John 16:1-33 
1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 

We have need to look closer at these English words "ye should...be offended" which represent the Greek word  skandalizo.
4624 skandalizo (skan-dal-id'-zo) ("scandalize"); 
from 4625; to entrap, i.e. trip up (figuratively, stumble [transitively] or entice to sin, apostasy or displeasure): 
KJV-- (make to) offend. 
4625 skandalon (skan'-dal-on) ("scandal"); 
probably from a derivative of 2578; a trap-stick (bent sapling), i.e. snare (figuratively, cause of displeasure or sin): 
KJV-- occasion to fall (of stumbling), offence, thing that offends, stumblingblock. 
2578 kampto (kamp'-to); 
apparently a primary verb; to bend: 
KJV-- bow. 
(Strong's) 

4624 skandalizo ("scandalize")- 
to put a stumblingblock (impediment) in the way, upon which another may trip and fall; metaphorically, to offend 
a) to entice to sin 
b) to cause a person to begin to distrust and desert one whom he ought to trust and obey 
1) to cause to fall away 
2) to be offended in one, that is, to see in another what I disapprove of and what hinders me from acknowledging his authority 
3) to cause one to judge unfavorably or unjustly of another 
c) since one who stumbles or whose foot gets entangled feels annoyed 
1) to cause one displeasure at a thing 
2) to make indignant 
3) to be displeased, indignant 
4625 skandalon ("scandal")- 
1) the movable stick or trigger of a trap, a trap stick 
a) a trap, a snare 
b) any impediment placed in the way and causing one to stumble or fall, (a stumblingblock, occasion of stumbling), that is, a rock which is a cause of stumbling 
c) figuratively applied to Jesus Christ, whose person and career were so contrary to the expectations of the Jews concerning the
Messiah, that they rejected him and by their obstinacy made shipwreck of their salvation 
2) any person or thing by which one is (entrapped) drawn into error or sin 
2578 kampto- 
1) to bend, to bow the knee(s) 
a) to one 
1) in honor of one 
2) in religious veneration 
b) used of worshipers 
2) to bow oneself 
(Thayer's) 

"These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended" is to say, HE has taught us all HIS Words of Truth so that we do not get snared into the deception and thereby bow to the false. 

2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 

"They shall put you out of the synagogues" speaks of excommunicating and shunning. 
In other words, the evil and confused people will not allow YHVH'S servants/YAHSHUA'S friends to 'play church' with them. 
Remember the indignities YAHSHUA suffered when HE was delivered up? 

Matt 26:65-68 
65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. 
66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death. 
67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, 
68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? (KJV) 

This "the high priest rent his clothes" refers to marking HIM, as YAHSHUA'S friends shall be marked as not holding with their teachings. 

"yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service." 

"killeth" 
615 apokteino (ap-ok-ti'-no); 
from 575 and kteino (to slay); to kill outright; figuratively, to destroy: 
KJV-- put to death, kill, slay. 
575 apo (apo'); 
a primary particle; "off," i.e. away (from something near), in various senses (of place, time, or relation; literal or figurative): 
KJV-- (X here-) after, ago, at, because of, before, by (the space of), for (-th), from, in, (out) of, off, (up-) on (-ce), since, with. In composition (as a prefix) it usually denotes separation, departure, cessation, completion, reversal, etc. 

615 apokteino- 
1) to kill in any way whatever, 
to destroy, to allow to perish 
2) metaphorically, to extinguish, to abolish 
a) to inflict mortal death 
b) to deprive of spiritual life and procure eternal misery in hell 
575 apo- 
1) used of separation 
a) used of local separation, after verbs of motion from a place 
that is, of departing, of fleeing 
b) used of separation of a part from the whole 
where of a whole some part is taken 
c) used of any kind of separation of one thing from another by 
which the union or fellowship of the two is destroyed 
d) used of a state of separation, that is, of distance: 
physical: used of distance of place temporal: used of distance of time 
2) used of origin 
a) used of the place whence anything is, comes, befalls, is taken 
b) used of origin of a cause 

Again, there is One Fit Sacrifice for all time and that is YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST. 
And, the sacrifice of flesh animals or people shall not be worthy as a sacrifice, because HE has given us the One Fit Sacrifice for all time, YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST. 

So, this "killeth" refers not of 'murder' or 'physical death', but of "used of any kind of separation of one thing from another by which the union or fellowship of the two is destroyed "; of the spurious supernaturals convincing the people that all that oppose them and their 'God' shall be condemned to hell: "to deprive of spiritual life and procure eternal misery in hell"; the spurious priests excommunicating you from their assemblages: "used of a state of separation", and to destroy the credibility of the Elect through false witnesses brought against you: "figuratively, to destroy". 


