These Little Ones [Part Two]
GOD Is A Divorcee!
Deuteronomy 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Deuteronomy 24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
Deuteronomy 24:3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
Deuteronomy 24:4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
[
Note:
The LAW says that if you divorce your wife that you CANNOT remarry her or be with her again! You CAN'T take her back once she is with another man! That is THE LAW!
]
Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
GOD Divorced Israel:
Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Israel Is No Longer Married To GOD And GOD Cannot Remarry Israel.
According to the Law, GOD divorced Israel and that is because Israel (and Judah) played the harlot by worshiping other gods and forming their own religions. Israel cheated on GOD! Therefore, since GOD divorced Israel and Israel was with another (worshiped satan), GOD cannot remarry Israel!
...Unless GOD dies.
When JESUS, which is GOD in the flesh (Immanuel, which is JESUS’ name means GOD WITH US!) died on the CROSS, Israel was free to remarry. So, now GOD can take her to wife because HE died and rose from the dead and lives again.
So, Israel can now be The Bride Of CHRIST!
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead ; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
[
Note:
When GOD compares marriage with CHRIST and the Church, HE is showing us how HE feels by relating it to something that produces great emotion in us. GOD has similar emotions as we, but GOD is Supernatural. Supernatural means more natural, therefore it goes without saying that GOD has more intense emotions than we do. So, when GOD compares HIS Love for us to marriage and family, we can see how HE feels when we go astray.
Also, when GOD is speaking of idolatry (idol worship), it is similar to the feeling that we would have in our families if our spouse committed adultery. Idolatry is the spiritual equivalent of physical adultery. Anything we put between us and GOD is idol worship. All idol worship is a type of satan worship. The worst idol worship of all is when GOD'S children fall away to satan at the end time when satan is cast out of Heaven to earth as antichrist. That is why the woman in Revelation is known as the great white whore. It’s GOD’S children formed into the one world system worshiping satan as their leader.
It is my opinion that since GOD divorced Israel, and also that the Church is The Bride Of CHRIST, that it may not necessarily be that GOD only compares HIS relationship to us with marriage and family, but that the very marriage and family love and relationships we all know so well are actually patterned after what we were, and will be familiar with again in Heaven as one big happy family.
Divorce is not a good thing, and many suffer as a result of it. It’s not just the husband and wife that suffer, especially if children are involved. Since JESUS died for our sins, if you divorced, when you repent and ask for forgiveness in JESUS NAME, your sin is washed away. It is as if you never divorced at all. But know true repentance. You can’t con GOD.
Divorce is NOT "The UNFORGIVABLE Sin".

Hosea 1:1 The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
[
Note:
Hosea means salvation.
The list of the kings of Judah and the king of Israel sets the timeframe of this prophecy.
Hosea was sent to and is of the ten tribes of Israel that went North after the Assyrian captivity. This took place from 689 B.C. to 611 B.C., a seventy eight year period. GOD had divorced Israel because of adultery as stated in Jeremiah 3:8.
Beeri means fountain, or producing well.
Joash means to who YAH hastens.
These are the kings of Judah during Hosea’s prophecy:
Uzziah means the strength of YAH.
Jotham means YAH’S upright.
Ahaz means possessor.
Hezekiah means the might of YAH.
The king of Israel during Hosea’s prophecy:
Jeroboam means his people are many (all ten tribes).
This fixes the time frame of Hosea’s prophecy.
Because it was a long distance from Samaria to Jerusalem to worship, Jeroboam formed two golden calves and told the people they could worship in Samaria instead of going the distance to Jerusalem. GOD does not put up with sacrilege, and this was sacrilege. This has to do with the scattering of Israel. But when you scatter, you are also sowing.
]
Hosea 1:2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.
[
Note:
Children of whoredoms do not know who their father is, and GOD wants HIS children to know HE is FATHER of all.
]
Hosea 1:3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
[
Note:
Gomer means completion.
Diblaim means double fig cake.
]
Hosea 1:4 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
[
Note:
Judah is knowledgeable of who they are, but Israel has no knowledge of their identity to this day. GOD was Blessing Jehu, as Jehu was out destroying baal worshipers, but Jehu, in 2 Kings 10:15 allowed Jahonadab, the son of rechab (the head kenite) into his chariot. That means Jehu brought the enemy into his chariot and befriended him. This would result in bad for Israel.
Jezreel means to scatter, and it also means to sow. As GOD scatters Israel, at the same time HE is sowing them in different places in the world. When they become aware of who they are, it will result in teachers of GOD’S WORD, and TRUTH will prevail. GOD avenges Jehu to know the scattering is taking place and the sowing is beginning.
