The Life of Yeshua the Messiah from a Jewish Perspective Part 10

Life of the MessiahThe Ministry of the King

Matthew 12; Mark 3:22–27; Luke 11:17–23

22Then one was brought to Him who was(1) demon-possessed, (2) blind and (3) mute;and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man bothspoke and saw.23And all the multitudes were amazed and said,“Could this be the Son of David?”24Now when the Pharisees heard it they said,“This fellow does not cast out demons except byBeelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”Baal Zebul – Lord of the PalaceBaal Zevuv – Lord of the Flies

25But Yeshua knew their thoughts, and said tothem: “Every kingdom divided against itself isbrought to desolation, and every city or housedivided against itself will not stand.“The Unpardonable Sin”

Pharisees Blaspheme the Holy Spirit“Every kingdom divided against itself is broughtto desolation, and every city or house dividedagainst itself will not stand. 26 If Satan casts outSatan, he is divided against himself. How thenwill his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast outdemons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sonscast them out? Therefore they shall be yourjudges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spiritof God, surely the kingdom of God has comeupon you.

Pharisees Commit the Unpardonable SinMark 3:28, 2931“Therefore I say to you, every sin andblasphemy will be forgiven men, but theblasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgivenmen. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against theSon of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoeverspeaks against the Holy Spirit, itwill not be forgiven him,either in this age or in the age to come.

Empty Houses will be occupied.12:43 But the unclean spirit, when he is goneout of the man, passes through waterless places,seeking rest, and doesn't find it.12:44 Then he says, 'I will return into my housefrom which I came out,' and when he has comeback, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.12:45 Then he goes, and takes with himselfseven other spirits more evil than he is, and theyenter in and dwell there. The last state of thatman becomes worse than the first.Even so will it be also to this evil generation."

1. Is a National Sin not a Personal Sin.2. Is specific to That Generation.3. This sin is not applied to future generations.4. Negated the Kingdom Offer to that Generation.5. Changed Yeshua’s Method of Teaching;a. From Clear Propositional Teaching.b. To a New Parabolic Method.6. The Kingdom is now Postponed until a laterfuture generation that is prepared to receivethe Messianic Person.

1. Before this event Yeshua healed for thepurpose of his authenticating Messianic Claims2. He did not require faith. Sometimes they didnot even know who he was.3. Miracles are no longer performed to themultitude. Instead he performs individualmiracles on the basis of faith.4. The Sign of Jonah is for the Multitude.1. Lazarus2. Yeshua3. Two Witnesses of the Book of Revelation.

Pharisees Demand a SignLuke 11:24–26, 29–3238Then some of the scribes and Phariseesanswered, saying,“Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39But He answered and said to them,“An evil and adulterous generation seeks after asign, and no sign will be given to it except thesign of the prophet Jonah.40For as Jonah was three days and three nightsin the belly of the great fish, so will the Son ofMan be three days and three nights in the heartof the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will rise up inthe judgment with this generation and condemnit, because they repented at the preaching ofJonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.”

1. The Resurrection of Lazarus – John 112. Messiah’s Resurrection – Matthew 283. Two Witness in Jerusalem – Rev. 11

Matthew 13On the same day Yeshua wentout of the house and sat by the sea. 2 And greatmultitudes were gathered together to Him, so thatHe got into a boat and sat; and the wholemultitude stood on the shore.Question! The same day as what?

Matthew 1310And the disciples came and said to Him,“Why do You speak to them in parables?”11He answered and said to them,“Because it has been given to you to know themysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to themit has not been given.”13Therefore I speak to them in parables, becauseseeing they do not see, and hearing they do nothear, nor do they understand.(Since the Unpardonable sin has beencommitted the kingdom offer has beenpostponed until a generation is willing toaccept it.)

Matthew 13:10And the disciples cameand said to Him,“Why do You speak tothem in parables?”

Psalm 781Give ear, O my people, to my law;Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.2I will open my mouth in a parable;I will utter dark sayings of old,3Which we have heard and known,And our fathers have told us.4We will not hide them from their children,Telling to the generation to come thepraises of the Lord,And His strength and His wonderful worksthat He has done.

Matthew 13:1111He answered and said to them,“Because it has been given to you to know themysteries of the kingdom of heaven,but to them it has not been given.13Therefore I speak to them in parables, becauseseeing they do not see, and hearing they do nothear, nor do they understand.Mark and Luke uses the phrase“Kingdom of God”

Kingdom of Heaven = Kingdom of GodMatthew Uses Kingdom of GodMark and Luke use Kingdom of Heaven

The ChurchAge is aMystery.Secret Form of the kingdom not revealed before.“The Church Age”

Romans 11:2525For I do not desire, brethren, thatyou should be ignorant of thismystery, lest you should be wise inyour own opinion, that blindness inpart has happened to Israel until thefullness of the Gentiles has come in.26And so all Israel will be saved….

Romans 16:2525Now to Him who is able to establishyou according to my gospel and thepreaching of Jesus Christ, according tothe revelation of the mystery keptsecret since the world began 26 butnow made manifest, and by theprophetic Scriptures made known toall nations

1 Corinthians 2:66However, we speak wisdom among thosewho are mature, yet not the wisdom of thisage, nor of the rulers of this age, who arecoming to nothing. 7 But we speak thewisdom of God in a mystery, the hiddenwisdom which God ordained before theages for our glory, 8 which none of therulers of this age knew; for had theyknown, they would not have crucified theLord of glory.

1 Corinthians 15:5151Behold, I tell you a mystery:We shall not all sleep, but we shallall be changed— 52 in a moment,in the twinkling of an eye, at thelast trumpet. For the trumpet willsound, and the dead will be raisedincorruptible, and we shall bechanged.

The Parable of the Sower of theSeeds on various types of soil is keyto understanding the otherparables.Why?

