(Matthew 27: 1-10)
When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
The high
priest, elders, and Judas Iscariot were making a deal to sell Jesus for 30
silver. However, Judas Iscariot returned the money. "I have sinned in that
I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? See thou
to that."
Judas Iscariot again took the money, threw it into the sanctuary, and went back and hung himself.

Therefore,
even today, the Bible shows that those who sell Jesus unrighteously will
eventually die. It is Satan who sells Jesus. All those who do not dwell in
Jesus' words are like Satan. Jesus gave freedom from the law because he was
trying to keep people back in the law.
The word
"price of injustice" is a shepherd who accepts money from believers,
and God foreshadows Judas Iscariot for the sins they will receive. They say
that paying tithes or offerings before God is an example of serving God. When
Jesus comes, the word we give to God is not to say money, but to give risen
spirit as a born again.
Legal people
think that something must be given to God.
The church says: When it comes to "believers of Jesus paying tithes or offerings," the church says it wasn't forced, it was done by believers. They put the blame on the believers. Church operating budgets are needed, but they are telling tithes on the basis of the law.

If we look at
the Bible and see only the wrong actions of Judas Iscariot, this is a history
study of what happened between God and the people of Israel. What must be
realized through Judas Iscariot is that the high priests and elders unjustly
bought the innocent blood at a price, and blame it on Judas Iscariot. Likewise,
today the church puts believers in danger that they should pay tithes to God on
the basis of the law. He says that the church has never been forced.
You should
know that this is what the Bible says to Judas Iscariot, and to those shepherds
and saints who believe in God today. The members of the church went into Jesus
Christ and were born again and said they were out of the law, but they are
returning to the law in the end. Who is responsible for it? They should know
that, like Judas Iscariot, that responsibility is to blame the believers.
Judas Is not
trying to use the silver 30 elsewhere. He realizes the mistake and throws the
money back into the sanctuary and comes out. Because the high priests and
elders were always the ones who had been given the offering, Judas Iscariot
threw the silver 30 back into the sanctuary. What we need to realize from this
statement is that God does not want the material of the world. God wants the
dead spirit to come back to life. Judas Iscariot has chosen to die on his own.
The root
cause of all this is money. Money is what makes a person proud and brings
arrogance and disobedience. Therefore, the truth of God is not accepted by such
people. Therefore, today some churches will say that the church building is
called a temple, so that it may be done by law.
『 the chief priests
took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the
treasury, because it is the price of blood. 』 The priest gave the
silver 30 that Judas Iscariot threw and said, "This is the price of
blood." It means that it has nothing to do with them. The money that
caused Judas Iscariot to shed Jesus on the cross and died means the price of
blood. In other words, the priests are looking at the same as the 30 silver and
Jesus. Silver 30 means woman. Today it is a church without the word of truth.
Saying they believe in Jesus, they are churches that are still in the law.
Those who do not realize this are blind men. In John 9:41
『Jesus said unto them, If ye
were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin
remaineth. 』 In Isaiah 1:12, 『When
ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my
courts? 』.God is speaking for those who think it is
faith in God to go back and forth through a church built of buildings, .
After Judas
Iscariot brought the silver 30 back to the sanctuary and left, the priests and
elders gathered to discuss this money. However, the high priest or elders said
that it was not right to put the silver 30 in the temple (that is, the vault in
the sanctuary). The reason is that they think Jesus is heresy to the priests.
They were thinking that it was not right to put the silver 30 in the holy place
of God, because the sanctuary is a holy place for offering rituals to God. They
were blind people who did not know Jesus.
If so, they
say that they would buy a potter's field with this money and make it a
traveler's cemetery. Why? In Isaiah 64: 8, 『But
now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we
all are the work of thy hand. 』The potter is God. It is
said that God made man by hand.
Then, why did
the high priest or elders buy the field of God with 30 silver? High priests and
elders are false shepherds. God's field is God's people. It means that the high
priest or elders bought God's people. Physically, they bought a field of soil,
but spiritually they bought God's people with this money. They spiritually
drive the Saints to death. It means that it begins with the Holy Spirit and
ends with the body.
It is said
that the high priest or elders gave 30 silver and bought the field of God to be
the graveyard of the stranger. They will be like wolves trying to kill those
who are spiritually born again. Even today, false shepherds deceive the saints
and return them to the law.
The apostle
Paul says that he bought the church by the blood shed by Jesus Christ, the Son
of God. Since God gives life, we come to this world as a traveler, then we are
born as God's life and call the names of God and Jesus to go to our homeland,
Heaven, and become one with God in Christ. However, there is a place for the
traveler to go through, which is the church. The church is not a building, but
a Holy Spirit dwelling in the regenerated.
So the Saints
gather in the building to praise God and listen to the Word of Life. The church
is where the Saints gather. It is because the power of God is given where the
saints gather. The building without the saints is not a church. The Saints
gather to hear the word of God's life and go to heaven, the home of eternal
life, and as the apostle Paul points out, the false shepherds are telling the
wrong word. That is why the Saints may not be able to go to Heaven, which is
their hometown.
Then why did the church become a traveler's cemetery? To be born again is to be born again. In Romans 6: 3-6
Then why did the church become a traveler's cemetery? To be born again is to be born again. In Romans 6: 3-6
『 Know ye not,
that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his
death? Therefore
we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life. For if we have
been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the
likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man
is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth
we should not serve sin. 』
To be born
again, we must be united with the death of Jesus. The church is also a place
where the old man becomes the grave of the dead and receives the glory of resurrection.
However, we must come to this world as a traveler and be born again in the Word
of Truth in the church and go to our hometown of Heaven, our original home of
God. However, it is said that many churches today do not have the Word of God's
truth, so the traveler is not born again, and eventually only serves as the
traveler's cemetery. The reason is that our old people don't die, they are
false shepherds who say, "If people believe in Jesus, they will be
saved." They become the grave because they believe that they can be saved
by praying for forgiveness and repenting of their sins every day, even though
they believe that they have been born again by the Holy Spirit.
『And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might
break my covenant which I had made with all the people. And it was broken in that day: and so the
poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the
LORD. And I said unto them, If ye think
good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price
thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said unto me, Cast
it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the
thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. 』 (Zechariah 11: 10-13) God abolished the
covenant, "by cutting the stick of grace (new covenant: Christ) in order
to destroy the covenant (law) established with Israel," and the audience
(the poor sheep) heard and was delighted, A value of 30 was given.
『The
field is called the field of blood』 The meaning of this
word does not mean the field in the land of Israel. The field means the people
of God who are in the truth that we believe in today, and when we say the field
of blood, it means the eternal life, the life of God. Therefore, the field of
blood means the person who believes in the eternal life, the life of God, in
the word of truth by realizing the word of parable today. The blood that Jesus shed on the cross will become the
blood field in the church today, and the people of God should be saved from sin
through the word of truth to be reborn from death to life. So, to be born
again, there is no other way than to be united with the death of Jesus. The
field of blood that people bought and sold Jesus should not be a church that
can't pay for blood and become the graveyard of a traveler.
