Jesus and the Word of God is perfect.

Most of all Pray for the Holy Spirit to speak to you as you read and meditate on

His Word.

You can pray something like this;

Father,

Please set myself and my thoughts and my previous teachings aside. Holy Spirit

open my eyes and ears and heart to be ﬁlled with You, Holy Spirit. Show me what

You have for me today. You are Truth and I want to see You.

Matthew shows Pharisees and Sadducees, Why? The

difference is in the beliefs and divisions between the two

sects. Pharisees believe in the resurrection where the

Sadducees did not. Sadducees are the unbelieving Jews in

the Tribulation who will in the end bow down and call Jesus

King of Kings and Lord of Lords. So Jesus was pointing out

the sign of Jonah and the typology of 3 days and nights in

the belly of the fish = 3 days and nights in the hell. They

didn’t understand because they were blinded.

Mark shows only the Pharisees because they believed in

the resurrection however they denied Jesus as Christ the

Messiah. Why do they not get a sign? They are the

Tribulation saints. Their eyes will be opened when the

Rapture ( RESURRECTION OF THE CHURCH ) happens, they

will fall to their knees like Elisha and will receive that

double portion.

Luke, although is talking to Bride by

warning us to know the time of the

Rapture. Discern the Time! Luke

knows the order of things and we

can know the season, and in my

understanding the year that Jesus,

the Bridegroom, will come for His

Bride. Watch, and again I say

watch!

Matthew we see here is clearly speaking to Jews who

are keeping the Law. He is warning them that praying

this way is gaining a reward from man, PRAISE of

MAN. We see that Matthew adds “For Yours is the

kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

Jews will in the end confess Jesus Christ as Lord and

King.

Luke is clearly talking to the Bride because he leaves

out “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the

glory forever. Amen.” Why? The Bride knows Jesus

Christ as Saviour so notice verse 3 of Luke is different

than Matthew, The Jew may not have the next day to

pray or read the Word. We the Bride however are

needing the Word every day.

Each day we the Bride must confess any sins and

continually forgive those who sin against us.

Rapture

There are only two verses in

between Matthew and Luke that

have similar sayings. However

notice how Jesus talks to each

group!

“Blessed are the poor in spirit”

Jesus in Matthew’s account is

speaking ABOUT them, true

believers!

“Blessed are you poor”

Jesus is speaking of them, true

believers!

Clearly in Luke’s account Jesus is

speaking to His Bride before the

Rapture.

Matthew’s account Jesus is speaking

about the true believers after the

Rapture.

The Bride and

those who

accept Jesus

after the

Rapture!

Matthew’s account, Jesus is speaking to Jews who

have not accepted Him as Messiah before the

Tribulation, Jacob’s Trouble. Jesus is using THEY,

THOSE pronouns to emphasize who are true

believers. The Jewish religious crowd were prideful

and did not want to give up their status here on earth.

They were looking for the King that would setup the

Kingdom on earth THEN! They were blinded. As it

says in verse 5b “for they (true believers) shall inherit

the earth.” Jesus was alluding to the future time in the

millennium when we true believers would rule and

reign over those left after the Great Tribulation.

Rapture

Do you see?

Luke

The Bride

Matthew

the Jews

Matthew in verse 25 adds “or what you will drink”, Why? Let us think about this from the viewpoint of Tribulation. In

Revelation 8 and the 2nd and 3rd Trumpets, the waters turn to blood, water will be scarce. “Nor about your body” ,

emphasis on YOUR, again during the Tribulation they will be killed for believing in Jesus. Their body will be

destroyed. Matthew is telling the Jews and unbelievers that trying to prep and gather food will be useless.

Verse 32 Matthew is clearly speaking to Jews, “For after all these things THE GENTILES seek”, Luke says “the

nations of the world”

Matthew in verse also deals with the Jews dependence on the Law hear when he tells them to seek God FIRST and

HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, not their righteousness.

Worrying about tomorrow is futile when you are dealing with the possibility of death at any moment during the

Tribulation.

As you read through both of these passages,

note all the differences highlighted.

Luke for the most part says the same thing to the Bride, but adds verse 26. Berean

Standard Bible translates verse 25 this way, “Who of you by worrying can add a

single hour to his life?” Only God has control of our lives and when we die. The

lesson to learn is that we trust God with every aspect of our lives so why worry.

Notice in verse 31 Luke leaves out what Matthew wrote about Jesus’ righteousness.

