The Jewish Jesus was a man of sorrows, but he was also a man of mercy.
Mercy is an attitude of grace. It has with it kindness that is unexplained. There is usually nothing a person can do to earn mercy, it must come from within the heart of the person who gives it. There are those who have the gift of being kind and showing mercy. It is not within them to see anyone treated harshly or with little sympathy. Such was the Jewish Jesus.
Acts of mercy brings to the giver a sense of joy. Especially if it concerns forgiveness. And this is just where the Jewish Jesus was so great. He could have had a mean spirit, a cruel spirit, and kicked people when they were down, but instead he looked upon them with compassion. There is the key to mercy.
I have seen so many people who have no mercy. They do not forgive others easily. And they have little or no compassion. This makes for a person who is tormented with all manner of psychological problems. One of them is anger. It is often the case that when a person should show mercy they instead show anger. They are not soft-hearted. They can be cruel and mean in split seconds. All of this shows me that the Jewish Jesus has not taught this person the beauty of love.
When I read the Gospels and observe the mercy of Jesus, I see a tenderness that amazes me. He was not brisk, or even hard, on many who came to him with spiritual problems. He was gentle. The Jewish Jesus was a gentle man. And this is the source of his mercy.
When I see people who have no mercy, I see a person who is not gentle.
When I see prople who have no compassion, I see a person who has anger issues.
When I see people who refuse to show kindness, I see a person who has bitterness.
When I see people who have no sympathy, I see a person who is abusive.
The Jewish Jesus would like all of us to be missionaries of mercy. And because this is part of his nature, he can love others through us if only we would put an end to the way we treat others wrong.
The Jewish Jesus is merciful, kind, compassionate, and gives sympathy to those who are in need.
Mercy is what you can show others if you want to do the most good.
The Jewish Jesus, is still doing the most good.

The Jewish Jesus, Magic And The Zodiac
The Jewish Jesus was the greatest human being to ever live upon the earth. I make this statement and it cannot be refuted. It can be denied. It can be rejected. It can even be attacked. But it will never be refuted because I said so.
The Jewish Jesus never used magic or any act or ritual of witchcraft. Magic and witchcraft are all part of the large categories of satanism. These are only two doorways into the dark kingdom. There is no compatibility between the Jewish Jesus and satanism.
Magic is something that appears a miracle but it is a trick upon the mind and the eye. Magic is a deception. All magicians are deceivers. They play their games of tricks to make it appear they are workers of miracles. God is the source of true miracles. A miracle is something that cannot be explained with human reasoning or testing. They are beyond human understanding. This is what makes them miracles. Magic on the other hand is fake miracles. Things can be tested and shown the magician is using tricks. No actual miracle occurs. The Jewish Jesus performed miracles because the wonders he performed were backed up by God.
I have read in hate books against the Jewish Jesus that he had gone down into Egypt and there learned magic. Supposedly he came back to Jerusalem and was able to discover the pronunciation of the sacred name of God. He allegedly wrote the name of God down on parchment, cut his skin and hid it under it, and remembered how to pronounce it in order to do all of his magic. They called it magic because they did not want God to be the one doing the miracles. Jesus was called a magician and a deceiver. By this accusation we at least know the Jews considered magicians to be deceivers.
The Jewish Jesus however performed miracles as a Prophet. Prophets have the miracle power of God upon them. Many of the Old Testament Prophets had this miracle power. How did they achieve it? It was a gift of God given unto them because of the holy life they lived. In addition, these Prophets were faithful worshippers of the one true God. It was because God honored them that they were able to do miracles. The Jewish Jesus was honored by God. He did not need the tricks and deceptions of magicians. His miracles were public, open, observed and tested by others, and revealed the power of God upon him. For no man could do those things unless God was with him (John 3:2).
Sorcery is forbidden under the law and magic is sorcery. The Jewish Jesus was not a worker of sorcery.
Sorcery developed into mysticism in Babylon. Mysticism was carried by the magi and other wise men in the new cult. In the case of Daniel, they were called magicians, astrologers, sorcerers, and Chaldeans. Each of these was a different field of so-called secret knowledge. I would be in Greece that this knowledge would be called science. The original scientist were all practitioner's of the arts of witchcraft. Here is where the Believers of the Jewish Jesus can see he was not involved with Babylonian cult practices. There is nothing in the life or conduct of the Jewish Jesus that contains magic, astrology, sorcery, or the new arts of mysticism called Chaldean. Yes, the name Chaldean is connected to mysticism.
The Jewish Jesus was not involved with Babylonian witchcraft or mysticism. If he had been, he would have been accepted by the Temple leaders. They were all involved in mysticism. The Jewish religion was adapted to mysticism and produced the Kabbalist interpretation of the Scriptures. The Jewish Jesus rejected these "traditions of the elders" as being totally unacceptable. Those who were secretly involved in these mysteries has secret meetings. Some of the underground in the caverns under Jerusalem. Here is a text in Ezekiel that describes these devilish men:
EZE 8:6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
EZE 8:7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
EZE 8:8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
EZE 8:9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
EZE 8:10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
EZE 8:11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
EZE 8:12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
The secret witchcraft ran deep in Israel. They did it right under the Temple. Is it any wonder God did not care to destroy this place and turn over the foundation with men like pigs rooting for acorns?
The Jewish Jesus was not a part of anything satanic and this includes the use of the zodiac. It is time for the people of God to come apart unto holiness and forsake the ways of Babylon. It is time for the true lovers of God to lift up the Jewish Jesus for the righteous man he was, and show the world he had no part with the devil's dark kingdom.
The Jewish Jesus did not use magic or make use of the witchcraft of the zodiac.

The Jewish Jesus did not use magic or make use of the witchcraft of the zodiac.
The Jewish Jesus Could Not Be Muslim
The Jewish Jesus could not be a Muslim. First, no real Jew who believes his Scriptures, the Torah, the Prophets, would ever throw away their inherited religion to follow a Gentile as their Prophet. Gentiles have no right to insist that Jews follow their devised opinions, teachings, beliefs, writings, or religious practices. This said, they do have an obligation to follow Jewish prophets of which Jesus was their last.
