Reign of YHWHPreview
Open in TheBrain

Matthew 11

Verses 1-6

11 And it came to pass,

when Jesus ended directing //sermon on the mount//

his twelve disciples, //talmidim//

he departed

thence to teach and to preach

in their cities.

^2 ^And John //John the Baptist//

having heard in the prison

the works //good works//

of the Christ,

having sent two of his disciples, said to him //Jesus//,

`Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?'

And Jesus answering said to them //John’s disciples//,

`Having gone, declare to John

the things that ye hear and see,

blind receive sight,

and lame walk,

lepers are cleansed,

and deaf hear,

dead are raised,

and poor //humble// have good news //of the Reign of God// proclaimed,

and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.'

May not be stumbled in me = whosoever is not offended in me, or does not find a cause of michshol (falling, stumbling) in me [as Moshiach].

Verses 7-10

And as they are going //John’s disciples were leaving//

Jesus began to say

to the multitudes concerning John,

Meaning “Yochanan’s people.” Many of Yeshua’s talmidim were immersed by Yochanan.

`What went ye out to the wilderness to view? --

a reed shaken by the wind?

`But what went ye out to see? --

a man clothed in soft garments?

lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses.

`But what went ye out to see? --

a prophet?

yes, I say to you,

and more than a prophet,

for //more than a prophet because// this is he //John the Baptist//

of whom it hath been written,

Lo, I do send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

Jewish Flashback: Malachi 3 - Prophesies of
- John the Baptist coming,
- Jesus coming - that Jesus will come as a refining fire and lauderying soap. He will purify the Levites (the priests)
Jewish Flashback: Exodus 23:20 “He will prepare the way before me”
- Watch and listen to His voice. Do not rebel against Him. Listen closely to His voice. Do not bow down to their gods and serve them or do what they do. Overthrow them. Serve YHWH/God and he will bless you.

Verses 11-15

Verily I say to you,

there hath not risen,

among those born of women,

a greater than John the Baptist,

but he //anyone//

who is least

in the reign of the heavens

is greater

than he //John the Baptist//.

`And, from the days of John the Baptist till now,

the reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, //enter into oppression HGV//

and violent men do take it //reign of the heavens// by force, //decrees overtake him with strength HGV//

for //the reign of heaven suffers because// all the prophets and the law till John //John the Baptist// did prophesy, //and the Torah prophesied//

and if ye //the multitude// are willing to receive [it], //If you want to choose it HGV//

he //John the Baptist// is Elijah who was about to come;

he //anyone// who is having ears to hear //shema//-- let him hear.

The descendants of Jacob have always turned away from the Lords decrees - but if they return to Him, He will return to them.
- They rob their tithes and offerings from him - if they bring those to him, he will abundantly bless and care for them.
- They spoke arrogantly against God
- A faithful remnant feared the Lord, a rememberance was written for them, they will be his treasured possessions and will be spared.
- A distinction will be made between the righteous and the wicked - those who serve God and those who do not.
- the arrogant and evildoer will be stubble and set on fire, not even a root or branch will be left.
- The faithful will rise with healing, will trample on the wicked
- Remember the law of Moses, the decrees and laws
- God will send the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day when the Lord comes.
- He will turn the hearts of the parents and children against each other or God will come and strike the land with total destruction.
The oppressors take the reign of the heavens by determining what is good and bad in man’s eyes, instead of what is good and bad in YHWH’s eyes. Make up their own laws.

Verses 16-19

`And to what shall I liken this generation?

it is like little children in market-places,

sitting and calling to their comrades,

and saying, We piped unto you,

and ye did not dance,

we lamented to you,

and ye did not smite the breast.

`For //like little children because//

//They say//

John came neither eating nor drinking,

He hath a demon;

the Son of Man came eating and drinking,

Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker,

a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners,

and wisdom was justified of her children.'

Verses 20-24

Then began he //Jesus// to reproach the cities

in which were done most of his mighty works,

because they did not reform.

`Wo to thee, Chorazin!

wo to thee, Bethsaida!

because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you,

long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed;

but I say to you //Chorazin & Bethsaida//,

to Tyre and Sidon

it shall be more tolerable //smaller punishment HGV// in a day of Judgment than for you //Chorazin & Bethsaida//.

`And thou, Capernaum,

which unto the heaven //where God is// wast exalted,

unto hades //the place of the dead// shalt be brought down,

because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee,

it had remained unto this day;

but I say to you //Capernaum//,

to the land of Sodom it shall be more tolerable //smaller punishment HGV// in a day of Judgment than to thee.'//Capernaum//

- the arrogant and evildoer will be stubble and set on fire, not even a root or branch will be left.
- The faithful will rise with healing, will trample on the wicked
- Remember the law of Moses, the decrees and laws
Jewish Flashback Isaiah 14:13 Heaven exalted - hadies down

- Sheol from below as excited about their coming.
- The Pmp was brought down to Sheol.
- The shining one fell from heaven and was brought down to Sheol. He joined them in the burial because he ruined the land.

Verses 25-30

At that time Jesus answering said,

`I do confess to Thee, Father,

Lord of the heavens

and of the earth,

that thou didst hide these things

from wise and understanding ones, //wise ones knowing literature HGV//

and didst reveal them to babes. //blamesless/perfect/complete ones HGV//

Yes, Father, because so

it was good pleasure before Thee.

`All things were delivered to me

by my Father,

and none doth know the Son,

except the Father,

nor doth any know the Father,

except the Son,

and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him]. //the Father//

Come unto me,

all ye labouring

and burdened ones,

and I will give you rest,

take up my yoke upon you,

and learn from me,

because I am meek

and humble in heart,

and ye shall find rest to your souls,

For //you will find rest because// my yoke [is] easy,

and my burden is light.'

Jewish Flashback Isaiah 14:3-6
- The oppressor was broken, Rest was given from the sorrow and turmoil and hard service forced on to them.
- The whole earth rested.
Jewish flashback Jeremiah 6 - you shall find rest to your souls
- Jerusalem will be cut down - the city must be punished because it is filled with oppression and she pours out wickness. Violence and destruction in her.
- The word of the Lord is offensive toward Jerusalem, they find no pleasure in it.
- From the least to the greatest are greedy for gain, prophets and priests alkie practice deceit. The dress the woulds of people as tho it is not serious.
- They have no shame in their detestable conduct. They will fall and be brought down and be punished.
- Look at the ancient paths, where the good way is and walk in it - and you will find rest for your souls.
- You will not walk in it. God will bring disaster on the people because they have not listend to his words and have rejected God’s law. The burnt offerings are not acceptibles and the sacrifices do not please me.
Many flashbacks related to rest - menuchah

11 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater [in privilege] than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize]. 13 For all the prophets and the Law prophesied up until John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is [the fulfillment of] Elijah [as the messenger] who was to come [before the kingdom]. 15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear and heed My words.
