Jesus vs the religious leaders

John 8:
- Jesus tells them he is the light of the world!
- On the one hand, light, on the other hand, darkness: apparently, the choice is easy, but people often prefer darkness!
- He also tells them they judge according to the flesh whereas he does not judge any man at all. And if he does, his judgment is truthful, because he is not alone, but God is with him!
- Good judgment vs bad judgment and partiality!
- A bad human specialty!
- Today there is absolutely no light!
- Man is only good for darkness!
- If you watch tv or listen to the radio or read the newspaper, there are plenty of words, I mean empty words!
- People speak to fill emptiness with more emptiness!
- In fact, people speak to say nothing!
- Completely the opposite of Jesus!
- That’s why he used parables!
- It reminds of his Father’s way using visions and dreams with such precision that there was no difference!
- Today it is quite simple: there is no precision, nothing!
- Youngsters can’t even express themselves!
- Everywhere you get tele reality or hyper superficiality!
- Today we can add hyper everywhere meaning hyper emptiness!
- Let’s say hyper progress but it is only hyper emptiness!
- Nothing has any value except money that is again hyper emptiness!
- In the same time man is busy destroying everything which has real value nature and life!

Jesus vs the religious leaders
John 8:
Jesus tells the Pharisees they are Abraham’s offspring but they are seeking to kill him, because his word makes no progress among them!
- Jesus teaches about Yah.weh whereas the religious leaders teach man’s tradition!
- We must be careful about what we learn: the way leading to Yah.weh or man’s tradition which goes nowhere!
- Jesus tells us not to be blind followers!
- Some may prefer John, some may prefer another Gospel! In fact, there are four Gospels and each one enhances certain points! I would give the image of the hand: it has five fingers, some may be more useful than others, when someone loses one, he realizes it is better to have five fingers and losing one is a great miss!
- The majority often forgets one essential point: Yah.weh gave us the whole Bible that is 66 books!
- There is no other book with such diversity, with so many prophets who show us the way to Yah.weh!
- Those who reduce the Bible to a small portion will never understand the Bible!
- Each book is a key leading to Yah.weh!
- We can learn from the good and the bad examples!
- We must keep going away from the bad examples and keep following the good ones!
- This continuity is essential not only to get closer to Yah.weh but to develop a strong relationship to him!
- No continuity no Yah.weh nothing: just emptiness!

Jesus vs the religious leaders
John 8:
Jesus tells them Yah.weh is not their Father because they don’t love him!
- But he comes from Yah.weh!
- And he has come because Yah.weh sent him!
- So why don’t they understand him?
- Because they can’t listen to his word!
- Because they come from their father the devil!
- And they want to do his will!
- He started as a murderer and against the truth!
- He is a liar and the father of the lie!
- On the contrary, Jesus says the truth and they don’t believe him!
- Truth vs lie!
- Yah.weh vs the devil!
- The religious leaders don’t really care about Yah.weh and about the truth!
- We can’t look for our own interests and Yah.weh’s interests: we need to make a choice!
- They can’t understand Jesus because he speaks the truth!
- Which example do we want to follow?
- The choice we make is essential and we must be careful doing it!
- We can’t accuse others because of our own responsibilities!
- Making a choice!
- And keeping this choice!
- Actively!
- And we need knowledge!
- And personal study!
- Everything must be clear and precise in our mind!
- Remember in the bible there is no difference between dreams and visions!
- The human beings who describe them do it with extreme precision!
- We are dealing with extreme knowledge!

Jesus vs the religious leaders

John 8:
- Jesus tells them that the one who is from Yah.weh listens to his sayings!
- Thus they don’t listen to him because they are not from Yah.weh!
- Once again Yah.weh’s Word vs man’s tradition!
- Both are not complementary: we have to make a choice!
- How is it possible to listen and follow those who believe in man’s tradition instead of Yah.weh’s Word?
- Is the difference not so evident?
- And if it is not, it means that we don’t study enough!
- We must be careful: it is a question of life or death!
- We must get away from appearances and keep digging, otherwise we will stay at the surface!
- There is a big difference between activity and inactivity!
- We must never forget: the leader of this world is the devil!
- He does everything for his own interests!
- He knows he is going to be destroyed!
- Thus he wants to bring with him the maximum people!
- He doesn’t want people to be saved!
- And till now he was quite successful!
- But it is also a way to separate people!
- It is necessary to clean the earth!
- There is no room for trash in the next paradise!
- First cleaning pretty soon then a second one after the 1,000 years!

