TEXT: LUKE 21: 22- 24 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23 But woe to unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. (KJV)

Today I would like to deliver a message entitled “JERUSALEM SHALL BE TRODDEN DOWN OF THE GENTILES.”

It is written in the Bible, “Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles” in the end time.

Many pastors say that this means Jerusalem in Israel of the Middle East will be literally trodden down of the Gentiles. Perhaps, such may be possible. But, as I repeat, we should not forget that the Lord emphasized His disciples to understand to interpret parables. We should know that those who intentionally neglect it and make unbiblical blame on the people who understand the parables, saying such to them as, “Such spiritual interpretation is theologically ridiculous,” are miserable liars who surrender at the enemy’s camp.

With the understanding of the parable in mind, let’s look at the text.

22 “For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”

What are the all things in the word, “For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled?” Say, it is the day of the judgment and vengeance on the God’s people of harlots repeatedly written on Isaiah, Ezekiel and Jeremiah.

23 “But woe to unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.”

Women are the metaphor of churches. Women that are with child and that give suck are different from those women that have children who are full of age to eat strong meat. They are conversely women, churches, that have children who need milk.

Churches full of believers and pastors who do not understand parables are miserable on this day. For, the descriptions about the end time are written in parables in the Bible, and so churches that do not understand parables will have no idea what to do.

With it in mind that the wise men of Babylon who could not interpret the dream of the king were sentenced to death in the days of Daniel, we should know that it would literally determine our fate whether we can interpret parables or not in the end time.

It is written, “for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.” The word “in the land” means the place where churches are, and the word “this people” means the God’s people of the New Testament. God’s wrath will come upon them.

24 “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”

The sword is the metaphor of the Word and the doctrine, as is written, “The sword of the Spirit.” So, it seems like to be fallen by the false doctrine, “They shall fall by the edge of the sword.” Those who are wandered by such obvious lies are fallen by the edge of the sword, as there are recently teachings like Q materials that make them shaken to rely on the Word.

What does it mean, “Shall be led away captive into all nations?” If we fight against the enemy and are defeated, we will be led away captive. If Japanese army was defeated by the Americans, they would be led away captive by the Americans. Likewise, the God’s people of the Old Testament were defeated by the enemy and led away captive into the nation. If they were defeated by Assyria, they were led away captive into Assyria, and if they were defeated by Babylon into Babylon.

Babylon was the land of heresy, and there were many satanic teachings such as astrology, magic and so on. But the God’s people should endure the circumstances if they were captive.

Well, these events of the Old Testament are the hint to understand the God’s people now will be led away captive. We should know that as the God’s people are now defeated by the enemy they are led away captive.

Though they may have such an opinion as, “How come are we in captive, as we are not in chain or in prison?” this is a parable concerning faith.

For example, there are many people of the Catholic who are led away captive. Though the Bible clearly says, “Call no one on earth father,” they are led away captive into other nation and are captive, where they call a man, “Papa, Papa”

And, some people are in the nation that has no relation to the faith in the Word, where they say, “Genesis is a myth, and theory of evolution is scientific.” They are also miserable failure, captive who surrender at the enemy’s camp and are deprived of their faith and loyalty.

Well, what does it mean, “Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled?”

Jerusalem is the center of Judah, the nation of the God’s people. Yet, it is said, “Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles” who do not believe in God. What does this mean, if we apply it to the end time? It says no other than that even the most core part of the Church that God loves will be trodden and besieged of the people who do not believe in God or receive Christ.

Are these kinds of things happening now? The homepage “The Horn” informs that they are happening now.

For example, Kathryn Kuhlman who was famous as the charismatic worker was a witch, Satan worshiper. Her grave is in the place of Grendale, in the suburbs of Los Angels, where no common people can come. The grave is in the special corner where the people of freemasonry, Satan worshippers, sleep. Certain pastor found the place and took the photos, the proof, which made us confident it is the fact. (I have a piece of them.)

And the homepage “The Horn” says that the present Pope who has been enthroned for a long time after the good Pope, John the First, who was assassinated thirty three days after his enthronement is freemasonry, Satan worshipper.

The Catholic Church has accepted the false teachings such as the theory of evolution that beasts and men are the same and devils of Mary of Fatima. He is precisely Pope of beast. Those who swallow the prophecies of Mary which most often miss the mark and believe them blindly, saying, “It is the spirit of Mother Mary,” should be the ones who do not know the Bible or the fulfillments of the prophecies. If they read the Bible well and surely see which level the prophecies and the fulfillments are in, they will understand that there is no such prophecy of God that most often misses the mark. She should not be the mother of god but the mother of fox.

Well, as long as the core people of the Church are Satan worshippers, they should not have worshiped Christ. In short, they are the Gentiles. And they occupy the center position in the Christianity, and the people believe in their teachings blindly.

Then, we see the prophecy exactly fulfilled here, “Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles.” They are certainly treading down on Jerusalem, the Church, that God loves, and the Church is stained with their revival of satanic spirits and is lost in their false teachings.

One of the traps of Satan concerning the end time may be to make men think like, “The end time is still not yet and far in the future.” So he has arranged for his false logics of perfectly preparedness.

It is one of the lies, “Israel of the Middle East will be restored and the Jerusalem Temple will be rebuilt in the end time.” If so, as the Temple being far from rebuilding the construction has not yet even started, it will be that the end time is far in the future.

Yet the Lord has said the parables, and those who throw His words of parables and pay attention only to what they see will be deceived.

In fact, the Lord has said the parables, and we should see that the prophecy is exactly fulfilled on the Church, “Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles.” Yes, the time is at hand.

Do not be a blind but wake up.

Let’s do the will of the Lord in the end time.

End.