Why? The Bride has trusted by faith in Jesus and His Righteousness and seeks God

diligently, like Enoch in Hebrews 11:5-6.

Lastly, Luke includes verses 32-34. Notice the words “little flock”, oh the spiritual

implications of those words. The flock is little because narrow is the way that leads

to heaven. Another reason why Luke is to the Bride.

Matthew

Luke here is warning everyone to seek Jesus. Notice that he pulls in what Matthew wrote that Jesus said in the parable of the Ten

Virgins. My understanding of the Ten Virgins is that they are the ones left behind and only 5 of the Virgins believe in Jesus during

the Tribulation. In my Revelation Study I talk about the Door being SHUT at the Mid-point of the Tribulation.

Luke goes on to say that they will be going into “weeping and gnashing of teeth”. What does this mean? My understanding is there

are two meanings here, 1st the second half of the Tribulation is utter darkness and in Revelation we see reference to the gnashing

of teeth in chapter 16: 10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of

darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. This is the 5th Bowl which is darkness poured out. 2nd there is the

casting into the Lake of Fire where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The Bride is in heaven at the wedding feast, the saints will make it by the mid-point, and the Remnant will be saved by the end of

the Great Tribulation and the rest will be forever separated from God.

Luke

Matthew

the Jews

Matthew by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote “invited”. Who are the invited? Everyone is invited. John 3:15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His

only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Salvation is through Jesus Christ who is from the Tribe of Judah, a Jew. The Jews however persecuted the messengers and even killed them. Rejecting Jesus made them unworthy. This is why verse 7, the destruction of

Jerusalem in 70 AD.

Now the church was born to go and spread the Gospel to the “and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind. Luke 14:21”.

What is the wedding garment? The white robe that all who accept Jesus Christ receive, so those that do not believe in Christ by the mid-point of the Tribulation will be cast into outer darkness separated from God.

Luke in his writings is going into more description of those who were/are invited, these begin to make excuses

that show where their hearts are, the world. As with Matthew, Luke writes that God sends out servants (of the

Groom) to get the (Bride) “and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.” Then the

tribulation saints are brought to the wedding feast at the mid-point, “Go out into the highways and hedges, and

compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”

What is “kingdom of God” referring to here? My understanding is that there are 2

meanings, the first being it is the spiritual body of Jesus Christ the Church, the

second being the actual place where God is. So which one Is Jesus talking about

here? The actual place where God is. Heaven is where the kingdom is now but

will be on earth when Jesus comes at the end of Tribulation to setup His throne in

Jerusalem for 1000 years.

What is that day? THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD

The Great day of the Lord is not just one day, but the

culmination of the whole 7 year Tribulation.

Rev. 6:17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is

able to stand?”

Joel 2:11b For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible;

Who can endure it?

Isaiah 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts

Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,

Isa. 13:6 Wail, for the day of the LORD is at hand!

It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

Matthew, speaking to Jews, is pointing them to the

connection of Jesus shedding His blood as the sacrifice

that truly removes sin, animal sacrifices are no longer

necessary.

I love the NKJV translation, because it is emphasizing how much Jesus longed to be

with the Bride.

Luke is definitely talking to the Bride! Only in Luke does Jesus say “this cup” in

verse 20, which in the Galilean wedding tradition, that is unique from all other

weddings in the region at that time period, the cup was offered to the desired bride

and it was her decision to either drink from the cup or not.

It doesn’t matter how large a church a preacher has, how many books he has sold, or how many people applaud him. If he “teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with

the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness,” then he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing (1 Timothy 6:3).

Matthew 3:7

John 8:42-44

Matthew here is speaking of the

unrighteous path that the Jewish priests

of the past had taken to deceive the

kings of old. Telling lies for gain and

money. Matthew also warns of the

coming judgment on those who do not

know Jesus Christ.

Mark’s account is different in that he warns false teachers

against making people fall in to sin. He is warning them of

judgment for every word they speak and soul they lead

astray. John even spoke to the religious leaders. Jesus

even equates them to Satan the 1st serpent, snake.

Luke never mentions anything about False Prophets or teachers. Why? The

Bride has the Holy Spirit now living inside them and IF they are led by the

Holy Spirit they will know the Truth. When we have the Truth, by being in

God’s Word, we are able to hear and see the false. Paul was preaching to the

Bereans and they even said to Paul that they would test what he said against

the Scriptures. This is where we get the saying “Be a Berean”.
