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.