The Jewish Jesus never resorted to Gentile religious customs, beliefs, or writings. Although there are many pagan mystics who claim he went to Tibet, to India, to Japan, to Mexico, to America, between the ages of 12 and 30, such are totally fabrications. This is the way those who reject Judaism and Christianity bring the Jewish Jesus down to a level of paganism that allows them to incorporate some of his ideals while rejecting totally the sin factors. Jesus from the age of 12 until his appearance on the Jordan River worked as a carpenter.
"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary (Mark 6:3).
The synagogue leaders knew his mother, his brothers, and his sisters. And said these were there with them. So the entire family was well known in the vicinity of Nazareth. If Jesus had adopted pagan religious practices these devout Jews would have targeted in on this. But not one time in his whole ministry was the accusation put into the face of Jesus. I will not accept it now!
The Jewish Jesus began his Biblical training as many Jewish boys at the age of 12 or the age of their bar mitzvah. It is at this celebration the boy is now called a man and the son of the Law. He can even be counted as one of the minyan necessary to found a synagogue. The knowledge Jesus had can either be imputed by divine fiat or learned (see Luke 2:52; John 7:17; John 8:26, 38; John 14:10 ). The Scriptures teach us Jesus learned according to normal human education which was accented by divine fiat, or divine understanding, or revelation knowledge, or given the mind of God on matters of faith, doctrine, practice, conduct, and order. It was this Jewish Jesus who was respected as "TEACHER."
The Jewish Jesus could not have been a Muslim because Muslims allow no value to the Messianic purpose and fulfillment. There is no emphasis on the Davidic promise of Psalms 132:11. And there is no faith in Jesus as Savior of the world. The total rejection of the Jewish Jesus as the Son of God flies directly in the face of Jesus who claimed he was.
"But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Messieh, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven" (Mar 14:60-61).
If Jesus claimed he was the Son of the Blessed, the Messieh, he would have to recant his identity, deny God as the cause of his mother's conception, and totally denounce his lineage in the house of David and of the tribe of Judah. To become a Muslim Jesus would have to deny his own life and purpose.
While Mohammad made great progress to convert Arabs from paganism of idols to belief in one God whom he named Allah, the fact remains, Islam is a Gentile invented religion. How much Mohammad himself invented we do not know. We do know that without the Jewish Scriptures there would be no Islam at all. Much of the Islamic Koran is nothing but a Gentile revision of the Jewish Scriptures. There have been a lot of alterations that now make it totally incompatible with the Torah writings, the Psalms, and the Prophets.
One aspect of the Jewish Jesus that clearly identifies why he could not be a Muslim, is his reference to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (see Matt 8:11, Luke 13:28). There is not one reference to Ishmael.
The genealogy of the Jewish Jesus in Matthew and in Luke, do not mention Ishmael. According to Islam and the Koran, it was not Isaac whom Abraham took up to the mountain it was Ishmael. The Jews are accused of perverting the Scriptures and taking out the name of Ishmael and inserting the name of Isaac. This would mean, the true people of God did not descend from Isaac and Jacob, but rather through Ishmael and his descendants. This is precisely why the Jewish Jesus could never be a Muslim. He would have to deny he was descended and a part of the true people of God. In Islam, the true people of God are the descendants of Ishmael. The Jews are looked upon as the enemy of Muslims because Jews reject the invented religion of Islam that makes Israel a Gentile nation having no relationship to God unless they bow to the belief that Islam is the true religion of God.
The Jewish Jesus could not be a Muslim because he would have to lie about his own death on the Cross. In the Koran and in Islamic teachings, Jesus did not die on the cross. Someone else died on the cross and Jesus escaped. If this invention was true, why would the Jewish Jesus predict his crucifixion?
"Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified" (Mat 26:2).
"Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again" (Luke 24:7).
The Jewish Jesus could not be a Muslim because he would have to deny his own resurrection. In the teachings of Islam, Jesus was not crucified and thus he was not resurrected. These two denials strikes at the very rudiments of salvation which Christians hold sacred to their faith. To deny these two fundamental teachings of Jesus is to speak blasphemy against the Prophet himself. If Jesus did not lie, to say he did lie is blasphemy.
The Jewish Jesus made another proclamation after his death and his resurrection that proves he could never be a Muslim.
"And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it it behoved Messieh to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day" (Luke 24:46).
These words were spoken after his resurrection.
There are many more reasons why the Jewish Jesus could never be a Muslim.
One of the remarkable facts about Jesus is he did not borrow or incorporate into his teachings on faith, doctrine, practice, conduct, and order any pagan religious ideas. And even more astounding is the Apostles followed up on this and never added pagan ideas or religious practices into the Church. The paganism of Christianity began by Gentile converts and by the pre-Nicene fathers of the Catholic church. All of paganism within Christianity which many Muslims find totally unacceptable to faith in one God, came from Catholic sources. And I am absolutely sure, the Jewish Jesus could not, was not, and would never be a Catholic either.
If Muslims had the freedom to compare the Bible with the Koran they might be able to see that the Jewish Jesus could never be a Muslim. They would learn the truth about the Jewish Jesus and how he was the Messieh, the Saviour, and also God. These three items of Christian faith would totally destroy the Muslim's religious beliefs as taught by the Imams and the Koran. But, they would come face to face with the real Jewish Jesus and not one fabricated by an invented Gentile religion.
For these and many other reasons, the Jewish Jesus could never become a Muslim.
I present the reason why any Bible Believing Christian could NEVER convert to Islam.
The book of Revelation contains information given to the Apostle John by the Lord Jesus Messieh himself. The contents contain a warning that no one is to add to or take away from those things written in the book (see Rev 22:18-19). If any person detracts from the information and words of this book, Jesus said such person or persons shall be smitten with the plagues that are written therein and their name removed from the book of life, and their part taken away from the New Jerusalem. This means they will be separated from God, for all who are without the city are damned.
