“Inasmuch as you have or have not done it unto one of the least of these My brethren,
you have or have not done it unto Me.” (Mt. 25:40)
In society’s attempt to devise a politically correct name for “the homeless”, the one that has emerged, is the “unhoused”. Apparently, it seems to soften the shame associated with “looser” psychology of homelessness for both, the purported “homeless” and society in general.
Such one-dimensional thinking, that homelessness is simply a matter of housing lacks, hence, “houselessness”, generated into existence, the now admitted, “OUTDATED”, ill-advised, federal “housing first” policy of the US Interagency Council On Homelessness (USICH), under the auspices of the Office of Domestic Policy Council (ODPC), which cost billions of taxpayers’ dollars to be wasted.
Based the attached Hebrew Holy Scriptures (The Bible), as America’s foremost Civil Rights activists, homelessness resolution, world citizen Internationalist, to say, that in my unique understanding of homelessness, to now, correctly identify and associate the so called “homeless” persons, as the Real Jesus Peoples. See Mathew 25:31-46.
The Jesus People Movement
Ironically, in the late 1960’s into the mid 1970’s, a spiritual movement nationally and globally, entitled “The Jesus People”, which initially and primarily consisted of young, white people ranging in age of mid-late teens and early adulthood, who were societal “dropouts”, commonly known as Hippies, Flower Children, etc.
Apparently, the movement began in California places like Venice Beach and Hollywood, then organically spread thought America and the world.
It’s my understanding belief and faith to rightly identify said homeless with the ancient Jew of Bethlehem, Nazareth – Galilee, Israel, whom Christians erroneously profess that He founded Christianity, whose Name is pronounced in many different languages, but primarily in English as “Jesus”; and in Hebrew “Yeshua”, or “Yehusha”, the Ha Machiach, i.e., Anointed One, or Greek “Christos”, The Messiah;
The Judaic and Religious Differnce Clause: At this juncture, being cognizant of doctrinal disagreement on the person of Yeshua between Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhist, Confucianism, Shamanist, Humanist, Atheist, etc., doesn’t preclude, nor but rather welcome the matter of emanating His exemplary lifestyle and values.
According to the Book of Mathew 25:31-46, the last public statement of Yeshua, He describes the day Judgement for all nations, i.e., goyim-gentles including Israel, saying upon His return to earth as Meshiach, the judgment is not on their religious or spiritual, doctrinal beliefs, but rather, on their treatment of the poor, i.e., homeless, with whom Isa identifies and conjoins Himself to them His brethren, hence, The Jesus People.
These Jesus People are global wide, existing in the billions, which includes the hundreds of millions dwelling in sprawling slums, shantytowns, and refugee camps, primarily located in huge urban centers, having no voice of justice.
Yehusha says to all human beings, particularly they of material and otherwise means,
“In as much as you have done it or not to the least of one of these my brethren, you have done it to Me.”
This divine connection to and with Jesus, the homeless, i.e., “Jesus People”, Or “Jesus’s People” elevates them into an especially sacred, spiritual, protected place(s) in GOD, the Universe/Nature and earth, even becoming the human element of ZION, by the authority that GOD-ABBA/FATHER, has commissioned upon Yahusha to be the Anointed One with the “outcasts of Israel”, i.e., society, subsequently empowering them into “The Promised Land”, spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, bodily and geo-physically of EXODUS II: LA 2028.
“All power (Gk. Exusios = authority) is given unto Me in Heaven and Earth”
(Mathew 28:18)
Therefore, in viewing the Homeless (metaphorically) as Jesus, generates the power of the Holy Spirit of El Shaddai, Elohim, Adonai, HaShem, i.e., GOD, by which HE will move upon the hearts, soul, minds, and bodies of all human being for thei/our ultimate salvation.
“Peace on earth, Good will towards all human beings”
(The Holy Bible)
Similar in fashion as in the first Exodus of the Hebrew Bible, of localized in the antiquity of Egypt of the Northern African continent, whereof under El Shaddai’s orders to both the government and the exiting of the Hebrew-Israelites, children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel from bondage, consisted of a mixed multitude of many other ethno-racial identities.
EXODUS II is likewise, but on a much larger basis in many exciting, Divine ways, summoning out of the metaphorical Egypt founded on Babylon all the inhabitants of earth to initially exit, or EXODUS from them as a mixed multitude, first and foremost in their/our spirits, souls-emotions, spirits, followed by that which is geophysical, to journey together into the Promised Land for all peoples.
“Babylon is fallen. Come out of her MY people”
(Revelation 18:2,4)
“And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!” (Prophet MLK, April 3, 1968)
The Homelessness of Jesus
“And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.” (Luke 9:58)
Note: Jesus ordered His disciples to become homeless to spread the good news of His Identity and purpose for salvation. Luke 9:1-5; 23-26, noting :26 + ref to Mathew 25: 31 “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:” This is where he identifies Himself with the homeless, etc.
Enter The Holy Spirit Speaks of Jesus In All of His Majesty, Especially Homeless
“Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, ‘Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.” (John 20:21-23) + ref.
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning. (John 15:26, 27) + ref.
“Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come. HE shall glorify Me: for HE shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father. (John 16:13-16)
The Holy Spirit Reveals that the Mind, Heart and Soul of El Shaddai, is prioritized on the wellbeing of the homeless, i.e., Jesus People human beings.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?” (John 14:6-9)
“Let this mind be in you which was/is in Christ Jesus”
(Philippians 2:5)
Note: “Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.”
