The Case Of Adultery

Against Mary Magdalene

By

The Twelve Apostles

The Woman Caught In Adultery
But in the morning when the sun had scarcely risen, Jesus came again, and many people came to see Him in the temple courts, and He sat down and taught the multitudes. The Pharisees and scribes were still alert to find a cause whereby they might condemn Him by the words He spoke.
The officers had taken in the very act of crime, a courtesan. As Jesus taught, they brought this woman and set her in the midst and said, “Rabboni (teacher), this vile woman has been taken in adultery. The law of Moses says that such as she shall die, be stoned to death; what do you say should be her punishment?”

And Jesus stooped and made a figure on the ground and in it placed a soul, and then He sat in silent thought. And when the priests demanded that He speak, He said, “Let him who has no sin stand forth and be the first to cast a stone at her.”
And then He closed His eyes, and not a word was said. When He arose and saw the woman all alone He said,. “Where are the men who brought you here? They who accused?”
The woman said, “They all are gone; no one was here who could condemn.”
And Jesus said, “And I condemn you not; go on your way in peace, and sin no more.”

After the days of the Feast Of Tabernacles, during which Jesus made known that He is the bread of life, the multitudes went to their various homes, but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning He came again to the temple; all the people came to Him, and He sat down and taught them.

The Scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?” This they said to test Him, that they might have some charge to bring against Him. Jesus bent down and wrote with His finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask Him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” And once more He bent down and wrote with His finger on the ground. But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before Him. Jesus looked up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again.” John 8:1-11

This Mary was from the city of Magdala, and therefore, was called Mary Magdalene.

Judgment Of Mary Magdalene

Apostle Matthew: The first time Jesus wrote on the ground, He wrote Mary Magdalene.

Why did Jesus write Mary Magdalene first?

The Head: It was because the case was about Mary Magdalene. At that time, the Angels brought down her file from heaven.

Apostle Matthew: The second time, Jesus wrote down the names of all the Pharisees and Sadducees and all the people that wanted to stone her to death.

Why did Jesus write their names?

The Head: They brought a case to Him, so all of them shall be judged to know whether what they are saying is true or false.

Apostle Matthew: The third time, Jesus wrote the names of the various evil spirits.

Why did Jesus wrote the names of all of the evil spirits?

The Head: It was because all of them, Mary Magdalene and the accusers, needed to be delivered.

Apostle Matthew: That was where the judgment started.

The Head: Thanks be to God.

Apostle Matthew: Do you know that a person is judged here on earth?

The Head: It is true.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, that was when judgment started.

Number 1 is that Mary Magdalene committed adultery.

But do you know how many times she did so?

The Head: It was not mentioned in the bible.

Apostle Matthew: She was caught on that one occasion.

If somebody were caught in adultery what shall be done to the person?

The Head: All the incidences shall be judged to know whether the person shall be saved or not.

Apostle Matthew: Number 1 is the judgment of Mary Magdalene, it was not once that she committed adultery. But Jesus knew all the occurrences.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Jesus knew all the occurrences that were recorded in her own file.

On the second time, Jesus wrote down all the accusers and all the bad things that they were doing.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Were they not married?

The Head: They were married.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, did they not begot children?

The Head: They begot children.

Apostle Matthew: Then, why are they bringing Mary Magdalene to judgment?

The Head: They were doing so, according to their own wisdom and according to the leadership of men as at that time, and by the righteousness of man, because they were using the righteousness of man in judging, leaving out the righteousness of God.

Apostle Matthew: Mary Magdalene and the evil spirits came to the judgment.

Why did the evil spirits come to the judgment?

The Head: The evil spirits wanted to win the case and drag Mary Magdalene to hell fire.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, have you seen that what Jesus did was right?

The Head: But, in the eyes of the Pharisees and Sadducees, according to their understanding…

Apostle Matthew: Ourselves there, The Twelve Apostles, there was nothing that we understood, and there was nothing that we … knew. But, we knew that something special happened on that day.

The Head: It is true.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, do you see that walking in spirit is necessary?

The Head: Yes.

Explanation

If The Twelve Apostles understood nothing on that day, how come that Apostle Matthew is now narrating what happened?

The Twelve Apostles learnt many things after the Holy Spirit came upon them on the Pentecost Day. Also, they understood many things after they entered heaven. All the above explanations were being given by The Twelve Apostles, here in DivineBase Ministry. Apostle Matthew was speaking as the spokesman, as at the time these explanations were being given.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, the bible authors said that Jesus wrote on the ground, two times only. According to the bible, the first time, Jesus asked the crowd, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7

That was not the first time. That was the second time. Then, the third time, Jesus wrote the names of the evil spirits.

In the first one, Jesus judged Mary Magdalene and held the judgment in spirit. Jesus deleted her name from the Book Of Death and wrote it in the Book Of Repentance. And then, Jesus judged the Pharisees.

Apostle Matthew: What saved the Pharisees?

The Head: What saved them was that they went away, dispersed, one by one. If they had not dispersed, their names would have been written in the Book Of Death.