This warning is taken to heart by true Bible believing Christians. But, it is not taken at all to be the truth by Muslims. In fact, they have no embarrassment to take things out of the book and say they are not only not true, but that they are false. Any Bible Believing Christian who accepts the Muslim religion will be required to deny the death and resurrection of the Jewish Jesus. And to do this evil thing such person will also be required to call Jesus a liar.
Here is where Islam and Muslims remove from the book:
"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and death" (Rev 1:18).
When Islam claims Jesus did not die, was not resurrected, they take the very words of Jesus out of the book and claim they are false. In this very text the Jewish Jesus is doing the speaking. He said he liveth and was dead. Anyone who denies this has made Jesus a liar. And whosoever dares to remove this from the book of Revelation will be damned.
The Jewish Jesus did die on the Cross, he was buried, and he was resurrected on the third day.
The Jewish Jesus could never be a Muslim.
Jesus founded a Jewish religion and to become a Muslim he would have to leave his own Jewish religion and join a Gentile invented religion. Islam is not and never will be a Jewish religion.

The Jewish Jesus And Water Baptism
For the most part, many have no clue about the origin of water baptism. Thus, they do not understand or place the proper importance on the Jewish Jesus and his baptism. Since the circumstances of his baptism are unknown it leaves a dark area of knowledge concerning water baptism by John the Baptist and later the Apostles.
Why would the Jewish Jesus be baptized?
Why would the Jewish Jesus baptize?
Why would the Jewish Jesus instruct his disciples to baptize?
Why was it essential for a person to believe and be baptized to be saved?
Let me begin with why the Jewish Jesus was baptized.
Baptism has its roots in two areas of religious practice in Israel. The first is the total immersion of the High Priest prior to his entry into the Tabernacle on the day of Atonement. This passing through the waters is a mikveh. A mikveh is any passing through of the waters where a purification of uncleanness is deemed necessary. Some of the purification mikvehs have to do with bodily defilement and or a person deemed to be unclean. Several things would make a man or woman unclean. It is in the mikveh these are spiritually washed away. The mikveh in the case of a woman is not the washing away of anything, it is only a sign she has completed her cycle and is now ready to resume her life. This said, there are divers washings that are mikveh because the person or item passes through waters to bring about sanctification. This sanctification is the setting aside of the person again for a holy purpose. Apply this to the high priest afore mentioned. He enters the Atonement mikveh, not to wash away filth of the flesh. It is a moment of sanctification wherein he is set aside to come out of the waters of purification to now be able to enter the holy of holies. He may not enter the holy of holies as the high priest to make an Atonement until after he has passed through the Atonement mikveh.
It is on the day of his baptism at the Jordan River that Jesus passed through his mikveh to begin his assent into the holy of holies to make Atonement for all the world. His baptism was not just a show how it is done, that is by total immersion in water, but it was to signal his work of redemption for the world had begun. Those waters of Jordan became his moment of spiritual purification before the world. Even as no man dare accuse the high priest of sin after his mikveh and his assent toward the holy of holies, even so, dare no man to become an accuser of Jesus as a sinner who was from that moment on his way to Calvary to make Atonement for the world.
Why do I write these things? The Jewish Jesus has sent me to the world to testify of him. To testify of the truth. Something that few other men in the world have been selected to do in these past years. This ministry is unique. And in it, the revelation of the Lord Jesus Messieh is supreme. This is why, this son of the Blood is anointed to preach, to write, and to bring out truths so many cannot get from the carnal minds that lead them. This message is from the Jewish Jesus. And his baptism is all about his glory.
At the baptism of the Jewish Jesus, his Messianic ministry began. The 69th week of Daniel expired at sundown the night before. Daniel prophesied that unto Messieh the Prince would be 69 weeks. Jesus could not come on any day of or prior to the end of this time period. So, at sundown the night before, the 70th week of Daniel began. And it was exactly time for the Messieh to be manifest according to the prophecy of Daniel. How would the Messieh be manifested? Where would he make his appearance? This is a beautiful part of the Jewish Jesus story.
The place where John was baptizing was called Bethabara. Now this name means Beth-house and bara-crossing. It means house of the crossing. It is here, on this exact spot that the children of Israel passed over into the Land of Promise. Bethabara is adjacent to the location of Gilgal. And it was here at Gilgal the prophet Elijah passed the place of the prophets before he was taken up into heaven. Gilgal was also the place where Samuel acknowledged Saul as the first king of Israel. David came here to Gilgal to also receive the kingdom. So, we can understand the spiritual significance of Jesus coming to Bethabara and Gilgal and why John was at that precise spot. Now John is the equivalent of Elijah. He is also the ministry of the Prophets. And in this succession, John is performing the role of Samuel to Saul and David. There is a prophet and there is a king. Except this time, it is John the Baptist and the Jewish Jesus. This is why Jesus told John that he must fulfill all righteousness in baptizing him. This is why the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus, to show John and the world that Jesus was now anointed to go forth into his Messianic work of high priest king. No, Jesus did not become the Messieh at his baptism, he was born the Messieh. But at his baptism he was officially sent forth to do the salvation work of the Messieh.
Did the Jewish Jesus baptize, or did only his disciples baptize?
According to John 4:1 the Prarisees had spies who reported to them that Jesus had made and baptized more disciples than John. For some reason someone did not like this and so added the next statment ("Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples). The brackets show it was not in the original text. I am not sure why so many do not want to admit Jesus baptized. There is no reason to deny it. Notice the following text:
"After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them and baptized" (John 3:22).
There is no mistake here. Jesus did baptize. How many we do not know. But it is almost a certain he baptized all of his Apostles otherwise they would go forth baptizing and had not been baptized themselves.
The Jewish Jesus instructed his Apostles to baptize.
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned" (Mark 16:15-16).
We do not believe the Scriptures teach self baptisms, and so they who preached the Gospel the sinners believed, would also of necessity to do the baptizing. There is no reason to deny this except to claim the Apostles did not have authority from the Jewish Jesus to baptize.
