the false prophets seem to have no interest in a lot of scriptures together, and always prefer to only focus on one or two, as if they prefer a dimly lit area to work in, so heres much more scripture, lets see if it helps to illuminate their area.
god gave the meek of the earth warning, to seek meekness, to be hid in the day of the lords anger.
they asked if jesus was that one to come that god warned them to seek, jesus answers how he is giving sight, hearing, mobility, and life, and sums this all up that blessed are those who are not offended in him.
Zephaniah 2:3
Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger.
Matthew 113 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
Matthew 114 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
jesus compares most of the people he is among, how if they hear piped music they wont dance, if they see mourning they wont be moved.
jesus showed how the people did not repent seeing his mighty works, and that they should have repented, and now were worse than sodom.
jesus answers fully he is the one to seek, for the meek of the earth to seek righteousness, to seek judgement, to seek meekness, to take his yoke upon you, and learn of him, for he is meek and lowly in heart.
Matthew 11:6
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Matthew 1116 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
Matthew 1120 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
Matthew 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
the meek seeking the meekness of christ, do so to be blessed to not be offended in him.
when the word is received, if no root is in someone, they will be offended in christ, when persecution because of the word comes their way.
Matthew 13:21
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
jesus again comparing the people hearing him, tells of some who refusing to hear, after repent, and others who didnt repent, agreed but did nothing, believing they needed no repentance. jesus answers how those who did worse than most repented, but these others even seeing the worst offenders repenting, never repented, and they became the worst offenders.
Matthew 2129 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
jesus shows all men are indeed called to him, both good and bad gathered, which as we just saw is, those who repent, and those meek who seek meekness, and also those who seek no meekness, judgement or righteousness, who do not believe they need to likewise repent and not be offended in christ.
when no correct attire is worn, no true preparation has been made, they are thrown out, because many are called, few are chosen, most are offended, most do not seek meekness, they did not repent.
Matthew 229 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Matthew 2213 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
when the end comes, jesus shows it is when many shall be offended, betraying and hating.
this is when many false prophets deceive many.
iniquity is everywhere, the love
of many goes cold.
enduring in those times, is by not being likewise offended because of the word to not be offended in christ, as you see most no longer seek meekness, judgement nor righteousness.
jesus spoke these things unto us, that we should not be offended.
of the time coming, that whosoever kills us, will think that they do God service.
Matthew 249 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Matthew 2410 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Matthew 2412 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
John 16:1
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
god now commanded all men every where to repent.
because of now appointing a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he had ordained; giving assurance unto all men, in that he had raised him from the dead.
Acts 1730 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
But people were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, as
the many false prophets speak to deceive many now, hardened in pride, not seeking the meekness of christ.
Acts 19:9
But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
we are to flee the deception of satan, the antichrist pretenders in all the world now, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
to fight the good fight of faith, to lay hold on eternal life, whereunto we are also called,
to lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, to receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save our souls. the words of the warned deceivers, saves us from living.
the lord who died for us all, is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
1 Timothy 611 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
James 1:21
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
the final message in the words able to save our souls, is to hear the counsel of christ, to be clothed in white clothing, to not be as the bad who have no wedding garment, no repentance, no true sincere preparation in the love, righteousness, judgement and meekness of the saviour of all men who died for all men, our lord jesus christ.
the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands.
men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds
Revelation 3:18
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Revelation 9:20
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