]
Hosea 1:5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
[
Note:
And this happened in 2 Kings 10:11 through 15. You can’t destroy all of your enemy if they are in your chariot with you.
]
Hosea 1:6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
[
Note:
Loruhamah means not pitied, or not loved. GOD is saying that HE doesn’t love Israel anymore, because Israel cheated on HIM. GOD is a divorcee’, and HE is making it very clear that HE is happy that HE is divorced from Israel. So, HE scattered Israel and called this girl, not loved.
]
Hosea 1:7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
[
Note:
But by the Savior, The LORD JESUS CHRIST.
]
Hosea 1:8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
Hosea 1:9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
[
Note:
Israel was worshiping golden calves instead of going to Jerusalem to worship our FATHER. They were chasing other gods, playing the harlot. So, GOD said, they are not MY people.
]
Hosea 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
Hosea 1:11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
[
Note:
The ONE Head that they appoint over them is The LORD JESUS CHRIST. For great will be the day of the scattering and the sowing (Jezreel). The coming together of the house of Judah and the house of Israel is written of in the thirty seventh chapter of Ezekiel. The whole house of Israel was a dead and dry stack of bones. But GOD told Ezekiel to prophesy (preach or teach the TRUTH) unto the dead dry bones and Life came into those bones. This will happen during The LORD’S Day.
]
Hosea 2:1 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
[
Note:
It is no longer LoAmmi (not MY people), but Ammi (MY people), and it is no longer LoRuhamah (not loved), but Ruhamah (loved). Because you cannot blame the children for the parent’s sin. Even though children of whoredoms may not know who their father is, GOD knows WHO their FATHER is.
]
Hosea 2:2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
[
Note:
Tell the children to plead with their mother to stop committing adultery. This is related to the children going against antichrist. When they are thrown into the midst of the fire, a FIRE will come forth into the whole house of Israel (Ezekiel 5:1-4).
]
Hosea 2:3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
[
Note:
The famine of the end time is not for bread or for water, but for hearing the WORDS of The LORD.
]
Hosea 2:4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
[
Note:
Until they have a change of heart.
]
Hosea 2:5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
[
Note:
GOD is the provider. Any good that Israel has ever had was by GOD, not the impostor, who is antichrist.
]
Hosea 2:6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
[
Note:
GOD will blind her (Israel).
]
Hosea 2:7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
[
Note:
This is much like the prodigal son. He took his inheritance and left the family, but when he ran out of his inheritance, he lost everything and was empty. He realized that the Blessings come from home all along. So he repented and when he went home, his father welcomed him as though it was life from the dead.
]
Hosea 2:8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
[
Note:
GOD is the Giver of Blessings. When she turned from GOD, she lost everything. She had to chase her lovers and pay them. When she was empty, her lovers were nowhere to be found.
]
Hosea 2:9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
[
Note:
When GOD removes HIS Blessings, she will be desolate and naked.
]
Hosea 2:10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
[
Note:
GOD will catch her in the act, and she will pay for what she has done.
]
Hosea 2:11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
Hosea 2:12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
[
Note:
GOD will take away her Blessings and throw away her abominable things, and she will be desolate and naked. The devil and his evil ones are the beasts of the field.
]
Hosea 2:13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
[
Note:
She forgets about worshiping GOD properly and worships things like ishtar. Take it back to its roots and it’s baal worship.
]
Hosea 2:14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
[
Note:
GOD will make her hear the TRUTH.
]
Hosea 2:15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
[
Note:
And the valley of trouble for a door of hope. And GOD will take care of her again.
]
Hosea 2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
[
Note:
And at that day, she will call GOD Husband, and no more call HIM Master.
]
Hosea 2:17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
Hosea 2:18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
Hosea 2:19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
Hosea 2:20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
[
Note:
And GOD will marry Israel again, and they shall no longer be blinded.
]
Hosea 2:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
Hosea 2:22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
Hosea 2:23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
[
Note:
And so, when it all comes to the end, GOD will reclaim HIS people and marry Israel again.
]
Romans 11:9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
Romans 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
[
Note:
David said to let Israel’s blindness be a stumbling block; that they should not see the TRUTH, and make their load to be heavy. Israel fell away to satan before and if they know the TRUTH and still do not overcome him, that would be the unforgivable sin. This shows GOD’S mercy upon Israel.
]
Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Romans 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Romans 11:14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
Romans 11:15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
[
Note:
GOD’S Plan to save HIS children. Israel fell due to unbelief, so GOD used that to bring the gentiles to HIM. And when it is time for Israel to see, GOD will bring them to HIM also. GOD is in control and HE loves all of HIS children.
]
Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
[
Note:
If GOD grafts someone into the good Olive Tree, then they are holy also.