Why did the Jewish Jesus insist that a person was not saved until they had believed and were baptized?
Because baptism was to bring with it the remission of sins, as well as an act of faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Yes, correct water baptism is an act of faith. It is at the time of baptism a person is risen with Christ (Col 3:1). No one is risen with Christ until they are baptized, and no one is saved until they have been risen with Christ. Therefore, water baptism is essential to salvation and a person cannot be born again and saved without it.
The Jewish Jesus laid it down straight and all the world is commanded to be baptized. The Apostle Peter sealed this and locked it up in Acts 2:38.
The Jewish Jesus is the center of New Testament water baptism. It is his name into which we are baptized for the remission of sins. Remission of sins can come only by the blood of Jesus. Therefore, in baptism our sins are washed away by the blood of Jesus. It is not the water that washes away it is the Blood that is applied while we are immersed and buried. Once this has been performed by faith, no person dare accuse us of any sin that was pardoned and remitted by the Atonement. It is here at this moment, we have our first holiness. The blood of Jesus cleanses us, sanctifies us, and gives us a holiness. It is this holiness you must maintain for the rest of your life. It is both an inner and outer holiness. And without it no man shall see the Lord (Heb 12:14). It is a sin to reject New Testament mikveh baptism. These waters become our mikveh, our sanctification, our purification, our crossing over, our translation from darkness to light, and our resurrection from the past carnal life to a new spiritual life in Christ. Baptism is our real starting point as a true follower of Christ, just as baptism was the starting point of Jesus as the Messieh of Israel. Until we are resurrected with him, how can we walk, live, and reign with him?
The Jewish Jesus has ordained water baptism to be the place where each person becomes a new creation.
Have your re-creation soon. Be baptized according to Acts 2:38 and begin the completion of your new birth of water and Spirit (John 3:3-5).
Why would the Jewish Jesus be baptized?
Why would the Jewish Jesus baptize?
Why would the Jewish Jesus instruct his disciples to baptize?
Why was it essential for a person to believe and be baptized to be saved?
Let me begin with why the Jewish Jesus was baptized.
Baptism has its roots in two areas of religious practice in Israel. The first is the total immersion of the High Priest prior to his entry into the Tabernacle on the day of Atonement. This passing through the waters is a mikveh. A mikveh is any passing through of the waters where a purification of uncleanness is deemed necessary. Some of the purification mikvehs have to do with bodily defilement and or a person deemed to be unclean. Several things would make a man or woman unclean. It is in the mikveh these are spiritually washed away. The mikveh in the case of a woman is not the washing away of anything, it is only a sign she has completed her cycle and is now ready to resume her life. This said, there are divers washings that are mikveh because the person or item passes through waters to bring about sanctification. This sanctification is the setting aside of the person again for a holy purpose. Apply this to the high priest afore mentioned. He enters the Atonement mikveh, not to wash away filth of the flesh. It is a moment of sanctification wherein he is set aside to come out of the waters of purification to now be able to enter the holy of holies. He may not enter the holy of holies as the high priest to make an Atonement until after he has passed through the Atonement mikveh.
It is on the day of his baptism at the Jordan River that Jesus passed through his mikveh to begin his assent into the holy of holies to make Atonement for all the world. His baptism was not just a show how it is done, that is by total immersion in water, but it was to signal his work of redemption for the world had begun. Those waters of Jordan became his moment of spiritual purification before the world. Even as no man dare accuse the high priest of sin after his mikveh and his assent toward the holy of holies, even so, dare no man to become an accuser of Jesus as a sinner who was from that moment on his way to Calvary to make Atonement for the world.
Why do I write these things? The Jewish Jesus has sent me to the world to testify of him. To testify of the truth. Something that few other men in the world have been selected to do in these past years. This ministry is unique. And in it, the revelation of the Lord Jesus Messieh is supreme. This is why, this son of the Blood is anointed to preach, to write, and to bring out truths so many cannot get from the carnal minds that lead them. This message is from the Jewish Jesus. And his baptism is all about his glory.
At the baptism of the Jewish Jesus, his Messianic ministry began. The 69th week of Daniel expired at sundown the night before. Daniel prophesied that unto Messieh the Prince would be 69 weeks. Jesus could not come on any day of or prior to the end of this time period. So, at sundown the night before, the 70th week of Daniel began. And it was exactly time for the Messieh to be manifest according to the prophecy of Daniel. How would the Messieh be manifested? Where would he make his appearance? This is a beautiful part of the Jewish Jesus story.

The Jewish Jesus And Senior Christians
The Jewish Jesus supported respect for those who are elderly. He followed the Laws of Moses where it is clearly said:
Honor thy father and thy mother (Exo 29:12). Of course for the children their respect is rooted in the love and care they received from parents. Being parents and who will indeed grow older, these children are at no time excused from honoring and respecting their father or mother. The Jewish Jesus did not change this practice and conduct of righteousness.
As to others outside the immediate family circle, respect was to be given as a matter of one's esteem of age (see Lev 19:32). There is nothing here that says we have to agree with anything in the life of those who are older, but we are told to rise up and honor the face of an old man. I hold this to also mean for senior women as well. I cannot find a single place where Jesus or the Apostles mistreated the elderly.
Honor and respect is indeed something earned. I remember some time back I met a person who received an award. I had nothing to do with the award. But I found myself thinking how this person deserved it. And because I had this attitude, I was respectful to the person and praised him getting it. I was not jealous. I had no desire to belittle the award to make it nothing of value. And I had nothing in me to find fault that he had no right to get it. It was given by someone who valued his contribution to community service. It was here my heart was in union with the person who presented it. I also respect the time, money, effort, and service rendered. While he did not earn the award from me, I respected and honored him for his own achievement. And thus, I have learned that the Jewish Jesus wants us to honor and respect the elderly who have done so much to love, to sooth hurts, to bandage wounds, to comfort those who are dying, and who spend a lot of hours just being there. One thing the elderly have learned, is that the time they have left they want to be a help some way to others. I can honor and respect that.
