Pharisees have a problem with preparation, they do not cleanse the within of the cup and plate.
They make up interesting dishes, with all manner of ingredients, but leave the other undone, which is the correct judgement, the love of God.
A dinner with love:
Proverbs 15:17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Luke 11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
Now Jesus goes on to describe these who appear to prepare nice meals and interesting b its to bite, but they only appear righteous on the outside, they forgot the inside and to cook it to the correct temperature and with the MAIN INGREDIENT...
Matthew 23:24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Here is the way to cook and prepare a meal for SUPPER.
By very hot fire, all the world is consumed, and to sampole the meal at supper, and to not be sampled as part of that melting, what persons we ought to be in all Holy conversation and GODLINESS...
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
So here it is, the MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB, clothed in righteousness, and the flesh of kings, and the flesh of all men are the meal for all those who fail to attend the Supper of the Lamb..
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
So much for the ingredients of the Pharisees, they become the ingredients, as their words fade as the flower of grass is what man is. ]
But the words of our God prevail and stand forever, to OBEY THE TRUTH, to LOVE SINCERELY WITH A PURE HEART, or continue to hear the CORRUPTERS....
Isaiah 40:5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
I forgot to mention the idea of man to decorate with a selection of gold and jewels?
Their gold is cankered and the rust of them is a witness against them, and the meal is their flesh which they shall eat as fire, and as a jewel of gold in a swines nose, so is their fair speeches without discretion, as testified, they do not serve the Lord but their OWN BELLY.....
James 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Proverbs 11:22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
Romans 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
