ROBERT’S OPEN DECLARATION!”
My position in presenting these postings is done not as a pastor, minister, or teacher of God’s words. They are brought forward as a Watchman’s messages to be discerned by those receiving them and choosing personally how to react. Scriptural foundation for their delivery Ezekiel 33:9
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul

It is with great love for all given to me by Yeshua that you are receiving them.   Luke 10:16
[16]He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.  And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen.

PRELUDE: It is my duty to bring forward this information. Please note that the Commentary offered are quotes by Matthew Henry (1662 – 1714).

The Observations offered are from Robert (1945 – current), offering his commentary as Yeshua’s Watchman (Ezekiel 33:9).

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION !

2 Corinthians 5:10-11
[10]For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
[11]Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

OBSERVATION!

Today’s world is based on instant gratification. Therefore, we should not make ourselves, but Christ, the end of our living and actions. A Christian’s life should be devoted to Christ.

How many show the worthlessness of their professed faith and love by living to themselves and to the world! Looking for instant answers to prayers, quick fixes, and immediate responses!

This is where believers must be patient as our Lord conditions the hearts of his obedient servants to fulfill his promises.

Luke 16:15 KJV
And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

What men count slackness, is long-suffering, and that to us-ward; it is giving more time to his own people, to advance in knowledge and holiness, and in the exercise of faith and patience, to abound in good works, doing and suffering what they are called to, that they may bring glory to God.

COMMENTARY!

Ye cannot serve God and the world, so divided are the two interests. When our Lord spoke thus, the covetous Pharisees treated his instructions with contempt.

But he warned them, that what they contended for as the law, was a wresting of its meaning: this our Lord showed in a case respecting divorce. There are many covetous sticklers for the forms of godliness, who are the bitterest enemies to its power, and try to set others against the truth.

OBSERVATION!

We can tell how men look, but God can tell what they are. He judges men by the heart. We often form a mistaken judgment of characters; but the Lord values only the faith, fear, and love, which are planted in the heart, beyond human discernment.

And God does not favour our children according to our fond partiality, but often most honours and blesses those who have been least regarded.

CLOSING COMMENTARY!

If we take a special view of the church, we shall find what great things God has done and will do for it.

The Jews shall come to their own land; this shall represent the blessings promised. Gospel grace will make a great change in men.

Delivered from the wrath to come, the converted sinner finds peace in his conscience; and love constrains him to devote himself to the service of his Redeemer.

Instead of being profane, contentious, selfish, or sensual, behold him patient, humble, kind, and peaceable. The hope of helping in such a work should urge us to spread the gospel of salvation.

And do thou help us, O Spirit of all truth, to have such views of the fulness, freeness, and greatness of the rich mercy in Christ, as may remove from us all narrow views of sovereign grace.

CLOSING OBSERVATION!

Those that live in unbelief are forever undone if they die in unbelief. The Jews belonged to this present evil world, but Jesus was of a heavenly and Divine nature, so that his doctrine, kingdom, and blessings, would not suit their taste.

But the curse of the law is done away to all that submit to the grace of the gospel. Nothing but the doctrine of Christ’s grace will be an argument powerful enough, and none but the Spirit of Christ’s grace will be an agent powerful enough, to turn us from sin to God; and that Spirit is given, and that doctrine is given, to work upon those only who believe in Christ.

Some say, “Who is this Jesus?” They allow him to have been a Prophet, an excellent Teacher, and even more than a creature; but cannot acknowledge him as overall, God blessed for evermore.

Will not this suffice? Jesus here answers the question. Is this to honour him as the Father? Does this admit his being the Light of the world the Life of Men, one with the Father? All shall know by their conversion, or in their condemnation, that he always spake and did what pleased the Father, even when he claimed the highest honours to himself.

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen.