It is because of the teachings of the Jewish Jesus that the Apostles respected the elderly. Here is what the Apostle said:
"The elderly women, as mothers" (1Tim 5:2).
Then we have Paul who deal with widows and how they were to be treated. This was not just a Christian thing. It was Jewish practice for Jews to honor the elderly and widows. God hated abuse of the elderly widows (1Sam 10:2). Jesus rebuked the money-hungry reprobates who took the houses of widows (Mat. 23:14). And when the Church was infant, many elderly widows could no longer look to the Temple cults for sympathy for their daily needs, they gathered to obtain food from the Believers. It was here in Acts 6:1, that these elderly came together and were ministered to daily by the Church. Paul talks about honoring widows who are widows indeed (1Tim 5:3). Pure religion has for one of its great conducts the care of the widows (James 1:27).
The Jewish Jesus would never accept elderly abuse. He would never agree with treating them with disrespect. At the heart of elderly mistreatment are people who have little love for anyone they do not want to be bothered with. Families don't want to be bothered by an ageing mother or father and so send them off to care centers where they seldom or ever visit. They can't wait until they die to get the estate settled and they get their portion. They do not go and sit and talk, read, or do things with them. And God forbid they become invalid, they are no more a person loved but baggage, a nuisance, or a waste.
The Jewish Jesus loves old people. Now how would I know this?
He loved Adam and Eve and they died in their 900s.
He loved Noah and he was about 500 yrs old.
He loved Moses who was 80 years old.
And how can we forget the two old men, Nicodemus and Joseph, who begged the body of Jesus and took him down from the Cross. And wonder if you ever thought about it, how Joseph put him in his own tomb where in a few years as his old age ended, he would have been buried. Yes, Jesus was buried in the tomb of an old man who knew he would soon die.
And here we have the elderly giving respect to Jesus.
What of Rufus, who carried the Cross of Jesus. He was likely an older man as well. And there in the most important day of human history, the elderly were present to show the world there is plenty of love in them, they just need a way to let it out.
As I visited the nursing home some time back, I saw a young grandaughter leaving her grandmother. My what a bond there was between them. The grandmother in the most tender words a mouth could speak told her, " I love you." The granddaugher returned the love with a hug and a reply: " I love you too."
It is quite obvious to me that when God appears in the book of Revelation as the ancient of days, he does so as an elderly person with white hair (). And to me, this indicates not only wisdom and longevity, but that being seen as elderly is only a way we observe age. But when we observe a person as a person, we do not look at hair color, age, but at them for who and what they are in our life.
The Jewish Jesus still has open arms for all the elderly. He wants all of them to be saved. He has offered to all salvation as we find in Acts 2:38.
The church has a ministry for the youth, but where is it for the elderly?
The Jewish Jesus I know loves senior Believers because I am finding myself to be one more and more. And I hope he does not stop loving me because my hair is getting grey, or I walk with a limp, or I tire easily, or I have need sometimes for others to minister to me.
The Jewish Jesus and Senior Christians, I want to see this in heaven.

The Jewish Jesus And satan
There are several web sites claiming that Christians invented the devil. Most of those behind these are atheist or satanist themselves. For instance those in wicca claim the devil is an invention of Christians. Yet one of the central aspects of their nature religion is a figure who has all of the satanic emblems of the devil.
There are several religious leaders who claim the devil is nothing more than Adam in his fallen state. Some claim the devil is Cain, whose spirit now roams the world as some form of ghost. Naturally, those who deny the devil is satan, and that satan is indeed a fallen angel, do so because somewhere in their heart and mind they have for their target, the Jewish Jesus.
There are many attacks upon the Jewish Jesus. Some attack his birth and claim he was a bastard child born of fornication between Mary and a Roman soldier. Others claim he was a bastard child born of Mary and a man named Pandera. At the root of these accusations is a desire to destroy the image and character of the Jewish Jesus by attacking his mother and thereby make him an unacceptable candidate to be the Jewish Messieh.
What has amazed me over the years is how so many think themselves so wise but they never are on the forefront making a stand where a stand is needed. They do not see the issue between the Jewish Jesus and the devil being all that important. As one Pastor said to me: "well Brother, that doctrine is not a problem in my area and so I see no need to mention it before the church. All I want to do is win souls."
I talked to another Pastor and asked him when was the last time he did a complete teaching or preaching on the devil. He responded that it has been many, many years. He did say he mentions the devil every once in awhile, but he was told by a friend it was not good practice to mention the devil or satan to much because it gives him glory. So, he developed the practice never to mention the name of the devil or satan in the pulpit.
The Jewish Jesus would not be allowed in these pulpits today.
I was in a church about ten years ago and felt so burdened about how the devil was tearing it up. I could see the presence of the devil working in it. The devil brings confusion usually first. He then brings in accusing spirits. This develops into some making themselves the judge of all others. Fault-finding appears. Jealously blooms. And at last the spirit of Cain comes present where the righteous become the target of those who do not please God. I was in this church for several days. I was invited to preach. So, with prayer I chose to preach on the devil. I did all my home work. I prayed for the Holy Ghost to guide me. The preaching was passionate and with great conviction. I worked on the way the devil comes in, the way he functions. The way he divides. The way he deceives. The way he destroys. And the way he brings men and women down to hell with temptations. I preached about those who are the devil's helpers and destroy one another and even work at attacking the Pastor and the existence of the church. The message was powerful. Many in the congregation were visibly shaken. Some were crying. Some responded to the preaching with great spiritual worship. And there were a few who sat like frogs in a hail storm all bug eyed and not moved at all.
The atar call was terriffic. I laid hands on many who came for prayer wanting deliverance from oppression. Some came to dedicate themselves more to the Lord. I prayed for one young man who did not have the Holy Ghost. He had been told he did not need it and so he was trying to live for God based upon the sinner's prayer. There were a few who prayed through to the Holy Ghost that night. I cannot in words describe the awesome power of God that was upon me that night.