]
Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Romans 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Romans 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Romans 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Romans 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Romans 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Romans 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
[
Note:
Those with a good heart who love GOD and without malice, as a little child will make up the Olive Tree. Severity on those that are without love, goodness on those who love. And so, Israel’s blindness is temporary. So, the mystery is that GOD brought in the gentiles to the good Olive Tree, then CHRIST returns and Israel will be grafted back into the good Olive Tree as well.
]
Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Romans 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
[
Note:
This will happen in the Millennium and will not be complete until almost the end of the Millennium.
]
Romans 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
[
Note:
And so, the gentiles are grafted in, and the election was chosen before the foundation of the world, and Israel will be brought in before the end of the Millennium.
]
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
[
Note:
When GOD gives a gift, that gift will be used to do GOD’S Work. And if the person falls, GOD will bring him back to use that gift. This may be by discipline, for who HE loves, HE also chastises.
]
Romans 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Romans 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Romans 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
[
Note:
GOD is not partial to anyone. HE gives opportunity that all may repent and be saved.
]
Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Romans 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Romans 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Romans 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
[
Note:
Proverbs 1:1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
Proverbs 1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
Proverbs 1:3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
Proverbs 1:4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
Proverbs 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
Proverbs 1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Fear = morally reverence.
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Mercy = love.
And Finally:
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Romans 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Romans 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Romans 12:7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
Romans 12:8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Romans 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Romans 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Romans 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Romans 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Note: So, what manner of persons should we be?

And Why Did HIS Vineyard Bring Forth Wild Grapes?
Mark 12:1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
[
Note:
HE planted a Vineyard, and that Vineyard was Israel. HE put a wall around it to protect it. HE digged a place for the Wine, and built a tower for watchmen.
Husbandmen are those HE hires to take care of the Vineyard. It is usually customary for the owner of the property to provide the seed. When the harvest is complete, the owner gets one third and those who do the labor and the harvesting and works the Vineyard gets two thirds. FATHER wants HIS third.
]
Mark 12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
Mark 12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
Mark 12:4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
Mark 12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
[
Note:
All through the years HE would send the servants, HIS prophets to teach and to bring a harvest, but they would shamefully handle the prophets and kill some of them. The last prophet was John the Baptist.
]
Mark 12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
[
Note:
Isaiah 5:1 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
Isaiah 5:2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
Isaiah 5:3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
Isaiah 5:4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
Isaiah 5:5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
Isaiah 5:6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Isaiah 5:7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
]
Mark 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
Mark 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
[
Note:
They Crucified HIM.
]
Mark 12:9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
[
Note:
GOD’S election are going to take over the Vineyard.
]
Mark 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
Mark 12:11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
[
Note:
It is marvellous in our eyes, but not in the eyes of a bad fig. Through this comes Salvation and the victory for one and all times.
]
Mark 12:12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
[
Note:
And now we see who was responsible for the Vineyard bringing forth wild grapes. And we also see how GOD will reclaim HIS Vineyard. The devil and his offspring of vipers are trying to take what belongs to GOD, but GOD will take back what is HIS and will bring those responsible down to the pit.

These Little Ones [Part Two]
GOD Is A Divorcee!
Deuteronomy 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Deuteronomy 24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
Deuteronomy 24:3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
Deuteronomy 24:4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
[
Note:
The LAW says that if you divorce your wife that you CANNOT remarry her or be with her again! You CAN'T take her back once she is with another man! That is THE LAW!
]
Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
GOD Divorced Israel:
Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Israel Is No Longer Married To GOD And GOD Cannot Remarry Israel.
According to the Law, GOD divorced Israel and that is because Israel (and Judah) played the harlot by worshiping other gods and forming their own religions. Israel cheated on GOD! Therefore, since GOD divorced Israel and Israel was with another (worshiped satan), GOD cannot remarry Israel!
...Unless GOD dies.
When JESUS, which is GOD in the flesh (Immanuel, which is JESUS’ name means GOD WITH US!) died on the CROSS, Israel was free to remarry. So, now GOD can take her to wife because HE died and rose from the dead and lives again.
So, Israel can now be The Bride Of CHRIST!
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead ; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
[
Note:
When GOD compares marriage with CHRIST and the Church, HE is showing us how HE feels by relating it to something that produces great emotion in us. GOD has similar emotions as we, but GOD is Supernatural. Supernatural means more natural, therefore it goes without saying that GOD has more intense emotions than we do. So, when GOD compares HIS Love for us to marriage and family, we can see how HE feels when we go astray.
