Which One

The Words of

Jesus the Christ,

the Son of God:

But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.-Matthew 21:28-32***Before John the Baptist was born to his elderly parents Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and Elizabeth (Elisabeth), Gabriel, an angel of the Lord, spoke to Zechariah of the upcoming conception, birth and purpose of John the Baptist. Six months after Gabriel spoke to Zechariah, Gabriel spoke to Elizabeth's relative Mary, a virgin, regarding the upcoming divine conception, birth and purpose of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God. Shortly after Gabriel spoke to Mary, Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb when Mary was a virgin. After Jesus was in Mary's womb, the angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph, the craftsman to whom Mary was engaged, about the divine conception, birth and purpose of Jesus the Christ. On the 8th day after John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to Zechariah and Elizabeth, he was circumcised, and on the 8th day after Jesus the Christ was born into the tribe of Judah, Jesus was circumcised, according to the covenant of circumcision that the Lord God gave Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) when Abraham was 99 years old. Approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men, including Matthew, to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach, and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Matthew was a publican and worked at the tollhouse collecting taxes from the Israelites for the Roman Empire. Over 2,000 years before John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Abraham and his wife Sarah (Sarai), the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren of Noah the ark builder, were born. After Abraham and Sarah arrived in Canaan, the Lord God promised to give Canaan to Abraham and to Abraham's descendants. When Abraham was 100 years old, Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah. Decades thereafter, the Lord God promised to give Canaan to Isaac and to Isaac's descendants. When Isaac was 40 years old, he became the husband of Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece. When Isaac was 60 years, fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel), were born to Isaac and Rebekah. Decades thereafter, the Lord God promised to give Canaan to Jacob and to Jacob's descendants. Approximately 450 years after 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt and his body was buried in Egypt, Joshua led his fellow Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land. Approximately 650 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, the Assyrians invaded the northern nation of Israel and conquered the royal city, Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Approximately 135 years after Samaria was conquered, Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah, the southern nation, and conquered the royal city, Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Before John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, and after John the Baptist was imprisoned and beheaded, and Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven, the Roman Empire was ruling the land whereupon the kingdoms of the Israelites previously stood.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