Near the end of the service the Pastor said he wanted to speak to me in his office. I followed him in and he closed the door. He invited me to sit down. Then he said: "Brother I love you but you cannot preach here any more. I cannot have you spreading hate in my church." I was SHOCKED! What? I exclaimed! His answer: "you said during your preaching that you hated the devil. You said everyone must hate the devil. You mentioned the name of the devil over 50 times, I counted them. I do not mention the devil's name in the church and give him glory. But you did it over 50 times. I preach here that we must love our enemies and this includes the devil. He is a fallen angel and he sinned but he still deserves respect for being one time a holy creation of God. And so, because you went against my pulpit policy you cannot preach here any more." I stood up, bowed my head and openly prayed: "Lord Jesus I do not know what this means, but I pray you bless this Pastor more and more, Amen." I then went out to the dining hall and had something to eat. The Pastor never came near me again that night. I have visited this church two times and for one funeral, and I have never been invited to preach there again. Each of the times I did visit, I was called upon to greet the congregation from my seat.
The Jewish Jesus openly referred to the devil many times. In one cold dark contrast he mentioned we cannot serve two masters at the same time. Obviolusly, those who understand him know who he was referring to. He also contrasted light and darkness. And he made it clear who the god of darkness was. The Jewish Jesus was tempted by the devil and was rebuked. He cast ther devil out of several. There was no place where Jesus taught for doctrine that we must love the devil.
The Jewish Jesus came to deliver us from the power of satan (Acts 26:18).
The Jewish Jesus mentioned the devil and satan more times than any other person in the Bible. and there is no Biblical reference that mentioning the name of the devil brings glory to him. This is a perversion that in practice means the devil will never be mentioned in the pulpit. Now I wonder who would be behind that? Why who would want the devil not to be mentioned? Is this not a unique and neat way for the devil to never be preached against or mentioned? Well, before I will quit openly preaching from the pulpit against the devil, I will burn the church down. If it cannot be a place where the Jewish Jesus is glorified and the devil preached against, it does not deserve to be called a Church. May I remind all of you what the focus of Jesus was in Matthew 16:18-19?
Not one time did the Jewish Jesus invent the devil as the atheist and Jesus haters claim.
Christians did not invent the devil as those in wicca claim.
The Jews did not invent the devil as the evolutionist-antisemites claim.
The devil as satan is mentioned 79 times in the New Testament.
The first time the devil is mentioned in the New Testament is when he came against the Jewish Jesus in Matthew 4:1. It was the devil who came looking for Jesus, not the other way around. We all experience the same thing. We do not have to seek the location of the devil, he will find each of us.
The Jewish Jesus cast the devil out of people. He cast out demons who are fallen angles who followed the devil in his revolt against God.
The Pharisees accused John the Baptist of being possessed by the devil because he preached against their hyprocrisy and secret sinful behavior. This same accusation was hurled at the Jewish Jesus. Yes, indeed, today it is the same: let a Man of God get up and preach the Word of God and mention holiness and separation from the world and he also must suffer the accusation of being of the devil.
The Jewish Jesus has taught us:
1.) To cast the devil out every time we can (see Mark 1:39; 3:15; 6:13; 16:17).
The Apostles Doctrine teaches us:
1.) Give no place to the devil (Eph 4:27).
To make the attitude of the Jewish Jesus even more plain, the devil is to be put into the lake of fire and to be tormented for eternity (Matt 25:41).
And this enemy of God and man, will be cast into the Lake of Fire (see Rev 20:10).
We are in the midst of this war right now. The devil has raised up his soldiers to bring the world into the house of God. The change agents are among us. They have rebellious spirits. They will not submit to leadership. Like the devil they are haughty, self-willed, high-minded, and resist correction and rebuke. The battle against the endtime holiness Saints is everywhere. Preachers and ministers are now showing they are tares and not wheat. We are already in the midst of perverters and blasphemers. They act religious, they look religious, and like the devil they appear as angels of light. But their end is destruction of all that is Godly, Righteous, and Holy. The war is all about us and the Jewish Jesus has told us to endure until the end.
The Jewish Jesus did not die on Calvary to play games with the devil or with sinners. The offer of salvation is not a religious game of dice and chance. It is not something we add to our programs and into our pagan holiday celebrations. The Jewish Jesus stood against the devil all of his life. And in his death, he conquered him who had power over death (Heb 2:14), since he conquered sin. Those rebels and Laodicaeans among us who are wanting more and more sin in the Church to be accepted are inviting spiritual death. They are idiots while the profess themselves to be wise. They are babel and rabble as they puke out their putrid attacks on men of God who want sin out of the congregation.
The Jewish Jesus is not just a man who did miracles, fed some hungry people, held little children on his lap, or who did good deeds for the poor. This Savior, this Delieverer, this Lord of all Righteousness, came to overturn all the damage the devil brought upon the human race.
Why are so many making a contest about how much of the devil's kingdom is tolerable in the Church? Why are so many now claiming holiness is legalism and bondage, whereas worldliness and nakedness are the liberty Christ wants all of us to have? Have these not made the devil into their christ? Have they not a different Jesus than the one in the New Testament?
The Jewish Jesus is my Champion. He is my hero. He is my Lord. I have no desire but to follow him. I have no purpose but to take his message to the nations. I have no joy except to see his glory in the Church upon the people. It is because of this Jewish Jesus I have purpose in life. Without him I have no God in my future. Without him I am as a man with no hope. I have no future and am alone in my journey through a dark and cruel world. I know who I am. I was once blind sitting by the way side. And when I heard some noise. When I asked who that was. Someone said it is Jesus of Nazareth and it was the beggar in me who cried out:
Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy upon me!
There are several religious leaders who claim the devil is nothing more than Adam in his fallen state. Some claim the devil is Cain, whose spirit now roams the world as some form of ghost. Naturally, those who deny the devil is satan, and that satan is indeed a fallen angel, do so because somewhere in their heart and mind they have for their target, the Jewish Jesus.