Also, when GOD is speaking of idolatry (idol worship), it is similar to the feeling that we would have in our families if our spouse committed adultery. Idolatry is the spiritual equivalent of physical adultery. Anything we put between us and GOD is idol worship. All idol worship is a type of satan worship. The worst idol worship of all is when GOD'S children fall away to satan at the end time when satan is cast out of Heaven to earth as antichrist. That is why the woman in Revelation is known as the great white whore. It’s GOD’S children formed into the one world system worshiping satan as their leader.
It is my opinion that since GOD divorced Israel, and also that the Church is The Bride Of CHRIST, that it may not necessarily be that GOD only compares HIS relationship to us with marriage and family, but that the very marriage and family love and relationships we all know so well are actually patterned after what we were, and will be familiar with again in Heaven as one big happy family.
Divorce is not a good thing, and many suffer as a result of it. It’s not just the husband and wife that suffer, especially if children are involved. Since JESUS died for our sins, if you divorced, when you repent and ask for forgiveness in JESUS NAME, your sin is washed away. It is as if you never divorced at all. But know true repentance. You can’t con GOD.
Divorce is NOT "The UNFORGIVABLE Sin".

Hosea 1:1 The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
[
Note:
Hosea means salvation.
The list of the kings of Judah and the king of Israel sets the timeframe of this prophecy.
Hosea was sent to and is of the ten tribes of Israel that went North after the Assyrian captivity. This took place from 689 B.C. to 611 B.C., a seventy eight year period. GOD had divorced Israel because of adultery as stated in Jeremiah 3:8.
Beeri means fountain, or producing well.
Joash means to who YAH hastens.
These are the kings of Judah during Hosea’s prophecy:
Uzziah means the strength of YAH.
Jotham means YAH’S upright.
Ahaz means possessor.
Hezekiah means the might of YAH.
The king of Israel during Hosea’s prophecy:
Jeroboam means his people are many (all ten tribes).
This fixes the time frame of Hosea’s prophecy.
Because it was a long distance from Samaria to Jerusalem to worship, Jeroboam formed two golden calves and told the people they could worship in Samaria instead of going the distance to Jerusalem. GOD does not put up with sacrilege, and this was sacrilege. This has to do with the scattering of Israel. But when you scatter, you are also sowing.
]
Hosea 1:2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.
[
Note:
Children of whoredoms do not know who their father is, and GOD wants HIS children to know HE is FATHER of all.
]
Hosea 1:3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
[
Note:
Gomer means completion.
Diblaim means double fig cake.
]
Hosea 1:4 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
[
Note:
Judah is knowledgeable of who they are, but Israel has no knowledge of their identity to this day. GOD was Blessing Jehu, as Jehu was out destroying baal worshipers, but Jehu, in 2 Kings 10:15 allowed Jahonadab, the son of rechab (the head kenite) into his chariot. That means Jehu brought the enemy into his chariot and befriended him. This would result in bad for Israel.
Jezreel means to scatter, and it also means to sow. As GOD scatters Israel, at the same time HE is sowing them in different places in the world. When they become aware of who they are, it will result in teachers of GOD’S WORD, and TRUTH will prevail. GOD avenges Jehu to know the scattering is taking place and the sowing is beginning.
]
Hosea 1:5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
[
Note:
And this happened in 2 Kings 10:11 through 15. You can’t destroy all of your enemy if they are in your chariot with you.
]
Hosea 1:6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
[
Note:
Loruhamah means not pitied, or not loved. GOD is saying that HE doesn’t love Israel anymore, because Israel cheated on HIM. GOD is a divorcee’, and HE is making it very clear that HE is happy that HE is divorced from Israel. So, HE scattered Israel and called this girl, not loved.
]
Hosea 1:7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
[
Note:
But by the Savior, The LORD JESUS CHRIST.
]
Hosea 1:8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
Hosea 1:9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
[
Note:
Israel was worshiping golden calves instead of going to Jerusalem to worship our FATHER. They were chasing other gods, playing the harlot. So, GOD said, they are not MY people.
]
Hosea 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
Hosea 1:11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
[
Note:
The ONE Head that they appoint over them is The LORD JESUS CHRIST. For great will be the day of the scattering and the sowing (Jezreel). The coming together of the house of Judah and the house of Israel is written of in the thirty seventh chapter of Ezekiel. The whole house of Israel was a dead and dry stack of bones. But GOD told Ezekiel to prophesy (preach or teach the TRUTH) unto the dead dry bones and Life came into those bones. This will happen during The LORD’S Day.
]
Hosea 2:1 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
[
Note:
It is no longer LoAmmi (not MY people), but Ammi (MY people), and it is no longer LoRuhamah (not loved), but Ruhamah (loved). Because you cannot blame the children for the parent’s sin. Even though children of whoredoms may not know who their father is, GOD knows WHO their FATHER is.
