Luke 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come. But woe unto him, through whom they come!

Luke 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother.(who is your brother?).trespass against you, rebuke him and if he repent, forgive him.

Luke 17:4 And if he trespass against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to you, saying, I repent, you forgive him.

Luke 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith..(?)

Luke 17:6 And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed you might say unto this sycamine tree, Be you plucked up by the root and be you planted in the sea and it should obey you.

Luke 17:7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

Luke 17:8-10 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup and gird thyself and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken and afterward you shalt eat and drink? Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow.(Old English word for 'think').not. So likewise you, when you shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants, we have done that which was our duty to do.

Luke 17:11-13 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, Emmanuel, Master, have mercy on us.

Luke 17:14-17 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks and he was a Samaritan. And Emmanuel answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

Few there be which are thankful and express it:.Matthew 7:14.

Luke 17:18 They are not found that returned to give glory to God, save.(except).this stranger.

It seems that it was only the one who would carry on growing spiritually, whereas the others stopped at getting healed so they could carry on life as they had in the past.

Luke 17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you whole.

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes.(original tense is 'present', which makes it clear he was relating to them the style that the kingdom of God would be coming in at that time).not with observation.(*).

Luke 17:21 Neither will they say, Lo here! or lo there! for behold.(be alert to, take notice, be aware of), the kingdom of God is within you.(and not off in some physical location somewhere).

"All perfection and every divine virtue are hidden within you. Reveal them to the world."....Sai Baba; Hebrews 12:22-24.

The kingdom within is one's feelings and imagination, your soul. Ask yourself how you feel right now. Do you feel up and light and happy? What comes to mind? 

Your soul has power to produce, to manifest what you imagine. The dark side ones,.not having anything much of a soul, cannot envision to produce what they want.and they always want the things of subversion, control, greed, sickness and death for humans. They have been on the evil, the dark side and have given many humans the same type of mind.
   They have no power of their own to produce negative things, so they try to con you into doing that unknowingly, for them, by getting you to think as they do and that's always toward destruction in some way. Steal, kill and destroy have always been their bywords. Your soul is what the evil ones want to use, because their's lacks creative ability that humans have. By getting and keeping you and others, poor, despondent, depressed in heart, fearful, hateful, angry, frustrated and off the track of the good way, etc., because this whole way of evil produces what they want by getting you to use your soul in producing evil pathways. By you seeing and believing the negatives they want to occur with increasing severity, those negatives sweep across our world, powered by those humans accepting them as 'just the way it is'. Don't buy into their con. Know good from bad and right from wrong. Do not compromise. See good, want good for all and leave off any thoughts to the contrary.
   For detailed explanation of this, see at 58:45 minutes at this incredibly interesting truthful explanation by gene Decode: https://rumble.com/v4879nr-dr.-merritt-and-gene-decode-from-tartaria-to-biden-and-everything-in-betwee.html

When you feel hopeless, downtrodden, useless and the like, it contributes to bringing down everything good. How? Envisioning is a powerful tool and can be used for good or for what those of the cabal want and that's more of the evil in life coming upon you and others in society. The cabal's work in conning everyone on Earth has produced.all.the evils on Earth we are in today. Besides sickness, death, corruption, lies and confusion, what else?

You see, because they don't have a soul, they can't create, so they con you into using yours by getting your mind on negative harmful things, because they know you wouldn't do them, but if they can get your mind on them enough, then those negatives will affect your life and the lives of others in society enough to make them happen. And they've been quite successful at it. Look at yourself. How many fears do you carry with you?.Galatians 5:10.

The way out is to stay away from the dark side's negatives by envisioning good. By thanking the true Creator, the Source of all, for what good has already been done, brings oodles more good in life. How.does one do envisioning? And you already know what being thankful means.

Luke 17:22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man and you shall not see it.

They would be looking for who they believed would come and save them.

Luke 17:23 And they shall say to you, See here or see there. Go not after them, nor follow them.

Avoid even being interested in what they do:.2Corinthians 6:17.

Luke 17:24 For as the lightning, that comes out of the one part under heaven, shines unto the other part under heaven, so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

Luke 17:25 But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.

Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe.(Noah), so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

Luke 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe.(Noah).entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all..(*)

Luke 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot, they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded.

They went about their daily lives as we all do today.

Luke 17:29-31 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

What day was this and is it going to be an antitype of today? Be ready to ascend:.Acts 2:20.

Luke 17:32 Remember Lot's wife.

What was this about her?.Genesis 19:12-26.

Luke 17:33 Whosoever shall.('shall', not in original Greek or Hebrew anywhere).seek to save his life shall lose it and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

Luke 17:34-37 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed, the one shall be taken and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other left. And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to praise.(what does this mean?).and not to faint.

Original for word 'faint' is 'not to get weary of'. We get weary of repetitious stuff:.Matthew 6:7.

Luke 18:2-6 Saying, There was in a city a judge which feared.(Old English for 'respect').not God neither regarded man. And there was a widow in that city and she came unto him saying, avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while, but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God nor regard man.(didn't care one way or the other), Yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.

The unjust judge was an arrogant uncaring selfish one who didn't care for people, typical of those of the cabal today, where all they do is in some way, for themselves.

Luke 18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect.(what is this elect?).which cry.(raise a concern for).day and night unto him though he bear long with them?

Barnes Notes: The natural meaning of the verse is."Although he defers long to avenge them and greatly tries their patience, yet he will avenge them.".How? By having one's protections set down in law that he or she can draw upon when threatened, such as by the covid con. Why ask for what God has already made available to us for use?

Romans 12:19 "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath, for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.".Doesn't mean God will do it for you, but a way has been provided:.1Corinthians 10:13. God wants you to do all you wisely and carefully can in standing up for your rights, that is, don't jump in the water before checking if there are large rocks in it that you could hit your head on.

2Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

2Thessalonians 1:6 "Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you."

Why does God bear long or take His time in answering prayers, seemingly leaving us alone? There are examples in the Bible of asking God three times:.Judges 19:22-to-20:48; 2Corinthians 12:8,9.

Luke 18:1 "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint."

Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.(verse 7 above). Nevertheless when the Son of man comes shall he find faith on the Earth?

The faith that one has when he or she knowsthis, that is, will there be people who are trusting the power of the Infinite One in them?; and, when does He come?

Luke 18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous.(*).and despised others.

Luke 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a publican.

Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself.(original for word 'with' is 'with regard to', that is, he prayed about the selfish things he wanted), God, I thank you, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers or even as this publican.

Luke 18:12 I fast.(allows himself to be deprived of some food).twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

Luke 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

Isaiah 66:2.

Luke 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other. For every one that exalts himself shall be abased and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

Why such different natures?

Luke 18:15,16 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them, but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Emmanuel called them unto him and said, Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.

Luke 18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

Luke 18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

Luke 18:19-21 And Emmanuel said unto him, Why call you me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. You know the commandments.(the Old Testament law was still in effect for awhile yet), Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

Luke 18:22 Now when Emmanuel heard these things, he said unto him, Yet you lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute unto the poor and you shall have treasure in heaven and come, follow me.

Comprehend this scripture in the light of.Mark 8:34.

Luke 18:23-26 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful, for he was very rich. And when Emmanuel saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!.(because their life revolves around the things of the low consciousness selfish ego level).For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye.(Matthew 19:24), than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved.(because everyone wants to be rich)?

Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Luke 18:28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all and followed you. And he.(Emmanuel).said unto them,

Luke 18:29.Verily I say unto you, There is no man that has left house or parents or brethren or wife or children for the kingdom of God's sake

Leave father, mother, brothers and wife? How can this be (Matthew 10:37-39) when the Bible also says:.Romans 14:17.

Luke 18:30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time and in the world to come life everlasting.

Luke 18:31-33 Then he took unto him the twelve and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall be mocked and spitefully entreated and spitted on. And they shall scourge him and put him to death and the third day he shall rise again.

