ATONEMENT?

Atonement? Atoned: Not in his regal spiritual flesh garbed, he received their whips across his back first by Pilate, in cowardice, scourged; their spit, not spittle, spat in his face, plucked, his beard, with hard slaps followed by arrogant barbs... To all bystanders--'Disgraced', This man meek and humble. Sent to save our human race from eternal death... "Pilate went outside again and said to them: “See! I bring him outside to you in order for you to know that I find no fault in him.”" "And Pilate said to them: “Look! The man!” "However, when the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted: “To the stake with him! To the stake with him!" Their violent command... Yes, the heavens watched; His Father angered as "soldiers braided a crown of thorns" to "put it on his head", "clothed him with a purple robe," instead of acknowledging his demeanor as one by graciousness led, since bred billions of years previously as an Almighty's Son--His miracles proved. Yes, He was Jah's 'Chosen' One. A voice from heaven three times in emphasis stated His approval. Related once by John the Baptist heard: "Look! Also, a voice from the heavens said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.” Matt. 3:17. Peter, James, and John too witnessed Christ's validation with these words: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved. Listen to him.”" Matt. 17:5... For to me he is wholeheartedly dedicated. And third heard by a crowd, out loud, Jehovah spouted His Son's actions to onlookers, I reiterate, also proud: Jesus stated: "Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have glorified it and will glorify it again.” John 12:28. Yet, the soldiers in mock tried to Christ aggravate; "kept coming up to him and saying: “Greetings, you King of the Jews!”" In imitation of their father: "the god of this system of things" who "has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through." 2 Cor. 4:4. This travesty against 'righteousness' and 'holiness' by Satan, his once spirit 'brother', centuries ago in rebellion begun instigated this abuse against worshippers of Jehovah. For them to like him forfeit a 'loyal' stand. His methods calling into play deceit by 'lies'. Appearances deceptive. Global subterfuge: "For such men (Satan's disciples) are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps disguising himself as an angel of light. It is therefore nothing extraordinary if his ministers also keep disguising themselves as ministers of righteousness. But their end will be according to their works." "For God is the one who said: “Let the light shine out of darkness,” and he has shone on our hearts to illuminate them with the glorious knowledge of God by the face of Christ." 2 Cor. 4:6. "This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ." John 17:3. And yet: "The chief priests answered (Pilate): “We have no king but Caesar.” Without a thought twice... Now this King Risen will execute judgment first upon religious leaders who today practice this same vice: "Adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is making himself an enemy of God." James 4:4. For did not Jesus say: “My Kingdom is no part of this world. If my Kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my Kingdom is not from this source.” John 18:36. Yes, as in "one hour", Christ will suddenly take vengeance on behalf of his Father's name, reputation; His Sovereignty reclaimed. Then the world rulers will instantly feel that they made a mistake; though will they feel shame: Foretold. Proclaimed: “And the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality with her and lived with her in shameless luxury will weep and beat themselves in grief over her when they see the smoke from her burning. They will stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and say: ‘Too bad, too bad, you great city, Babylon you strong city, because in one hour your judgment has arrived!’" "Yes, in her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.”" Rev. 18:9, 10, 24. Atoned will be those valuing 'humility's worth... Those who 'know' to: "Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, Who observe his righteous decrees. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you will be concealed on the day of Jehovah’s anger." Zeph. 2:3. Depending upon our actions, motivations. And to what degree: "After the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they came together in one group. ( Though, before they fought in disagreement.) And one of them, versed in the Law, tested him (Jesus) by asking: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’" Any acting against these teachings will soon not find themselves in glorious bereavement... John 19; 2 Cor. 11:13-15.
