Paying Taxes to Caesar

The parable focuses on the issue of giving to God what he asks. The net is this: Don’t give it to God? Then give it to Caesar. The historical event is either the Assyrian Invasion (as charted here) in 10274-76 AA or perhaps the Babylonian invasion in 10390 AA.

The city of Rome was founded as close as can be measured to the time of the Assyrian. This was, of course, the seat of Caesar and was the time in history when taxes were first paid to Caesar.

Curiously, the oldest Roman calendar was exactly 10/12ths of the Bible’s calendar, suggesting strongly the northerners took their calendar to Rome at this date.

Matthew (P) Mark (P) Luke (P)

41 Matthew 22:15-22
15Then the Pharisees went away and took counsel how to trap him by a word.
16So they sent to him their disciples, together with the Herodians, and they said to him, Teacher, we know that you are true, and you teach the way of god justly; and you do not favor any man, for you do not discriminate between men.
17Therefore tell us what you think? Is it lawful to pay headtax to caesar or not?
18But Jesus knew their evil, and said, Why do you tempt me? Hypocrites!
19Show me the headtax denarius. And they brought to him a denarius.
20And Jesus said to them, Whose image and inscription is this?
21They said, caesar's. He said to them, Give therefore to caesar what is caesar's, and to god what is god's.
22And when they heard it, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.

42 Mark 12:13-17
13And they sent to him some men of the scribes and of the Herodians, that they might trap him by a word.
14They came and asked him, Master, we know that you are true and you do not favor any man; for you are impartial, and you teach the way of god in truth. Is it lawful to give headtax to caesar or not?
15Will we give or will we not give? But he knew their scheme, and said to them, Why do you tempt me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
16And they brought it to him. He said to them, Whose is this image and inscription? They said, Caesar's.
17Jesus said to them, Give to caesar what is caesar's and to god what is god's. And they were amazed at him.

43 Luke 20:20-26
20So they sent spies disguised as righteous men to ensnare him by a word, and to deliver him to the judge and then to the authority of the governor.
21So they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that you speak and teach truthfully, and you do not discriminate between men, but you teach the way of god justly.
22Is it lawful for us to pay headtax to caesar or not?
23But he understood their craftiness and said, Why do you tempt me?
24Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it? They said, caesar's.
25Jesus said to them, Therefore give to caesar, what is caesar's and to god, what is god's.
26And they were not able to get a word from him before the people; and they were amazed at his answer, and kept silent.

Jesus asked about 7 brothers

The question itself echos the "7 times" from Leviticus 26 and is the heart of the chronology of the Mosaic covenant. The structure of this parable indicates how the covenant does not generate sons. It also points out how those outside of this covenant are still alive. It is also a chronological reference to end of the age that begins with a 2550 year period at the time of Jehoiakim in Jerusalem. Charted here at 10390 AA.

It is important that this parable begins with a reference to those who don’t think there is a resurrection. This is because the time line of this parable points generally to the era of the resurrection itself.

Matthew (P) Mark (P) Luke (P)

41 Matthew 22:23-33
23That same day, the Sadducees came and said to him, There is no resurrection of the dead; and they asked him,
24and said to him, Teacher, Moses has told us, If a man die without sons, let his brother take his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.
25Now there were 7 brothers with us; the 1st married and died, and because he had no sons, he left his wife to his brother.
26Likewise, the 2nd and 3rd, up to the 7th.
27And after all of them, the woman also died.
28Therefore at the resurrection to which of these 7 will she be a wife? For they all married her.


29Jesus answered, and said to them, You err, because you do not understand the scriptures nor the power of god.
30For at the resurrection of the dead, they neither marry women, nor are women given to men in marriage, but they are like the angels of god in the skies.
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by god saying,
32I am the god of Abraham, the god of Isaac, the god of Jacob? (2:3:6) God is not the god of the dead, but of the living.
33And when the people heard it, they were amazed at his teaching.

42 Mark 12:18-27
18Then the Sadducees came to him, those who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him saying,
19Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother die and leave a wife and leave no sons, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
20Now there were 7 brothers; the 1st took a wife and died, and left no offspring.
21Then the 2nd married her, and he died; he also left no offspring; and likewise, the 3rd.
22So all 7 of them married her, and left no offspring. And after them all, the woman also died.
23Therefore, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be, for all 7 had married her?


