The Bottom Line

The Words of

Jesus the Christ,

the Son of God:

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.-Matthew 23:37-39***Before Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the disciple and apostle, and was  arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven, Jesus spoke while in the presence of his disciples and other Israelites, including perhaps some scribes and Pharisees, about his Father, the Lord God in heaven, and the kingdom of heaven, and Jerusalem, and the prophets of the Lord God. At least 33 1/2 years before Jesus was speaking to the group, Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem, nearly 6 miles from Jerusalem, into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. The Roman Empire was ruling Jerusalem and all of the surrounding regions and provinces. However, the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that after David, from the tribe of Judah, became the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites, Jerusalem and the rest of the Promised Land was ruled by Israelites, the descendants of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). Judah was the 4th son born to Jacob and his 1st wife Leah. Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Rehoboam,  the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to rule over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city, and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city, and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. Less than 200 years after Jeroboam's son Nadab became the 2nd king to rule the northern nation of Israel, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-grandson Jehoash (Joash) was the 7th king to rule Judah. Zechariah  was born to Jehoiada the priest and his wife Jehosheba  (Jehoshabeath). Joash was responsible for Zechariah being stoned to death in Jerusalem, on the grounds of the temple of the Lord. Joash's great-great-great-great-grandson Manasseh was the 13th king to rule Judah. The Lord God revealed to his prophets that Manasseh was responsible for innocent blood being shed, filling Jerusalem, and the Lord God would not forgive. Manasseh's great-grandson Jehoiakim (Eliakim) was the 17th king to rule Judah. Jehoiakim was responsible for the death, probably in Jerusalem, of Urijah the prophet. During Jehoiakim's 11-year reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar,  ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, was the 18th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiachin's 3-month reign, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. During the 11th year of the reign of Jehoiakim's brother King Zedekiah (Mattaniah), the 19th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Before taking Zedekiah and more Israelites captive, the Babylonians burned the temple and other buildings. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-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, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Jeremiah 1:1-19, 26:1-24, 39:1-18, 52:1-34, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.-Nehemiah 9:26

Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:-Acts 7:52
