A Prophet & his Country in the Bible



A Prophet & his Country
in the Bible




It is written in Luke 17: 26~30 that the day of the Second Coming will be like the days of Noah and Lot.

In the times of Noah, Lot, and Jesus’ first coming, the truth was proclaimed countless times, but no one paid any attention.

Rather, the people who proclaimed the truth were called heretics.

Jesus said, “No prophet is accepted in his hometown” (Mt 13:57, Lk 4:24).

  • Mt 13:57
So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.”

  • Lk 4:24
Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.

What is today’s time of Revelation like?
How about for promised pastor, in this era?
No prophet is accepted  in his own country, Korea of today.

Why did Jesus point out that a prophet has no honor or respect in his hometown?
It is because its people continued to treat him as a person that they used to know before he became a prophet.

Although the prophet’s physical appearance may be the same as the time before the Lord chose him to be with him, his heart and his thoughts are the heart and the thoughts of the Lord, contained in a new bowl.

And because he speaks the knowledge and the thoughts and the words of the Lord that are different from their own, they do not welcome him or lift him up.

This is because they still consider the prophet as a person that they used to know. They persecute him because he speaks what is different to their knowledge and opinion.

Just like the bowl that holds the rice is called a rice bowl and the glass that holds the wine is called a wine glass, the heart that holds the revelation of Jesus gives the revelation.
