WHO CRUCIFIED THE MESSIAH?

WHO KILLED JESUS? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS SUFFERING AND MURDER?

LISTEN TO JESUS’ OWN WORDS:

Mat 16:21 From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

Mat 21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Mat 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, Mat 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, Mat 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Mat 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Mat 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: Mat 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Mat 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

Mat 26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Mar 8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Mar 9:12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. Mar 9:13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

Luk 9:44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. Luk 9:45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying. Luk 11:46 And He said, Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens grievous to be carried, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Luk 11:47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Luk 11:48 Truly you bear witness that you consent to the deeds of your fathers. For they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. Luk 11:49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute, Luk 11:50 so that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; Luk 11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple.

Luk 18:34 And they did not understand any of these things. And this saying was hidden from them, nor did they know the things which were spoken.
Luk 19:14 But his citizens hated him. And they sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this one to reign over us.
Luk 20:13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that they will respect him when they see him. Luk 20:14 But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir! Come, let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours. Luk 20:15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then shall the lord of the vineyard do to them? Luk 20:16 He shall come and destroy these vinedressers and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this, they said, Let it not be! Luk 20:17 And He looked at them and said, What then is this which is written, "The Stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the Head of the corner?
Luk 22:20 In the same way He took the cup, after having dined, saying, This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is being poured out beause of / through you.
Luk 24:6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, Luk 24:7 saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again? Luk 24:8 And they remembered His words Luk 24:25 And He said to them, O fools and slow of heart to believe all things that the prophets spoke!

Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Joh 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Joh 7:19 Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law! Why do you seek to kill Me?
Joh 8:37 I know that you are Abraham's seed, but you seek to kill Me because My Word has no place in you.
Joh 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now shall the prince of this world be cast out. Joh 12:32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all to Myself. Joh 12:33 But He said this, signifying what kind of death He was about to die.
Joh 13:18 I do not speak of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me."
Act 9:4-5 And he fell to the earth and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? And he said, Who are you, lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom you persecute. It is hard for you to kick against the goads. (Jesus charged Saul for His suffering and His death because of his sins against the believers).
Psa 69:9 For the zeal of Your house has eaten Me up; and the reproaches of those who reproached You have fallen on Me. Rom 15:3 For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."(Our sins against God fell on Jesus and wounded Him)
Isa 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as it were a hiding of faces from Him, He being despised, and we esteemed Him not. Isa 53:4 Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (Mankind despised, rejected and caused Him sorrow, grief, and wounds but by mistake said it was God.)
Isa 53:5 But He was wounded because of (not for) our transgressions; He was bruised because of our iniquities; the correction / instruction for our peace was because of Him; and with His stripes we ourselves are healed. (See Gesenius’s Hebrew Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament, Strong’s no. 4480 (e)) and it is in harmony with all the former.

JESUS NEVER SAID HIS FATHER WILL PUNISH OR KILL OR DESERT HIM AS PUNISHMENT FOR OUR SINS OR IN ANGER.
Isa 53:10 The correct translation according to Gesenius’s Hebrew Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament, Strong’s no. 2470 & 1792.
Yet it pleased Jehovah to be crushed; to be made weak / grieved; (God did not crush Jesus, we did but He allowed us and was willing to be crushed by us. It is in perfect harmony with all the above scriptures.)
Psa 22:1 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me, (It’s not a song about being abandoned. It’s a song about vindication, domination and glory. http://skipmoen.com/2007/07/29/times-two/

According to Lamsa’s translation from the Aramaic of the Peshitta, the Peshitta text reads: “Eli, Eli, lemana shabakthani! My God, my God, for this I was spared.” That is shown in Mark 15 and Matt. 27.
Psa 22:24 For He has not despised nor hated the affliction of the afflicted; and He has not hidden His face from him, but when he cried to Him, He heard.
Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Psa 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Jehovah will take me up.
Psa 31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before Your eyes; surely You heard the voice of my cries, when I cried to You.
Joh 8:16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me.
Joh 8:29 And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things which please Him.
Joh 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me? The Words that I speak to you I do not speak of Myself, but the Father who dwells in Me, He does the works. Act 9:4 And he fell to the earth and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?
Joh 16:32 Behold, the hour comes, yea, has now come, that you will be scattered, each man to his own things, and you will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
Heb 5:7 For Jesus, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong cryings and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared,

JESUS SAID OVER AND OVER, WE (MEN, GENTILES, NATIONS, THE SINNERS, WORLD, ELDERS, PRIESTS, AND SCRIBES) KILLED HIM – BECAUSE OF AND THROUGH OUR SINS. He NEVER said it was God who did it. He was and is God and He did not do it to Himself. We killed Jesus (and all the prophets) through every sin.
Jesus said those who deny they killed the prophets (and Jesus) prove thereby against themselves that they are same as the ones who did it and never realized or confessed it. All the righteous blood ever shed on earth will be required from them!!
The ones who see the truth admit that they are the same as the ones who killed the prophets and Jesus. They confess it with sorrow and repent deeply – and they are forgiven.
Those who get angry because of these words thereby prove that they are indeed the same as the murderers of all the prophets and of Jesus because they got angry at Jesus and Peter and Stephen in Acts 2-4 when they told them the same things.

SELA.

MY TESTIMONY OF REVIVAL

MY TESTIMONY OF REVIVAL.

In 1983 I said to my wife: “We are not enjoying the world or the Christian life. We do both half-heartedly. Let us must make a decision now. We must either wholeheartedly do everything the Bible says, or, if we are not willing, we will throw all our Bibles and everything about it in the dustbin and live just as we like and know we are then going to hell.” Well, by God’s grace we chose the Bible.

