Matthew's writings of the Gospel of the kingdom were inspired. But what do they tell us in the context of the times and the precepts of the kingdom of God may turn your world upsidedown. Why should we Judge not? Why were there hypocrisies? What made the way crooked and straight? Do false prophets teach the workers of iniquity? Who are Foolish men and wise?

Comments, more Decrees of the king
V1 Judge not[1] is because we are in a cause and effect universe.
V2 What judgment will you be measured (metrō metreite metrēthēsetai) by?[2] Is it the judgment or precedent of Moses?[3][4]
V3 V4 The pharisees had it wrong, they lived in darkness,[5] and were making the word of God to none effect.
If you judge it is okay to desire benefits at the expense of others through men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority then you are engaged in the covetous practices[6] that makes men merchandise. From the provisions of Nimrod to they dainties of the tables of rulers which are a snare and a trap[7] men have been entangle in the yoke of bondage and curse children.
From the city-states of Cain and Sumer or the flesh pots of Egypt and the cities of blood, like Nimrod's Babylon these systems of legal charity are the covetousness Paul calls idolatry.[8] Like the Corban of the Pharisees they make the word of God to no effect, degenerating the masses to become perfect savages.
The blindness[9] of the modern Church to the immorality of a social safety net through institutions of "force and violence" public welfare
V5 Jesus talks a great deal about not being a hypocrite. The politicians of the world rule over the people for money because the people rule over their neighbors for the the dainties of those rulers. They love the benefits of the reward of unrighteousness more than they love their neighbor. And as they judge so are they judged.
Do you know how to give good gifts or do you take and take?
The warning of Jesus to be a doer of the word in Matthew 7:21, 22 are repeated in other chapters as a constant reminder:[10]
The warnings about people being workers of iniquity while thinking they are believers are all over scripture.
Being a doer of His word is essential to salvation. We know by that preserved word that "many" will be so deluded that even though they will read His words, claim to follow Him, and think they are doing things in His name they will actually be counted by Him and told by Him that they are workers of iniquity.
We also know because Luke 13:27 "But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity."

It should therefore be so clear to everyone who say they are Christian or think they hear and believe Jesus that they need to actually be doing what He said to do. Matthew 7 through the context of the Doctrines of Jesus, Everyone should be asking daily themselves and others whether in the institutional church or even in the house churches, "Am I and are we doing what he said to do or doing what he said not to do?" "Are we Workers of iniquity?

Augustine of Hippo paraphrased this idea in one of his homilies only to have it band as "hate speech."...the less they concentrate on their own sins, the more interested they become in the sins of others. They seek to criticize, not to correct. Unable to excuse themselves, they are ready to accuse. '
V5 The Pharisees were hypocrites because they said they knew Moses but they did not.[11]
V8-9 in this same instruction concerning the Pharisees Jesus equates the casting pearls before swine while speaking of taking responsibility for what we fail to see.
V24 Distinction is made between a doer and a hearer is equated with the metaphors of "rock" and "sand". A rock is a symbol of faith.[12]
To repent, seek, and be a doer are common themes of His doctrine.
V15-17 What has been the fruit of the Modern Church but division[13] and denominations. The returning the people to the bondage of Egypt through the covetous practices that have always turned the masses into merchandise and curse children dividing[13] them from God.
V16 Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Instead of a daily ministration of Pure Religion through Fervent charity they have taught the people the ways of legal charity from men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other.
V21 Warns of the need to be the doers.[10]
V26 Do not fail to be doers [10]
V29 He taught as one having authority.[14]


Matthew 7

Judge not

[1] Judge not[1], that ye be not judged.

[2] For with what judgment[2] ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.[4]

[3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

[4] Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Hypocrite

[5] Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

[6] Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

[7] Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

[8] For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

[9] Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

[10] Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

[11] If ye then, being evil[15], know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

The strait gate

[12] Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

[13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

[14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

False prophets

[15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

[16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

[17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil[15] fruit.

[18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil[15] fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

[19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Workers of iniquity

[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Wise men

[24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

[25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Foolish men

[26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

[27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Doctrine of Jesus

[28] And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

[29] For he taught them as one having authority[14], and not as the scribes.

Genesis 42:21
    "I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them."

    1 Timothy 6:9 "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
  8. Covetousness is idolatry

    Matthew 25:11 "Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us." See Foolish virgins and Workers of iniquity.
    Luke 6:46 "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."
    Luke 13:25 "When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:" See Workers of iniquity.
    John 3:19 "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." See Born again.
    John 9:31 "Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth."
  11. John 5:42-43 "[42]But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. [43]I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. [44]How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? [45]Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. [46]For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. [47]But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
  12. Matthew 16:17-19 "And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. [18]And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. [19]And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
  13. 13.0 13.1 Divide and conquer
    Romans 16:17 "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." see also 2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
    1 Corinthians 1:10 "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment... 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"
    1 Corinthians 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you."
    Galatians 5:13-21 "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another... Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings,... shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
    1 Corinthians 3: 3-9 "For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?... 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, [ye are] God’s building."
    James 3: "14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure (truly pure), then peaceable(eirenikosfrom eirene "a state of national tranquility"), gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
    Philippians 2: 3 "[Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Lo k not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:"
    Isaiah 59:1-2."1 Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear. 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4 None calleth for justice, nor [any] pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 5 They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper."
    1 Corinthians 8:1 "Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth."
