Luke 16:19 KJVS
“There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:”
Continuing on here in Luke Chapter 16 we see within this second parable Christ is still addressing the Pharisees who were covetous, and who were for the most part Kenites. These Pharisees for the most part, were made up of the polluted priesthood back in Christ’s time and fared sumptuously on the outside but inside were full of iniquity and hypocrisy (see verse 15 of this same chapter).
Luke 16:20-21 KJVS
“And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, [21] And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.”
In this parable also we see Lazurus who was the opposite of the rich man and who was a beggar that laid at the gate of the rich man, full of sores and desiring to be fed.
Lazurus in the Hebrew means Eleazar and we can read in Exodus chapter 6 verse 23 Eleazar was the third son of Aaron, who was put in charge of the priesthood in Numbers chapter 3 verse 32, only after his two elder brothers (Nadab and Abihu) were destroyed by our Heavenly Father because of the strange fire they offered before the Lord in Leviticus chapter 10.
I believe Lazurus here in Luke chapter 16 represents the resurrected priesthood after the order of Melchisedek (Hebrews chapter 7) which our Heavenly Father through His only begotten’s death and resurrection sent forth. This priesthood (after such order) was put in place over the order of Aaron which Christ the King of Righteousness who became our High Priest (Hebrews chapter 5) was made the Chief Cornerstone thereof (1st Peter Chapter 2 verses 4 through 7).
What did Jesus say to the Pharisees in Matthew chapter 21?
Matthew 21:42-45 KJVS
“Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? [43] Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. [44] And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. [45] And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.”
From the point of Jesus Christ resurrection, the Kingdom of God was taken from the vile seed of serpents who infiltrated (430 years prior in Ezra Chapter 8) and polluted the order of Aaron and who starved many by rejecting the Messiah Jesus Christ who fulfilled the Law and the Prophets.
The Kingdom of God haven been taken from the Pharisees (the blind guides Christ spoke about in Matthew chapter 23) was given to a nation which is Christianity that would go forth and bear much fruit for our Heavenly Father through Christ, and within that nation are those who have and will receive the first fruits of the Spirit, they are His chosen, His Elect.
John 15:15-16 KJVS
“Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. [16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”
Continuing on in Luke Chapter 16.
Luke 16:22 KJVS
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
Lazurus here in this parable was full of sores and was poor and needy in his stature here on earth, however as we move on in this parable, we see it wasn’t the case for him in Heaven. When Lazurus died in this parable he was taken by the angels to Abraham’s bosom while the rich man upon his death was buried.
Interesting to note: The Pharisees taught through their traditions that there were three places you could be taken upon your death: One being Abraham’s bosom, another under the throne of Glory, and the third being the Garden of Eden. Speaking of death they would say ” this day he sits in Abraham’s bosom; however, we know that he that is in paradise who obtains comfort through Jesus Christ who is Abrahams Seed is with our Heavenly Father.
Luke 16:23 KJVS
“And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.”
In hell, which is Hades in the Greek, and means grave, the rich man in this parable that represents a Kenite or anyone else who rejected or rejects Christ could see Lazurus (a true friend of Christ) far off in Abraham’s bosom. In our Heavenly Fathers Word in Galatians chapter 3 verses 26 through 28, we know that if you are IN CHRIST then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the Promise.
Luke 16:24 KJVS
“And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.”
The rich man was tormented in his shame of not repenting and receiving the fulfillment of the Law and Prophets in his life, asked father Abraham to have mercy on him. First of all, there is one who is the Father, and that one is God who you can only receive through Christ, and perhaps we can see this rich man address Abraham as their father in John Chapter 8.
John 8:39-44 KJVS
“They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. [40] But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. [41] Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. [42] Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. [43] Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. [44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
The Pharisees who were for the most part Kenites that strove against Christ back in Christ’s time (and that lineage still goes against Christ today) are of their father who is Satan and are without the Living Water who is Jesus Christ. Perhaps that is why the rich man who was in hell, desired Lazurus who was in paradise to dip his finger in water to cool his tongue.
Luke 16:25 KJVS
“But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.”
Many of those who are part of the true priesthood who were sent forth through the order of Melchisedek after Christ’s death and resurrection, received evil things such as rejection, persecution. Even many were slain for the Word of God, and the testimony which they held, which are many of the Zadok that are written within the fifth seal in Revelation chapter 6.
Revelation 6:9-10 KJVS
“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Yes, they are those of the 7000 Elect (Zadok) that have lived and died throughout the centuries (Prophets of old, Apostles and such) which have gone back to our Heavenly Father after finishing the testimonies they held.
Many of them were used to write the Word of God, and to testify the good news who is Jesus Christ, who is the fulfiller of not only the Law and the Prophets but also the Gospels and the Epistles which make up our Heavenly Fathers Words. In Heaven they are comforted, but those who find themselves on the other side of the gulf in hell (Hades) have to this day much torment.
Abraham in this parable goes on to explain to the rich man his unfortunate predicament.
Luke 16:26 KJVS
“And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.”
This of course is in Heaven, and it is before the Millennium (the Day of our Lord which is 1000 years) takes place, and Abraham explains to the one in torment, that there is a great gulf fixed between him and Lazarus. This word gulf means chasm which is a medical word that means wound.
The richman responds to Abraham in the next verse.
Luke 16:27-29 KJVS
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: [28] For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. [29] Abraham saith unto him, they have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
The Pharisees back in the day and the Kenites even to this day, have the Law and Prophets which Christ can only fulfill. Did these Kenites back in Christ’s time who were made up of the polluted priesthood, and even the Kenites today who sit in their synagogues listen to Moses and Prophets who have foretold of Christ’s fulfillment of the first advent?
No.
Luke 16:30-31 KJVS
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. [31] And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
One has rose from the dead, and He is Jesus Christ who of course fulfilled the Law and the Prophets and has given us the good news of the Gospels and much richness through the Epistles, so we may understand all that has to be fulfilled before He returns.
He became our High Priest who re-established a priesthood that is under Him with an eternal covenant and His order. Let them hear Him even today and let them hear Him even through those faithful stewards who continue in Him, whom He has also chosen (Luke Chapter 10 verses 1 through 24); so, they may not come to that place, miserable and poor full of torment.
The end.