24Jesus said to them, Is your err because you do not understand the scriptures or because you do not understand the power of god?
25For when they rise from the dead, men neither marry women, nor are women given in marriage to men; but they are like the angels in the skies.
26Now concerning the rising of the dead, have you not read in the book of Moses, how god said to him from the bush, I am the god of Abraham and the god of Isaac and the god of Jacob? (2:3:6)
27Yet, he was not the god of the dead, but of the living. You therefore greatly err.

43 Luke 20:27-40
27Then came to him some of the men of the Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, and they asked him,
28Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother should die, and he has a wife without sons, let his brother take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
29Now there were 7 brothers; the 1st married and died without sons.
30The 2nd married his wife, and died without sons.
31And the 3rd one married her again; and likewise, the 7 of them; and they died, leaving no sons.
32And at last, the woman died also.
33Therefore, at the resurrection, to which 1 of them will she be a wife? For 7 of them married her.


34Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry women, and women are given to men in marriage.
35But those who are worthy of the other world and the resurrection from the dead, neither take women in marriage, nor are women given in marriage to them.
36For they cannot die again, because they are like angels; and they are sons of god, because they are sons of the resurrection.
37Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, even Moses pointed it out, for he referred to it at the bush saying, Master, god of Abraham and the god of Isaac and the god of Jacob. (2:3:6)
38God is not the god of the dead, but of the living; for to him all live.
39And some of the men of the scribes answered, saying to him, Well said, teacher.
40And they did not dare again question him concerning anything.

Greatest Commandment

Another parable matching the time of the Babylonian exile.

Matthew (P) Mark (P)

41 Matthew 22:34-23:0
34But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.
35And 1 of them, who knew the law, asked him, testing him,
36Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
37Jesus said to him, Love master your god with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your power, and with all your mind. (5:6:5)
38This is the greatest and the 1st commandment.
39And the 2nd is like it, Love your neighbor as yourself. (3:19:18)
40On these 2 commandments hang the law and the prophets.


41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42and he said, What do you say concerning this anointed? Whose son is he? They said to him, the son of David.
43He said to them, How is it, then, that David, through the spirit, calls him master? For he said,
44Master said to my master, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet. (26:110:1)
45If David, then, calls him master, how can he be his son?
46And no man was able to answer him, and from that day, no man dared to question him.

42 Mark 12:28-13:0
28And 1 of the scribes came near and heard them debating, and he saw that he gave them a good answer. So he asked him, Which is the 1st commandment of all?
29Jesus said to him, The 1st of all commandments is, Hear, Israel, master god is 1 master;
30and you must love master god with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your might; (5:6:4) this is the 1st commandment.
31And the 2nd is like it, You must love your neighbor as yourself. (3:19:18) There are no other commandments greater than these.
32The scribe said to him, Well, teacher, you have said the truth, that he is 1, and there is no other besides him;
33and that a man should love him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the might, and love his neighbor as himself; this is far more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34When Jesus saw that he replied wisely, he answered, saying to him, You are not far from the kingdom of god. And no man dared again to question him.


35And Jesus answered, saying as he taught in the temple, How do the scribes say that this anointed is the son of David?
36For David himself said through the holy spirit, Master said to my master, Sit on my right hand until I put your enemies as a stool under your feet. (26:110:1)
37Now David himself calls him my master, so how can he be his son? And all the people heard him with pleasure.


38And in his teaching, he said to them, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes and love to be saluted in the streets,
39and take the front seats in the synagogues and the head places at banquets;
40those who embezzle the property of widows, under pretense of making long prayers. They will receive greater judgment.


41And when Jesus sat in front of the treasury, he watched how the people cast their alms into the treasury; and many rich men were casting in a great deal.
42And a poor widow came, and she cast in 2 coins, which are a few pennies.
43And Jesus called his disciples and said to them, Truly, I say to you, that this poor widow has cast into the treasury more than all the men who are casting;
44for all of them cast in of their abundance; but she, of her poverty, cast everything she had, even all of her possessions.

Son Of David

Another parable matching the time of the Babylonian exile. This parable deals with the moving of the throne of David from Jerusalem to another place for safe keeping until it can be turned over to Jesus at his second coming. Understanding this depends heavily on understanding the Davidic covenant and where it is today. Jeremiah appears to have been the agent to move the royal house out of Jerusalem.

Mark (P) Luke (P)

42 Mark 12:35-37
35And Jesus answered, saying as he taught in the temple, How do the scribes say that this anointed is the son of David?
36For David himself said through the holy spirit, Master said to my master, Sit on my right hand until I put your enemies as a stool under your feet. (26:110:1)
37Now David himself calls him my master, so how can he be his son? And all the people heard him with pleasure.

