4. to do for us what we never can do for ourselves.
The Book of Matthew
Our Goal
Though his audience was primarily Jews, Matthew’s message of hope and Redemption speaks to us, as well; a people who need Someone
to do for us what we never can do for ourselves.
We do well to listen
carefully each week
Ang Ating Mithiin. Bagaman ang kanyang pangunahing mambabasa ay mga Judio, ang mensahe ng pag-asa at Katubusan ni Mateo ay nagsasalita sa atin din naman; isang bayan na kelangan ang Isa na gagawin para sa atin ang hinding-hindi natin magagawa para sa sarili ¶ Makakabuti para sa atin ang matamang makinig bawat linggo.

The Seen and the Unseen War
Initial Words
The great controversy between
Christ and Satan forms the unseen background to the world of the seen that we experience every day.
We will examine texts from Matthew that help to reveal these unseen
forces and how they impact our
lives, and choices, here.
Panimulang Salita. Ang malaking tunggalian sa pagitan ni Cristo at Satanas ay binubuo ang di nakikitang likuran sa daigdig ng nakikita na nararanasan natin araw-araw. ¶ Ating sisiyasatin ang mga talata mula sa Mateo na tutulong na ihayag ang mga di nakikitang puwersang ito at kung paano inaapektuhan ng mga ito ang ating buhay, at pagpili, rito.

10. The Seen and the Unseen War
1. The Two Sides
Matthew 11:12 NRSV
“ ‘From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it
by force.’ ”
1. Ang Dalawang Panig. “ ‘Mula sa mga araw ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo hanggang ngayon, ang kaharian ng langit ay sapilitang pinapasok at sinasakop ng mga taong mararahas.’ ” (Mateo 11:12).

11. One of the most challenging texts in all Scripture is Matthew 11:12:
1. The Two Sides
Matthew 11:12
One of the most challenging texts
in all Scripture is Matthew 11:12:
“ ‘The kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it’ ” (NIV).
“The kingdom from heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people have been attacking it” (ISV).
Mateo 11:12. Isa sa pinakamapanghamong talata sa lahat ng Kasulatan ay ang Mateo 11:12: “ ‘Ang kaharian ng langit ay ipinailalim sa karahasan at ang mararahas na tao ay sinasalakay ito’” (NIV). ¶ “Ang kaharian mula sa langit ay buong puwersang umaabante, at ang mararahas na tao ay inaatake ito” (ISV).

12. And the Greek word biastes can
1. The Two Sides
Matthew 11:12
The words that describe the kingdom and the people here can be used in either a positive or negative sense.
The Greek verb basmati can mean either “forcefully advancing” or “suffering violence.”
And the Greek word biastes can
mean “forceful or eager men” or “violent men.”
Ang mga salitang inilalarawan ang kaharian at mga tao rito ay maaaring magamit sa alinmang positibo o negatibong kaisipan. ¶ Ang Griyegong pandiwang basmati ay maaaring mangahulugang alinmang “buong puwersang umaabante” o “dumaranas ng karahasan.” ¶ At ang Griyegong salitang biastes ay maaaring mangahulugang “mapupuwersa o masisigasig na tao” o “mararahas na tao.“

13. So, does this verse mean that the meek and mild kingdom of heaven
1. The Two Sides
Matthew 11:12
So, does this verse mean that the meek and mild kingdom of heaven
is suffering violence, that violent people are attacking it?
Or is the kingdom of heaven forcefully advancing in a positive sense, and the forceful men seizing it are actually followers of Christ?
Kaya, ibig bang sabihin ng talatang ito na ang maamo at mahinahong kaharian ng langit ay nagdurusa ng karahasan, na ang mararahas na tao ay inaatake ito? ¶ O ang kaharian ba ng langit ay buong puwersang umaabante sa isang positibong kaisipan, at ang mapupuwersang tao na sinasakop ito ay sa katunayan ay mga tagasunod ni Cristo?