Apostle Matthew: When a person is being judged, what saves the person?

The Head: One is truth. The second one is if the person were quick to withdraw the case – the Pharisees and Sadducees withdrew the case and from the case by leaving the judgment, one by one.

Apostle Matthew: When Jesus was judging the agents of darkness, why … should the evil spirits be in the judgment?

The Head: Lord, let us know, because it is the agents of darkness that deceive people into doing what is wrong. Themselves are guilty. They are not supposed to be in the judgment.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, themselves are in judgment.

The Head: They stand in judgment. But, they should not stand in judgment, because it is themselves that go and deceive people. After misleading people, themselves are quick, they are the first to go and report to God Almighty.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, …

Nkechi: They are not supposed to appear before the Jesus, because they are guilty, because they mislead people, and then turn round to report and judge.

Apostle Matthew: It is not true – they should be in the judgment, because they have to present a file, the record of the sins committed by the accused.

Reasons For Judgment

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, why did they bring Mary Magdalene before Jesus?

Who were the people that brought her to Jesus?

The Head: It was the Israelites or the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Apostle Matthew: Why did they bring her to Jesus?

The Head: They wanted to tempt Jesus, by His responses on the case, so that they can accuse Jesus of breaking the law.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, yourself answered correctly. They did not bring Mary Magdalene because of righteousness. It was a temptation. It was a temptation. They wanted to know what Jesus would say, whether Jesus would say what is good or what is bad. The major point why they brought Mary Magdalene to Jesus, was not for Jesus to say what should be done. They expected Jesus to say what themselves wanted.

The Head: Jesus made it clear that stoning her was not the solution. The important thing was to make her repent... If they stoned her to death, she would reincarnate and the same marine possession, spirit of adultery, will start manifesting in her life again, if deliverance was not performed on her.

Who?

The Head: Mary Magdalene.

Apostle Matthew: Is it deliverance by prayer or what?

The Head: There are deliverances of various types. There is deliverance by prayer, by advice, by warning, by flogging and by spiritual works.

Apostle Matthew: What condition…?

Number 1, Jesus performed deliverance by mercy. Mary Magdalene knew that she was at the point of death. The mercy extended to her made her have the spirit of repentance. If you are warning somebody against doing something, and he does that, when he is at the point of death because of what he has done and should be killed, if you eventually set the person free, it will be very hard for the person to try the same offence again.

First

Number Of Times Of Writing

Apostle Matthew: Myself want to ask you congregation.

It was reported that Jesus was writing with His finger on the ground?

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Who would explain what that meant?

The Head: St Paul De Evangelist explained it. He said that Jesus was writing the names of the people who brought Mary Magdalene to Jesus. Jesus was writing each person’s name and the person he or she had committed adultery in the past with. Therefore, the people dismissed themselves, one by one.

Apostle Matthew: How many times did Jesus write on the ground?

The Head: The first writing was mentioned, and later the second writing was mentioned.

Apostle Matthew: Is it complete?

The Head: When Jesus wrote down, it does not mean once. He bent down and wrote several times. And later, He bent down and wrote again.

So, how many times did Jesus wrote on the ground?

…

The Head: Let the Lord make us to know, because the people who were there are not here present. They may not remember again what happened on that day.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, the record is not complete. Jesus wrote on the ground three times.

The Head: Thanks be to God.

Why Evil Spirits Come To Judgment

Apostle Matthew: Why did the evil spirits come to the judgment?

The Head: Why they came to judgment? They came, so that if the accused if found guilty, they will drag away the person into the hell fire.

Apostle Matthew: Why do you say that they should not come to judgment?

The Head: Why they should not come to judgment?

I mean that they should not be there saying that somebody committed a sin.

Apostle Matthew: They were looking for customers, and they saw a place where judgment was being held. That was an opportunity. And you are saying that they should not come to the judgment…

All the sins a person has committed are recorded in the book of the evil spirits. And all the good things that a person has done are recorded in God’s book. That is why at judgment, the evil spirits present their files, and the Angels of God shall present their one files from heaven.

Number 1 aim is to convert, win souls, because it is souls that the evil spirits want.

Number 2, for themselves to become winners. Because God the Father created themselves. They shall … not have victory. Therefore, they are striving to overcome. The evil spirits are victorious over the disobedient people, the unrepentant sinners…

Apostle Matthew: What did the evil spirits do?

The Head: When they saw that Jesus had used His blood to save Mary Magdalene, they became weak, defeated.

Apostle Matthew: All the accusers, where did they go to?

The Head: Before the judgment, they came from various places. And after the judgment, everybody went back to the place he came from or to the work that he was doing.

Wisdom In Bowing Down To God

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, the training to be given to the children of God are many. Among the first, the second group and the third group, who were most obedient?

…

Mary Magdalene was the first to be judged. The second group were the Pharisees and Sadducees. And then, the third group, the evil spirits were judged.

Apostle Matthew: Who among the three sets were the wisest?

