their cocoon in group meetings and who decide the fate of everything. They
dictate things to the world governments and those governments make them law. Even
the universal church heeds their commands as if God is sub-servient to mankind!
That, readers, is why I promote Trump
for president. He is the “Pontius Pilate’ of our era who, although a great
sinner, sees Jesus as God. Most of the other contenders for world leader are mere
instruments in Satan’s conquest for power.
No, Biden is not the Antichrist nor is
he Satan. He is a ‘useful fool’ who obeys the command of the shadow government
and who seems to be paid well for his part in overthrowing the dominion of
Christ in this New Age — The Age of Aquarius — the ‘Luciferin Age.’
This present age is Lucifer exalting
himself. Why cannot people see that?
[1][1] Scripture supports the notion
that Israel is the Garden of God in Eden before time began. Likewise geographic
names supplement that notion. Lot even saw the land of Canaan as the “Garden of
the Lord” (Gen 3:10) and the Jordan River is the Naral Ha Yarden in the
Hebrew — the ‘Garden of the Lord.’
