Scripture

Immediately after this, he got into a boat with his disciples and crossed over to the region of Dalmanutha.

~Mark 8:10, NLT

Quote

The devil is diabolical, purely evil, but he is not lazy. He is always busy.

~Ya’akov

In Mark 7:24 Jesus leaves Galilee and goes to Tyre and Sidon {Syria}. We do not know how long he stayed, but when He returned, he took the long route and went to the area of Decapolis, east of Galilee and Gentile territory. I have no doubt as to why Jesus did this and He did it more than once: He wanted a break from the obnoxious Pharisees and Scribes. The Sadduccees as a rule do not leave Jerusalem but the Pharisees and Scibes were in the Galilee region. What I want you to notice is that as soon as Jesus and His disciples landed in Dalmanutha, the Pharisees were there to greet him and to entrap Him.

These religious Jews were doing Satan’s work and Satan and evil are relentless. They are like the waves of the oceans; they just keep coming one after the other. You deal with one and as soon as it is settled, here comes another one. Satan’s quiver is never empty: it is full of fiery darts {arrows} and we best get our shields up because they are coming one after another. He never takes a day off. He never goes on vacation. He never relents. He never gives up or crawls in a hole. He is bold and brazen. Trump and his cabinet have uncovered billions of dollars that are being wasted daily. There are empty buildings in D.C. that are costing tax payers millions. The left is working tirelessly to undermine Trump and they have the media to back them. We have caught them red handed with their hand in the cookie jar but we have heard no confessions. We have seen no prosecutions and no one going to jail. They have the money and the energy to fight for control. Where does this relentless energy come from? I can tell you but you want like the answer. Satan is the mastermind. He uses people to do his bidding.

Don’t you know that Jesus got tired of the constant criticism, carping, faultfinding coming from the religious Jews. Everywhere He went {inside Israel’s borders} they were there waiting to entrap Him. Their goal was to destroy Him completely. Does that sound familiar? You are going to believe my next comment but nothing has changed. The media is owned by rich Jews who hate Jesus. They also hate Christians and the church and they lean toward Marxism. In the State of Israel, less than one percent are Christians. As a whole, they have rejected Christ and they have never relented in their persecution of His followers. I am not antisemitic: not all Jews are rich and not all hate Christians. There are messanic Jews and their are poor Jews. You can’t put them all in the same basket but it is the Sadducee that I fear. They have money and power.
