I have been reading some comments about Luke 11 here and have one thing to say. These bible words are pretty plain and we need to read them and put them to work. Not dream up some weird allegories which are confusing. The key of knowledge is obtained by fearing God and doing the works he has given for us to do.
When the spirit of idolatry is gone out of the Jewish nation by means of the Babylonian captivity, the Jewish nation is now free from idolatry today. The spirit of idolatry walketh through the abode of demons, seeking rest, and findeth none, the spirit of idolatry saith, I will return into the nation of Israel from whence I came out; and when the spirit of idolatry is come, he findeth the Jewish nation empty, swept, and garnished because of the ministry of John the Baptist and Jesus. Then the spirit of idolatry goes, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of the Jewish nation is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto "this wicked generation" (Race), Matthew 12:43-45.
Regarding this prayer in Luke 11:2-
1. There has been and continues to be a great err by pastor's in referring to this prayer as the lord's prayer;
2. This is the disciples prayer in reference to the kingdom of heaven that Jesus was prepared to usher in during his early ministry, but was rejected by his people, the Jews ( John 1:11-14);
3. Now this kingdom will be ushered in after the 2nd advent called the millennial reign of Christ. Jesus stated in verse 2 when ye pray (ye=disciples);
4. Jesus never had to ask for forgiveness of trespasses or sins.
This prayer is also found in Matthew 6:9-13.
I am afraid that my intellect is sorely lacking as I can hardly understand some of these comments, but that is my shortcoming. However, what I do understand and I do believe is that, even over the many centuries since the writing of this Gospel, it is almost like Jesus is talking to the generation of today, poised to take over, when the fortunate among us receive His glory.
So we see that the off spring generation that he is speaking to are kenites from 1 chronicles 2:55. Kenites translated are "sons of cain" as you go through the word and see that 2 of every flesh were on the boat of Noah and watch through the scriptures you notice that keeping track of the house of Rechab you can see here in this verse they went from labor workers helping the Priest to even moving into the church and at the end became a portion of the priest that kill Christ and so it was written in Genesis 3:15 the controversy of the seeds began and the statement " and thou ("seed" that translates generations not yet born.)the kenites or satans children killed Christ and were killling prophets and men of God all through the generations.
Just to point out verse 50 "foundation of the world" here is "cast down overthrow"and the generation the "off spring".this speaking of the katabole from the great war where satan who formed a system and took a third of Gods children "stars" and cast them to the earth. The ones spoken of in the Parable of the Sower in Matt. 13. He, Jesus explains it at the end 37 thru 41. Also in Matthew 13:35 foundation there is cast down overthrow.
What do I think of this verse? First of all you have to understand the 'Historical Context' of Jesus time. Where did their teaching come from, starting from when they started school and going forward. Where did Jesus get his education from as a young boy and through his school years? When you can fill in this information, then you will BEGIN to understand what he met by this statement. Let me give you just one example. When Jesus was with his parents when they went to Jerusalem and it says he CONFUONDED the leaders. What is interesting here is that he hadn't yet been ANOINTED for the ministry, so here again you must understand background to understand why this happened.
as you can see in other version their bible says.. "on the contrary" - when you dont study the bible well.. using the word contrary you will not be aware that the bible says.. with the previous verse(27) - that we that study or hear the word of God is blessed than mary..
I want to respond to Lynette's comment about Luke 11:2.
I believe it is in the Book of Mathew Chapter 6: 9-13, that the version of Our Lord's prayer which ends with ''for thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen'' can be found
I thought this was the King James Version. The Lord's Prayer ends with "for thine is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen"
I don't understand why everyone wants to remove that last line from the Bible.