43 Luke 20:41-44
41And he said to them, How can the scribes say, concerning this anointed, that he is the son of David?
42Yet, David said in the book of Psalms, Master said to my master, Sit at my right hand,
43until I put down your enemies under your feet. (26:110:1)
44Therefore if David calls him my master, how then can he be his son?

Beware the Scribes

Another parable matching the time of the Babylonian exile. This parable introduces the idea of the "widow" a picture of the remnant at Jerusalem who had lost most of the rest of the tribes to the Assyrians. These are the people the scribes of Zedekiah’s day were devouring.

The 7 woes directly reflects the promise in Leviticus 26 to punish the nation for 7 times if they broke the law.

These 7 woes spread out across time. Each woe is 360 years after the previous. The last woe is longer, 390 years. It ends with various events in the modern era including the Jewish return to modern Israel.

Matthew (P) Mark (P) Luke (P)

41 Matthew 23:1-12
1Then Jesus spoke with the people and with his disciples.
2And he said to them, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on the chair of Moses.
3Therefore what they tell you to obey, obey and do it, you should do what they say, not what they do.
4And they bind heavy burdens, and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to touch them, even with their finger.
5And all their works they do, just to be seen by men; for they widen the fringes of their garments, and they lengthen the ends of their robes,
6and they like the chief places at feasts, and the front seats in the synagogues,
7and the greetings in the streets, and to be called by men, rabbi.
8But you do not be called, rabbi; for 1 is your master, and you are all brothers.
9And call no one on land, father, for 1 is your father in the skies.
10Nor be called leaders, for 1 is your leader, an anointed.
11But he who is great among you, will be your servant.
12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled; and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Woe 1:

41 Matthew 23:13
13Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. You embezzle the property of widows, with the pretense that you make long prayers; because of this, you will receive a greater judgment.

Woe 2:

41 Matthew 23:14
14Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. You have shut off the kingdom of the skies against men; for you do not enter into it yourselves, and do not permit those who would enter.

Woe 3:

41 Matthew 23:15
15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. You traverse sea and land to make 1 proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice the son of hell than yourselves.

Woe 3 (continued):

41 Matthew 23:16-22
16Woe to you, blind guides, for you say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold which is in the temple, he is guilty.
17Fools and blind men. Which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18And whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the offering that is on it, he is guilty.
19Fools and blind men. Which is greater, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?
20Therefore he who swears by the altar, he swears by it and by everything that is on it.
21And whoever swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who lives in it.
22And he who swears by the skies, swears by the throne of god, and by him who sits on it.

Woe 4:

41 Matthew 23:23-24
23Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees. Hypocrites. You take tithes on mint, dill, and cummin, and you have overlooked the more important matters of the law, such as justice, mercy, and trustworthiness. These were necessary for you to have done, and the same by no means to have left undone.
24Blind guides, who strain at gnats and swallow camels.

Woe 5:

41 Matthew 23:25-26
25Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees. Hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside are full of extortion and iniquity.
26Blind Pharisees. First clean the inside of the cup and the dish, so that their outside may also be clean.

Woe 6:

41 Matthew 23:27-28
27Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees. Hypocrites! You are like tombs painted white, which look beautiful from the outside, but inside are full of dead bones and all kinds of corruption.
28Even so, from the outside you appear to men to be righteous, but inside you are full of iniquity and hypocrisy.

Woe 7:

41 Matthew 23:29-36
29Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees. Hypocrites! You build the tombs of the prophets, and you decorate the graves of the righteous;
30and you say, If we had been living in the days of our forefathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31Now you testify concerning yourselves, that you are the sons of those who killed the prophets.
32You also fill up the measure of your fathers.
33Serpents, and seed of scorpions, how can you flee from the judgment of hell?
34Because of this, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some you will scourge in your synagogues, and pursue from city to city;
35so that all the blood of the righteous shed on the ground may come on you, from the blood of Abel the righteous, down to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berekiah, who you killed between the temple and the altar.
36Truly I say to you, all of these things will come on this generation.

Laments Jerusalem:

41 Matthew 23:37-24:0
37Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murderess of the prophets, and stoner of those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather together your sons, just as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, yet you would not.
38Look, your house will be left to you desolate.
39For I say to you, from now you will not see me until you say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of master. (26:118:26)

42 Mark 12:38-40
38And in his teaching, he said to them, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes and love to be saluted in the streets,
39and take the front seats in the synagogues and the head places at banquets;
40those who embezzle the property of widows, under pretense of making long prayers. They will receive greater judgment.

