    said, blessed by ye poor.
    for your is the kingdom of
    GOD
    RIGHEOUSNESS AND
    WORDLINESS
    JESUS CHRIST switches
    the world value
    completely around, He
    rejected entirely the
    materialism things of the
    world and warns the
    worldly and materialistic
    that judgment is coming,
    Blessed are the Poor, is a
    poor and contrite Spirit
    that trembles at the word
    of GOD, this does not
    mean that a person must
    be poverty-stricken and
    financial poor, hunger,
    and slum are not pleasing
    to GOD, especially in a
    world of plenty, JESUS is
    not talking of material
    poverty, He means what
    He added in Matthew 5:3
    “Poor in Spirit” means
    several things:
    acknowledging that one
    is solely dependent upon
    GOD to meet His needs,
    to acknowledge one’s
    utter helplessness before
    GOD one’s spiritual
    poverty, one’s spiritual
    needs, to acknowledge
    one’s utter lack of
    superiority before all
    others and one’s Spiritual
    deadness before GOD, to
    acknowledge that no
    matter what one has
    achieved in this world
    fame, fortune, power, he
    is no better, no richer, no
    more superior than the 
    next person,
    He journeys through life
    with a humble attitude,
    that is, with an attitude of
    being poor in spirit and
    contribute all he can to
    appreciation, he turns his
    primary attention from the
    things of the world, the
    person who is poor in
    spirit approaches life in
    humility, the opposite of
    being poor in Spirit is
    having a spirit that is full
    of self, self-righteousness
    goes no farther than self,
    that is no farther than
    death, the only
    righteousness is CHRIST
    righteousness that lives
    forever.
    The promise to be poor is
    outstanding that there is
    the kingdom of GOD, the
    poor in Spirit receives the
    kingdom of GOD

    4)Blessed are they that
    mourn for they shall be
    comforted
    Blessed forgiven,
    refreshed by GOD’S
    grace are those who
    mourn over their sins and
    repent, for they will be
    comforted when the
    burden of sin is lifted
    ISAIAH 61:2
    To mourn is to grieve
    over our own weakness in
    relation to GOD’S
    standard of righteousness
    and to mourn over the
    things that grieves GOD,
    to have our feeling in
    sympathy with the
    feelings of GOD and to
    afflict our Spirit over sin
    for the sin of their nature,
    indwelling sin, which is
    always working in them,
    and is a continual grieve
    of mind, to have a broken
    heart, it is the strong word
    for mourning , it is sorrow
    a desperate, helpless
    sorrow, it is sorrow for sin,
    a broken heart over evil
    and suffering, it is
    brokenness of self that
    comes from realizing of
    our sins, the person who
    is desperately sorry for
    his sins and unworthiness
    before GOD, he has such
    a sense of sin that his
    heart is just broken, the
    person who really feels
    the distressed
    predicament of others,
    the tragedies, the
    problems, the sinful
    behavior of others, the
    state, the condition,
    lostness of the world, all
    weigh ever so heavily
    upon the heart of the
    mourner, the persons who
    mourns over their sins,
    which leads to confession
    and humility before GOD.
    The person who mourns
    will be comforted by
    CHRIST Himself, CHRIST
    was called the man of
    sorrow and was
    acquainted with grief, He
    was able to comfort and
    draw a person close,
    those who mourn are
    comforted be pardon
    restored purity and
    freedom by receiving from
    CHRIST righteousness,
    peace and joy in the Holy
    Spirit ROMANS 14:17 for
    godly sorrow worketh

    which is the great love of
    GOD, only GOD can fill a
    life and satisfy the deep
    need for permanent life,

    load of outrage and
    oppression discourage
    and cast you down, these
    words are particularly
    directed to the followers
    of CHRIST, and are
    premeditated to inform,
    that they should not be
    exempted from reproach
    and persecution, and to
    be conscious of it andfortify themselves against
    it, the world conceived
    GOD to be the one who
    fulfills their earthly desire
    and lust, they think that
    GOD protect, provides,
    and gives no matter what
    a person’s behavior is,

    against such worldly life,
    but GOD is love, but He is
    also just and demand
    righteousness, the world

    of GOD; therefore, they
    oppose those who talk

    mansions, and buildings

    and hath smitten them;
    and the hills did tremble,
    and their carcasses were

