    1 Sam.8.18-20 "Tares"

    God let the nation of Israel to choose their king only after this curse similar to what Moses administered in Deut.30.15-20

    Here it is "protest solemnly unto them, and it is evident that Israel chose 'our king may judge us' and not God. In the Parable of the tares Israel is indicated as the tares that the enemy' Adversary slipped in. When Jesus was brought before Pilate we heard this nation or the 'Tares' shouting 'Away with him" They were vehement and nothing short of crucifixion would satisfy them, "Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar." Here we have the nub of God's warning. Now the text:

    " And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day./ Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;/That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles."

    Havig severed connections from God what the nation demanded was still holding true. They were sons of the devil as Jesus said in Jn.8.44. It was true at the time of Old Samuel and it was still the same under the pagan Rome. The field framed by the word of God beginning to sprout but the tares all stood up as one to affirm that in Satan they believed and it was implied 'no king but Caesar.'

    On Oct. 5 2023, some sons of Belial as their forefathers had done to Elisha in the time of kings mocked att some Christian pilgrims unprovoked and brazen in their lawlessness,-and it has been going on unreported and the same spirit to show who their father is,. There is a parallel kingdoms cheek by jowl as it were. This implacable bloodletting the Jews have been perpetrating on poor Gazans show how far apart are these two kingdoms.
