 *2. 13:31-35 JESUS' APPOINTMENT WITH JERUSALEM*

*a. 13:31 PHARISEES WARN JESUS*

*In that very :hour certain Pharisees came, saying to him,*

En auT*E* *te* H*O*ra proS*E*Lthan ti-nes Pha-riSAIoi, LEgon-tes auT*O*,

*Get you out, and go from here: for Herod wishes to kill you.*

 *NOTE**: (2010-12-08) - 13:22-30 - Christian **Professors are not
necessarily Possessors!* The inquirer in verse 23 is not uncommon. People
wonder. But here Jesus leaves none in doubt. There *is* a narrow door to
enter the Kingdom of God. It is *not* as difficult as some would make it -
but it is *far* from as easy as others would say and teach. It is far better
*not* to listen too closely to fellow human beings. Rather, *go back* to the
true words of Jesus and His apostles. If there are those who do *not* speak
in accordance with God's words - it is because there is *no light* in them.
*Prove* *all* *things*! Take nothing for granted! The risks are *too great*.
There *is** *a heaven to gain, and a hell to shun! Jesus and His apostles
said so! Is it worth taking a chance by listening to and following those who
do *not* line up with these words? For *me* - I have made up my mind 66
years ago - I have made my choice - I *side* with Jesus and His apostles,
and His 8 NT writers! I find that *here* there is safety! - *here* there is
security. Eternity is too long a time to play fast and loose with. Our 70-90
years down here is altogether too short a time to put all our hopes on, and
ignore the possibility of a very long future in one of two places.


 You say - But I don't believe what you believe and say. But - *what if* I
am correct, and *you* are wrong and short-sighted? Is such a possibility
worth gambling on? *Not* for me! The possibility of such a future is *too
great* to gamble on. And Jesus said - the *vast majority* through
carelessness are on the Broadway of eternal destruction, and *few* like
myself, are on the narrow way of eternal life. It is appointed unto man *
once* to die - and - *after that* - *the Judgment*! These are the words of
Jesus through His NT writers. Too sober - and too important to fool around
with. God wants this word of the Good News of His Kingdom to reach
*every*human being. What they do with it is
*their choice* - but at the Judgment - the foolish ones will be without
excuse! They heard, but either neglected - or made the wrong choice. I have
*not* neglected, and I believe I have made the *correct* choice. I invite *
all* fellow human beings to join me in my choice. Why not? you have little
to lose. If you deny yourself in this life - it is only up to 90 or so years
at the most - but *then* all the wonders of God's Presence, Heaven and
Paradise lie before you!


 *13:31-35* - What we do with *Jesus* - is the critical question in this
life. The Father *sent Him*. He came 2000 years ago as the Son of :man in
the Name of the Father - of God - Jehovah! His name in Hebrew, Yeshua, means
“Jehovah is our Salvation”, for He alone saves His people from their sins.
In His humanity, He is a Jew! In His deity, He is God! Jerusalem refused
Him! How sad! But the *small* remnant who received Him, will *not* be
disappointed or ashamed. When He returns - which is *very soon*, those who
see the wounds in His hands and feet and side - and who will say, Blessed is
He - Jesus - who returns in the Name of Jehovah - *they* will see Him, be
received by Him, and inherit the new heaven and the new earth!


 So - carefully read the words of *God's* Bible Numeric Interlinear Greek
New Testament. Forget the Greek transliteration if you will, but read indeed
and carefully the heavy black type English text, and the sentence and
paragraph outlines. Don't look at the latter as inspired like the NT text -
they are *not*. Make use of the empty space above - by crossing my outline
out and substituting your own - if you can improve on mine - and surely you
can!


 Bless you friend as you do so! My wife and I both entered God's Kingdom by
*first* reading *His* Bible. We received confirmation afterwards by
listening to His saints! We learned how to evaluate *false*, so-called
confirmation. We retain the true, and discard the false. J.A.Watt


*PS.  This portion of Luke has previously been mailed. But at the suggestion
of Printer and others, I am reversing the order of the Bible Numeric
Interlinear Greek and English texts. Reaction to this change prior to
printing has been 100% positive thus far. Do you have any comment? J.*
