Бог је Створитељ неба и Земље и све је унутра. Nothing is created outside God. Therefore the heaven and the earth and all there is within is God’s possession and no one else’s. God is the Husbandman and has given the management of the vineyard to man. Међутим, у рајском врту, man chose to no longer believe and obey God, but the devil and to do his will. And many still chose to believe and obey the devil, despite the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. But although many people keep serving the devil through sin and empowering him, it is still God, who is the Owner and shall judge everyone according to their works. God has this right, без обзира на то шта људи кажу. God is the Husbandmen and the earth is the vineyard and God still sends His servants in the vineyard, despite the wicked husbandmen. But as the wicked husbandmen, who are sons of the devil, treated the prophets and the Son of God in the Old Covenant and the sons of God in the New Covenant (и мужјаци и жене), the wicked husbandmen still treat the sons of God, because the darkness can’t stand the light. Који се и даље усуђује да ради у винограду?
Abel was killed because of his righteousness
Зато је и премудрост Божија рекла, Послаћу им пророке и апостоле, а неке од њих ће побити и прогонити: Да крв свих пророка, која је проливена од постанка света, може бити потребно од ове генерације; Од крви Авељеве до крви Захарије, који је пропао између олтара и храма: заиста вам кажем, То ће се захтевати од ове генерације (Луке 11:49-51)
Због тога, гле, Шаљем вам пророке, и мудраци, и писари: а неке од њих убићете и разапети; а неке од њих бичећете у својим синагогама, и гони их од града до града: Да дође на вас сва праведна крв проливена на земљи, од крви праведног Авеља до крви Захарије сина Варахијиног, кога убисте између храма и олтара (Маттхев 23:34-35)
Abel was the first person, who was killed because of his righteousness. The righteousness of Abel revealed the unrighteousness of Cain. The sacrifice of Abel was accepted by God, but the sacrifice of Cain was not accepted by God, and because of that Cain became very angry.
И временом се то и догодило, да је Кајин донео од плода земље жртву Господу. И Абел, донео је и од првенца свог стада и од сала његовог. И Господ је имао поштовање према Авељу и његовом приносу: Али према Кајину и његовој понуди није имао поштовања.
И Кајин се веома разгневио, и лице му паде. И рече Господ Кајину, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him (Генесис 4:3-7)
God confronted Cain and asked, зашто је био љут (гнев) and why his countenance fell. Then God warned Cain of the sin he was about to commit, by giving him a choice to do good or do evil.
If Cain would choose to do well, he would not give in to his anger and would rule over his feelings of anger and because of that, he wouldn’t sin.
But if Cain chose to do not well, and give in to his anger, then he would open the door for sin and sin would rule over him, уместо обрнуто.
God warned Cain and the consequences of his decision, but it was up to Cain to decide. Would Cain rule over his anger or would Cain allow the temporary feelings of anger to rule over him and bear the fruit of sin in his life?
Cain didn’t listen to God’s warning but rejected the warning of God. Instead of submitting to the words of God and choosing to do good, Cain rejected God’s warning and yielded to the will of his flesh and gave into his feelings of anger and allow the anger to rule over him and so Cain slew Abel, so that the righteousness of Abel would not accuse him anymore.
But the blood of righteous Abel bore witness of the sin of Cain and cried from the earth unto God (Генесис 4:8-16)
The prophets were killed because they spoke the righteous words of God
Abel was not the only one, who was killed because of his righteousness, which became visible through his sacrifice. It was not only his blood that cried from the earth unto God. Пророци, who God had sent and walked righteously before the face of God according to His will and spoke the righteous words of God and revealed the sin and iniquity of the people and convicted the people of their sin and called the people to repentance, were also killed by the people.
The true prophets of God were killed, so that the people of God could do evil and live the way they wanted to live according to their own will, without being harassed and accused by the prophets of God and without feeling guilty.
The people loved to hear the false prophets, who prophesied according to their own insights and from their own will, пожуде, and desires and therefore prophesied lies and peace, while there was no peace, and approved the sin of the people, so that the people could live according to their own will.
Zachariah was the last prophet of the Old Covenant, who was killed between the altar and the temple.
The message of Zachariah was a hard message with the purpose to turn the people from their evil ways and their evil doings (дела) and repent and serve the Lord by keeping His commandments, so that the people would be saved.
But the people didn’t want to hear the words of God, which were spoken through the mouth of Zachariah and so they killed Zachariah, so that the people wouldn’t be confronted by Zachariah with their evil ways and their evil doings and no longer be accused, but continue their own way.