There are many attacks upon the Jewish Jesus. Some attack his birth and claim he was a bastard child born of fornication between Mary and a Roman soldier. Others claim he was a bastard child born of Mary and a man named Pandera. At the root of these accusations is a desire to destroy the image and character of the Jewish Jesus by attacking his mother and thereby make him an unacceptable candidate to be the Jewish Messieh.
What has amazed me over the years is how so many think themselves so wise but they never are on the forefront making a stand where a stand is needed. They do not see the issue between the Jewish Jesus and the devil being all that important. As one Pastor said to me: "well Brother, that doctrine is not a problem in my area and so I see no need to mention it before the church. All I want to do is win souls."
I talked to another Pastor and asked him when was the last time he did a complete teaching or preaching on the devil. He responded that it has been many, many years. He did say he mentions the devil every once in awhile, but he was told by a friend it was not good practice to mention the devil or satan to much because it gives him glory. So, he developed the practice never to mention the name of the devil or satan in the pulpit.
The Jewish Jesus would not be allowed in these pulpits today.
I was in a church about ten years ago and felt so burdened about how the devil was tearing it up. I could see the presence of the devil working in it. The devil brings confusion usually first. He then brings in accusing spirits. This develops into some making themselves the judge of all others. Fault-finding appears. Jealously blooms. And at last the spirit of Cain comes present where the righteous become the target of those who do not please God. I was in this church for several days. I was invited to preach. So, with prayer I chose to preach on the devil. I did all my home work. I prayed for the Holy Ghost to guide me. The preaching was passionate and with great conviction. I worked on the way the devil comes in, the way he functions. The way he divides. The way he deceives. The way he destroys. And the way he brings men and women down to hell with temptations. I preached about those who are the devil's helpers and destroy one another and even work at attacking the Pastor and the existence of the church. The message was powerful. Many in the congregation were visibly shaken. Some were crying. Some responded to the preaching with great spiritual worship. And there were a few who sat like frogs in a hail storm all bug eyed and not moved at all.
The atar call was terriffic. I laid hands on many who came for prayer wanting deliverance from oppression. Some came to dedicate themselves more to the Lord. I prayed for one young man who did not have the Holy Ghost. He had been told he did not need it and so he was trying to live for God based upon the sinner's prayer. There were a few who prayed through to the Holy Ghost that night. I cannot in words describe the awesome power of God that was upon me that night.
Near the end of the service the Pastor said he wanted to speak to me in his office. I followed him in and he closed the door. He invited me to sit down. Then he said: "Brother I love you but you cannot preach here any more. I cannot have you spreading hate in my church." I was SHOCKED! What? I exclaimed! His answer: "you said during your preaching that you hated the devil. You said everyone must hate the devil. You mentioned the name of the devil over 50 times, I counted them. I do not mention the devil's name in the church and give him glory. But you did it over 50 times. I preach here that we must love our enemies and this includes the devil. He is a fallen angel and he sinned but he still deserves respect for being one time a holy creation of God. And so, because you went against my pulpit policy you cannot preach here any more." I stood up, bowed my head and openly prayed: "Lord Jesus I do not know what this means, but I pray you bless this Pastor more and more, Amen." I then went out to the dining hall and had something to eat. The Pastor never came near me again that night. I have visited this church two times and for one funeral, and I have never been invited to preach there again. Each of the times I did visit, I was called upon to greet the congregation from my seat.
The Jewish Jesus openly referred to the devil many times. In one cold dark contrast he mentioned we cannot serve two masters at the same time. Obviolusly, those who understand him know who he was referring to. He also contrasted light and darkness. And he made it clear who the god of darkness was. The Jewish Jesus was tempted by the devil and was rebuked. He cast ther devil out of several. There was no place where Jesus taught for doctrine that we must love the devil.
The Jewish Jesus came to deliver us from the power of satan (Acts 26:18).
The Jewish Jesus mentioned the devil and satan more times than any other person in the Bible. and there is no Biblical reference that mentioning the name of the devil brings glory to him. This is a perversion that in practice means the devil will never be mentioned in the pulpit. Now I wonder who would be behind that? Why who would want the devil not to be mentioned? Is this not a unique and neat way for the devil to never be preached against or mentioned? Well, before I will quit openly preaching from the pulpit against the devil, I will burn the church down. If it cannot be a place where the Jewish Jesus is glorified and the devil preached against, it does not deserve to be called a Church. May I remind all of you what the focus of Jesus was in Matthew 16:18-19?
Not one time did the Jewish Jesus invent the devil as the atheist and Jesus haters claim.
Christians did not invent the devil as those in wicca claim.
The Jews did not invent the devil as the evolutionist-antisemites claim.
The devil as satan is mentioned 79 times in the New Testament.
The first time the devil is mentioned in the New Testament is when he came against the Jewish Jesus in Matthew 4:1. It was the devil who came looking for Jesus, not the other way around. We all experience the same thing. We do not have to seek the location of the devil, he will find each of us.
The Jewish Jesus cast the devil out of people. He cast out demons who are fallen angles who followed the devil in his revolt against God.
The Pharisees accused John the Baptist of being possessed by the devil because he preached against their hyprocrisy and secret sinful behavior. This same accusation was hurled at the Jewish Jesus. Yes, indeed, today it is the same: let a Man of God get up and preach the Word of God and mention holiness and separation from the world and he also must suffer the accusation of being of the devil.
The Jewish Jesus has taught us:
1.) To cast the devil out every time we can (see Mark 1:39; 3:15; 6:13; 16:17).
The Apostles Doctrine teaches us:
1.) Give no place to the devil (Eph 4:27).
To make the attitude of the Jewish Jesus even more plain, the devil is to be put into the lake of fire and to be tormented for eternity (Matt 25:41).
And this enemy of God and man, will be cast into the Lake of Fire (see Rev 20:10).
We are in the midst of this war right now. The devil has raised up his soldiers to bring the world into the house of God. The change agents are among us. They have rebellious spirits. They will not submit to leadership. Like the devil they are haughty, self-willed, high-minded, and resist correction and rebuke. The battle against the endtime holiness Saints is everywhere. Preachers and ministers are now showing they are tares and not wheat. We are already in the midst of perverters and blasphemers. They act religious, they look religious, and like the devil they appear as angels of light. But their end is destruction of all that is Godly, Righteous, and Holy. The war is all about us and the Jewish Jesus has told us to endure until the end.
