My Dear Precious Child,
Jesus told His disciples to follow all of the commandments that I gave to the Jews through Moses because they warn about the works of the devil which come in the form of temptations. The disciples had asked which of the commandments was the most important. He replied that loving Me and loving people is the most important one because all of the other nine commandments are covered in those two. He also said that the Pharisees and scribes, those being the politicians and lawmakers, were learned in those laws and the people must do what they teach about the ten laws, but He warned the people not to do what the politicians do in their practicing of the laws because they are now and were then, hypocrites, which has been true throughout history.(Matthew 22:34-40)
Governing officials always seem to begin as servants of the people with good intentions, but the devil's thirst for power overtakes them and they eventually become pawns of the devil. They oppress the poor, burden the widows and orphans, add laws that are burdensome on the least fortunate people in the nation, and they quickly resort to worshiping idols when things are not going their way because of their transgressions. (Matthew 23:1-11) He said that the politicians do not follow their own laws, but instead they add more and more burdens onto the backs of the people, not ever lifting their hands to share the burdens. He said that the politicians of His time went around in robes of royalty so as to be noticed in the marketplace and to be praised by people. They took and still take seats of honor in the churches and gatherings as if they are royalty while all the time they are supposed to be servants of the people.
Then Jesus gave the ultimate warning that anyone who exalts himself or herself will eventually be humbled by the devil's circumstances but anyone who humbles himself or herself will eventually be exalted by Me. (Matthew 23:11-12)
Jesus continued by calling attention to the woes that would come upon anyone who is a politician. He called them frauds who shut the door of My kingdom of heaven in the faces of people and neither do they enter themselves. (Matthew 23:13-14)
He went on to warn about another woe what politicians would experience if they continued in their hypocrisy. He again called them frauds and told them that they travel everywhere to make converts and then they make those converts twice as wicked as themselves. (Matthew 23:15-22) Jesus had very little good to say about the Pharisees and scribes who were the politicians and lawmakers of His day. He told them that it was a evil time for them, that they were blind guides for the people. His insight is valuable because Jesus knew that demons were behind most of the laws by the Pharisees and scribes that were added to the original ten given by Me to Moses.
Jesus was mainly concerned about the politicians causing people to swear by anything that had to do with the religious leaders or the temple because He knew the spiritual law of being bound to anything other than to Me produced results that would cause woes to flood into their lives in the form of calamities, curses, devastation, destruction, problems, weather extremes, worries and other mental torture that accompanies the devil's works. He chided the Jews for insisting that the people swear allegiance to the gold in the temple instead of swearing allegiance to the temple itself, asking if the gold is more important than the temple itself. He said if people swear allegiance to My kingdom of heaven, then he or she is bound to My words that come from My heaven. But if a person swears allegiance to the temple or anything in the temple, then He or she is bound to the woes that come upon the temple, such as the devastation which was soon to come when My kingdom came on the day of Pentecost, as prophesied.
If a person swears allegiance to Me and My heaven, then He or she is obligated to think, act and follow Me and My conduct requirements which bring heaven into their lives on earth. In other words, swearing allegiance to anything that is of the earth causes a person to inherit the woes that are upon that thing in the earth. However, if he or she is in unity and dedication only with Me and My kingdom of heaven, then My blessings can flow into his or her life. (Matthew 18:18) There are no woes as a result of being in unity and bound to Me and My kingdom of heaven, but there are many woes to swearing to be in unity with anything of the flesh, including anything that is in the temple or the temple itself or the politics of the religious activities because they were the same. They are temporary, both the religious practices and the politics (Matthew 23: 16-22) My kingdom of heaven is forever, stable and everlasting.
Learn from the teachings of Jesus Christ. My insights through Him are built upon the rock of revelation knowledge and nothing can come against those truths. They endure forever. Determine that you will not bind yourself to anything that is temporary because anything temporal, as being of the world such as anything that is of the temple, the gold on the altar, the altar itself or the temple itself, will pass away. My kingdom of heaven will never pass away. (Matthew 23:20-22; ) Every earthly nation will eventually pass away because they are of the flesh, not of Me. Everything that is spiritual is eternal, not subject to the passage of time or deterioration.
Jesus was clear in His teachings about your yielding to any temptation which requires your dedication and loyalty to anything to do with earthly matters. They are temporary, subject to change. My kingdom of God is stable, immovable and permanent in your earthly life and your future life in My heaven. Your allegiance reflects something to which you bind yourself. Let it be only to Me and My kingdom of God.