The wisest group were the evil spirits. The second best was Mary Magdalene. The last were the Pharisees and Sadducees. The reason was that after the judgment, the evil spirits went into the spirit and saw how things went – the saw all proceedings of the judgment - and themselves bowed down to God Almighty. The Pharisees and Sadducees did not understand anything. They did not know anything. They just meandered away, one by one. And there was no lesson themselves learnt from the incident. Mary Magdalene herself understood what happened, and she saw what happened. But herself did not bow down to God.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, that is why the Angels that come in the midst of humanity do tell you children of God to bow down to God the Father.

Son of man, you children of God do not understand the meaning of bowing down to God the Father in heaven.

The Head: Let the Lord make us to understand more than we already know.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, number 1, when you bow down to God, it is very important. That is one. Son of man, if you give something to somebody, what do you expect?

The Head: The person supposed to give thanks, to show appreciation for what has being done for him, to show that what was done for him is pleasing to himself.

Apostle Matthew: The evil spirits bowed down to God to show that Jesus delivered a righteous, just, judgment. They know what is good and what is wrong. Themselves were fighting for the wrong to win. If the children of God were not watchful, the evil spirits would win. Son of man, that was why they bowed down to God the Father.

The Head: Thanks be to God.

Apostle Matthew: Number 2, another point, is that the Pharisees and Sadducees should have done what Mary Magdalene and the evil spirits did – they should have bowed down to God or learnt lesson as Mary Magdalene did. But they did not do so. It showed that they have not yet grown in spirit. They have not grown to the level of seeing God face to face.

Son of man, the Pharisees and Sadducees, themselves, are they good examples?

The Head: No.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, number 3, bowing down to God is very important, because it pleases God Almighty. When you bow down to God Almighty, all your problems and burdens are laid down before God. It shows that God the Father, only Him, knows all things. By so doing, you are saying to God, “Yourself knows my going out and my coming in.”

Son of man, bowing down also means that whatever God does is good and righteous. That is what it means. That is point number 4.

Reasons For The Judgment

The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?” This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. John 8:3-6

Apostle Matthew: Themselves did not bring the case to Jesus, because Jesus is the Most High God. They brought the case out of ticklishness. They wanted to know what Jesus would say. To trap Jesus.

In the first writing, Jesus judged the case of Mary Magdalene in spirit and deleted her name from the book of death and wrote it in the book of repentance.

Son of man, they did not bring the case to Jesus because Jesus is the FirstSon of God. Themselves brought the case just to know what Jesus would say. It was not because Jesus is the greatest. It was in ticklishness that they brought the case to Jesus.

The Importance Of Coming Close To Jesus

Apostle Matthew: When the evil spirits and Pharisees had gone away, only Jesus and Mary Magdalene were left there.

Apostle Matthew: Why were only Jesus and Mary Magdalene left there?

The Head: The accusers have all gone.

Apostle Matthew: What does that mean?

The Head: It showed that salvation has come. If Mary Magdalene were not wise, she would have gone when the others were leaving. Again, at that time she was standing there before Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit was entering her body.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, yourself answered very well.

Son of man, another thing it shows is that everybody in this world should be making efforts to come close to Jesus. Somebody like Mary Magdalene was staying with Jesus. It shows that there is no children of God that cannot stay with Jesus. Son of man, if the children of God can know what God has done for them, themselves shall be bowing down to God, always.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Themselves should be quick to listen and to do all that God the Father tells them. But themselves are ignorant. They do not know that at the time they are committing sins, and after committing sins, and they repent and come close to Jesus. It is when they repent and follow Jesus, that is the time the Angels wipe away, delete, all their sins.

Present At The Judgment

Jesus looked up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again.” John 8:10-11

Son of man, the judgment of Jesus on this world, over humanity, is that when Jesus is judging one person, the Angels are there present. God the Father, God the FirstSon and God the Holy Spirit are there present. And the evil spirits are there present. That was why Jesus was asking Mary Magdalene, “Has any one condemned you? The heaven has not condemned you and the earth has not condemned you.”

Son of man, is that a thing for great rejoicing or not?

The Head: It is a thing of great joy, because salvation has been obtained.

Very Important Points

1. Killing many Magdalene would not have solved the problem of her committing adultery. All that was necessary was deliverances from the seven demons that possessed her. Jesus performed the deliverance and Mary Magdalene became a saint.

2. If the people had killed Mary Magdalene, she will reincarnate in the future with the same problem still repeating.

3. Do not be quick to condemn people or sentence them to prison terms, which eventually worsen the situations.

4. Look for simple and friendly solutions that are permanent. For example, a police man was called to come and arrest a woman who stole five eggs. The police officer came and interviewed the woman, and found out that the woman was looking for something to feed her children. He left everything about the law, and told the woman to collect as many things as she needed from the supermarket. The police man paid for the materials and left the woman to go home. Why are so many people not as wise as this police officer?

5. What the human eye sees is quite different, and may be contradictory, to what the spiritual eye sees.

6. Always apply wisdom, caution and considerations.