43 Luke 20:45-21:0
45And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,
46Beware of the scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love to be greeted in the streets, and take the chief seats in the synagogues and the high places at the banquets,
47those who embezzle the property of widows with the pretense that they make long prayers; they will receive a greater judgment.

Widow’s Two Mites

Another parable matching the time of the Babylonian exile. In this parable the "two coins" are the two small parts of two of the main tribes who had remained back at Jerusalem after the Assyrians. They were widows, having lost their husband, the northern kingdom, as well as parts of their own tribes to the Assyrians. They were moved to Babylon following a metaphor seed in Daniel chapter 1: The gold, the precious vessels, were taken from the temple (ie: Jerusalem) and deposited in Babylonia, as part of Nebuchadnezzar’s treasury. Remain there to this day.

Mark (P) Luke (P)

42 Mark 12:41-13:1
41And when Jesus sat in front of the treasury, he watched how the people cast their alms into the treasury; and many rich men were casting in a great deal.
42And a poor widow came, and she cast in 2 coins, which are a few pennies.
43And Jesus called his disciples and said to them, Truly, I say to you, that this poor widow has cast into the treasury more than all the men who are casting;
44for all of them cast in of their abundance; but she, of her poverty, cast everything she had, even all of her possessions.


1When Jesus went out of the temple, 1 of his disciples said to him, Teacher, look, look at those stones and those buildings.

43 Luke 21:1-4
1Jesus then looked at the rich men who were casting their offerings into the treasury.
2And he also saw a poor widow, who cast in 2 pennies.
3And he said, Truly, I say to you, that this poor widow has cast in more than every man.
4For all these cast into the house the offerings of god from their abundance; but she, out of her poverty, has cast in everything she has earned.

Destruction of the Temple

Another parable matching the time of the Babylonian exile. This parable matches the destruction of Solomon’s Temple by the Babylonians in 10409 AA.

Matthew (P) Mark (P) Luke (P)

41 Matthew 24:1-2
1And Jesus went out of the temple to go away; and his disciples came to him, and were showing him the building of the temple.
2But he said to them, Look, do you not see all of these? Truly I say to you, not a stone will be left here on a stone, that will not be torn down.

42 Mark 13:1-2
1When Jesus went out of the temple, 1 of his disciples said to him, Teacher, look, look at those stones and those buildings.
2Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? Not a stone will be left here on another stone, which will not be torn down.

43 Luke 21:5-6
5While some men were talking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and gift offerings, Jesus said to them,
6These things which you see will be destroyed; the days will come when not a stone will be left on a stone, which will not be torn down.

Signs of the End of the Age

Another parable matching the time of the Babylonian exile. This parable matches the destruction of Solomon’s temple to the return of Jesus "7 times" later. (He has already introduced the prophetic time period with the 7 brothers as mentioned above.) Here Jesus includes several additional stories that match a "generation" (80 years) beginning with the return to Jerusalem in 1948. (Or perhaps, recovery of Temple Mount in 1967 and then 70 or 60 years. Discussion is beyond the scope of this table.)

It is a curious fact that the Bible always encodes the timing of Jesus’ return when passages suggest it cannot be known. The key is always to watch the text itself.

Matthew (P) Mark (P) Luke (P)

41 Matthew 24:3-44
3While Jesus sat on the mount of Olives, his disciples came talking among themselves, and they said to him, Tell us when these things will happen, and what is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?
4Jesus answered and said to them, Be careful that no man deceives you.
5For many will come in my name, and say, I am an anointed, and they will deceive many.
6You are bound to hear of revolutions and rumors of wars; look out and do not be disturbed; for all of these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues and earthquakes, in different places.
8But all these things are just the beginning of travail.


9Then they will deliver you to be oppressed, and they will kill you; and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
10Then many will stumble, and they will hate one another, and betray one another.
11And many false prophets will rise, and will mislead a great many.
12And because of the growth of iniquity, the love of many will become cold.
13But he who has patience to the end, will be saved.
14And this thinking of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a testimony to all the nations. Then the end will come.


15When you see the sign of the refuse of desolation, (39:9:27) as spoken by the prophet Daniel, accumulating in the holy place, whoever reads should understand.
16Then let those who are in Judea, flee to the mountain.
17He who is on the roof, do not let him come down to take things out of his house.
18He who is in the field, do not let him return to take his clothes.
19But woe to those who are pregnant, and to those who nurse in those days.
20Pray that your flight may not be in winter, nor on the sabbath.
21For then will be great suffering, such as has never happened from the beginning of the world until now, and never will be again.
22And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would live; but for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
23Then if any man should say to you, Look, here is an anointed, or there, do not believe it.
24For there will rise false anointings and lying prophets, and they will show signs and great wonders, to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.
25Look, I have told you in advance.
26Therefore if they should say to you, Look, he is in the desert, do not go out; or, look, he is in the room, do not believe it.
27For just as the lightning comes out from the east, and is seen even in the west, so the coming of the son of man will be.
28For wherever the corpse is, there the eagles will gather.


29Immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the skies, and the powers of the skies will be shaken. (13:13:10)
30Then the sign of the son of man will appear in the skies; and then all the generations of the land will mourn, and they will see the son of man coming on the clouds of the skies, with an army and great glory.
31And he will send his angels with a large trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from the 4 winds, from the ends of the skies.


32Learn a parable from the fig tree. As soon as its branches become tender and bring forth leaves, you know that summer is coming.
33So even you, when you see all these things, know that it has arrived at the door.
34Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things happen.
35The skies and land will pass away, but my words will not pass away.


36But concerning that day and that hour, no man knows, not the angels of the skies, but the father alone.
37Just as in the days of Noah, so the coming of the son of man will be.
38For as the people before the flood were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark,
39and they knew nothing until the flood came and carried them all away; such will be the coming of the son of man.
402 men will be in the field, 1 will be taken and the other left.
412 women will be grinding at the handmill, 1 will be taken and the other left.
42Therefore be alert for you do not know at what hour your master will come.
43But know this much, if the master of the house knew at what watch the thief comes, he would keep awake and not let his house be plundered.
44For this reason, you also be ready, for the son of man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Knowing Servant

41 Matthew 24:45-25:0
45Who, then, is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has appointed over his house, to give them food in due time?
46Blessed is that servant, when his master comes and finds him doing this.
47Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all that he has.
48But if a bad servant should say in his heart, My master will delay his coming,
49and he begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with drunkards,
50the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect, and at an hour that he does not know.
51And he will be cut in half, and given a portion like the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

10 Virgins

41 Matthew 25:1-13
1Then the kingdom of the skies will be like 10 virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to greet the bridegroom and the bride.
25 of them were wise, and 5 were foolish.
3And the foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them.
4But the wise ones took oil in the vessels with their lamps.
5As the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6And at midnight, there was a cry, Look! The bridegroom is coming; go out to greet him.
7Then all the virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.
8And the foolish ones said to the wise ones, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.
9Then the wise ones answered and said, Why, there would not be enough for us and for you; go to those who sell and buy for yourselves.
10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready entered with him into the wedding house, and the door was locked.
11Afterward, the other virgins also came and said, Master! Master! Open to us.
12But he answered and said to them, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.
13Therefore be alert for you do not know that day nor the hour.

Talents

41 Matthew 25:14-30
14It is just like a man who went on a journey, who called his servants and put his wealth in their charge.
15To one he gave 5 talents, to one 2, to another 1; to each one according to his ability; and immediately, he went on a journey.
16The one who received 5 talents then went and traded with them, and he earned 5 others.
17Likewise, the 2nd one, by trading, gained 2 others.
18But he who received 1, went and dug in the ground, and hid his master's money.
19After a long time, the master of those servants returned, and took an accounting from them.
20Then the one who received 5 talents came and offered 5 others, and he said, My master, you gave me 5 talents; look, I have added 5 others to them.
21His master said to him, Well done, good and reliable servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will appoint you over much; enter into your master's joy.
22Then the one with the 2 talents came and said, My master, you gave me 2 talents, look I have added 2 others to them.
23His master said to him, Well done, good and reliable servant, you have been faithful over a little, I will appoint you over much; enter into your master's joy.
24Then the one who received 1 talent also came, and he said, My master, I knew that you are a hard man, and you reap where you did not sow, and gather where you did not scatter.
25So I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground; here it is, it is your own 1.
26His master answered and said to him, Wicked and lazy servant, you knew me that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather where I did not scatter.
27You should have put my money in the exchange, and when I returned, I would have demanded my own with interest.
28Therefore take away the talent from him and give it to the one who has 10 talents.
29For to him who has, it will be given, and it will increase to him; but he who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30The idle servant they threw into the outer darkness, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Judging The Nations

41 Matthew 25:31-26:0
31When the son of man comes in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
32All nations will gather before him; and he will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33He will set the sheep at his right, and the goats at his left.
34Then the king will say to those at his right, Come, you blessed of my father, inherit the kingdom which has been prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger and you took me in;
36I was naked, and you covered me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.
37Then the righteous will say to him, Master, when did we see you hungry, and feed you or thirsty and give you drink?
38And when did we see you a stranger, and take you in? Or that you were naked, and covered you?
39And when did we see you sick, or in the prison, and come to you?
40Then the king will answer and say to them, Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these brothers, you did it to me.