]
Hosea 2:2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
[
Note:
Tell the children to plead with their mother to stop committing adultery. This is related to the children going against antichrist. When they are thrown into the midst of the fire, a FIRE will come forth into the whole house of Israel (Ezekiel 5:1-4).
]
Hosea 2:3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
[
Note:
The famine of the end time is not for bread or for water, but for hearing the WORDS of The LORD.
]
Hosea 2:4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
[
Note:
Until they have a change of heart.
]
Hosea 2:5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
[
Note:
GOD is the provider. Any good that Israel has ever had was by GOD, not the impostor, who is antichrist.
]
Hosea 2:6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
[
Note:
GOD will blind her (Israel).
]
Hosea 2:7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
[
Note:
This is much like the prodigal son. He took his inheritance and left the family, but when he ran out of his inheritance, he lost everything and was empty. He realized that the Blessings come from home all along. So he repented and when he went home, his father welcomed him as though it was life from the dead.
]
Hosea 2:8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
[
Note:
GOD is the Giver of Blessings. When she turned from GOD, she lost everything. She had to chase her lovers and pay them. When she was empty, her lovers were nowhere to be found.
]
Hosea 2:9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
[
Note:
When GOD removes HIS Blessings, she will be desolate and naked.
]
Hosea 2:10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
[
Note:
GOD will catch her in the act, and she will pay for what she has done.
]
Hosea 2:11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
Hosea 2:12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
[
Note:
GOD will take away her Blessings and throw away her abominable things, and she will be desolate and naked. The devil and his evil ones are the beasts of the field.
]
Hosea 2:13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
[
Note:
She forgets about worshiping GOD properly and worships things like ishtar. Take it back to its roots and it’s baal worship.
]
Hosea 2:14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
[
Note:
GOD will make her hear the TRUTH.
]
Hosea 2:15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
[
Note:
And the valley of trouble for a door of hope. And GOD will take care of her again.
]
Hosea 2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
[
Note:
And at that day, she will call GOD Husband, and no more call HIM Master.
]
Hosea 2:17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
Hosea 2:18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
Hosea 2:19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
Hosea 2:20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
[
Note:
And GOD will marry Israel again, and they shall no longer be blinded.
]
Hosea 2:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
Hosea 2:22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
Hosea 2:23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
[
Note:
And so, when it all comes to the end, GOD will reclaim HIS people and marry Israel again.
]
Romans 11:9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
Romans 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
[
Note:
David said to let Israel’s blindness be a stumbling block; that they should not see the TRUTH, and make their load to be heavy. Israel fell away to satan before and if they know the TRUTH and still do not overcome him, that would be the unforgivable sin. This shows GOD’S mercy upon Israel.
]
Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Romans 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Romans 11:14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
Romans 11:15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
[
Note:
GOD’S Plan to save HIS children. Israel fell due to unbelief, so GOD used that to bring the gentiles to HIM. And when it is time for Israel to see, GOD will bring them to HIM also. GOD is in control and HE loves all of HIS children.
]
Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
[
Note:
If GOD grafts someone into the good Olive Tree, then they are holy also.
]
Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Romans 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Romans 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Romans 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Romans 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Romans 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Romans 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
[
Note:
Those with a good heart who love GOD and without malice, as a little child will make up the Olive Tree. Severity on those that are without love, goodness on those who love. And so, Israel’s blindness is temporary. So, the mystery is that GOD brought in the gentiles to the good Olive Tree, then CHRIST returns and Israel will be grafted back into the good Olive Tree as well.
]
Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Romans 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
[
Note:
This will happen in the Millennium and will not be complete until almost the end of the Millennium.
]
Romans 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
[
Note:
And so, the gentiles are grafted in, and the election was chosen before the foundation of the world, and Israel will be brought in before the end of the Millennium.
]
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
[
Note:
When GOD gives a gift, that gift will be used to do GOD’S Work. And if the person falls, GOD will bring him back to use that gift. This may be by discipline, for who HE loves, HE also chastises.
]
Romans 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Romans 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Romans 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
[
Note:
GOD is not partial to anyone. HE gives opportunity that all may repent and be saved.
]
Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Romans 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Romans 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Romans 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
[
Note:
Proverbs 1:1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
Proverbs 1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
Proverbs 1:3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
Proverbs 1:4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
Proverbs 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
Proverbs 1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Fear = morally reverence.
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Mercy = love.
And Finally:
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Romans 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Romans 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Romans 12:7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
Romans 12:8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Romans 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Romans 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Romans 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Romans 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Note: So, what manner of persons should we be?

And Why Did HIS Vineyard Bring Forth Wild Grapes?
