Calling Jews of the Devil is not judging righteously. It is Satanic.
Let me put it to you this way,the majority of those in the nation of Israel,are not Jews..........
Revelation 2:9
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
If they were true Jews of the tribe of Judah they would know Christ...........
John 10:23 "And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch."
Solomon's porch had crumbled, but what Jesus is calling our attention to here is what happened to the priesthood. Jesus is setting the stage for understanding of that priesthood, and weaving it together with this "parable of the sheep that know His voice". Jesus is going to show us why some sheep just do not know his voice.
Why would Jesus draw attention to Solomon's porch? It was King Solomon that allowed the Nethinim [foreigners given to liturgical service] to do the hard temple chores that were set aside by God for only the Levites, of the lineage of Aaron.The Levites became lazy and over worked, so Solomon brought in the Kenites, these Nethinims to do the wood cutting for them. This is spoken of in the Book of Ezra.
Ezra 2:58; "All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety and two."
These Nethinim priests were not of Judah, and Ezra knew that these priests were the offspring of those Kenites that were brought in to help the Levitical priesthood, against God's instructions. When you read the names of the forty two thousand that came out of Babylon, about one half of the names are Kenite, and not of Judah or Benjamin, but Nethinim [foreigners]. The Kenites had taken over the priesthood from top to the bottom, all of the priestly duties, and this is why Jesus would say in Matthew 23:2; "the scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses seat:"
What this then meant was that the Kenites that Solomon brought in to cut wood, had by Christ time taken over the Temple of God. They were the children of Satan through Cain that sat in Moses seat administering the law, but instead of teaching the law, they had taught their own traditions instead.
It all came about when man tried to make the duties of God easier for the preacher. They brought in foreigners of other religions that had no business to in God's house, and by Jesus day these Kenites changed the very Words and laws of God and substituted their own traditions. The illusion many have today is that everyone does the work, and the pastor avoids the work and the stress.
So Jesus is trying to teach us a lesson in this 23rd verse, He wants you to hear His voice, and not the voice of some Nethinim, or hireling. We are to be able to tell the difference between His Word, and the traditions of men. Jesus is warning us to recognize His Word, for the thieves and robbers have crawled over the church fence, and are dumping their traditions and doctrines on you.
John 10:24 "Then came the Jews round about Him, and said unto Him, "How long dost Thou make us to doubt: If Thou be the Christ, tell us plainly."
Many of the Kenites knew what Jesus had been talking about, concerning Solomon's porch. That is the workplace where they entered the priesthood and got their foothold in the first place.
John 10:25 "Jesus answered them, "I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me."
Jesus told them that all the things that I have accomplished bear witness that they are My Fathers works. Jesus is telling them that if you really knew the Words of Moses and the Prophets, you would have known that these Works were prophesied long ago.
John 10:26 "But ye believe not, because ye are not of My sheep, as I said unto you."
Jesus identified them in John 8:44; "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lust of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
Satan is the "father of all lies", and "Cain" was "the first murderer", and that is where these Kenites got their name in the first place. "Kenite" means "offspring of Cain"
Jesus told them in John 8:47;"He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God."
Though these Kenites sit in the seat of Moses, they lie like their father Satan, and plot as murderers like their father Cain. These are strong words that Jesus Christ is telling them, for He is revealing their hidden secrets to us even in our generation. They claim to be of Judah, yet they are of the synagogue of Satan. This is recorded facts from God Word, and will be enlightening to those who are of God. To those who do not believe this, Jesus tells us why; "because ye are not of My sheep".
John 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me:"
These Kenite Pharisees, scribes and Sadducees don't have ears to hear, and no matter how you tell them, if they are not of Christ, they simply cannot understand what you are saying. It is like a mental block that God has placed on the minds of the spiritually blind.
On the other hand, Christ's sheep, or those of the elect, or who have received Christ by their own free will will read God's word and know what the words say, and hear the Holy Spirit of God, as He leads them through life.
John 10:28 "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand."