41Then he will also say to those at his left, Go away from me, you cursed, to the everlasting fire, which is prepared for the adversary and his angels.
42For I was hungry, and you did not give me food; I was thirsty, and you did not give me drink;
43I was a stranger, and you did not take me in; I was naked, and you did not cover me; I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me.
44Then they will also answer and say, Master, when did we see you hungry, thirsty, a stranger, naked, sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?
45Then he will answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to the least of these, you also did not do it to me.
46And these will go into everlasting torment, and the righteous into life everlasting.

42 Mark 13:3-14:0
3While Jesus sat on the mount of Olives, towards the temple, Peter and Jacob and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4Tell us when these things will happen, and what is the sign when all these things are about to be fulfilled?
5Then Jesus began to tell them, Be careful that no man deceive you;
6for many will come in my name and say, I am he; and they will deceive many.
7And when you hear of wars and rumors of revolutions, do not be afraid; for this is bound to happen, but the end is not yet.
8For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be earthquakes in different places, and there will be famines and uprisings. These things are just the beginning of travail.


9Look out for yourselves; for they will deliver you to the judges, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; and you will stand before kings and governors for my sake, and as a testimony to them.
10But my thinking must first be preached among all nations.
11When they bring you to deliver you up, do not worry beforehand what you will speak; and do not think of anything except what is given you in that very hour; speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the holy spirit.
12A brother will deliver his brother to death, and a father his son; and the sons will rise up against their parents and put them to death.
13And you will be hated by all men because of my name; but he who has patience to the end will be saved.


14But when you see the sign of uncleanness and desolation, (39:9:27) as spoken by the prophet Daniel, accumulating where it should not be, let him who reads understand, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountain,
15and let him who is on the roof not come down, and not enter to take anything out of his house,
16and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his clothes.
17But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse in those days.
18Pray that your flight may not be in winter.
19For in those days, there will be suffering such as has never been, from the beginning of the creation which god made until now, and never will be again.
20And if master had not shortened those days, no flesh would live; but for the sake of the elect ones, which he chose, he shortened those days.
21Then, if any man should say to you, Look, here is an anointed, or, Look there, do not believe it.
22For there will rise false anointings and lying prophets, and they will show signs and wonders, and mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.
23But be careful; look, I have told you everything in advance.


24In those days, after that suffering, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light,
25and the stars will fall from the skies, and the powers of the universe will be shaken. (13:13:10)
26Then, they will see the son of man coming in the clouds, with a great army and with glory.
27Then he will send his angels, and gather his chosen ones from the 4 winds, from the utmost part of the land, to the utmost part of the skies.


28From the fig tree learn a parable. When its branches become tender and bring forth leaves, you know that summer is coming.
29So even you, when you see all these things happen, understand that it is near, even at the door.
30Truly, I say to you, that this nation will not pass away until all these things happen.
31The skies and land will pass away, but my words will not pass away.


32But concerning that day and that hour, no man knows, not even the angels of the skies, nor the son, except only the father.
33Watch, be alert, and pray; for you do not know what time it is.
34It is just like a man who went on a journey, and left his house and gave authority to his servants and to each man his work, and he commanded the porter to keep awake.
35Therefore be alert, for you do not know when the owner of the house will come, in the evening or at midnight or at the rooster crow or in the morning.
36He might come suddenly and find you asleep.
37What I say to you, I say to all of you, be alert.

43 Luke 21:7-36
7And they asked him saying, Teacher, when will these things happen? What is the sign for when these things are about to happen?
8He said to them, Be careful, that you may not be deceived; for many will come in my name, and say, I am an anointed; and the time is near; but do not follow them.
9And when you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be afraid; for all these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet.


10For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11And there will be great earthquakes in different places, and famines and plagues; and there will be alarming sights, and great signs will appear from the skies; and the winters will be severe.
12But, before all these things, they will lay hands on you and persecute you, and deliver you to the synagogues and the prisons; and they will bring you before kings and governors, for the sake of my name.
13It will be to you for a testimony.
14Treasure it in your hearts, and do not try to learn what to answer.
15For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your enemies will not be able to withstand.
16You will be delivered up, even by your parents and brothers, and your relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death.
17And you will be hated by every man because of my name.
18Yet, not a hair of your head will be lost.
19By your patience, you will gain your souls.


