Christ Or Barabbas. Part [9] 03/04/2024 (Evening thought)

Isaiah 59:12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; 13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood

“Barrabas” in our day represents everything that we know to be wrong. Thus, by deliberately choosing a known wrong, persons would be choosing Barabbas over Christ, just as the people in Christ’s day knew it was a criminal they were choosing over Christ. Willful blindness does not render persons or nations void of responsibility for the choices made. In every thing that we do, in every choice that is made, clear lines of truth, righteousness, and judgment should bear sway, without bias or favoritism.

We all are now on the cusp of the most momentous scenes that are to transpire upon the earth at a time when the world, and America in particular is volatile on all levels. Therefore, in every choice that folks have to make, whether it be on the job, at home, in business, or in spiritual things let none be found choosing Barabbas over Christ, for if we do, individually, and nationally, our own probation may close not long after.

We therefore end with a passage of scripture which should awaken us to the urgency of the moment. It is not the will of God that we remain ignorant of the prophecies that are being fulfilled in our day, for the things that are happening currently, portend those climactic scenes that are just on the horizon.

Isaiah 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 15 Yea, truth fails; and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

Christ Or Barabbas. Part [8] 03/03/2024 (Morning thought)

Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

At this juncture, it is imperative that we read the two particular passages of scripture above, because the demise of God’s chosen people anciently has a warning for us in our day, especially since the Bible predicts that a system of government that is antichrist in nature is going to rear its head in our day. And because of this we would find ourselves having to choose between Christ or “Barabbas” just as the people of God were brought to that point in their experience.

Persons of conscience are not to turn a blind eye to what is transpiring upon the earth, and this applies particularly, first and foremost to America, where it is stated that man-worship will be institutionalized first, and then its tentacles will ultimately be spread abroad globally.

The judiciary, as well as the people are to preserve their consciences, as best they can, by not putting darkness for light, bitter for sweet, or darkness for light. This is what Pilate, Caiaphas, and the multitude of people did anciently, when they had perverted judgment in the choice of Barabbas, a known felon.

Matthew 27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will you that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
