Luke 22:34-36 NIV

34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”

“Nothing,” they answered.

36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.

He says it more than once, and it's not figurative.

End of an era/aeon, not necessarily the end of the literal world.

Just the world as we know it (put up with) now.

I watch a lot of him, he's fantastic.
I used to be a hardcore atheist, but i see now the value of these metaphors.

Leviticus 20:23
And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

Leviticus 20:24
But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.

Leviticus 26:7
And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

Don't post the NIV it's satanic

>>130555933
Yup. It's looking more and more like that is indeed the case; especially when the scriptures of each would seem to indicate that the Christ of each one's religion is the anti-Christ of the other.

The Sword defends. The Sword cuts down deception(the veil hiding the truth). The Sword separates the wheat from the chaff.

Or maybe he told this for jews. "Jews i bring you a sword, please kill all goys". Poles first.

Didn't Genesis mention a flaming sword guarded the tree of life (immortality)?

We got knowledge; only immortality remains before we ascend.

You'd think he would've shown up more recently to tell us this instead of prophesying it 2000 fucking years ago.
It's almost like 99% of the bible is up to personal intepretation.

>>130565596
And that's why we need an authoritative source to interpret! Extra ecclesiam nulla salus

>>130566152
That's why nobody should listen to it. It's a bunch of bronze age sand person nonsense with absolutely no evidence to support any of it. Jesus was never even metioned in a single roman report, all of the 1st century sources are christian or jewish.
