Matt. 22:23-46

Nothing brings bitter rivals together like a mutual encounter with the truth.

Scripture is for CONCEPTION, not for preconception!

Matthew 22:37-40 “37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

John 14:8-9 “8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father’?"

Zechariah 6:13 “It is he who shall build the temple of the LORD and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule on his throne. And there shall be a priest on his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”

Niccolò Machiavelli The Prince - “One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived.”

2 Samuel 7:12 Isaiah 45:1 Daniel 9 (esp 25 & 26) Who’s Son is The Christ? 2 Samuel 7:12 Isaiah 45:1 Daniel 9 (esp 25 & 26)

Jeremiah 23:5 “5 Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.”

Isaiah 11:1 “1 Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit.”

Psalm 110:1 “1 The LORD says to my Lord:“Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.””

1 Cor 2:8 “8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

Michael Heiser - Supernatural “In hindsight we can see the pieces of the messianic profile with more clarity than the disciples could. While there is no verse that describes a divine messianic son of David dying and rising to reverse the curse, those threads run throughout the Old Testament… Intelligent evil– Satan, demons, the lesser gods who rule the nations–do not know everything. They do not have the mind of God, nor can they penetrate it.”