The Jewish Jesus did not die on Calvary to play games with the devil or with sinners. The offer of salvation is not a religious game of dice and chance. It is not something we add to our programs and into our pagan holiday celebrations. The Jewish Jesus stood against the devil all of his life. And in his death, he conquered him who had power over death (Heb 2:14), since he conquered sin. Those rebels and Laodicaeans among us who are wanting more and more sin in the Church to be accepted are inviting spiritual death. They are idiots while the profess themselves to be wise. They are babel and rabble as they puke out their putrid attacks on men of God who want sin out of the congregation.
The Jewish Jesus is not just a man who did miracles, fed some hungry people, held little children on his lap, or who did good deeds for the poor. This Savior, this Delieverer, this Lord of all Righteousness, came to overturn all the damage the devil brought upon the human race.
Why are so many making a contest about how much of the devil's kingdom is tolerable in the Church? Why are so many now claiming holiness is legalism and bondage, whereas worldliness and nakedness are the liberty Christ wants all of us to have? Have these not made the devil into their christ? Have they not a different Jesus than the one in the New Testament?
The Jewish Jesus is my Champion. He is my hero. He is my Lord. I have no desire but to follow him. I have no purpose but to take his message to the nations. I have no joy except to see his glory in the Church upon the people. It is because of this Jewish Jesus I have purpose in life. Without him I have no God in my future. Without him I am as a man with no hope. I have no future and am alone in my journey through a dark and cruel world. I know who I am. I was once blind sitting by the way side. And when I heard some noise. When I asked who that was. Someone said it is Jesus of Nazareth and it was the beggar in me who cried out:

The Jewish Jesus Predicted Catastrophic World Events
The Jewish Jesus predicted catastrophic world events just before his second coming.
Here are his words:
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and upon the earth distress of the nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring". Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken (Luke 21: 25-26).
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be" (Matt 24:21).
These horrors will soon come upon the earth.
The sun and the moon...
We are hearing a lot of lies today that Co2 is the cause of the greenhouse effect and causing global warming. The fact is, over the past 100 years the sun has increased activity of nearly 3 percent. Think of it like this, the sun shines on the oceans, the water evaporates and forms clouds. Clouds from climate. And it is the sun that is controlling our climate. This has been prove by scientist since at least 1995 but their research has been rejected for the Co2 theory. Now we have prophecy that the sun will get 7 times hotter. We do not know what 7 times means, but this we do know, this increase will cause climatic changes on the earth. And with this will come the other signs from heaven that the coming of Jesus is soon.
It appears from the words Jesus uses he is describing several different cosmic events. People on earth will see this first affecting the sun because it is so far away. They will be able to observe the most freightening thing the world has ever seen. Jesus said there was nothing in the past that would compare with this great horror.
We can get a glimpse of this by reading Revelation 8:8-9:
"And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed."
Then comes the next catastrophic event:
"And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountain of waters; and the name of the star is called wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwoodl and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter" (Rev 8:10-11).
Now here it comes:
"And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars: so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise" (Rev 8:12).
What we have here is a cosmic cloud. It cannot be seen with the naked eye until it gets near our galaxie and the light from the sun suddenly hits it. Within this cosmic cloud will be millions of metorites of all sizes. At least one will be as large as a mountain. There will be other large ones. One called wormwood will hit the earth. Other large ones may streak across the sky as they pass through the upper atmosphere. Others will smash into the ground producing massive thunder like sounds. These are the prophesied "stars that fall from heaven."
All of this is because the Jewish Jesus prophesied it.
These things will happen because Jesus cannot and will not lie.
We are on the threshold of judgment and wrath of God upon the earth and the wickedness of man.
Yes, there will be massive tidal waves that can be hundreds of feet high. There will be massive earthquakes when the metorites smash into the earth. We do not need science fiction movies or writers to tell us these things, we have the Word of God, a more sure word of prophecy,
For fear, yes, there is a fear coming that man has never experienced since the time of Noah. And it will be greater in intensity. The visual sight in the sky will turn many to screaming and crying out to God. But it will be to late. They will not repent although they are in great fear.
"and repented not" (Rev 9:20).
"and repented not" (Rev 16:9).
"and repented not" (Rev 16:11).
Who sent this judgment upon the world?
The Jewish Jesus predicted they would take place in the future and they are still pending. Anyone who believes the Catholic Preterist lie these already took place between 66-70AD will be among those who will repent not when it happens.
Scientist are claiming global warming will raise sea levels and flood many coastal areas. The sea may rise according to them anywhere from 8 inches to 3 feet. If this occurs, there will be warmer tempertures causing more evaporation and more storms. Violent storms that will cause hugh waves. We are rapidly headed toward global destruction form beneath and soon to be from heaven.
Many are living it up. They nearly almost refuse to go to Church. They have excuse after excuse. They do not seek for the Holy Ghost. They do not want to live holy. But soon and very soon, our solar system will enter a massive presence of metorites and space junk. And the day of the Lord will draw near.
The Jewish Jesus has told us to be prepared. He has told us to be ready. He has told us there will be not time to run back to the house to get a flight bag. He has told us the time would be evil. And we are told many will run to the rocks and to the mountains to hide from the wrath of him who sits upon his throne.
The Jewish Jesus has told us he will return after this tribulation (Matt 24:29). Do not believe the smooth talkers who say we will all be secret snatched away before the tribulation. Do not believe those who claim the Saints and Church will not go through some massive world events.
The Jewish Jesus has prophesied and the whole heavens and the earth will pass away before his words fail.
If you do not have the Holy Ghost, you need to be at the altar this week getting ready for the coming great day of the Lord God Almighty.
The Jewish Jesus has warned us all.
Here are his words:
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and upon the earth distress of the nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring".
