THE CONSEQUENTIAL WOES OF THE PHARISEES AND SCRIBES

My Dear Precious Child,
    In the teachings of Jesus Christ He taught about the consequences that were going to come upon the politicians and lawyers, called the Pharisees and scribes, and also other people who were rich at the expense of the poor.  He told them that woes would come upon them for their actions,and when My Holy Spirit ushered in My kingdom of God in the lives of the poor in spirit that the rich would not be able to enter as long as they oppress the poor.  He said that because they sought consolation in their money that they would not be able to enter into the glories of My kingdom unless they gave their money to the poor. (Luke 6:24)
    He said that when My kingdom came to earth on the day of Pentecost that the people with full stomachs would be hungry, that those people who laughed at the time would mourn and weep.  He said that woes come upon the people who speak well of the people with full stomachs, for they also spoke well of the prophets and then killed them. (Luke 6:25; Luke 18:18-25)
    There were more woes that the devil was pouring upon the Pharisees, those being the politicians, because of their treatment of the poor and least fortunate of My children.  Jesus said that woes were coming upon them because they tithed mint and rue and all manner of herbs, but they passed over discerning the works of the devil and they passed over being acquainted with My Love.  He said that the politicians/religious leaders ought to have made tithes but they should also not have left undone discerning the devil's works and that they should not have had left undone loving Me. (Luke 11:42)  Because of the truth of seeds sown grow like plants, their doing the will of the devil would grow woes in their lives.
    Other woes that Jesus knew was to come upon the Pharisees, who were the politicians, if the woes were not already evident, were the consequences for taking the uppermost seats in the synagogues and their being greeted in the market places with honor only reserved for Me.  He said that the politicians/religious leaders were like unmarked tombs that people walked on without knowing it. (Luke 11:43-44) They were dead on the inside.
     During the litany of woes that Jesus was prophesying that were either already there or soon to come upon the politicians and lawyers, a lawyer spoke up, called Jesus "Master" and told him that he was insulting them by speaking in those terms.  Jesus became more specific in identifying the sins of lawyers when He said that they load burdens upon the backs of people that are unending, burdens that they did not move one finger to help lift.  He knew that they had bound themselves to the devil in their adding burden to less fortunate people who were already burdened and He knew that they were living off of the misfortunes of people. The devil's woes were soon coming upon those lawyers because they had bound themselves to the devil by doing his will in the earth.  The devil's rewards for them were burdens and woes in their own lives like they produced in the lives of other people. (Luke11:45-46) 
    He told the Jewish politicians and law makers that their inheritance from their lord, the devil, was that more woes would pour into their lives from hell because they built tombs for the prophets, the very men whom their own fathers had killed.  He said that they were the images of their fathers for their fathers killed them and then the Pharisees built sepulchers for them.  The result of doing the will of the devil is that people inherit the devil's curses in their lives because of the spiritual principle of seeds that they sow grow the same plants.  (Luke 11:47)
   Jesus referred back to the lawyers, the scribes, and told them that they had taken away the key of knowledge of prophetic scriptures from people and they did not enter into My kingdom themselves.  He accused them of not only locking up the revelation of scriptures but that they hindered the people who desired to enter into My kingdom.  (Luke 11:52)
   When Jesus Christ was about to leave the house where He had been teaching, the scribes and Pharisees, those being the politicians and the law makers, began to vehemently oppose Him for His speaking about woes which were to come upon them for their treatment of the least fortunate of My children.  They questioned Him about many matters, hoping to catch him in something with which they could accuse Him to the Roman authorities.  They found nothing.
    Jesus was trying to urge the politicians and law makers to reject their present opulent lifestyles, encouraging them to stop domineering the poor, and instead to believe in Him by pointing out the calamities that were going to come upon them because of their attitudes and actions toward the people who were believing in Him and receiving many miracles in answer to their needs. The rich politicians and lawyers were afraid that if He was the Messiah that they would have to give up their palaces and servants. They had no appetite for becoming servants of people, like Jesus Christ is.   So the Jewish politicians and lawyers began plotting His crucifixion together, even though He had broken no laws.
    The politicians and scribes were the people whom Jesus told you to avoid copying  their attitudes and actions and to avoid listening to their teachings and lectures in the synagogues or the same woes will come upon you as came upon the Pharisees and the scribes. 
    His cautions and commands should benefit My children in their lives on earth. Power always corrupts people, even if they begin with good intentions.  They often begin in My will but become united with others who do the will of the devil and join in their activities which bring the devil's woes into their lives.  (Galatians 3:1-5; Galatians 5:16-26)
    Heed My instructions through My Son.  Do not be deceived even if the politicians and law makers call themselves by My name.  You must check their attitudes and actions. (Luke 6:43-45) If they do not reflect My love toward the least fortunate of people, avoid hearing their words and doing their actions or you will inherit the same woes instead of your inheriting My kingdom of God while you live in the earth. (Romans 14:17)