The Parable of the Sower of theSeeds on various types of soil is keyto understanding the otherparables.Why?Because it wasExplained by Yeshua

Matthew 13 The Parable of the Sower3Then He spoke many things to them inparables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out tosow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by thewayside; and the birds came and devoured them.5Some fell on stony places, where they did nothave much earth; and they immediately sprangup because they had no depth of earth. 6 Butwhen the sun was up they were scorched, andbecause they had no root they withered away. 7And some fell among thorns, and the thornssprang up and choked them. 8 But others fell ongood ground and yielded a crop: some ahundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He whohas ears to hear, let him hear!”

Matthew 13 The Parable of the Sower10And the disciples came and said to Him, “Whydo You speak to them in parables?”11He answered and said to them, “Because it hasbeen given to you to know the mysteries of thekingdom of heaven, but to them it has not beengiven.

The New Mystery form of theKingdom - The "Church Age"1. The Sower -Good GroundWaysideStony GroundThorny Ground

Matthew 13:1818“Therefore hear the parable of the sower:The Wayside19When anyone hears the word of the kingdom,and does not understand it, then the wicked onecomes and snatches away what was sown in hisheart. This is he who received seed by thewayside.

Matthew 13:18The Stony Places20But he who received the seed on stony places,this is he who hears the word and immediatelyreceives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root inhimself, but endures only for a while. For whentribulation or persecution arises because of theword, immediately he stumbles.

Matthew 13:18The Thorns22Now he who received seed among the thornsis he who hears the word, and the cares of thisworld and the deceitfulness of riches choke theword, and he becomes unfruitful.

Matthew 13:18The Good Soil23But he who received seed on the good groundis he who hears the word and understands it, whoindeed bears fruit and produces: some ahundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

1 Corinthians 3:5 – Some plant, some water:5Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, butministers through whom you believed, as theLord gave to each one?6I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave theincrease. 7 So then neither he who plants isanything, nor he who waters, but God who givesthe increase. 8 Now he who plants and he whowaters are one, and each one will receive his ownreward according to his own labor.9For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’sfield, you are God’s building.

Matthew 13:24 Wheat and Tares24Another parable He put forth to them, saying:“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed goodseed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy cameand sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop,then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of theowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow goodseed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 Hesaid to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servantssaid to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather themup?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up thetares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let bothgrow together until the harvest, and at the time ofharvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather togetherthe tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, butgather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

Matthew 13:36 Explanation36Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house.And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parableof the tares of the field.”37He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seedis the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds arethe sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wickedone. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest isthe end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Thereforeas the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be atthe end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels,and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, andthose who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into thefurnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom oftheir Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

The Wheat and the TaresWheat represents believers in the Church Age.Tares represent unbelievers in the Church Age

The Mustard Seed31Another parable He put forth to them,saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like amustard seed, which a man took and sowedin his field, 32 which indeed is the least of allthe seeds; but when it is grown it is greaterthan the herbs and becomes a tree, so thatthe birds of the air come and nest in itsbranches.”

3. The Mustard SeedThe Birds are Agents of Satan,Planted in the Large Overgrown Churchconsuming the Gospel Seed.

The Parable of the Leaven33Another parable He spoke to them:“The kingdom of heaven is like leaven,which a woman took and hid inthree measures of meal till it was allleavened.”

The New Mystery form of the Kingdom- The "Church Age"1. Christendom- Christianity in all of its formsand institutions2. Mystery Kingdom contains both believers andunbelievers.3. Contains Jews and Gentiles.4. Mystery Kingdom begins in Acts Chapter 2.5. Last for an known period of time concludingwith the rapture.6. Mystery Kingdom proceeds the tribulationperiod.7. Mystery Kingdom proceeds the postponed1000 year Messianic Kingdom.

Parable of the Hidden Treasure44“Again, the kingdom of heaven is liketreasure hidden in a field, which a manfound and hid; and for joy over it he goesand sells all that he has and buys that field.Parable of the Pearl of Great Price45“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like amerchant seeking beautiful pearls, 46 who,when he had found one pearl of great price,went and sold all that he had and bought it.

The Treasure represents theRemnant of Israel returning to theland and purchases it. And will berewarded after a long wait.The Pearl represents the Churchsaved one by one after a great dealof labor and sorting.Clams are not KosherBut inside there is a Pearl!

Parable of the Dragnet47“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like adragnet that was cast into the sea and gatheredsome of every kind, 48 which, when it was full,they drew to shore; and they sat down andgathered the good into vessels, but threw thebad away. 49 So it will be at the end of the age.The angels will come forth, separate the wickedfrom among the just,50and cast them into the furnace of fire. Therewill be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”The Sea is a symbol of the Gentile World “Allkinds of Gentiles will be gathered.

Parable of the HouseholderMatthew 13:5151Jesus said to them, “Have you understoodall these things?”They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”52Then He said to them, “Therefore everyscribe instructed concerning the kingdom ofheaven is like a householder who brings outof his treasure things new and old.”53Now it came to pass, when Jesus hadfinished these parables, that He departedfrom there.

Lift up your eyes andlook at the fields, forthey are already whitefor harvest! J0hn 4:33

‘One sows and another reaps.’I sent you to reap that forwhich you have not labored;others have labored, and youhave entered into their labors.”

So then neither he whoplants is anything, nor hewho waters, but Godwho gives the increase.1 Corinthians 3:6

John 4:35Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes andlook at the fields, for they are alreadywhite for harvest! 36 And he who reapsreceives wages, and gathers fruit foreternal life, that both he who sows and hewho reaps may rejoice together. 37 For inthis the saying is true: ‘One sows andanother reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap thatfor which you have not labored; othershave labored, and you have entered intotheir labors.”
