The Spiritual Blindness of Jews
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.
But wisdom is justified of her children.
Mtt. 11:16-19 KJV
Ears To Hear
Halleluia for the Grace of God who gives His children ears to hear what the written words of God teach, whilst leaving the world in the quagmire of unbelief.
If you ever read that scripture whilst still in your sins it would have left you scoffing, or perplexed, and probably both at the same time.
No Longer a Deaf Goat
But now that Father has opened the eyes and ears of your spirit to His Glory in The LORD Jesus Christ, you see the elegant way it separates sheep from goats, the saved from the lost, the blessed from the cursed, and we rejoice in His Mercy to us.

How Father Teaches His Children
The point of this scripture is that wisdom is justified of her children.
Christ made a similar point when He said, John 7:14-17 KJV;
Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Every believer understands that fact by experiencing the blessing when they put God’s written words into practice on a daily basis.
You only believe as far as you do what God says.
Divine confirmation comes only as you fulfil Father’s will.
His will is that you repent and believe on Christ as LORD, and Saviour.
Children of The Devil
The Jews were, and remain, spiritually dead in sin, just like we were before we began doing Father’s will.
That’s why they criticised John the Baptist for his abstinence, like silly mocking children, and then even ridiculed God in The Flesh because He ate and drank with sinners.
Children of God
But Halleluia Wisdom is justified of her children!
- Justified: Proven correct, validated, endorsed, vindicated, and declared as true.
Of her children: You could also say by, her children.
By believers putting divine wisdom into practise, and of believers demonstrating the effect of obedience to God.
Onlookers notice how Christians flourish in every way, especially as they endure trials, declaring Christ’s Victory even in dark valleys.
Divine wisdom is actually a primary characteristic of the nature of Christ in us, 1 Cor. 1:30 KJV;
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us, wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification and redemption.
Read that out loud and rejoice!
Notice that it is God’s plan to manifest His wisdom on Earth through His children: First through Jesus of Nazareth, and now through the Body of Christ.
The Son of man showed us how to live intimately with our Creator, by walking in obedience, doing nothing of ourselves, but Yielding to the Holy Ghost all the time, and doing Father’s will.
Come LORD Jesus and put an end to this Zionist counterfeit leading Israel to Hell.
