Was reading in another post and thought maybe to make a new one here
When we offer ourselves [being under Jesus Christ authority ] to others
and how to handle the rejection , God than leaves them in their pride of heart and ways of their doings , this is the judgment they have heaped upon themselves
as we shake the dust off our feet
For me this was the need for the foot washing Jesus so deliberatly showed the disciples in example
Jesus says you are every wit whole , but your feet and this was to cleanse the filth of the flesh off , because to be carnally minded is DEATH
Death on your feet , you in Christ and Christ in God are walking over death for Jesus is the LORD / MASTER of the dead and living ['' teaching of Jesus Christ'' . IS , till He puts all enemies under His feet ]This gospel , good news as a witness to all the world .
Luk 10:5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
Luk 10:6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
Dont you find this just amazing !!! verse 5 and 6 and just what it means !!
be peacably with all men ! if the son of peace be there as your peace is also we rest in peace , the Lord just gave a small revelation as to what the rest is ,
and spoken thoughout His Word , you are no longer wrestling with evil and the ministration of death [tree of knowledge of good and evil ] but the TREE OF LIFE IS THE REST [JESUS CHRIST IS EVERYTHING ] all included as ONE SPIRIT AND TRUTH ] HIS peace His rest His work
we no longer labour in vain , but to HIS CAUSE , HE IS THE HIGH PRIEST , and you are apart of His body that Cleasnses and is Holy , pure , the pure in Heart shall see GOD
Luk 10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
Luk 10:8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
listen to their spiritual food shared as well as eating the literal foods shared
Luk 10:9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
wow !! speaking the oracles of God
we see some have milk and some have the strong meat [ doing the will of god though Jesus Christ ] milk is sincere and honest and truthful giving God his due glory honor and praise
the meat is what Jesus had that no man knew about [glorifying God the Father over and over again ] !!
Hbr 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
1Pe 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Luk 10:10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
Luk 10:11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
so close but could not see Gods kingdom for the pride in their hearts to not change their minds /hearts :sigh: satisfied with what they have
Luk 10:12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
Luk 10:13 ¶ Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Luk 10:14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
Luk 10:15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
the grave of death still dead in Adam and not alive in Christ
Luk 10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
wow , your HIS FEET touhing the earth and the dust scatters in fear of torment , no rest , still striving against Jesus [the Lamb of God ]
Luk 10:17 ¶ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
Luk 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
no longer in heaven mind /heart to decieve !! but in your earth for the destruction of your flesh !!!
Luk 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
wow what a promise over the enemies and no harm comes upon you !!! seeing alot of revelation scriptures come to life being raised up here in Jesus words! can you see them ?
Luk 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
more revelation coming to Light of your names written in the book of Life !!!
Luk 10:21 ¶ In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
amazing is it not !!
Luk 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
seeing Jesus and the Father , those pure hearts do see God!!!
Luk 10:23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
Luk 10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
wow PRAISE GOD !!! its exciting to just focus on !!!
Gods blessings
QuoteLuk 10:5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
Luk 10:6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
Idiom #35 - Son of ....
Luke 10
5 Now into whatever house you may be entering, first say, 'Peace to this household!'"
6 And if a son of peace should be there, your peace will be resting on it; otherwise, surely it will come back on you."
son of peace/house means a friend that's so close it's almost part of your family (family=house)
"Son of" is an idiom I can't explain. So I'll give a few examples.
Son of:
- the house => someone almost as close as familiy.
- death => deserves to die or condemned to die. When the Pilate sentenced Jesus He became Son of death
- gehenna => A person who surely will end up in 'hell'.
- Tentmaker ==> All dedicated members.
- eating ==> everything good for food.
So Luke said to greet the house (family). If they are friendly they welcome you. If not you retract your greetings and move on.
Quoteas we shake the dust off our feet

Idiom #5 - Shake the dust of your sandals means total rejection.
