Conspiracies Against

Jesus Christ And His Followers

 

By

The Twelve Apostles

 

 

Evil Plans

Apostle Matthew: The Pharisees wanted to kill Lazarus. They were making various plans against Jesus Christ, and also wanted to kill Lazarus.

 

Son of man, why?

The Head: They wanted to prove that Jesus Christ was not able to keep Lazarus alive.

Apostle Matthew: Yourself answered very well. Also, Lazarus knew them very well. Lazarus was a rich man, who had money and wealth. They were working with Lazarus.

 

Apostle Matthew: How?

The Pharisees and Scribes were business men. They sold goods to make gains, for taking care of their various families. They used the gains in buying various lands and other things.

 

They knew that if Lazarus, who is loved by Jesus Christ, continue to live, he will be giving support and provisions to Jesus Christ, because Lazarus shall be helping in supporting the Twelve Apostles, by providing foods and drinks for them.

 

Lazarus made himself a servant of Jesus Christ, one of the servants. But the Pharisees did not want it like that. That was why they wanted to kill Lazarus. Envy and greed were too much. If they succeeded in killing Lazarus, they would have said that it was Jesus Christ that killed him. Lazarus camouflaged himself, before the public, but was working with Jesus Christ.

 

This account should have being written in the bible, but it was not written. It was not only Jesus Christ that was the main target of the Pharisees and Scribes. They were also targeting all the people following Jesus Christ, including The Twelve Apostles.

 

They plaited baskets, made plans, to remove everybody who was supporting Jesus Christ and exalting His position, and to remove all the people who were working for Jesus Christ.

 

The sign started as the plans were moving forward, were being made. The jealousy started at that time. That is why, when Jesus Christ was crucified, fear came upon the Apostles, Disciples and Saints, because they knew that after crucifying the Master, the Pharisees, Scribes and chief priests will face the Apostles, Disciples and Saints. If not for the Holy Spirit and the help of the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven, by now the chief priests, Pharisees and Scribes would be boasting that they have won.

Is it true or false?

The Head: It is true.

 

Apostle Matthew: Jesus Christ knew that these plans were going on. That was why many of the Israelites did not want to follow Jesus Christ, to be among the Disciples and members of Jesus Christ, because of the jealousy, battle and diplomatic manipulations (mgba) that were involved. Many could not withstand such contentions.

 

It was not only the Pharisees and Scribes that were against Jesus Christ. The surrounding Israelites, were also against Jesus Christ and His followers. Likewise, the elders of Israel, and the rich and wealthy people, who did not believe in Jesus Christ, and the people of the neighbouring cities and communities. In every family of ten, if one person followed Jesus Christ, truly, truly and truly, the other nine would battle against the one following Jesus Christ.

Have you seen it?

The Head: Yes.

 

Experience Is The Best Teacher

Apostle Matthew: When things happen, the children of God learn, because experience is the best teacher.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, in this age, the same problems are continuing.

Is it true or false?

The Head: It is true.

 

Apostle Matthew: Ask the ministers of God, whether these things still happen?

The Head: They still happen in many various ways.

 

Apostle Mathew: Son of man, this is for the children of God to know that it was not only Jesus Christ that Satan was working against. The Satan was also working against the followers of Jesus Christ. In this age, Satan is battling against all the people, who follow Jesus Christ and those who trust in God.

Is it true or false?

The Head: It is true.

 

Apostle Matthew: Even so it was with the Apostles, Disciples and Saints. There were various manipulations of various styles, against the Apostles, Disciples and Saints. Efforts were made to disown some of them. Underground manipulations were on to kill some of them. Efforts were made to drive away many of them from the temple of God; to stop their various works; and to mock, condemn them (ikọtọ ha). That was blasphemy. Some of them were maltreated in various ways.

 

Authorization

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, write these accounts, because it is very important.

 

Necessity Of The Accounts Of Past Experiences

Apostle Mathew: This is because, number 1, in this age, the children of God are running away, avoiding various temptations, so that people will not say something, so that their relations shall not blaspheme them, so that their people will not reject them. But let the children of God know that such were in existence at the beginning.

 

Son of man, number 2, for the children of God to know this style is not a new style; for the world not to say that it was only Jesus Christ that Satan is working against.

 

Son of man, what do I mean by that?

The Head: Number 3, it is for the children of God not to stop following God, because of the persecutions they encounter, and not to stop their works.

Apostle Matthew: Yourself answered very well.

Chukwudi: Number 4, it is for the children of God to continue and persevere (jisie ike) in their works, because their predecessors were also persecuted. The present day Christians are not the first and shall not be the last, to be persecuted.

Apostle Matthew: Yourself answered very well.

 

Son of man, number 5, for the children of God to know what they should know. The children of God should know about such happenings, and learn from it (wee muta akọ), and be prepared in whatever work that they are doing.

 

Son of man, also, number 6, all the records removed from the holy book shall be recovered and restored (aga eweghachi ha). The records were intentionally removed, so that humanity shall not know what had happened, and would not know the true and compete accounts, and for the enemies of God to continue to deceive the people that they are deceiving.

 

Number 7, as a sign against falling away. Any person who rises to follow Jesus Christ, if people threaten him, he runs away. If people bark at him, he will run away to safety (ọ gbanaga). And some who are still having patience, are doing so with shame and fear.

 

Have you seen it?

The Head: Yes.

 

Apostle Matthew: And number 8, it is for the children of God to have victory as the first Christians had.
