It is said,(we really know until we can ask HaShem) That HaShem was speaking for Jerusalem. I really don't see as we can say this isn't true, as the Word does say Jerusalem is the apple of His eye. Add that to the fact that when looking at prophecy, (keep in ind I am not one to say I understand that much) we can see that Israel is His time peace. So yes it vary likely that He started it when the sun was setting over Israel.
Can i ask how you can say the above has nothing to do with the law?
it had to do with the truth of the messiah whom those who had GOD's WORD and we're under the LAW should have understood by all the goings on that GOD's WORD and PROMISE had come
But instead of believing, they disbelieved and even challenged THE WORD
Nor only that, two of these above passages speak about John's message.
The "brood of vipers" came out to hear john, that's for sure...but they didn't want to do what John told the crowds to do
if they did, it would be a witness against them before all the common folks that they too were unclean and in need of this baptism
So they didn't do it
and John called them out on it

Matthew 12 and 23 had to do with the TRUTH that the Pharisees did not believe HIM and so they tried to trap HIM through the requirements of THE LAW
that is why Jesus called them a brood of vipers because here they are claiming to follow the law but they can't even make a right judgement not only about what is good and right to do but concerning CHRIST to be THE MESSIAH

This is an impossible question to answer because nobody has done this and will ever be able to do this..... except for Jesus Christ our Saviour. He kept the Torah to the last letter.
God was and is always looking for relationship with us, if we are in a relationship with Him the law will take care of itself because man made doctrines will not have a hold on us
. God's law is His law and as He is a non-changing god we can with certainty say that our problem with the law is with our interpretation and not with God's law.

First of all, no one can keep the law perfectly but Jesus. Abraham was justified by faith. Without faith it is not possible to please God. Do you think someone without faith or belief in the Word of God would be justified by God? Why do you waste time thinking of ridiculous questions? There is no salvation outside of Christ. Jesus said "NO one comes to the father but by me."

How does any man enter into a right relationship with GOD
especially since by HIS WORD to those under THE LAW, HE had already declared all unclean. And not only those under the LAW but all nations
So doesn't GOD have to first wash us and declare us clean. in order for us to be in the right relationship with HIM?

The Jews did not want to wash. They did not want to listen to John because if they did what he said, they would have had to admit that they were imperfectt (and no different than the common folk who looked to them as their spiritual link to GOD). They would have had to admit to those who thought they had a right relationship with GOD, that they too were convicted and guilty of their sins, that they couldn't follow the law perfectly and they needed to be washed.
and they could not do it
and they could not do it
Faith in the WORD of GOD
You mean faith in CHRIST right
Faith in all GOD's PROMISES to those who believe in and look to HIM as their HOPE that all who believe in HIM
have life and HE will raise them up on the last day
Right
that is what you meant when you said faith in GOD's WORD
You meant faith in JESUS

No I dont
i believe the LAW was put in place to lead us to THE SON from
the beginning
that is why when HE reopens the eyes of HIS FIRST LOVE and they look upon the ONE whom they have pierced, they will understand
though some will mourn as for an only son, others will go out like calves released from their stalls when HE removes the yoke burden of their guilt and sin and opens up a fountain to the inhabitants of David for purificatuon
then they'll understand
these discussions amongst those who have the meat of HIS WORD,who are fat and filled confuse those baby little lambs trailing behind who haven't first drunk the milk of HIS WORD
and that milk is the TRUTH of THE GOOD NEWS through faith in CHRIST
