Separation in the final hours

Matthew 15:14

"Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch"

Here Jesus is talking about the Pharisees. The Pharisees were false teachers who twisted God's word to support their own man made traditions.

Jesus said this after the disciples told Him that the Pharisees got offended that He (Jesus) called them out on breaking God's commandments in order to support their man made doctrines. In other words, Jesus told the disciples not to bother with them or try to convince them of the truth. He even indicates to also leave alone those who follow them. He said both the blind guides (Pharisees) and those who listen to them will fall into a ditch. This ditch will be the Lake of fire at the last day.

Jesus did not try to convince people more than once as He knew that if these people were not planted by His heavenly Father they would be uprooted anyways. He felt it useless to try and convince them of His Father's word. Jesus gives us sound advice elsewhere regarding this principle:

Matthew 7:6

"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."

We should not try to keep reaching those who outright reject the gospel and especially if they are hostile to it. Jesus describes them as dogs and swine. He says it is a waste of time to try and give them God's pearls of wisdom which is the gospel of the Kingdom. Because they are reprobate all they will do is trample them underfoot like pigs and then come and tear you to pieces.

This is why it is folly to debate and argue with Atheists who the bible calls fools. When believers in Christ try to give them the gospel they mock and scorn and deride us and what we believe. They are a perfect example of what Jesus is describing above.

1 John 4:5-6

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

In context, John is talking about the false prophets who have the spirit of antichrist and go out into the world to deceive people. Notice that John says the world hears these false prophets who deny the Sonship of Christ. Why do they hear these false prophets? Because both of them are of the world having the spirit of antichrist.

We should not wonder when the world rejects the message of the gospel yet embraces the message of the false prophets as the spirit of antichrist is in them. The world hears and loves it's own. 

The false prophets speak of worldly principles and idealogies therefore the world listens to them because they also believe in those idealogies. However, those who know Jehovah God hear those who preach the apostles doctrine. Many who outright reject the gospel have already been given over to a strong delusion by God and believe a lie. We need to be intune with the holy Spirit and discern when someone who is a swine so that we don't waste our time in giving them pearls lest they turn and tear us to pieces.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

There is a point where God gives someone over to their sin and a lie. This is the strong delusion. This starts with the persons rejection of the truth which is God's word. This is why it is fruitless to debate and argue with people as they may have already been given over to the strong delusion. As the time approaches the second advent of Christ this will become more pronounced and it is God's way of separating the sheep from the goats. We must use our God given discernment and recognize when this is the case and not go against God's will of separation.

The Breaker of Bozrah

Isaiah 63:1

"Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save."

Who is this? The answer is Christ the King (Revelation 19:13). Jesus as the Davidic King will comes to the earth wearing His majestic crown and His Kingly apparel:

Revelation 19:11-12

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

Jesus speaks in righteousness as His name is called the word of God:

"And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God."  (Revelation 19:13).

Jesus Christ is mighty to save as is our Savior

Bozrah was a nation descended from Esau, frequently representative of all peoples hostile to Jehovah God and His people:

Isaiah 34:6

"The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

Again, Bozrah represents the nations at the end of time that will be against Jehovah and His Christ. The sword of Jehovah will be filled with blood on that day that His Son treads the winepress of the grapes of wrath (unbelievers). Jehovah God will have a sacrifice in Bozrah on the great and terrible day of His wrath. This sacrifice will be the slaughtering of dead bodies in Edom which is a type of the unbelieving world at the second advent.

Verses 2 and 3 of Isaiah 63:

2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

Jesus garments will be stained blood red just as Revelation 19:13 says. Jesus treads the winepress of His Father's wrath as we see in Revelation 14:

19And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.20And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

We see that when the Son of God tramples the grapes of wrath (unbelievers) blood will flow throughout the cities and villages of earth. The earth will be soaked in blood.

Revelation 19:15

"And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God"

Upon the return of Christ He will dash the nations (Bozrah) to pieces like a potter's vessel and tread the winepress of Jehovah's wrath. Isaiah 63:3 says that Jesus will do this in anger and in fury. The blood of the unbelievers upon the return of Christ will be on His garments. In fact, the blood of them will stain all His garments meaning His clothing will be soaked blood red.

Luke 19:27

"But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."

Do you hear this in church? Jesus will actually have His enemies brought before Him and killed in front of Him.

Verse 4 of Isaiah 63

"For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come."

Jesus has this day of vengeance in his heart against the unbelievers where He will kill them in His anger. It will also be the day of redemption for His brethren.

Verse 6 of Isaiah 63

"And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth."

Do you hear this? Jesus is gonna trod the unbelievers underfoot in His anger and pour out their blood!
