Jehoshua is on the throne of David in New Jerusalem and He is the King of a New Israel
There is a strange teaching today within and without the church that Jehoshua would be okay with homosexuality and would love them. One of the arguments many followers of the Son of God fail to address is the fact that Jehoshua comes from the line of the Israelite kings. One of the main functions of the Kings of Israel were to uphold the law of Jehovah God. The law of Jehovah God clearly teaches that it is an abomination for man to lie with man and woman with woman.
The idea that Jehoshua accepts homosexuality puts him out of line with Jehovah God His Father and the very royal line that He comes from (the royal seed of David). A look at what the Kings of Israel did that were considered righteous reveal the character of Jehoshua the Son of God who is the righteousness of God. 1 Kings 15:9-12 9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother`s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, as did David his father.12 And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. Asa, who was a Davidic King, was considered righteous in the eyes of Jehovah God for kicking the Sodomites out of the land of Israel. Remember, Jehovah changes not (Malachi 3:6). His character is seen in His law which drops as the dew from heaven (Deuteronomy 32:1-4) and His ways (law) are perfect. Psalm 119:1-2 1 Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Jehovah.2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart. Asa was enforcing Jehovah's perfect law by ridding the land of the Sodomites. The problem with modern Christianity is that they have largely separated Jehoshua from His Israelite roots. They have made a false image of Jehoshua who is a long haired hippy and a greek demi-god whose morals are more in line with Greek philosophy than Jehovah's Torah. Jehoshua is also a Davidic King like Asa was and as a Davidic King He is charged with teaching and enforcing Jehovah's law. In fact, the very reason Jehoshua was enthroned as the King of Israel was because of His love for righteousness and hatred for iniquity (lawlessness). Today's mainstream Church system has flipped it around and have taught a Jehoshua who excuses lawlessness and condemns those who try and keep the law. Israel was supposed to be a nation governed by Jehovah's law and the King was charged with making sure the nation followed it. Unfortunately, many Davidic kings were not righteous and therefore didn't guard the law of Jehovah God. It was the heathen nations that practiced and glorified lawlessness. 1 Kings 14:24 "and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Jehovah drove out before the children of Israel." Sodomy was not to be named among the children of Israel. It was the pagan nations that practiced it and it was one of the reasons Jehovah drove them out of the land that He gave to Israel. Leviticus 18 shows us that homosexuality is the one of the sins that causes Jehovah to vomit the inhabitants out of a land: Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." Leviticus 18:24-25 24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you;25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants. Verse 18 clearly shows that homosexuality is an abominable sin. Verses 24-25 show that homosexuality was something the heathen nations were known for. Also, the land is defiled by the practice of Sodomy. It is iniquity (lawlessness). The end result is that Jehovah will vomit out the inhabitants of the land that practice Sodomy. Do you know why Asa did what he did? He knew the consequences of this abomination called homosexuality. To posit Jehoshua as being okay with an abominable sin such as homosexuality is to divorce Him from His Israelite and Davidic roots. It is to put Him at odds with Jehovah God Himself. Jehovah's approval of Asa's actions show that it is righteous thing to be against Sodomy and those that practice it. Let's look at another account in 2nd Kings chapter 23: 1 And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.2 And the king went up to the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of Jehovah.3 And the king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all [his] heart, and all [his] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and all the people stood to the covenant.4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.6And he brought out the Asherah from the house of Jehovah, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast the dust thereof upon the graves of the common people.7 And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of Jehovah, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah. This is a slam dunk text that refutes and idea that Jesus would be okay with homosexuality. Prior to this chapter, King Josiah was given the book of the law by Shaphan the scribe. Once the King heard and/or read what the book of the law said he rent his clothes. This is an example of how a righteous man reacts when he realizes he and those around him haven't been keeping the law. In response to this discovery King Josiah sent Hilkiah the high priest and others to go to the prophets Huldah to enquire about