John 16: 
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 

What things? 
Delivered up before their councils, accusations made at you, ridiculed and scorned, marked as not being one of the same mind as they are, shunned and excommunicated from their assemblages. 

John 16: 
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 

YAHSHUA has taught us about all these things. And, when the time comes that one may start to stumble or waiver momentarily, HIS Word of Truth shall be remembered, thereby strengthening you. 

5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 

Where is HE going?

Heb 10:7-17 
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (KJV) 

"But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool." 
YAHSHUA must be first spiritually crucified in the hearts and minds of the people before HE returns at the 7th Trump. 

When shall this occur in this final hour? 

Dan 9:27 
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (KJV) 

This occurs when Satan, the spurious 'Jesus/God' shall appear in the sight of flesh men. 
It shall be the time "the sacrifice and the oblation" is no longer to the True YAHSHUA/YHVH, but to Satan, the spurious 'Jesus/God'. 

This is when our True SAVIOR, YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, is replaced in the hearts and minds of the people by the spurious 'Jesus/God', Satan. 
And, the example of this time of the "sacrifice and the oblation to cease" to the True Savior was set for us through YAHSHUA'S crucifixion. 

6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 

Let's look at this word "sorrow": 
3077 lupe (loo'-pay); 
apparently a primary word; sadness: 
KJV-- grief, grievous, + grudgingly, heaviness, sorrow. 

3077 lupe- 
sorrow, pain, grief, annoyance, affliction; 
use of persons mourning 

Should we be sad? Should we desire that these things not occur? Should we be annoyed or have a heavy heart because of these things? 
No, we should rejoice in Our FATHER, HIS Truth, HIS Plan, for we know that when these things occur, we are very close to YAHSHUA'S Return at the 7th Trump. And, all things shall be revealed as YAHSHUA returns, bringing the dimension of Heaven with HIM. We shall all be changed in the twinkling of an eye. No more sinful, perishable flesh to contend with, and full ability restored to our brains.  Amen. 

John 16: 
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 

When shall YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT (the Comforter) come upon YAHSHUA'S friends? 
At the time that the True SAVIOR is crucified in the hearts and minds of the deceived, and Satan the spurious 'Jesus/God' is standing in the Holly Place showing the world he is 'Jesus/God'. 

Mark 13:14-27 
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: 
15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: 
16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. 
17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 
18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 
19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. 
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. 
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 
27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. (KJV) 

II Th 2:4-5 
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? (KJV) 

John 16: 
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 

When YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT comes, HE will "reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" 

"reprove" 
1651 elegcho (el-eng'-kho); 
of uncertain affinity; to confute, admonish: 
KJV-- convict, convince, tell a fault, rebuke, reprove. 

1651 elegcho- 
1) to convict, to refute, to confute 
a) generally with a suggestion of shame of the person convicted 
b) by conviction to bring to the light, to expose 
2) to find fault with, correct 
a) by word: 
1) to reprehend severely, to chide, to admonish, to reprove 
2) to call to account, to show one his fault, to demand an 
explanation 
b) by deed: 
to chasten, to punish 

Who "will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment"? 
YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT. 
It shall not be the spirits (minds) of YAHSHUA'S Friends, YHVH'S Priesthood, nor the Kings and Queens of the Ethnos,  but YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT who shall speak through these from that moment on. 

YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT shall be HE who shall fight this spiritual battle with Satan and his government from this point on in the sequence of events. 

HE will reprove the world "Of sin, because they believe not on me". 

HE will reprove the world "Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;" 

HE will reprove the world "Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged."

John 16: 
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 

YAHSHUA has many more things to say unto HIS servants/friends, but these things can not be written and taught now. 
So, when shall these things (words, utterings) be spoken, taught, and understood by HIS servants/friends? 
When HIS HOLY SPIRIT, The Comforter, comes upon HIS servants/friends, they shall hear and understand. 

"but ye cannot bear them now" 
Have you felt the touch of YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT? 
Have you felt the awesomeness of HIS Power cleansing and spiritually healing you? 
These "rushes" of HIS HOLY SPIRIT can not, at this present time, be held for very long, because HIS SPIRIT is too awesome. 
One can not, at this present time, contain HIS HOLY SPIRIT for extended periods of time, but at the appropriate time, according to YHVH'S Plan, HIS HOLY SPIRIT shall come upon HIS servants and friends, and remain. 

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:" 
When HIS HOLY SPIRIT comes upon HIS servants and friends, they shall no longer have any questions as to where HE shall lead them or how they will be utilized. 
It is no longer the servant's or friend's 'will', but the 'Will' of YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT which shall conduct and lead them, and reveal all unto them. HIS HOLY SPIRIT shall be HE who shall speak through these and utilize their flesh vessels to carry forth HIS Truth and HIS Power, performing miracles in the sight of the people. 