Jesus vs the religious leaders
John 9:
- Some Pharisees say that Jesus is not a man from Yah.weh because he does not observe the sabbath!
- Others wonder how a man who is a sinner can perform such signs!
- As a consequence there is a division among them!
- It is always a dilemma: even if they know they are wrong, they are used to looking for their own interests!
- It is difficult to change when you have been doing something for a long time!
- Humility vs pride!
- Life vs Death!
- Man is used to acting badly!
- He is used to killing himself!
- Thus it is difficult to completely change your attitude!
- He is used to not paying attention to what Yah.weh has always said!
- It is nothing new!
- They have the Bible!
- Everything is written!
- They have the story of the Hebrews!
- They can see Yah.weh’s extreme patience!
- But even Yah.weh’s patience has a limit!
- When it’s too late, it’s too late!
- We are not in a video game!
- When you are going to die, you are going to die!
- When you are an adult, you are not a child!
- You must make up your mind!
- And you must keep it!
- If you can’t do it, there is absolutely no problem!
- You will die!
- End of the story!
- Those who want to dream, they will have to wake up!
- If we don’t listen to Yah.weh’s warnings, no problem!
- Others will listen and get into the next promised land!
- It is as simple as that!

Jesus vs the religious leaders
John 9:
His parents say so because they fear the Jews have decided to expel from the synagogue anyone acknowledging Jesus as Christ!
- The religious leaders have power and they use it or better said abuse it to threaten ordinary people!
- They don’t care about the truth or better said they tell about their own truth which is the opposite of Yah.weh’s truth because it serves their own interests!
- Thus how can they serve ordinary people’s interests?
- They don’t want people to know the truth!
- They like darkness and work in darkness!
- Jesus always warns us against them!
- We must open our eyes and ears!
- It is a question of life or death!
- Jesus always told his disciples to observe and listen carefully!
- It is quite usual among men to stop doing it!
- They start sleeping peacefully!
- But they need to be awoken!
- You must be careful about the right and the wrong people!
- The right people do the right things!
- The wrong people do the wrong things!
- Whatever direction they choose, they keep it!
- We must do the same!
- And better than keeping it, we must engrave it into our minds and hearts!
- Somewhere nobody can take it!
- Somewhere we can’t lose it!
- Somewhere we can’t forget it!
- Thus when the time comes, we will have it and we will save our lives!

Jesus vs the religious leaders

John 9:
The man says how it is possible that they don’t know where he is from whereas he opened his eyes!
- Thus he can only be from Yah.weh!
- The Pharisees answer him he was born in sin thus he can’t teach us!
- So they throw him out!
- The former blind man tricks the religious leaders at their own game!
- Of course, it is against their own interests!
- Thus they deny the obvious!
- But it is a dangerous game because it shows their real nature!
- And it is not from Yah.weh!
- It is how the so-called people of power do!
- They think they know better when they know nothing!
- That’s why we are where we are and why we are going faster and faster!
- But it has to be so!
- That’s why it is necessary to be as active as possible!
- We must get ready or not if we don’t care!
- But it is always better to get ready!

Jesus vs the religious leaders
John 9:
Jesus explains that he has come so those not seeing might see and those seeing might become blind!
- Some of the Pharisees ask him if they are blind!
- Jesus answers saying that if they were blind, they would have no sin!
- They say they see so their sin remains!
- Jesus is clear, the religious leaders are blind because of their attitude and their pride (we can say the same of kings)!
- They don’t want to listen!
- They prefer to defend their own interest!
- They are condemned!
- No way to escape their judgment!
- Their guilt is doubled because they mislead the people who follow them!
- So many bad examples!
- They are deaf and blind!
- They will never understand!
- It is a condition of mind and heart!
- It is necessary to learn how to do it!
- It is not natural!
- Moreover, in this world, being deaf and blind is a protection against superficiality!
- Thus depending on the time, we must learn how to see and hear with more accuracy, or close our eyes and ears!
- Flexibility is required!
- Learn the appropriate times to use our senses with more efficiency!
- But we must not waste them for nothing!
- And in this world there are plenty of opportunities!
- The more we use them for nothing, the more we lose them!
- That’s why we must be extremely cautious!

Jesus vs the religious leaders
John 10:
Jesus speaks about the one not entering into the sheepfold through the door but climbing in by another way is a thief and a plunderer!
- Jesus compares the religious leaders to thieves and plunderers!
- When we remember that they are only looking for their own interests, it makes sense!
- So many people died or became slaves because of them when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans!
- How many will follow the same end because of them when Yah.weh puts an end to this world?
- We must always remember that quality is more important than quantity!
- See how this world is dying!
- There is garbage all around the earth!
- Which means more trouble when they put satellites into orbit!
- It is completely ridiculous!
- And it is the same with everything!
- Mountains of garbage everywhere!
- There is no limit to human stupidity!
- Man only knows how to destroy everything!

