"#Luke 17: #Navigating #Stumbling #Blocks, #Forgiveness, and #Faith"

Join us as we delve into Luke 17 and explore Yahusha’s teachings about the challenges and lessons we face as believers.
1. Stumbling Blocks Here are some examples:
* False Teachings: Introducing doctrines that contradict the teachings of Yahuah can lead believers astray.
* Hypocrisy: Leaders think they must be righteous, but they are just as fallible as the rest of us without the Torah written in our hearts.
* Temptation: Encouraging or enticing others to engage in sinful behaviors.
* Discouragement: Speaking negatively or discouragingly
* Bad Example: Living a life that contradicts the teachings of Yahusha
2. Forgiveness Yahusha teaches us to forgive our brother seven times a day, but only after he admits and repents—not before you anticipate he will repent.
3. Faith and Belief We hope to receive the understanding to move mulberry trees and heal others. It's important to note that healing others often requires belief on the part of the person being healed. If you know more about this issue, please comment below.
4. Gratitude and Healing Only one of the ten lepers healed returned to thank Yahusha, to which He replied, "Your belief has made you well." This makes me wonder what happened to the nine who did not return. Did they remain healed, or not?
5. The Reign of Yahuah The reign of Yahuah does not come with intense watching. Haven't we all been programmed to watch intently? We are given some signs and told these signs are for us to know the times, not to worry. Worry causes fear, which leads to a PTSD plague engulfing the earth. Those of us walking around without fear will soon stand out completely from those who took the mark.
6. The Taken and the Left Two are sleeping; one is taken. Many think this supports the Jesuit teaching of the rapture. However, when separating the wheat from the chaff, the chaff is gathered first and tossed into the fire. Just a thought to ponder.
7. The Eagle and the Body The eagle is a bird of stature but also a predator. Why is it gathering where the body is? In this context, Yahusha tells the story, and the disciples ask, "Where?" It seems they are asking where the ones taken are being taken to. Yahusha responds by saying they are taken to where the eagles gather. This response suggests a place of judgment or significant gathering, highlighting the importance of being spiritually prepared.
Reflection:
Luke 17 challenges us to consider our actions and attitudes towards others, the nature of faith, and our understanding of Yahuah’s Kingdom. By examining these teachings, we gain deeper insights into living a life of faith, forgiveness, and readiness for the coming of Yahuah’s reign.
Scriptural Insights:
* Luke 17:34-37: "I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left. 'Where, Lord?' they asked. He replied, 'Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.'"