Are you fit to become one of these vessels? 
Have you shown yourself approved unto YHVH, rightly dividing HIS Word of Truth? 
Have you made ready and are you wearing your gospel armour? 
Have you given your will unto Our FATHER as much as you possibly can at this time? 

John 16: 
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 

YHVH shall make known Our SAVIOR'S Glory. 
HE shall accomplish this through HIS HOLY SPIRIT. As HIS HOLY SPIRIT came upon YAHSHUA as a dove, HIS HOLY SPIRIT shall come upon those who are YAHSHUA'S. 

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 

YHVH is the Word, and the Word was made flesh in YAHSHUA. All the knowledge and understanding belongs to YAHSHUA, and HE shall declare all this unto HIS 'friends'. 

16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. 
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? 
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. 
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? 
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 
21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 

What is this "A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me,"? 
And, what is meant by "Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy." 

There is a sequence to the events of the final hour. 
Now, please keep in mind that we are speaking of that which the 144,000 Elect redeemed from the earth (YAHSHUA'S friends) shall endure. 
When Satan's government arrives upon the earth in the sight of men, this shall be a time of teaching. 
The 10 supernatural, spurious 'prophets' shall be disguised as well known religious figures from the major religions of the world. With them there shall be other supernatural fallen angels disguised as 'ministers of righteousness'. 
These shall be teaching their 'Jesus/God' unto the world. But, their 'Jesus/God', who they preparing the world to receive, is Satan, the spurious 'Jesus/God'. 
YHVH'S servants, with YAHSHUA'S servants/friends, shall be teaching YHVH'S Truth. And, they shall be preparing for YAHSHUA'S Return which shall be after Satan, the spurious 'Jesus/God's' arrival. 
Then the time of the delivering up shall begin. And, all who refuse to accept the 'Jesus/God' that these spurious 'prophets' and  'ministers of righteousness' shall be teaching....all who will not bow to the 'image of the beast', shall be brought before their councils. 
Now, these trials, before their councils, shall occur prior to Satan's (the spurious 'Jesus/God') arrival. 

At this time, when YAHSHUA'S friends are delivered up, they shall not premeditate that which they would speak before these councils, but speak only and exactly that which YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT gives them at that moment....no more and no less. 
YAHSHUA'S 'friends' still retain their own 'will' at this moment of the delivering up. And, it is at this moment, that if it were possible, the unforgivable sin could be committed. 

Matt 12:31-32 
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. (KJV) 

This is the final test. And, all of YAHSHUA'S friends who pass this 'test' shall be completely sealed, and their spirits kept from misappropriation. 
YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT shall deem these servants worthy vessels, and at the appropriate time, HIS HOLY SPIRIT shall be poured into these vessels. At the moment that HIS HOLY SPIRIT is come upon these worthy vessels, it shall be HE who shall speak and direct these vessels, for the spirit (mind) of these shall be at rest. 

John 16: 
23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 

"And in that day ye shall ask me nothing." 
This refers back to the prior verse, "And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you", and speaks of the day when HE shall see you again. 
And, that day, speaks of the LORD'S Day (the millennium). 
In the LORD'S Day we shall not have need to ask who is the True YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, nor will we have need to wonder who or where Satan shall be. For, the spurious 'Jesus/God', Satan, shall be revealed for who he truly is and that being the 'son of perdition. And, Satan, shall be in the pit until the end of The LORD'S Day. 

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you." 
Is to say, 'But, if you have need to ask, then ask YHVH, Our FATHER, in the Name of YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, and it shall be given. 

YAHSHUA is giving instructions to us. 
HE is preparing HIS servants/friends for the time likened unto "A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow". 

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 
25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 

Through YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT it shall become plainly known unto HIS servants/friends, no longer "in proverbs". 

26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 
27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 

Speak to Our FATHER directly. 
By asking and speaking unto Our FATHER, 'in the Name of YAHSHUA, MESSIAH', you are acknowledging YAHSHUA as YHVH'S SAVIOR. And, you are acknowledging that YAHSHUA is that 'office' of Our FATHER, who defeated death. 

28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. 
30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? 

"Do ye now believe?" 

32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (KJV) 

There shall come great tribulation. 
The arrival of the supernatural, spurious 'prophets' with the spurious "ministers of righteousness", are just the beginnings. 
Satan, shall come disguised as 'Jesus/God'. He shall bring peace to all who bow to him, but great wrath towards YHVH'S servants/YAHSHUA'S friends. 
When shall Satan arrive? 
After the 'trials before councils', after YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT has sealed up and come upon HIS servants/YAHSHUA'S friends, then shall Satan appear on this earth. 

Rev 12:12 
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.  (KJV) 

When shall YAHSHUA return? 
Three and a half days after YHVH'S Two Witnesses are killed.