14. 1. The Two Sides
Matthew 11:12
The most likely interpretation is to apply the most common uses of biazomai (typically positive) and
biastes (typically negative), giving this interpretation: the kingdom of heaven is forcefully advancing, “pushing back the frontiers of darkness”; and while this is happening, “men have been trying to plunder it.”
Ang mas malamang na interpretasyon ay gamitin ang pinakakaraniwang paggamit ng biazomai (tipikal ng positibo) at biastes (tipikal na negatibo), na ibinibigay ang interpretasyong ito: ang kaharian ng langit ay buong puwersang umaabante, “pinauurong ang mga hangganan ng kadiliman”; at samantalang nangyayari ito, “ang mga tao ay nagsisikap na nakawan ito.”

15. 1. The Two Sides
Matthew 11:12
This interpretation captures the bigger picture, that of the struggle between light and darkness, between Christ and Satan, a theme that permeates the Bible.
There is indeed a war, seen and unseen, in which we are all involved, in which we all take a side, in which we all experience every day, regardless of how much we do or do not understand.
Ang interpretasyong ito’y nakukuha ang mas malaking larawan, ang pagpupunyagi sa pagitan ng liwanag at kadiliman, sa pagitan ni Cristo at Satanas, isang tema na kinakalatan ang Biblia. ¶ Talagang may isang gera, nakikita at hindi, kung saan lahat tayo’y kasangkot, kung saan lahat tayo’y pumapanig, kung saan lahat tayo’y nararanasan araw-araw, sa kabila ng kung gaano ang nauunawaan o di-nauunawaan natin.

16. ‘Are you the Coming One, or do we look for another?’ ”
The Seen and the Unseen War
2. The Nasty Side
Matthew 11:2, 3 NKJV
“And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him,
‘Are you the Coming One, or do we look for another?’ ”
2. Ang Mapaminsalang Panig. “Nang marinig ni Juan sa bilangguan ang mga gawa ni Cristo, nagpasabi siya sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga alagad, at sinabi sa kanya, ¶ ‘Ikaw ba iyong darating o maghihintay kami ng iba?’ ” (Mateo 11:2, 3).

17. 2. The Nasty Side
“Warfare Worldview”
Whatever the ultimate meaning of Matthew 11:12, it does help to reveal the reality of the great controversy.
It depicts a struggle, a battle, and—as we know from other Bible texts—this battle is, at the core, the one between Christ and Satan.
“Pandaigdigang-palagay sa Gera.” Anuman ang pangwakas ng kahulugan ng Mateo 11:12, makakatulong ito na ihayag ang realidad ng malaking tunggalian. ¶ Inilalarawan nito ang isang pagpupunyagi, isang labanan, at—gaya ng alam natin mula sa ibang mga talata ng Biblia—ang labanang ito, sa kaibuturan, ang isang sa pagitan ni Cristo at Satanas.

19. The “Warfare Worldview,” is the
2. The Nasty Side
“Warfare Worldview”
The “Warfare Worldview,” is the
idea that there is a battle going on between supernatural powers in the cosmos. This notion is not new to Seventh-day Adventists.
It has been part of our theology from the earliest days of our church; our pioneers held to it even before our church itself was officially formed.
Ang “Pandaigdigang-palagay sa Gera,” ay ang ideya na may nangyayaring labanan sa pagitan ng mga kapangyarihang sobrenatural sa kosmos. Ang isipang ito’y hindi bago sa mga Seventh-day Adventist. ¶ Naging bahagi ito ng ating teolohiya mula sa pinakamaagang araw ng ating iglesya; ang mga unang Adventista ay hinawakan ito bago pa ang iglesya mismo ay opisyal na naporma.

20. 2. The Nasty Side
“Warfare Worldview”
Matthew 11:12, however deep, do reveal the fact that the kingdom of God isn’t going to be established without a struggle, or without a fight.
That fight is the great controversy, and it has been and still is raging. It will until the final destruction of sin, Satan, and the lost.
Ang Mateo 11:12, gaanuman kalalim, ay nagpapahayag ng katotohanang ang kaharian ng Diyos ay hindi maitatatag na walang isang pagpupunyagi, o walang isang labanan. ¶ Ang labanang ‘yon ay ang malaking tunggalian, at ito’y dati at patuloy na rumaragasa. Ganito ito hanggang sa katapusang pagkawasak ng kasalanan, ni Satanas, at ang nawaglit.

