Matt 4:3b-6
Consider this:
Matt 14:15-21 Five loaves, two fish fed 5000 plus women and children
Matt 15:32-38 Seven loaves, a few fish. Fed 4000 plus women and children
Matt 16:9-10 Reminder of these two events
Matt 6:25-34 take no thought for the morrow what ye shall eat
Luke 12:29-31 Seek not what ye shall eat
Why is he doing all this?
Rev 13:17 That no man might buy or sell save he that hath the mark
*The reason Jesus is consistently showing the nation of Israel that he can, and will sustain them supernaturally is because there is coming a day in which they will have to trust that he will provide these things or else they will take the mark and end up worshiping the Antichrist
*4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but buy every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God
Quote from: Duet 8:3 Fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know that he might make thee to know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live
Prov 30:5 Every word of God is pure
Ps 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning
Do you have all the Words?
*Missing verses from modern Versions:
Matt 18:11, 17:21, 23:14, Mk 7:16, 9:44, 46, 11:26, 15:28, Lk 17:36, John 5:3-4, Acts 8:37, 15:34, 28:29 Rom 16:24
*If not completely omitted check the footnote to see if your version takes the stance of Satan in causing you to question whether it should really be in there.... “Yea hath God said?” Genesis 3:1
Job 23:12 I have esteemed the words of thy mouth more than my necessary food
John 14:23 If a man love me he will keep my words
Matt 4:4 Man doth not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God
*4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city & setteth him on the pinnacle of the temple
Detail: Holy City
Luke 4:9 and he brought him to Jerusalem (Holy City)
Neh 11:1 Jerusalem = Holy City
*4:6 Cast thyself down from hence (for it is written) he shall give his angels charge concerning thee. What’s missing?
Luke 4:9-10 Charge over thee to keep thee – what's missing?
Where was it written?
Ps 91:11-12 “in all thy ways”
John 8:29 The Father hath not left me alone for I do always those things that please him
By omitting “in all thy ways” (4 words) what he said is no longer a true statement
2 Cor 2:17 For we are not as many which corrupt the word of God
2 Cor 4:2 Handling the word of God deceitfully
*When is the proper timing for this event?
“Cast thyself down from hence” High in the sky down to earth
Acts 1:11 This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven
Acts 1:9 A cloud received him out of their sight
Matt 26:64 Sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of heaven
Mark 13:26 Son of man coming in the clouds with power and great glory
High place (right hand of God) to the ground – when? After he was seated
Matt 26:64 Hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of heaven
Sitting
Heb 10:12 But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever sat down at the right hand of God
TIMELINE
1 Cross 2 Seated 3 Coming
Luke 4:6 and in their hands, they shall bear the up [lest at any time (makes Ps 91:11-12 unconditional)] thou dash thy foot against a stone
When this event actually happens
Comes down from a high place and lands on the ground... This is what follows
Ps 91:12-13 Thou shalt tread upon the Lion...Dragon underfoot
Rev 12:9 The great dragon that old serpent
Gen 3:15 He (the seed of the woman) shall bruise thy head ( the serpent’s )
*So by telling Jesus to do this he is trying to get Jesus to come in the clouds of heaven before he has been offered for sins and has sat down at the right hand of God
One day he will come in the clouds but not out of order
So his response = Matt 4:7 “It is written” thou shalt not tempt the Lord your God
While we are here:
How have people tempted God?
Ex 17:1-3 Not content with present circumstances, Doubted God’s ability to provide
Num 21:5-6 In content = tempting God
Num 14:22 Tempted me these 10 times
*Solution for us
Heb 13:5 Be content with such things as ye have
1 Tim 6:8 With food and raiment let us therewith be content
*4:8 Again the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them and saith unto him all these things will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Luke 4:5-6 Shewed him all the kingdoms of the world (in a moment of time) and the devil said unto him all this power will I give thee and the glory of them (for that is delivered unto me and to whomever I will, I give it
The devil is:
The God of this world – 2 Cor 4:4