    streets, for all this His
    anger is not turned away,

    WOE UNTO THEM
    THAT ARE MIGHTY TO
    DRINK WINE
    Woe ,judgment is coming
    to those who are heroes
    at drinking wine,
    apparently , this reference
    to leaders and judges of
    the nation, despite their
    drunken unjust and
    crooked behavior they
    were looked at as hero’s
    in their sin, they could
    drink and of strength in
    mixing intoxicating drinks,
    the judges who acquit
    criminals the wicked and
    guilty for bribe and take
    away the rights of those
    who are righteous,
    declare him to be in the
    wrong by deciding his
    cause against him
    because of bribe, the
    LORD pronounced
    serious warning to the
    unjust and bribe takers,
    they overlook the
    judgment of GOD, by
    accepting bribes,
    acquitting the guilty and
    denying justice to the
    innocent, they sentence
    the just unjustly and free the
    guilty and GOD knows
    their sins and pronounce
    His coming judgment
    upon the unjust
    oppressors
    THEREFORE, AS THE
    FIRE DEVOUR THE
    STUBBLE
    GOD’S judgment will be
    quick, sudden and
    complete, therefore a
    general judgement is now
    pronounced against all
    the forms of wickedness,
    a judgment of ruin or
    destruction the type
    taking from burning of
    stubble and withered
    grass by farmer when he
    is cleaning his farm, were
    as combustible as dried
    straw and grass that had
    been set ablaze, in the
    same way, the blazing
    judgment of GOD would
    consume those who
    sowed such evil action
    AND THE FLAME
    CONSUME THE CHAFF
    The word rendered
    “CHAFF” means hay or
    dry grass, the word
    “consumeth” denote to
    33make to fall, and refers to
    the appearance when a
    fire passes though field
    of grain or grass,
    consuming the stalks near
    the ground, so that the
    upper portion falls down,
    or sinks gently into
    flames, as the dry grass
    sinks down in flame, the
    withered grass of pasture
    was burnt, their
    destruction will be easily
    done speedily, and
    entirely, which denote
    their destruction would be
    easy, swift, sudden.
    THE ROOT SHALL BE
    AS ROTTEN
    So their root shall be as
    rottenness, be rotten, or
    decayed ,the root is the
    last thing to decay, when
    that fails, the case is
    desperate, they shall be
    like a tree which not
    wither in its branches, but
    dies and rots at the roots,
    and therefore is past all
    hopes of recovery, they
    shall be destroyed both
    root and branches
    The reason for GOD is
    judgment is unmistakable;
    the people had rejected
    GOD’S law and despised
    His word, they have been
    given GOD’S word as a
    guide to their lives, and
    they were to share
    GOD’S word with the
    world, but they failed to
    share it, they want
    nothing to do with the
    commandment of GOD
    and refuse to hid them,
    they reject it themselves,
    they rather chose to live
    as they wished doing their
    own things, living their
    own way of sin, they
    should have lived and
    produce fruits of
    righteousness, instead
    they produce sinful fruit,
    which will be consume by
    judgment of GOD
    THEREFORE IS THE
    ANGER OF THE LORD
    KINDLED
    The lord is enraged or is
    angry, his anger was the
    crimes committed ,
    because of the peoples
    sin GOD’S anger was
    aroused against them,
    35and he hath stretched
    forth His hands, to stretch
    His hand is an expression
    of punishment, protection
    or invitation, in this case
    is for punishment, and
    hath smitten them-
    punished them by struck
    them, due to their sins for
    despising the word of
    GOD, so increased His
    anger and indignation
    against them refer to the
    earthquake which
    occurred in the days of
    Uzziah and time of the
    prophet AMOS 1:1
    Zechariah 14:5 and the
    hill did tremble, which is
    GOD’S anger, it is well
    adapted to describe an
    Earthquake, which was
    predicted, the mountain
    began to shake, and
    GOD’S enemies all who
    rebelled against Him by
    turning to sinful lifestyle ,
    were doomed, their dead
    bodies would be like
    refuse in the streets,
    rejecting GOD’S word will
    result in the people being
    given over to the
    consequence of their sins
    and to Divine punishment

    CHRIST was attacking

    religionist, but also
    warning them of their sin
    that was great and
    terrible , but was
    unpardonable , they
    shutting the door of
    heaven against
    themselves and others,
    for false interpretation of
    the word of GOD, they
    prevented men from
    accepting CHRIST
    making the path
    impossible for the
    ignorant and poor,
    keeping men from the
    knowledge of the will of
    GOD, neither themselves
    teaching the knowledge of
    GOD but that of the
    doctrine of man
    They will never be able to
    enter themselves,
    CHRIST dealt frankly and
    openly with them, He
    exposed the truth of their
    hearts; they were full of
    hypocrisy, they had to
    look at themselves andsee
    the corruption of their

    False religionist shut the

    right at the door
    desperately needing to

    they themselves did not
    enter Heaven because
    they preferred a religion
    that honored man’s ability

    They chose the things

    position, honor,

    They rejected GOD as
    Messiah, as being the

    They profess religion,

    They use religion for

    to win convert, to GOD

    other than to make