“Pick Up You Cross and Follow Me” (Mathew 16:24) (Luke 9:23) Into Homelessness
Jesus sent by El Shaddai to the homeless, i.e., “Jesus”, and Himself being of such, and says to would-be followers, as well as disciples, to follow Him there into the world societal bottom of homelessness, especially the young rich man seeking eternal life with GOD in HIS Kingdom.
“Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, “Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. (Luke 18:22) * Calling young man to homelessness. Such is equated with eternal life. (Mt. 19:21) Calling all the rich of the world, or rather those of GOD blessed and gifted means, to do as He admonishes, even according to His own example.
Note: EXODUS II: LA 2028 Olympics is the rich being granted from GOD a second chance to be healed by supporting its’ rightful expectant utilization Executive Government authority, according to the January 1, 1863 Presidential Executive Ordered by President Abraham Lincoln Emancipation Proclamation and the 18166-68 Civil Rights/14th Amendment Act.
The Samaritan Deed – Equated with Eternal Life
“And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. (Mt. 10: 25, 37) (Lk. 10:37)
Note: He teaches in Mt. 25, that the victim of the homelessness causing, societal attack, is Himself. “When you’ve done to the least of the these My brethren, you’ve done it to me” Hence, eternal life!
Note: The “Good Samaritan”, his eternal life was/is dependent upon service to the oppressed, even though of another ethno-race and religion.
This equates with Mathew 25:40
Note: The Kingdom of GOD is for children, it being based on Judgement and Justice/Righteousness, manifesting in inspiring human government to not suppress and oppress homeless peoples, whose state and fate is subsequence of societal dysfunction, and government’s tragic failure to rectify those ills among us all.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of GOD”
(Jesus)
“Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?”
(James 2:5)
“We the People…in order to more perfect the Union, establish Justice, ensure Domestic Tranquility– Peace/Shalom
The Homeless Are “Jesus”, Hence, the Real Jesus People
The Jesus Followers are to go find His people as defined by their locale, as well as state of existence, etc., and bring them into GOD’s Kingdom.
“Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.” (Mt. 22:9,10)
“Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” (Lk. 14:21-23)
“Then said he also to him that bade him, ‘When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brethren, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors; lest they also bid you again, and a recompence be made you.
But when you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And you shall be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.” Lk. 14:12-14)
Therefore, concerning these the human beings forced society to dwell at its bottoms, outer edges, Jesus, The Homeless One orders that His Father-ABBA intentions and priorities for humanity are make known, and acted upon would-be followers according to that which is admonished in Mathew 25: 40
“Inasmuch as you have or have not done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, you have or have not done it unto Me.”
The first generation of Yehusha followers make it their priority to specific tell the outcasts of Israel”, i.e., the poor, that He is one of them, and that the world’s salvation rests upon how society addressed “least of one of these My brethren.”
“Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.” (Galatians 2:10)
To them is proclaimed why GOD, The Most High, El Shaddai, sent the Holy Anointed One, i.e. , Christ, Meshiach, Son of King David, to HIS people whom are society’s outcasts, even public health and safety outlaws, and they are societally forced to into the outlawed zones of such.
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
” (Isaiah 61:1-2 | + ref Lk. 4:17-19)
The “Outcast of Israel”-Homeless
The accordance to the Promise Land aspects of the Divine earthly and Heavenly salvation of human beings, El Shaddai, ADONAI, Elohim Who Is Echod, proclaims that by HIS Holy Spirit, HE Himself will gather HIS Sheep, the Jesus People.
“For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.” (Jerimiah 30:17)
“Thus saith the Lord; Behold, ‘I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.” (Jerimiah 30:18,19)
The Holy Spirit Speaks of Jesus’s People
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:” (John 15:26)
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine,
and shall shew it unto you.” (John 16:13-15)
The Outcasts of Israel
Thus by the prophet Isaiah, (Isaiah 56:8) “The Lord God, which gathers the outcasts of Israel, saith, Yet will I gather others to him besides those which are gathered to him.” (Isaiah 56:8 | John
Zion, Outcast
“For I will restore health to you And heal you of your wounds,’ says the LORD, ‘Because they called you an outcast saying: “This is Zion; No one seeks her.” (Jeremiah 30:17)
Note: The Jesus People become His Body of Christ, thereby, putting them in, on, and they then become Zion, who nobody wanted, rejected, pushed to the outer, public health and safety outlaw zones of society to be forgotten.
Note: “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;” (John 17:20) – (?)
“Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? (James 2:5)
“Truly I tell you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.” (Mathew 21:31)
Note: John 10: 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be cone fold, and one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I blay down my life, that I might ctake it again. 18 No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself.”
“One Fold, One Shepherd” –
Gathering the Sheep – Jerimiah 32:
“Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
“I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.” (Jeremiah 30:33) and “5 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.” (Ezekiel 36:25-27)
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
GOD Seeks The Sheep – Ezekiel 34”
11 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.
16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
30 Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord God.
31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God.
“But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people. Jer. 31:33
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning. (John 15:26, 27) + ref.
“Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come. HE shall glorify Me: for HE shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father. (John 16:13-16)