John 10:
- Jesus says that the one who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep!
- The doorkeeper opens to him and his sheep listen to his voice!
- He calls them by name and leads them out!
- He goes ahead of them and they follow him, because they know his voice!
- They won’t follow a stranger because they don’t know his voice!
- Jesus is the shepherd, the religious leaders are the strangers!
- The sheep follow him, listen to him!
- He knows the name of each one!
- He leads them out!
- But they will by no means follow a stranger!
- On the contrary they flee from him
- Because they don’t want to get into trouble!
- Do we know the voice of the shepherd?
- Today there is a lot of noise everywhere!
- And the world is too busy to distract our attention from the shepherd’s voice!
- Remember the devil is the leader of this world!
- And he knows how limited his time is!
- So he is very busy!
- And he gets busier and busier as his time is reducing drastically!
- Man usually has no idea!
- He doesn’t usually care!
- Only when he knows he is going to die soon because of a disease!
- But the majority doesn’t care about the coming tsunami which will strike the whole earth!
- As usual!
- Bad choice!
- But he always realizes when it is too late!
- That’s how human beings usually do!
- So all is well in the best of all possible worlds!
- Or is it the contrary?
- Let’s see when it is too late!

John 10:
- Jesus tells about the hired man who is not a shepherd and to whom the sheep do not belong!
- When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and flees!
- Then the wolf snatches them and scatters them!
- THE SHEPHERD vs no shepherd at all!
- THE SHEEP BELONG TO THE SHEPHERD!
- WHEN THE WOLF IS COMING THE HIRED MAN ABANDONS THE SHEEP AND FLEES!
- He is a HIRED MAN and DOES NOT CARE FOR THE SHEEP!
- THE HIRED MAN / ABANDONS THE SHEEP / FLEES
- It is difficult to be more clear!
- Do you need the real SHEPHERD or the HIRED MAN!
- Do you see the vision?
- It is so bright, so incredibly clear!
- There is only one shepherd and a multitude of hired men good to nothing!
- That’s why we have to look for him by ourselves!
- It is only a question of life and death!
- But this time it is not only life and death but eternal life and death!
- It is forever!
- it is no game with several lives!
- This time we are not going to wake up!
- Do we still really value life?
- Do we still know how to fight for life?
- Or are we just going to die because we don’t know how to fight for it?

John 10:

The Jews are divided because of Jesus’ words!

- Some think he has a demon, whereas others he has not!

- It is not something new!

- And it keeps going the same way!

- It is the same with Bible translations!

- It seems there are many Bibles!

- That’s why it is important to keep in mind the original text!

- Jesus said many would come in his name and turn his message into something else to mislead the majority!

- Thus we must be careful!

- Thus we must check everything!

- Thus we must take time on a daily basis to learn about the Bible!

- It is like a trip that will never end!

- The more we understand the more we want to learn!

- And it is not possible to stop!

- But you can’t postpone this trip!

- It is a question of life and death for each one of us!

- If you think you don’t have the time, what do you think that Jesus will say when he comes back regarding you?

- When we get up every morning, don’t we fight for survival and to stay alive?

- Do we think it is different to be able to get into the promised land?

- What is the Bible?

- Isn’t it a fight for survival?

- It is not a question of just saying yes or no!

- It is a question of demonstrating that when we say yes, it is yes and not no!

- And it should be so every day, every moment of our lives!

- We must demonstrate that we care!

- Look at animals,they are alive!

- are we alive or are we already dead?

John 10:

Then the Jews surround him and begin to say to him: “how long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

- They are not serious!

- Better said, they are ridiculous!

- How is it possible to say such words?

- Everybody is speaking about Jesus’ miracles!

- And they can hear his teaching even if they don’t want to listen to it!

- The way you ask questions shows who you are and if you are really interested!

- You can act with bad faith!

- But you can’t cheat people except if they want to!

- The way you act and speak gives many indications of who you really are!

- Do we think that Yah.weh and Jesus are stupid?

- The majority shows it when they act as they act!

- The problem for mankind is that they aren’t stupid!

- Mankind already paid the price for such behavior!

- But they never understand the lesson!

- And they keep laughing at Yah.weh and Jesus!

- On time, Yah.weh and Jesus will laugh at them!

- But this time it will be really painful!

- So except if they decide to change their attitude, they should enjoy themselves as much as they can because they will have a really bad end!

- But apparently they are supposed to be big boys!