Mark 12:1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
[
Note:
HE planted a Vineyard, and that Vineyard was Israel. HE put a wall around it to protect it. HE digged a place for the Wine, and built a tower for watchmen.
Husbandmen are those HE hires to take care of the Vineyard. It is usually customary for the owner of the property to provide the seed. When the harvest is complete, the owner gets one third and those who do the labor and the harvesting and works the Vineyard gets two thirds. FATHER wants HIS third.
]
Mark 12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
Mark 12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
Mark 12:4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
Mark 12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
[
Note:
All through the years HE would send the servants, HIS prophets to teach and to bring a harvest, but they would shamefully handle the prophets and kill some of them. The last prophet was John the Baptist.
]
Mark 12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
[
Note:
Isaiah 5:1 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
Isaiah 5:2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
Isaiah 5:3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
Isaiah 5:4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
Isaiah 5:5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
Isaiah 5:6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Isaiah 5:7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
]
Mark 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
Mark 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
[
Note:
They Crucified HIM.
]
Mark 12:9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
[
Note:
GOD’S election are going to take over the Vineyard.
]
Mark 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
Mark 12:11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
[
Note:
It is marvellous in our eyes, but not in the eyes of a bad fig. Through this comes Salvation and the victory for one and all times.
]
Mark 12:12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
[
Note:
And now we see who was responsible for the Vineyard bringing forth wild grapes. And we also see how GOD will reclaim HIS Vineyard. The devil and his offspring of vipers are trying to take what belongs to GOD, but GOD will take back what is HIS and will bring those responsible down to the pit.

These Little Ones [Part Two]
GOD Is A Divorcee!
Deuteronomy 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Deuteronomy 24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
Deuteronomy 24:3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
Deuteronomy 24:4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
[
Note:
The LAW says that if you divorce your wife that you CANNOT remarry her or be with her again! You CAN'T take her back once she is with another man! That is THE LAW!
]
Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
GOD Divorced Israel:
Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Israel Is No Longer Married To GOD And GOD Cannot Remarry Israel.
According to the Law, GOD divorced Israel and that is because Israel (and Judah) played the harlot by worshiping other gods and forming their own religions. Israel cheated on GOD! Therefore, since GOD divorced Israel and Israel was with another (worshiped satan), GOD cannot remarry Israel!
...Unless GOD dies.
When JESUS, which is GOD in the flesh (Immanuel, which is JESUS’ name means GOD WITH US!) died on the CROSS, Israel was free to remarry. So, now GOD can take her to wife because HE died and rose from the dead and lives again.
So, Israel can now be The Bride Of CHRIST!
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead ; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
[
Note:
When GOD compares marriage with CHRIST and the Church, HE is showing us how HE feels by relating it to something that produces great emotion in us. GOD has similar emotions as we, but GOD is Supernatural. Supernatural means more natural, therefore it goes without saying that GOD has more intense emotions than we do. So, when GOD compares HIS Love for us to marriage and family, we can see how HE feels when we go astray.
Also, when GOD is speaking of idolatry (idol worship), it is similar to the feeling that we would have in our families if our spouse committed adultery. Idolatry is the spiritual equivalent of physical adultery. Anything we put between us and GOD is idol worship. All idol worship is a type of satan worship. The worst idol worship of all is when GOD'S children fall away to satan at the end time when satan is cast out of Heaven to earth as antichrist. That is why the woman in Revelation is known as the great white whore. It’s GOD’S children formed into the one world system worshiping satan as their leader.
It is my opinion that since GOD divorced Israel, and also that the Church is The Bride Of CHRIST, that it may not necessarily be that GOD only compares HIS relationship to us with marriage and family, but that the very marriage and family love and relationships we all know so well are actually patterned after what we were, and will be familiar with again in Heaven as one big happy family.
Divorce is not a good thing, and many suffer as a result of it. It’s not just the husband and wife that suffer, especially if children are involved. Since JESUS died for our sins, if you divorced, when you repent and ask for forgiveness in JESUS NAME, your sin is washed away. It is as if you never divorced at all. But know true repentance. You can’t con GOD.
Divorce is NOT "The UNFORGIVABLE Sin".

Hosea 1:1 The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
[
Note:
Hosea means salvation.
The list of the kings of Judah and the king of Israel sets the timeframe of this prophecy.
Hosea was sent to and is of the ten tribes of Israel that went North after the Assyrian captivity. This took place from 689 B.C. to 611 B.C., a seventy eight year period. GOD had divorced Israel because of adultery as stated in Jeremiah 3:8.
Beeri means fountain, or producing well.
Joash means to who YAH hastens.
These are the kings of Judah during Hosea’s prophecy:
Uzziah means the strength of YAH.
