Insulted, Mocked, and Beaten, by the Guards

Luke 22:63-65

This verse makes it clear what the guards are guarding, and it has nothing to do with the welfare of Jesus Christ. These guards are working for the head boss over all the guards in the whole district. They are guarding their community and do not want Christ to have any influence in it. In fact, they are beating Him, mocking Him, blindfolding Him, and insulting Him.

“The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating Him.
They blindfolded Him and demanded,
“Prophesy! Who hit you?”
And they said many other insulting things to Him.”
Luke 22:63-65

In this year 2022, the same thing is happening. Anyone who lives by the Spirit of Jesus Christ are experiencing abuse by the same people who are supposed to be guarding social standards. When I go shopping at Korgers the mocking, insults, emotional and mental “beating” occurs. It’s not by one or two rowdy and boisterous troublemakers, otherwise the store personnel (the guards) would not allow them to pester the shoppers that way. Instead, it come through many people through subtle but hurtful words and behaviors. The store management, on all levels, just turn their head and allows the insults, mocking, and “beating” to go on.

The crowds that insult, beat, and mock the Spirit of Christ are living by the inner presence of the beast that gives them what to say, do, think, and feel. They all say the same thing from one side of the store to the next, from one side of the city to the next, from one job to the next. They despise the Gospel of Jesus Christ and those who live for Jesus. When I worked as an employee, management personnel (the guards) are hostile to anyone who refuses to live by the inner presence that forms thoughts and emotions. The “guards” require adherence to the beast; it’s their unwritten policy. Those who dissent are allowed to be insulted, mocked, and “beaten” to berate the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

“Blindfolds” are put over the eyes of we who live by the Spirit of Jesus Christ in an attempt to set up roadblocks to proclaiming who is persecuting us. It’s not necessary to know personal names nor to identify individual people because it is the collective effort of those of the culture of the beast. The one persecuting us is the beast that has power over physiology to give people what to do and say. We who live by the Gospel of Jesus Christ knows who the persecutor is, even with a blindfold over the eyes to prevent the seeing of individual people.

The persecutors who mock, insult, and beat down Christians are living by the beast to receive the benefits of the flesh. They want all the benefits that comes from the one who has power over physiology. They thrive on the empowerment of uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and talents, amazing physical abilities, uncanny authority over others, fabricated emotions, etc. They thrive on being respected like a god from their colleagues. They thrive on discarding the need for Jesus Christ, they thrive on trampling the Holy Spirit. That is who they are, and they insult, mock, and beat those who choose to live for the Gospel of Christ.
