The topic under consideration: “Blessed Is He Who Comes in the Name of the Lord” is in Matthew chapter 23. Jesus was speaking to His disciples and the people of "Family of Judah"(Jews) who were led by the religious leaders of Jesus' day, the Old Covenant Church who came to hear what Jesus has to say. The lesson for us today from Matthew 23 is to learn from Jesus' rebuke to His own religious fraternity. Today Jesus is addressing to His own people(Jews in Israel) to whom God sent Him and also to the false Christendom of this world(Rev 6:1-2) who have hijacked God's "Law and Prophets" that Jesus came to uphold and not to destroy as Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-20. In Matthew 23, Jesus' rebuke to the "Scribes and the Pharisees" is applicable to the "false Christendom" of this world which had become a literal Babylon. Today false churches in Christendom had taken the roles of God who is "Spirit" who teaches all His called, chosen and first-fruits of men as Jesus said in John 4:24 and John 6:45. Therefore Jesus rebukes the world body of Christianity this way. ONE: "...to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ 8 But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Leader, and [you are all brethren]. 9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ"(v 7-10). False preachers and their false teaching of World Christianity are running rampant! NOTE: Reference to [you are all brethren] by Jesus confirm whom He focus during this age. Jesus's mission as Messiah at His first coming was to fulfill God's eternal promise to Judah in Genesis 49:10 to prepare His future bride of God's called, chosen and elected first harvest of men. No woman included in the 144000 first-fruits as John describes in Rev 5:9-10, 7:1-8 and 14:1-5. That is because they are kings, lords and priests as for the law of Moses in Numbers 18. Numbers 18 describes the roles of priests and Levites. Redeemed women along with redeemed men will enter as "Levite" in the second resurrection in the "White Throne Judgment", still 1000 year away. Therefore no hurry to enter the kingdom as Jesus said in Luke 16:16-17: 16 “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. 17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one smallest stroke in a Hebrew letter of the law to fail" Therefore, folks, don't press yourselves as men an women both into the kingdom now. Wait for your turn. God and Christ focus during this age only on God's future ruling family of 144000 first harvest of men who will sit with Christ on God's throne room with the 24 elders. Crowns are meant for kings- 24 elders and 144000 sons of first resurrection! TWO: Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of His day for shutting the kingdom to the Jews of His day to fulfill God's promise to them in Genesis 49:10. Jesus came to this world solely on that focus in mind. Today Jesus does the same rebuke to the false Christendom in the absence of Jews still not accepting Him as their Messiah. God is still focusing with His first harvest of 144000 to include non-Jews in the period called "latter rains" in the absence of Jews loosing their exclusive right in failing in "Time Prophecy" in Daniel 9. But false Christendom is shutting many today who might have been under God's radar to include in His first harvest. This is how God rebukes the "Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlot daughters" in Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, Seventh-Day Adventism and many other Christian cult groups worldwide disseminating false doctrines. 13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.(v13) NOTE: Jesus's reference to "men" because it is all about the first-harvest of men. Women are not included in the "first resurrection" at Jesus' Second Coming! THREE: Just as Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of His day, He rebukes the "False Religion of Christianity" today! 15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte(novice), and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of Gehenna as yourselves"(v 15). Today false Christendom is doing lot of harm towards God and His Son Jesus Christ. Let us come to the "topic" in this sermon. The scripture you refer comes under "Jesus Laments over Jerusalem" It is still applicable to the family of Judah(Jews) who are in Israel today. Because they are the sons of promise for the scepter for Judah in Genesis 49:10. They became blind for the purpose of gentiles to come as co-heirs with the Jews as Paul says in Romans 9-11 God still wants them to be as kings, lords and priests to be with their Messiah Jesus as for His promise to Judah under the Abrahamic Covenant. Yet their eyes are still blind to the truths. Reason why Jesus says; 37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate;"(v 37-38) Today the family of Judah is under distress by what happened on October the 7th. Jews are going to face lot of hardships in the near future. But expect the Jews in Israel turn around and come back to their Messiah just before He returns! Jesus is saying, until people whom we call "Jews" in Israel accept Him as their Messiah, He will not return! 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”(v39) As we approach the "Great Tribulation" (only 3 seals left in Rev 5:1 scroll to be peeled off by Christ), there will be mass repentance of Jews coming back to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah! It will be a major turning point in Jesus's ministry and a major sign that we are nearing the end of this age. It is very possible God is still keeping some vacancies to be filled for the sons of Judah(Jews) among 144000 first harvest of men in the last days after God had set apart 7000 Jews under the Old Covenant Church Era as God promised to Elijah in 1 kings 19:18. It is all about Christ's eternal bride of 144000 redeemed "men" of first-harvest who will sit with Christ Jesus on God's throne in "Most High" during the millennium. Reason why Jesus said; 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.(Rev 3:21) NOTE CAREFULLY: "him" and not "her" to confirm those who sit wit Christ are men and not women. All 144000 including 24 elders are "men" and "sons of God", "sons of resurrection". 34 Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; 36 nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection."(Luke 20:34-36)😁
Are you a JW (Jehovah Witness). The elected are 144,000 elected Jewish people in the end times. Not the only ones who will be saved & Inherit eternal life. Salvation is to everyone. John 3;16. Revelation tells us anyone who opens their life to Jesus , He will come into their life & dwell with them. You have a convoluted message of scripture.
Thank you for your teaching this morning. I was blessed.
Pastors arent talking about this; therefore the enemy has been having an eternal field day.

Today false Christendom is doing lot of harm towards God and His Son Jesus Christ.
Let us come to the "topic" in this sermon.
The scripture you refer comes under "Jesus Laments over Jerusalem"
It is still applicable to the family of Judah(Jews) who are in Israel today.
Because they are the sons of promise for the scepter for Judah in Genesis 49:10.
They became blind for the purpose of gentiles to come as co-heirs with the Jews as Paul says in Romans 9-11
God still wants them to be as kings, lords and priests to be with their Messiah Jesus as for His promise to Judah under the Abrahamic Covenant.
Yet their eyes are still blind to the truths.

37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
38 See! Your house is left to you desolate;"(v 37-38)
Today the family of Judah is under distress by what happened on October the 7th.
Jews are going to face lot of hardships in the near future.
But expect the Jews in Israel turn around and come back to their Messiah just before He returns!
Jesus is saying, until people whom we call "Jews" in Israel accept Him as their Messiah, He will not return!
39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”(v39)
As we approach the "Great Tribulation" (only 3 seals left in Rev 5:1 scroll to be peeled off by Christ), there will be mass repentance of Jews coming back to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah!
It will be a major turning point in Jesus's ministry and a major sign that we are nearing the end of this age.

NOTE CAREFULLY:
"him" and not "her" to confirm those who sit wit Christ are men and not women.
All 144000 including 24 elders are "men" and "sons of God", "sons of resurrection".
34 Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35 But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;
36 nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God,
being sons of the resurrection."(Luke 20:34-36)😁