Jotham means YAH’S upright.
Ahaz means possessor.
Hezekiah means the might of YAH.
The king of Israel during Hosea’s prophecy:
Jeroboam means his people are many (all ten tribes).
This fixes the time frame of Hosea’s prophecy.
Because it was a long distance from Samaria to Jerusalem to worship, Jeroboam formed two golden calves and told the people they could worship in Samaria instead of going the distance to Jerusalem. GOD does not put up with sacrilege, and this was sacrilege. This has to do with the scattering of Israel. But when you scatter, you are also sowing.
]
Hosea 1:2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.
[
Note:
Children of whoredoms do not know who their father is, and GOD wants HIS children to know HE is FATHER of all.
]
Hosea 1:3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
[
Note:
Gomer means completion.
Diblaim means double fig cake.
]
Hosea 1:4 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
[
Note:
Judah is knowledgeable of who they are, but Israel has no knowledge of their identity to this day. GOD was Blessing Jehu, as Jehu was out destroying baal worshipers, but Jehu, in 2 Kings 10:15 allowed Jahonadab, the son of rechab (the head kenite) into his chariot. That means Jehu brought the enemy into his chariot and befriended him. This would result in bad for Israel.
Jezreel means to scatter, and it also means to sow. As GOD scatters Israel, at the same time HE is sowing them in different places in the world. When they become aware of who they are, it will result in teachers of GOD’S WORD, and TRUTH will prevail. GOD avenges Jehu to know the scattering is taking place and the sowing is beginning.
]
Hosea 1:5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
[
Note:
And this happened in 2 Kings 10:11 through 15. You can’t destroy all of your enemy if they are in your chariot with you.
]
Hosea 1:6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
[
Note:
Loruhamah means not pitied, or not loved. GOD is saying that HE doesn’t love Israel anymore, because Israel cheated on HIM. GOD is a divorcee’, and HE is making it very clear that HE is happy that HE is divorced from Israel. So, HE scattered Israel and called this girl, not loved.
]
Hosea 1:7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
[
Note:
But by the Savior, The LORD JESUS CHRIST.
]
Hosea 1:8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
Hosea 1:9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
[
Note:
Israel was worshiping golden calves instead of going to Jerusalem to worship our FATHER. They were chasing other gods, playing the harlot. So, GOD said, they are not MY people.
]
Hosea 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
Hosea 1:11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
[
Note:
The ONE Head that they appoint over them is The LORD JESUS CHRIST. For great will be the day of the scattering and the sowing (Jezreel). The coming together of the house of Judah and the house of Israel is written of in the thirty seventh chapter of Ezekiel. The whole house of Israel was a dead and dry stack of bones. But GOD told Ezekiel to prophesy (preach or teach the TRUTH) unto the dead dry bones and Life came into those bones. This will happen during The LORD’S Day.
]
Hosea 2:1 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
[
Note:
It is no longer LoAmmi (not MY people), but Ammi (MY people), and it is no longer LoRuhamah (not loved), but Ruhamah (loved). Because you cannot blame the children for the parent’s sin. Even though children of whoredoms may not know who their father is, GOD knows WHO their FATHER is.
]
Hosea 2:2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
[
Note:
Tell the children to plead with their mother to stop committing adultery. This is related to the children going against antichrist. When they are thrown into the midst of the fire, a FIRE will come forth into the whole house of Israel (Ezekiel 5:1-4).
]
Hosea 2:3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
[
Note:
The famine of the end time is not for bread or for water, but for hearing the WORDS of The LORD.
]
Hosea 2:4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
[
Note:
Until they have a change of heart.
]
Hosea 2:5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
[
Note:
GOD is the provider. Any good that Israel has ever had was by GOD, not the impostor, who is antichrist.
]
Hosea 2:6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
[
Note:
GOD will blind her (Israel).
]
Hosea 2:7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
[
Note:
This is much like the prodigal son. He took his inheritance and left the family, but when he ran out of his inheritance, he lost everything and was empty. He realized that the Blessings come from home all along. So he repented and when he went home, his father welcomed him as though it was life from the dead.
]
Hosea 2:8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
[
Note:
GOD is the Giver of Blessings. When she turned from GOD, she lost everything. She had to chase her lovers and pay them. When she was empty, her lovers were nowhere to be found.
]
Hosea 2:9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
[
Note:
When GOD removes HIS Blessings, she will be desolate and naked.
]
Hosea 2:10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
[
Note:
GOD will catch her in the act, and she will pay for what she has done.
]
Hosea 2:11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
Hosea 2:12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
[
Note:
GOD will take away her Blessings and throw away her abominable things, and she will be desolate and naked. The devil and his evil ones are the beasts of the field.