Luke 10
8 "When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.' 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 'Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.' 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
Wipe the dust of ones sandals is often understood as "leave the town with not hard feelings toward it's citizens".
The Hebrew interpretation seems to be the opposite. After Jews had contact with gentile they symbolicly shook of the dust of their sandals. It symbolized non Jewish filth. Paganness. And "death". It's very similar to tearing clothes in front of a "dead" person. (mourning of a dead person)
I think it's also similar to Jesus calling the Scribes/Pharisees walking dead.
So (imo) shaking of the dust of the sandals was declaring someone spiritual dead. That's among the most serious Jewish insults. Not a "no hard feelings" as many Christians seem to think. It's utter rejection.
Verse 12 seems to agree with this negative interpretation. Why warn about a fate worse than Sodom if 'you' walk away with no hard feelings?

BTW Rosey I'm not trying to diminish your good post...
:gimmefive: :friendstu:
Thank you rosered.
It is amazing how much I was missing in the gospels.
:thumbsup: amen Rose.....I had an occasion on you-tube several months back..where a Judaic preist
type was covered in a plastic garbage bag on an airplane. this due to..afraid he might fly over a
graveyard and become 'unclean'. how apprpriate that his self-righteous religious flesh be in a garbage bag.
...and this is what the Holy spirit showed me........can these bones live? and the God of heaven
brought bone to bone,ligament to joint..and covered with flesh and breathed the breath of life into them.
see the account of the prophet that was killed of the lion and thrown a grave..that when the other
prophet that caused him to disobey the Lord's command..request to be buried in his grave..and the
moment his body touched the body of the prophet killed of the lion..he sprang to life and wass
resurrected!!!!! bone to bone..ligament to joint............the new creature is resurrectedin His image.
when the spirit of the Lord passes ove the dry scattered bones......something wonderful happens
Hi WW , you are helping !!! , I am all for that !!!
Thanks Ed for your being able to see it to, this helps me as well ,sharing in Gods blessings !!!
Hi Shelia
amen , the dead shall rise in Christ AND GIVE YOU LIGHT OF LIFE !! I have always thought this place to be the grave HELL [dead mens bones]
Helps so much to believe this with more simple and clear understanding !! Thanking God again !
Look! we always 'stumble' with our 'FEET' if thy eye cause you to stumble pluck it out......
His angels shall keep you lest your 'foot' stumble against a stone. the Christ stone...rock of offense.
the stone that the builders rejected.
odd...that gravestones were white-washed..that people walking in darkness could better see to
avoid them!
neither does the feet say..I am no part of the body because I am not an eye or eaar.
How beautiful the feet shod with the gospel of Good news.
I like how "accept the food of the house" both physical food and spiritual.. not as competing.. but acknowledging.. nice..
Blessings Shelia and Marie
God is so good !!! :iagree:
I love the whole chapter that Jesus is teaching us about Luke 10
Luk 10:25 ¶ And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luk 10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
Luk 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Luk 10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
Luk 10:29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
Luk 10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
Luk 10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
Luk 10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
Luk 10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
Luk 10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Luk 10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
Luk 10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
Luk 10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
So its whomever you find in need of help along lifes way or the ones whom have been done wrong ?
I would love some input on this one ....
Luk 10:38 ¶ Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
Luk 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
feet /foot Strong's G4228 - pous
a foot, both of men or beast
often in the orient, one put his foot on vanquished
of disciples listening to their teacher's instruction are said to be at his feet
Luk 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
Luk 10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
Luk 10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Adear friend shared this many years ago and it made sense to me
She asked did you ever wonder why Jesus said Marthas name twice ?
Do you think that it is written that way on purpose ?
and than she said to me
I believe it was because Martha was still double minded and unstable in her ways having the winds of doctrines still swaying her , so Jesus was speaking to both minds
Martha troubled thoughts was on much serving but failed to be taught of Jesus first , that would remain in her heart
I hope some other will share what they see in Jesus words
