    Luke 13:22-30, The priority of the straight gate. (Part 2)

    Luke 13:27 - But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity (Literally unrighteousness).

    These are those who have rejected Christ. They will not be allowed in.

    Luke 13:28 - Speaking of those who are unsaved: "There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out."

    Luke 13:29 - Speaking of those who are saved: And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

    Luke 13:30 - This verse is the key to this section. It says, "And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last."



    The application is that people are going to come from the east, west, north, and south. Other nations, the Gentiles, are going to come in and the end result is that a Hebrew or Jewish person that has rejected Christ, they are going to think "We are Hebrews, we are Jews, we are God's chosen people, and we should be there."



    And He (Jesus) is saying no, the first will be last and the last be first. You will see many Gentiles enter in to the banqueting feast, but you yourself cast out!

    You speak much truth that may help many.

    Consider more truth of a passage you quoted.

    Many if those who the Messiah sent away in his judgement had to be Christians. They are described as doing what Christians are well known for doing: great works in his name; healing the sick in his name., asking for Miracles in his name, etc...

    Prophesy is to speak the will of God/Jah with his words to the people to instruct and teach them the will of the most high God.

    Reading the Bible publicly in church is doing exactly that. They are speaking his word instructing the people of his will for them and his instruction for righteousness.

    But these people whom he sent away and said: "I knew you not", did not obey the commandment to love God/Jah and to love all people regardless who they are. Brethren, neighbors, or enemies.

    To live our life for love. God/Jah is Love.

    He tells them what they should have done to obey the ways of Love.

    The Messiah then gives evidence of their lack of knowledge about love. (Lack of knowledge is killing my people)

    To feed the hungry, visit the sick and those in prison, to give to those in need begging from you to help, & Psalm 82 defend the poor and fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and needy, rid out of the hand of the wicked.

    By doing these things we believe his words and obey what God has commanded by loving all forms of people on the Earth.

    He is telling them that his way is Love. And they walked in a different way with pride, "choking on the knat but swallowing the camel."

    They ignored the words of the Messiah: all of the word/law of God/Jah is Love, kindness, mercy and forgiveness.

    Those sent away were single verse beleivers. There is nothing that Jah said in his word that is less important than another. It is completely important in "everything" He has said. We know that even in our lives, it's the small things in love that keeps it together or tears it apart. Look at all of the marriages torn apart by the small things overlooked.

    Thanks Brother Jesse.

    This is some passages I clearly overlooked!

    Luke 13:23-24.

    Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

    Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, AND SHALL NOT BE ABLE.

    There's no way to spin this towards a universal salvation.

    God bless.