]
Hosea 2:13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
[
Note:
She forgets about worshiping GOD properly and worships things like ishtar. Take it back to its roots and it’s baal worship.
]
Hosea 2:14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
[
Note:
GOD will make her hear the TRUTH.
]
Hosea 2:15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
[
Note:
And the valley of trouble for a door of hope. And GOD will take care of her again.
]
Hosea 2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
[
Note:
And at that day, she will call GOD Husband, and no more call HIM Master.
]
Hosea 2:17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
Hosea 2:18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
Hosea 2:19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
Hosea 2:20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
[
Note:
And GOD will marry Israel again, and they shall no longer be blinded.
]
Hosea 2:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
Hosea 2:22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
Hosea 2:23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
[
Note:
And so, when it all comes to the end, GOD will reclaim HIS people and marry Israel again.
]
Romans 11:9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
Romans 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
[
Note:
David said to let Israel’s blindness be a stumbling block; that they should not see the TRUTH, and make their load to be heavy. Israel fell away to satan before and if they know the TRUTH and still do not overcome him, that would be the unforgivable sin. This shows GOD’S mercy upon Israel.
]
Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Romans 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Romans 11:14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
Romans 11:15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
[
Note:
GOD’S Plan to save HIS children. Israel fell due to unbelief, so GOD used that to bring the gentiles to HIM. And when it is time for Israel to see, GOD will bring them to HIM also. GOD is in control and HE loves all of HIS children.
]
Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
[
Note:
If GOD grafts someone into the good Olive Tree, then they are holy also.
]
Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Romans 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Romans 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Romans 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Romans 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Romans 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Romans 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
[
Note:
Those with a good heart who love GOD and without malice, as a little child will make up the Olive Tree. Severity on those that are without love, goodness on those who love. And so, Israel’s blindness is temporary. So, the mystery is that GOD brought in the gentiles to the good Olive Tree, then CHRIST returns and Israel will be grafted back into the good Olive Tree as well.
]
Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Romans 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
[
Note:
This will happen in the Millennium and will not be complete until almost the end of the Millennium.
]
Romans 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
[
Note:
And so, the gentiles are grafted in, and the election was chosen before the foundation of the world, and Israel will be brought in before the end of the Millennium.
]
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
[
Note:
When GOD gives a gift, that gift will be used to do GOD’S Work. And if the person falls, GOD will bring him back to use that gift. This may be by discipline, for who HE loves, HE also chastises.
]
Romans 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Romans 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Romans 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
[
Note:
GOD is not partial to anyone. HE gives opportunity that all may repent and be saved.
]
Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Romans 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Romans 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Romans 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
[
Note:
Proverbs 1:1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
Proverbs 1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
Proverbs 1:3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
Proverbs 1:4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
Proverbs 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
Proverbs 1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Fear = morally reverence.
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Mercy = love.
And Finally:
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Romans 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Romans 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Romans 12:7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
Romans 12:8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Romans 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Romans 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Romans 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Romans 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Note: So, what manner of persons should we be?

And Why Did HIS Vineyard Bring Forth Wild Grapes?
Mark 12:1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
[
Note:
HE planted a Vineyard, and that Vineyard was Israel. HE put a wall around it to protect it. HE digged a place for the Wine, and built a tower for watchmen.
Husbandmen are those HE hires to take care of the Vineyard. It is usually customary for the owner of the property to provide the seed. When the harvest is complete, the owner gets one third and those who do the labor and the harvesting and works the Vineyard gets two thirds. FATHER wants HIS third.
]
Mark 12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
Mark 12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
Mark 12:4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
Mark 12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
[
Note:
All through the years HE would send the servants, HIS prophets to teach and to bring a harvest, but they would shamefully handle the prophets and kill some of them. The last prophet was John the Baptist.
]
Mark 12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
[
Note:
Isaiah 5:1 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
Isaiah 5:2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
Isaiah 5:3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
Isaiah 5:4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
Isaiah 5:5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
Isaiah 5:6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Isaiah 5:7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
]
Mark 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
Mark 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
[
Note:
They Crucified HIM.
]
Mark 12:9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
[
Note:
GOD’S election are going to take over the Vineyard.
]
Mark 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
Mark 12:11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
[
Note:
It is marvellous in our eyes, but not in the eyes of a bad fig. Through this comes Salvation and the victory for one and all times.
]
Mark 12:12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
[
Note:
And now we see who was responsible for the Vineyard bringing forth wild grapes. And we also see how GOD will reclaim HIS Vineyard. The devil and his offspring of vipers are trying to take what belongs to GOD, but GOD will take back what is HIS and will bring those responsible down to the pit.