this matter. Josiah was lamenting that the fathers of Israel (prior generations) had not been keeping the law. Josiah knew that Jehovah's wrath was kindled against Israel because they had not been keeping the law. In todays Church you are condemned as a heretic if you keep the law and/or teach that we need to keep it. Yet Jehovah God speaking through the prophets Huldah pronounced a blessing on Josiah for his tender heart in wanting to return back to the law. Josiah had wept and rent his clothes when he realized he and the people were not keeping the law. King Josiah's repentance was called an act of humility by Jehovah God. Josiah was told that he would go to his grave in peace and not are the evil things that would come upon Israel for their disregard for Jehovah's law. Here in chapter 23 we see that Josiah's heart repentance turns into action as he called an assembly and read all the words of the law before the people of Israel. In verse 3 of 2nd Kings 23 Josiah made a covenant before Jehovah God that he and the people of Israel would walk after Jehovah and keep His commandments and His testimonies and statutes with all their heart. Remember, keeping Jehovah's commandments is a heart issue as it requires a removal of the heart of stone and to be given a heart of flesh. Verse 4, the first things Josiah commanded was a removal of the idols from the temple of Jehovah. King Josiah had them burned outside Jerusalem. He then got rid of the idolatrous priests who were teaching and practicing pagan rituals. This reminds me of the false pastors today who are allowing and promoting the wickedness of the world. The acceptance of homosexuality is the biggest Satanic practice that the church is accepting. These Pastors should be removed from their churches as they are idolatrous. In verse 7 of 2nd Kings 23, King Josiah broke down the houses of the Sodomites and got rid of them. This is similar to what Asa did. Both were considered righteous before Jehovah God for breaking the Sodomites houses and kicking them out of the land of Israel. These accounts show that homosexuality is a sin against Jehovah God and that the Kings of Israel who were considered righteous had no tolerance for it. Remember, that Jesus is the new covenant King of Israel and comes from the same line as Asa and Josiah. Jesus also upheld the law of His Father and warned that those who break the least of the commandments and teach others to do the same will be called least in the Kingdom of God (Matthew 5:17-19). Psalm 89:29-32 29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, And his throne as the days of heaven.30 If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;31 If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments;32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes. This text is within the context of the commentary on the Davidic covenant and is about the future Davidic King (Jesus). Jehovah warns the royal seed of David that if they violate the commandments Jehovah God then He will punish them with the rod. In other words, no future Davidic King was given allowance to break God's law nor teach others to do so. The arrival of Jesus on the scene and His preaching of the gospel of the Kingdom was not a new era where all of a sudden we can break God's law but rather it was a gospel that called us to depart from iniquity (lawlessness) and return to the living God. The teaching that somehow Jesus would be okay with homosexuality flies in the face of who He is in identity (the King of Israel and Son of God) and character (the righteousness of God). It also goes against what will happen when He comes back as He will thread the winepress of His Father's wrath (Revelation 19:15). The reason for the wrath of God being poured out is the transgression of His law (Isaiah 24:1-5). Jesus Himself said that only those who do God's commandments will enter into New Jerusalem and eat of the tree of life (Revelation 22:14). In fact, as righteous as some of the Davidic kings were including Asa and Josiah who rod the land of the Sodomites Jesus exceeded them all: Hebrews 1:8-9 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Jesus hates iniquity, which is lawlessness, therefore to say He would accept homosexuals is absolutely contrary to what the Father says about the Son. Jesus was anointed with the oil of gladness above thy fellows due to His love for righteousness which is defined by Jehovah God's law. This means that Jesus exceeded all of the previous Davidic Kings in terms of righteousness including Asa and Josiah. This clearly shows that Jesus hates homosexuality even more than they did and when He comes back He will do as they did and rid the land of the Sodomites. Isaiah 63 and Revelation 19 show that when Jesus comes back it is gonna be a violent blood bath. Luke 19:27 shows that Jesus is gonna have people killed upon His return because they did not make Him King of their lives. Jesus died on the cross so that sinners can repent & be forgiven of their sins & baptized into His Kingdom. The teaching that Jesus would accept homosexuals into His Kingdom is false & is a wicked lie from Satan. 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind"