20But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by an army, then know that its destruction is at hand.
21Then, let those who are in Judea flee to the mountain; and let those who are inside it flee; and let those who are in the fields, not enter into it.
22For these are the days of vengeance, so that everything which is written must be fulfilled.
23But woe to those who are pregnant, and to those who nurse in those days. For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.
24And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and they will be taken captive to every country; and Jerusalem will be trampled under the feet of the Gentiles, until the time of the Gentiles comes to an end.


25And there will be signs in the sun, moon and stars; and on land, distress of the nations, and confusion, because of the roaring of the sea;
26and upheaval that takes life out of men, because of fear of what is to come on land; and the powers of the universe will be shaken.
27Then, they will see the son of man coming in the clouds with a large army and great glory.
28But when these things begin to happen, have courage and lift up your heads, because your salvation is at hand.


29And he spoke to them a parable, Look at the fig tree and all the trees;
30when they put forth leaves, you immediately understand by them that summer is near.
31Even so, you, when you see these things happen, also know that the kingdom of god is near.
32Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
33The skies and land will pass away, but my words will not pass away.


34But be careful, that your hearts may not become heavy by extravagance and drunkenness and worries of this world, and that day come suddenly on you.
35For like a downpour, it will entrap all those who live on the face of all the land.
36Therefore always keep watch and pray that you may be worthy to escape all these things which are to happen and that you may stand before the son of man.

Jesus’ Betrayal and Anointing At Bethany

Another parable matching the time of the Babylonian exile. This particular parable includes another time reference. The "two day" reference that begins this parable in Mark is a reference to the two millenniums that link 10500 AA to 12500 AA. This links the Second temple at Jerusalem (Ezra’s temple) to the temple built in Rome starting about 1500 AD. The issue in both is the amount of money spent on the building. Luther had problems with the indulgences sold at the time. Jesus editorial, as it appears to be for most buildings is this: Don’t hinder the woman with woman from doing this because it prepares Jesus’ body (His Church) for burial. Church buildings are in part a memorial to their builders that often are known world wide. Think of Saint Peter’s Basilica, the one reference in the parable, as a starting point. Many, many others have followed at different times and in different places. People are saved through these things.

Note also that Mark’s reference to 300 Denarii pushes from 10500 AA to 10800 AA or so. This is pushing in on the time of Jesus in world history. There would also be another 100+ years implied here as Saint Peter’s took over 100 years to build, suggesting skew in the start of this project.

Matthew (P) Mark (P) Luke (P)

41 Matthew 26:1-16
1When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
2You know after 2 days the passover will be, and the son of man will be betrayed to be crucified.


3Then the high priests, the scribes and the elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, who is called Caiaphas.
4And they took counsel concerning Jesus, to arrest him by a snare and kill him.
5And they said, Not on the feast day, so as not to cause a riot among the people.


6And when Jesus was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the potter,
7a woman came up to him with an alabaster vessel of precious perfume, and she poured it on the head of Jesus, while he was reclining.
8When his disciples saw it, they were displeased, and said, Why this loss?
9This possibly could have been sold for a great deal, and given to the poor.
10But Jesus understood it and said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? She has done a good work to me.
11For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
12But this one who poured the perfume on my body, did it for my burial.
13Truly I say to you, wherever my thinking is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told as a memorial to her.


14Then 1 of the 12, called Judas Iscariot, went to the high priests;
15and said to them, What are you willing to give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they promised him 30 pieces of silver.
16And from that time, he sought an opportunity to betray him.

42 Mark 14:1-11
1After 2 days, the passover of unleavened bread was to come; and the high priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize him by craft and kill him.
2And they said, Not during the feast, for it may cause a riot among the people.


3When he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the potter, while he reclined, a woman came who had with her an alabaster vessel of perfume of pure nard, of good quality and very expensive; and she opened it and poured it on the head of Jesus.
4But there were some men of the disciples who were displeased inside themselves, and said, Why was this perfume wasted?
5For it could have been sold for more than 300 denarii and given to the poor. So they were indignant at her.
6Jesus said, Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has done a good deed to me.
7For you always have the poor with you, and when you wish, you can do good to them; but I am not always with you.
8But this one has done it with what she had; she anointed my body in advance, as for the burial.
9And truly, I say to you, wherever this, my thinking, is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told as a memorial to her.


10Then Judas of Iscariot, 1 of the 12, went to the high priests to deliver Jesus to them.
11When they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought an opportunity to deliver him.