Исус Христ, син Божији, was killed because of His righteousness
Свет вас не може мрзити; али Мене мрзи, јер сведочим о томе, да су њихови радови зли (Јохн 7:7)
Исус Христ, Син живог бога, was the last One of the Old Covenant and the first One of the New Covenant, who was killed because of His righteousness by the house of Israel. Jesus did good and only spoke the words of God and preached the message of repentance and brought the Kingdom of God to the children of Israel.
Although Jesus was a Man of compassion, Jesus didn’t consider the feelings and emotions of the carnal people, but Jesus spoke the words of God, despite the consequences and the persecution of people.
Jesus experienced persecution by the people, who looked sincere, побожан, and religious outwardly but were wicked inwardly (Прочитајте такође: Ко је заиста Исус Христ? и Исусе, a Man of compassion).
Људи, who looked sincere and religious from the outside, but were evil on the inside, were convicted by the righteousness of Jesus of their evil works and walk.
Although they belonged to the house of Israel and many of them were appointed as leaders of the house of Israel, they had the nature of the devil and listened to their father, ђаво, and did his will and works and because of that, they walked in darkness in his will (Прочитајте такође: Воља Божја вс воља ђавола).
They tried to find a way to get rid of the Person, who accused them and convicted them of their sins.
They followed the example of Cain, who killed Abel, and the example of their fathers, who killed the prophets, and got rid of the righteousness of Jesus Christ, by sentencing Jesus to death, so that Jesus wouldn’t be a threat to them anymore and Jesus wouldn’t testify of their evil works and they wouldn’t be accused anymore, but they could continue their evil works.
The sons of God were persecuted and many of them were killed because of their righteousness
And as they killed Abel, пророци, and the Son of God, because of their righteousness, they also silenced and persecuted and many sometimes even killed the sons of God of the New Covenant because of their righteousness in Christ (Ох. 2 Коринћанима 5:21)
Свет се није променио, nor is the ruler of this world. Therefore the world shall still silence and persecute and sometimes even kill the sons of God when they preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ and the words and will of God.
The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, праведност, и од пресуде
Ако вас свет мрзи, Знате да ме је мрзело пре него што те мрзе. Ако сте били од света, свет би волео своје: Али зато што ниси од света, Али изабрао сам те из света, зато вас свет мрзи. Сећате се Речи коју сам вам рекао, Слуга није већи од господара. Ако су ме прогонили, Они ће вас такође прогонити; Ако су ми задржали изреку, они ће и они задржати ваше. Али све ове ствари ће вам учинити због мене како се зовем, јер не знају да ме није послао. Да нисам дошао и разговарао им о њима, нису имали греха: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hateth Me hateth My Father also (Јохн 15:18-23)
Духа Светога, који пребива у новом стварању, осуђује свет на грех, праведности, и од пресуде. Стога оне, who belong to the world and obey the ruler of the world and persevere in sin and live in darkness, can’t stand the light and can’t be in the presence of those, who are born of God and belong to Christ and have the Holy Spirit abiding in them, because the righteousness of God testifies that their works are evil (Ох. Јохн 7:7; 16:8-11)
There shall be people, who shall be convicted, Духом Светим, of their sins and iniquities and by faith in Jesus Christ repent and be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit, so that by faith and regeneration in Christ, they shall be saved from death and shall no longer be a slave of sin and death (Прочитајте такође: Оклоп таме и Оклоп светлости)
But there shall also be people, who shall be convicted, Духом Светим, of their sins and iniquities, but shall refuse to repent because of their stubbornness and hardened heart, and therefore they shall feel uncomfortable in the presence of Christians and can’t be in their presence and shall become angry and walk away or accuse and persecute them, so that they will no longer testify of their evil works and they won’t feel condemned and guilty and can continue their evil works.
Do you still dare to work in the vineyard?
If the prophets, Jesus the Son of God and the new creations; the sons of God would have considered the feelings and emotions of people and spoke the words the people wanted to hear, as so many preachers do today, the prophets wouldn’t be killed, Jesus would not have been crucified and the disciples and apostles would not have been persecuted and died a martyr’s death.
Следећи Исус коштаће вас све, коштаће те живота. Are you willing to give up your life and be a witness of Jesus Christ? Are you a brave soldier of Jesus Christ? Do you dare to preach the uncompromised gospel of Jesus Christ that calls to repentance, отклањање греха, and saves and changes lives, and makes people righteous and walk in righteousness? Do you still dare to work in the vineyard?