Luke 18:34 And they understood none of these things and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

Luke 18:35-41 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging,  And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Emmanuel of Nazareth passed by. And he cried, saying, Emmanuel, you Son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him that he should hold his peace, but he cried so much the more, You Son of David, have mercy on me. And Emmanuel stood and commanded him to be brought unto him and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What will you that I shall do unto you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

Luke 18:42 And Emmanuel said unto him, Receive your sight. Your faith has saved you.

Luke 19:2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans and he was rich.

Luke 19:3-9 And he sought to see Emmanuel who he was and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way. And when Emmanuel came to the place, he looked up and saw him and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must abide at thy house. And he made haste and came down and received him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. And Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Emmanuel said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Original words for 'lost' is 'perish', 'destruction', that is, God's plan is not to punish and destroy, but rather, to turn around people who are on a destructive path:.John 3:17.

Luke 19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh.(near).to Jerusalem and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 

Luke 19:12-14 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten pounds and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

Jeremiah 44:16,17.

Luke 19:15,16 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. Then came the first, saying, Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.

Luke 19:17 And he said unto him, Well done good servant, because you have been faithful in a very little, have you authority over ten cities..(*)

Luke 19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.

Luke 19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be you also over five cities.

Luke 19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin.

This guy didn't do anything with it:.Matthew 25:14-29.

Luke 19:21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man, you take up that you laid not down and reap that which you did not sow.

Was sure that he was an unfair individual, just like he himself no doubt was.

Luke 19:22 And he said unto him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you.(the law of reap what you sow was set up before humanity; why?), you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down and reaping that I did not sow.

Luke 19:23 Wherefore then gave you not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

He could have done something, but didn't.

Leviticus 25:35.

Luke 19:24,25 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound and give it to him that has ten pounds. And they said unto him, Lord, he has ten pounds.

Luke 19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which has.(Mark 11:24), is given.(receives more:.Luke 8:18).and from him that has not even that he has.(in other words, if you've done nothing with it, it's like you didn't have it in the first place), is taken away from him.

Meaning, if you aren't in higher consciousness, your ego will eventually make sure you lose in life, because high consciousness is necessary to successfully even begin using this secret. Be smart, decide for a higher consciousness.

Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither and slay them before me.

Luke 19:28-39 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, Saying, Go you into the village over against you, in the which at your entering you shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat. Loose him and bring him hither. And if any man ask you, Why do you loose him? thus shall you say unto him, Because the Lord has need of him.  And they that were sent went their way and found even as he had said unto them. And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose you the colt? And they said, The Lord has need of him. And they brought him to Emmanuel and they cast their garments upon the colt and they set Emmanuel thereon. And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.(many were excited about Emmanuel's coming to Jerusalem and went before him, throwing some of their garments on the ground to indicate the pathway to take, as there were pathways into the city of Jerusalem, some a longer ride). And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke your disciples.

Luke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones.(*).would immediately cry out.

Our Creator could have chosen rocks but he chose humanity. God wants to share all he is with them. Why?.1Corinthians 2:9.

Matthew 3:9; Habakkuk 2:11.

Meaning, from the Fourfold Gospel: the occasion of the great King's visit to his city was so momentous that, if man withheld his praise, inanimate nature would lend its acclamations.

Luke 19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city and wept over it,

Luke 19:42 Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day.(Hebrews 3:7-19), the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.

Secrets of the high consciousness way cannot be comprehended deeply by those of ordinary consciousness (who are hurtful, unhelpful, greedy and selfish) in such a way as to take an individual into higher consciousness. The heart has to change before the life an individual leads does.

Luke 19:43,44 For the days shall come upon you that your enemies cast a trench about you and compass you round and keep you in on every side, And shall lay you even with the ground and your children within you and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another, because you knew not the time of your visitation.

Luke 19: 45,46 And he went into the temple and began to cast out them that sold therein and them that bought; Saying unto them, It is written.(Isaiah 56:7; Jeremiah 7:11), My house is the house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.

Luke 19:47,48 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people.(like a mayor).sought to destroy him.(those in the greed clique wanted him gone), And could not find what they might do, for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

The people liked him. The ruling elite conspired to destroy him, as they viewed Him as a threat to their evil empire.