43 Luke 21:37-22:0
37During the day, he taught in the temple; and at night, he went out and lodged in the mountain which is called the place of Olives.
38And all the people came ahead of him to the temple, to hear him.

43 Luke 22:1-6
1Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the passover, was at hand.
2And the high priests and the scribes sought how to kill him; but they were afraid of the people.


3But the accuser had taken possession of Judas, called Iscariot, who was of the number of the 12.
4So he went away and spoke with the high priests and the scribes and officers of the temple about delivering him to them.
5And they were glad, and promised to give him money.
6And he agreed with them, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the people.

Day/Year Passion Replay

The story that Jesus taught on this date was on the subject of paying head-tax to Caesar. In this case Jesus used a strange lesson where he took the inscription on the coin itself as the basis for explaining that Caesar is due his own coins.

The major headline out of the White House involved a response to an AP article about the effectiveness of the stimulus packages at creating jobs. The White House, Caesar's court, promised full data to be released on Friday, October 30, 2009, after several more days of scrubbing.

On Friday, after the release of the data, the Financial Times as well as many others began to seriously criticize the effectiveness of the stimulus packages at creating jobs. The US TV network ABC estimated the cost per job of around $160,000 each.

Clearly the topic of the hour was how many heads Caesar's money was buying, and it was clear that it was not buying very many considering how much money was spent on the effort. Caesar was having to back-peddle on the whole stimulus package since it was obvious to nearly everyone that far more people could have been helped simply by giving the money away.

Jesus appears to be making a rather complex statement about how all Caesar's money is good for is paying Caesar's tax. It isn't very good at providing for people's daily needs, which is what God does for his people. Remember the Master's prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread..." Pharaoh/Caesar is simply incompetent at the task.

The Wife of the 7 Brothers

Note that while this was going on US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was traveling in Pakistan.

Hillary is an important person in the general fulfillments involving the US White House. She appears to be the woman who will fulfill the parable of the woman who keeps on loosing husbands.

At the time of this prophetic date Hillary was making a political mess in Pakistan. She badgered the Pakistanis in various ways. One was an attempt to get them to go after the tribal lands were Bin Laden is thought to be hiding. At severe pressure from the west the Pakistani government has been doing this, but at some risk the entire government will fall.

Another point she made was on the subject of taxation. Her point was that America taxes everything that moves, as well as things that don't. She wanted the Pakistanis to do the same to their people, enslaving them too.

Of course the Pakistani people do not have Caesar as their overlord, so they have a lower tax rate. This aspect of Jesus' parable on taxation is seen in Clinton's comments. Massive taxes are only paid to Caesar.

Curiously, her departure from Pakistan was the fulfillment of related Psalm 114, which suggests she was "hot" as a fulfillment venue for both headlines. (No wonder the woman had 7 husbands die.)

Greatest Commandment

Jesus told the parable of the Greatest Commandment. Very briefly, the 10 commandments boil down to love God, love your Neighbor.

Clinton's visit to Pakistan is curious because she was in part trying to badger the Pakistani government into overrunning the tribal lands that are effectively outside of Pakistani control.

Clinton's request has been part of US government policy since 911, she is only continuing a long string of western blunders in the region.

The Pakistani people don't particularly view those tribal lands as part of their own nation. They are only part because the west thinks they are.

To the Pakistani's these lands are simply a neighboring people. Clinton is asking the Pakistanis to attack their neighbor. This is of course in direct contradiction to the commandment which says love your neighbor. War would cease if everyone obeyed this commandment.

Reports indicate that there is some risk that the Pakistani government might collapse if they do not press for peace with these particular neighbors. So, in effect, Clinton risks loosing everything if she continues to press against the basic rules laid out in scripture.

In any case, her visit in Pakistan appears to be the fulfillment venue for this aspect of the headlines expected at this date.

Widow's Mites

The parable of the Widow, and casting her mites into the temple treasury is also fulfilled in Clinton's travels. The wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq appear to be the reason why she spent all her funds and became a poor widow. Mark's account discusses the contrast about attacking neighbors versus conquering them like David did. (Which is perhaps why David's kingdom could not stand for long.)

Complete fulfillment for the widow involves the way Clinton left Pakistan for Abu Dhabi, and then Jerusalem.

Woman Anoints Jesus' Body

This is yet one more story for this prophetic hour and it too likely points at Hillary Clinton and her travels.

Note that Clinton is the scorned woman from the Sodom and Gomorrah stories, and her actions will likely cause the famous signs at the end of the age.
