So relating that to the Apostle Paul. It's just like you idiot Paul. Why did you go back to Jerusalem because he made a mistake
But you know what God said don't worry. You're still gonna be able to go to Rome
Now wouldn't you think that Paul sitting in the castle is thinking like how?
How am I gonna get to Rome
I'm like
deep in the mob here
How look it's not really getting it's not gonna get any better either look what it says in verse 12 and when it was day
certain of the Jews
Banded together and bound themselves under a curse saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they have killed Paul
So if matters are not worse, the religious leaders are completely against them. They're trying to kill him and put him to death
Now you have these 40 Jews
these bunch of psychopaths
Who are like we're not gonna eat or drink until Paul's dead I
Mean these people are willing to go without food
The necessities of life in order to take someone's life
Good night, and there were more than 40 which had made this conspiracy and they came to the chief priests and elders
Look what it says and said I'm gonna read it the way I feel like they would say it
We have bound ourselves under a great curse
That
We will eat nothing until we have slain Paul
Now therefore you with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down into you tomorrow
As though you would inquire something more perfectly concerning him and we or ever he came near are ready to kill him
That's how I read it
Now look we're thinking there's those these people are crazy
Yeah, but you see how cunning and like
Crafted they are they've literally devised the plan
So this is what you do
You go to the chief captain. You just say hey, we need to talk to Paul
They bring Paul boom we get them right there and then we can eat
This reminds me of Proverbs 40 enough to turn over 16 referring to wicked individuals and by the way folks
Wicked people exist just like this today
The Bible says for they sleep not isn't sleep a necessity of life
Except they have done mischief and their sleep is taken away unless they cause
Some to fall for they eat what you said. Why are these people going without food and and water?
well because for they eat the bread of wickedness and
drink the wine of violence
They're satiated not by physical food the necessity of life. They're satiated by taking someone's life
Evil this is so evil
