When Christ walked on Earth He often was confronted by the Jewish leadership, the high priest and the Pharisees. They opposed Him and many times plotted to kill Him, because He made the claim that He was the Son of God, which they said was blasphemy.
60 And the high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, saying, Answer you nothing? what is it which these witness against you? 61 But He held His peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, and said to Him, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62 And Jesus said, I AM: and you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and said, What need we any further witnesses? 64 You have heard the blasphemy: what think you? And they all condemned Him to be guilty of death.
Mark 14:60-63
Today the Pharisees are still with us. Some are proud of it and openly state it.
“Yes, yes, I’m a Pharisee, and if Yeshua (Jesus) were here, I’d hang him again.”
-Rabbi Yaron Reuven
6 Then Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
11 How is it that you do not understand that I spoke it not to you concerning bread, that you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Matthew 16:6, 11-12
… He [Christ] began to say to His disciples first of all, Beware you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Luke 12:1
The word Pharisee has become synonymous with the word hypocrisy in modern speech. The leaven of the Pharisees is their doctrine, their teaching, which is from the Babylonian Talmud and not from the Torah (the books of Moses). It is that teaching based on traditions (writings of past rabbis) that Jesus criticised on numerous occasions (Matthew 15:3,6; Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42).
He also whipped the moneychangers in the Temple who were making merchandise of men (Matthew 21:12; Mark 11:15). They were turning the worship of God into a business. See picture above. Nothing has changed. They are now running the global finances, sucking the wealth from the poor just as they did in Jesus time.
We are told by the Lord to not fear the laws they introduce through their political puppets. They incrementally push to outlaw anything Christian, moral, sane, traditional, wholesome and godly.
Their program is well underway with UN Agenda 2030 whereby they hope to establish one world government.
The digital ID and digital cashless CBDC control system is their final push to trade in the souls of men (Revelation 18:13). And those who refuse to worship their god, Lucifer, because they love Jesus Christ, and will not worship the beast, may suffer the final victory — sudden death, sudden glory.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:4
If they did it to Jesus they will do it to His followers. See Revelation 20: The Church Age.
Fear not! That is stated 62 times in the KJV English Bible.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28
4 And I say to you My friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear Him, which after He has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear Him.
Luke 12:4-5
Everyone will eventually die. This is inevitable. But far better to live for Christ and die in glory than to live for self or Satan and die in shame and everlasting contempt (Daniel 12:2).
Brethren, hold to that which is good.
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; hold to that which is good.
Romans 12:9