21. We can see the reality of the great controversy, and just how nasty it
2. The Nasty Side
“Warfare Worldview”
We can see the reality of the great controversy, and just how nasty it
can become, in the context:
1. John was jailed to stop him.
2. To discourage faith in Jesus—
a. Followers: “Why did Jesus allow John to be jailed?”
b. John: “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” (vs 3).
Makikita natin ang realidad ng malaking tunggalian, at gaano maaaring maging makapinsala, sa konteksto: ¶ 1. Ikinulong si Juan upang pigilan siya. ¶ Upang panghinain ang loob sa pananampalataya kay Jesus— ¶ a. Mga tagasunod: “Bakit pumayag si Jesus na makulong si Juan?” ¶ b. Si Juan: “Ikaw ba iyong darating o maghihintay kami ng iba?” (talatang 3).

22. “The devil, who deceived them,
The Seen and the Unseen War
3. The Winning Side
Revelation 20:10 NKJV
“The devil, who deceived them,
was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and
the false prophet are.
And they will be tormented day
and night forever and ever.”
3. Ang Nagtatagumpay na Panig. “At ang diyablo na dumaya sa kanila ay inihagis sa lawa ng apoy at asupre, na kinaroroonan din naman ng halimaw at ng bulaang propeta; ¶ at sila’y pinahirapan araw at gabi magpakailanpaman” (Apocalipsis 20:10).

23. if they would be winning or losing.
3. The Winning Side
Satan’s Lost Cause
All through history, humans have engaged in warfare. In most of these wars, no one knew the outcome before-hand. People went to battle not knowing
if they would be winning or losing.
In the “Warfare Worldview,” we have one great advantage: we know which side has already won. After the Cross, no question remained about who is the Victor and who can share in the fruits of that victory.
Natalong Ipinaglalaban ni Satanas. Sa buong kasaysayan, ang tao ay nakipaggera. Sa karamihan ng mga gerang ito, walang nakakaalam ng kahihinatnan sa umpisa. Nakipaggera ang tao na hindi nalalaman kung mananalo o matatalo sila. ¶ Sa “Pandaigdigang-palagay sa Gera,” meron tayong malaking kalamangan: alam natin ang panig na panalo na. Matapos ang Krus, walang nananatiling duda tungkol sa kung sino ang Panalo at sino ang makakabahagi sa mga bunga ng tagumpay na ’yon.

24. However complete Christ’s victory,
3. The Winning Side
Satan’s Lost Cause
Satan lost the war on earth. But with hatred and vengeance he’s still seeking all whom he may devour (see 1 Pet 5:8).
However complete Christ’s victory,
the battle still rages, and our only protection is to place ourselves,
mind and body, on the winning side.
And we do that by the choices we make every day.
Natalo si Satanas sa gera sa lupa. Subalit may poot at ganti na patuloy siyang hinahanap ang lahat ng malalapa niya (tingnan ang 1 Pedro 5:8). ¶ Gaanuman kumpleto ang tagumpay ni Cristo, rumaragasa pa rin ang labanan, at ang proteksiyon lang natin ay ilagay ang sarili, isip at katawan, sa nagtatagumpay na panig. At ginagawa natin ‘yon sa mga pagpiling ginagawa natin araw-araw.

25. This is what the whole gospel is
The Seen and the Unseen War
Final Words
When you fall into temptation, even once, you have gone too far to ever get yourself back. That’s exactly why Jesus came, won the victory for us, and then offers His triumph to us.
This is what the whole gospel is
about, Jesus doing for us in the great controversy what we could never do
for ourselves.
Huling Pananalita. Kapag bumagsak ka sa tukso, kahit minsan, sobrang napalayo ka na para maibalik ang sarili. ‘Yan talaga ang dahilan kung bakit dumating si Jesus at kinuha ang tagumpay para sa atin. ¶ Ito ang tungkol sa buong ebanghelyo, ginawa ni Jesus para sa atin sa malaking tunggalian ang hinding-hindi natin magagawa para sa sarili.
