13. But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
Yahusha said this. To the priests this was offensive thing to say. But this is totally true. As in all these statements it comes with a warning. Oὐαὶ is to say grief to you or you will grieve because you did theses things. But it is also saying I condemn you because you do these things. This brings up the question, did Yahusha have the right to condemn the Scribes and Pharisees? Yes He did because He was fully Elohiym and fully human.
Here we also see the hypocrites acting like righteous men but in the unseen they are wicked. Yahusha was fully aware of the unseen and exposed what they were doing if they knew it or not..
Translogical is looking for truth if it is true by definition or not. But if the answer given is not true by definition and is not true by not a logical definition, it's no longer translogical. That would be deception leading to destruction.
The question is, why would these Scribes and Pharisees want to stop people from entering Heaven? This is because they didn't believe the dead went to heaven or hell. They only believed that someday the righteous will resurrect into human bodies again. Pharisees expected a Messiah to fit their views of events. Yahusha is the Messiah son of Joseph and also Messiah son of David. Yahusha is Messiah, its just that the truth wasn't in simple logic. The Truth of Yahusha Hamashia is translogical.
14. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
Hypocrites will receive a greater condemnation because of the theft of the homes of widows they have taken. Simple logic says theft or the priests had the right to take the property. Discernment says they used the deception of the serpent found in the Garden of Eden. The long prayers that cover-up the crime is nothing but political manipulation.
Today government give rights to squatters who have no permission to take a home. They pay nothing for the use of the house. It doesn't matter how many logical things they present, it's still theft. When the Cherub Heylel BenSahar became Satan, he became a squatter in Heaven. Yahuah Elohiym kicked him and his followers out of Heaven. If Adam didn't give up the right to Earth, this planet would be better than it is now. This is why there is serpent seed in it.
15. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
In the time of Yahusha and His Disciples Judaism was spread among the sea ports. Today there's Orthodox, Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionist Judaism.
Four quotes:
1. Orthodox Jews believe in one God, and they adhere to the Ten Commandments and other associated laws of God from the Torah and Talmud.
2. Reform Judaism asks us to renew our living Covenant with God, the people Israel, humankind, and the earth by acknowledging the holiness present throughout creation – in ourselves, in one another, and in the world at large – through practice that includes reflection, study, worship, ritual, and more.
3. Conservative Judaism is a form of traditional Judaism that falls halfway between Orthodox Judaism and Reform Judaism. It is sometimes described as traditional Judaism without fundamentalism. Masorti is traditional Judaism practised in a spirit of open-minded enquiry and tolerance.
4. Reconstructionist Jews believe the Jewish people share historical memory and destiny, a commitment to the Hebrew language and the land of Israel and are heirs to a rich legacy of thought, laughter and tears that continues to grow in our day.
I will not add my opinion about Judaism today because of what Yahusha said about the wheat and tares. I only discern history, prophecy or if challenged. However I wish to point out that it's not just Jews who have the right to the Land of Israel. All the Tribes of Israel have a right to call Israel their homeland. I have several homelands because of my ancestry. However so do others. Homelands are not free for the taking including Israel. The Temple Mount does not belong to the Tribe of Levi or Judah. It belonged to the Prophet Jeremiah the last caretaker of the Ark of the Covenant. Today it belongs to the Prophet Yahusha called Jesus. He is still alive and will return to the Mount of Olives and prepare the Temple Mount.
16-22. “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the sanctuary, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the sanctuary is obligated.’ You fools and blind men! For which is more important, the gold or the sanctuary that sanctified the gold? And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering on it, he is obligated.’ You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering? Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it. And whoever swears by the sanctuary, swears both by the sanctuary and by Him who dwells within it. And whoever swears by heaven, swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.
Yahusha made a translogical statement and and brought it all together in truth. People would rather leave parts or most of it out and debate about the contents of the situation bleeding off power for themselves. It is Yahusha Hamashia who is Yahuah in a man's body provided by the Virgin Mary and anointed by Mary Magdalene that sits on the Throne of Heaven.
23-24. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the Law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. You blind guides, who strain out a gnat but swallow a camel!
This one is an example of what I was pointed out. Key points of the Word of Yahuah Elohiym are not talked about because Truth would come to the light of day. When was the last time you heard someone speak about justice, mercy or faithfulness? In religion they focus on the little things while ideology of Satan is a large part of religion and sits unnoticed.
25-26. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.
This was asking religious leadership to take notice of internal corruption. The Romans put an end to the Temple corruption by destroying the Temple in 70 CE. A Translogical Look at the Temple Destruction is;
1. The Romans did the correct thing to eliminate terrorism within the Roman Empire.
2. The Romans acted beyond reason when an agreement may have been made to bring peace between the Jews and the Roman Empire.
3. The destruction of the Temple was Yahuah Elohiym's will because of internal corruption from within the Temple.
4. The scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites brought the destruction upon the Temple and Jerusalem themselves because of their actions towards the Romans and non-Jews.
All these statements are true and yet they may appear opposite in Nature. If Religion would be free from robbery and self-indulgence, it wouldn't be targeted as much. But within Antichrist's government it's the pure in heart that is targeted no matter what. This is when Yahuah Elohiym takes action like He did on Sodom and Gomorrah or Egypt in the days of Moses.
27-28. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. In this way, you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
This is a foreshadowing of the kingdom of Antichrist. Antichrist is the leader who is Lawless. Judaism will except Antichrist's government just because it goes against Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus and that it appears like what they want Judaism to be. If it's to good to be true, it probably is deception. Eve thought she was getting everything she wanted but all she received was hardship and then death.
29-33. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ So you bear witness against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell?
In a way Eve was a foreshadowing of Judaism. Everything was good when they served Yahuah Elohiym. After the prophets started warning Judea about their sins, prophets died and Judah suffered hardship and death. Two Witnesses are yet to come. They too will be put to death by Judaism and Rome two point 0.. This marks Jerusalem for destruction again.
34-36. “On account of this, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
The prophets was the Disciples. The first Prophet to die was Stephen. Joseph of Arimathea, Mary Magdalene, Martha, Lazareth and others was exiled in hopes they would die unnoticed at sea. Not only those killed by Jews, but those Believers killed by the Roman church will be revenged. This is because the False Prophet will unite all religion into one worship of Antichrist. This was partly fulfilled in 70 CE but it will be fully revenged in the future. This revenge will start with the Trumpet Judgments.
