In Matt 26:31-35, when Jesus told his disciples that they would be offended because of him, Jesus knew by the scripture and by his understanding what they would do. The Scripture he quoted is Zech 13:7. Wee see his understanding of men in Jn 2:24-25 “…he knew all men, And...
In Ezek 22:1-12, Ezekiel pronounces the abominations going on in Jerusalem, the bloody city. And he proclaims that her time has come and her days have drawn near to be punished. In v.2, the Lord asks, “Wilt thou judge the bloody city? Shew her all her abominations”. This is just...

Spiritual Attacks Spiritual attacks from the devil often follow spiritual highs with the Lord. We see this with the baptism of Jesus Christ. In Jn 1:29-34, we see why John baptized the men of Israel and why he baptized Jesus. John preached the baptism of repentance for the remission of...