 
Then serious problems began. I could not find or live what the Bible says despite every possible human effort. I fasted and prayed, repented, confessed, made restitution, reckoned myself dead to sin, etc. but I found myself in Romans 7. I always found evil in and with me in whatever I did and tried. I also cried like Paul, “O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?” He found deliverance through Jesus Christ for he managed to live according to the Spirit and no more according to the flesh and was set free from sin and the flesh. He could fulfil the righteous commands of the law.

I believed in the Deliverer who would deliver His people from their sins and who was manifested to destroy the works of the devil, I took my cross and followed the crucified Messiah – but deliverance from sin, self and the world would not come for me. His blood was supposed to wash me from all my sins, make my sin stop, make me righteous, make me holy, make my clothes white, give me victory over Satan, and His wounds were supposed to heal me, etc. - but it did not happen in me and I could not understood why not.

He created the universe and mighty sun and raised rotten Lazarus with a word. He could surely and easily cleanse my heart and set me free from all sin and make me holy – but why does it not happen?

After 14 years of agony, one day in 1997 I once again read 1Pet. 2:24 and stood for the thousandth time (in my mind) at the cross of Jesus and looked and looked at His terrible wounds and crushed body and wondered why I do not experience what the Bible says. Peter said: “He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we may die to sins and live onto righteousness; by His wounds you were healed.” Why can I not die to sin and live right? Why does His blood not cleanse me from all sin and give me victory over Satan? Why do His wounds not heal me from my leprosy of sin? Why am I still going astray? 

Suddenly He "spoke" to me and revealed to me that I am the one crucifying, piercing and crushing Him - with every sin. Every sin is extremely painful to Him and it breaks His heart and quenches and grieves His Holy Spirit. When I rather listen to Satan and self than to Him, the Holy One, His heart is crushed. Whenever I break His Word, I break Him because His word became flesh. What I did to the least, I did to Him. I was utterly shocked and realized I was damned and doomed for He was martyred, mutilated and crushed beyond recognition – BY ME – through each of my sins over several decades! Every sin had made a fatal wound in His loving heart. That is why the wages of sin is death and why we will not see Him without holiness. And whilst I hurt Him like this, He spared my life and still fed and blessed me!! O my guilt and evil reached the heavens!

 
I cried out for mercy and forgiveness – but more now than ever for cleansing and deliverance from sin so that sin may stop and that I may live holy and righteous and sin no more - and that I may wound Him no more. In view of the Messiah crucified by my sins, sins are now totally inexcusable. Sin is now absolutely condemned in the flesh. “O Jesus, how can I be totally cleansed and sanctified that I may pierce and crush You no more with my sins?” I cried.

He led me to Zachariah 12:10 – 13:3 and I saw what I must do. If I now, in obedience to the pleading of the Holy Spirit, look up to Him whom I have pierced with every sin and mourn bitterly for Him and confess what each sin has done to Him and repent, He will forgive me for that, AND He will then open that fountain of His blood to wash and cleanse me from all my sins and unrighteousness. So He will drive out the idols, false prophets and unclean spirits from my heart. If I so confess the wounds I have made with each sin – His wounds will heal me from the sickness and incurable leprosy of sin!! So He will make me holy and righteous; then the weakest will become like David who killed Goliath with a small stone and David will be like God! Then we can live the life of Jesus!

 
And I confessed and repented with deep mourning and bitterness and for the first time I truly experienced God-given forgiveness and deliverance from sin. I was forgiven hundreds and thousands of terrible wounds and He washed me with the blood I confessed. Now I love Him much for I have been forgiven very very much and because I was set free from many things no human effort could ever remove from my heart and mind. I knew I can and may never do the things I used to do.

 
And it is now 14 years since He revealed it to me and He has ultimately really done what He promised – through the blood of the Lamb slain by my sins – just as it says in Revelations. All God’s wonderful words and promises became true. “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing.” “Blessing and honour and glory and power be to Him sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb forever and ever” because He “loved us and washed / freed / delivered / cleansed us from our sins in His own blood.”!! He has indeed revived me from my body of death.

 
Friend, your sins are also piercing and crushing Jesus’s holy and loving heart and his heart is truly broken and bleeding because of your sin. Your sins grieve and quench His Holy Spirit. You deserve eternity in hell for it. Admit it, confess it, repent deeply, let it break your heart; mourn bitterly for what you have done to Him over all these years. Do it with every single sin and He promised He will forgive you for all the terrible wounds you inflicted on Him. He will even use that blood to wash you clean from your filth and those wounds to cure you! Oh, His profound mercy. From then on, love Him much because you have been forgiven much and do not allow anything at all that may pierce His loving heart ever again. Follow the Lamb slain by you and be willing to bleed for Him because He has bled through you. Then you will also be revived.

 
Without the remorseful admission and confession that you have shed the Messiahs blood with every sin, there is no forgiveness or deliverance from that sin. According to Jesus’ words, those who deny that they are guilty of all the righteous blood ever shed on earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah killed in their churches, even to the blood of Jesus, are thereby witnesses and proving against themselves that they are the sons of those who murdered the prophets. Because they do not confess that they shed Jesus’ blood with every sin and on top of that they blame God falsely for punishing Jesus in their place for their sins, there is no forgiveness for or deliverance from those sins for them… For these words I also have been and will be killed by many of you and so you will again give witness against yourself that you are indeed murderers of Jesus and all the prophets who spoke these things.

 
SELA (pause and think). AMEN (so be it)
