During the days of the Temple, the men took over the religion and the people could no longer see God in the leaders of the Temple. Ruined by 'men.' Unattractive, certainly not lovable characters here, they made people hateful, resentful, causing God to be unattractive.
They were unconverted to God's Religion, they were the ministers of Satan in disguise, wolves in sheeps clothing.
Now is this only in that time period? No. This happens in any time period where men are still being born of women. This will not end till the last man born of woman and then the Final Judgment comes.
Were these dead to God, religious leaders casting out demons? Were they flourishing in Wisdom and giving charitably? Did they practice the law of charity?
No. They lived according to the 'word' of the letter using the Word as a means to an end, and not the spirit of it and they also created and used their own laws for the people to obey and anyone not obeying them were anathema, property taken, many terrible reprisals occurred. God even gave them space to repent turn. 70 years after Christ death and resurrection.
In the end they did not and were banished from the Temple and their land.
How was that possible that the religious leaders were able to con their nation? Simple, they had used force through cunning crafty words and actions that they were the Law Givers and all had to obey them or anathema. God has chosen us to be your leaders, your teachers obey us. Using overbearing methods, deceit, With Fear and Usurping. Not love. Not charity. Not goodness. Not for the Lord. Not for the good of the people so all can have and grow in the Lord. But for their own self regards, their selfish reasons. This happens in all classes in any generation, in any peoples. No one is excluded. Thus Wisdom comes to teach. Gives vision of the truth.
Satan the subplanter sowed his seeds of Negation. Came in the night to seduce and lure. To Negate.
Jesus's Peoples must always be 'spirit' being given the Holy Spirit, Grace, graces, Sacraments, the holy words, dogmas, the Law of God, the Gospel. To live holy, pious, pure. Attractive. Attracting souls to the greatest gift for man. Who comes to ruin this? Satan and his ministers. History lessons full of this as man is still on this earth, and every soul placed into the womb receives the Stain of Sin. Sin is alive and thriving in a good many souls. Sin is the problem here. It brought death, and continues to bring death, turns men into madmen, lose control, commit horrendous acts.
Is Sin just for that particular instance in the Gospel? No, Sin as long as man is born of a woman is passed down in the flesh, hidden, the thorn in the side.
When the Spirit is no longer able to work, then the Church is going through a 'dead' period, where lukewarmness flourishes, where souls are susceptible to worldliness, materialism, become slaves to their flesh. Souls malnourished. These dead souls, are then pruned by the Father, chopped off, because they are ineffective in living holy and pious lives, loving and adoring God first and foremost. From God comes everything. Not men and earth and stars, and planets--what is materially made. The material existence is a tremendous gift from God and man takes advantage of this, living the carnal life with thousands of questions, of why, who, where. Lost.
The Gospel of St John states, I am the Vine you are the branches. If a branch dies, the Father cuts it off and is only good for firewood.
What does this mean? Means to be nourished by the sap of spiritual life which comes from God. The sap is dried up in that branch, no longer bears fruit.
The Lord advised men to constantly ask for the refreshing of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, "Holy Spirit, refresh your baptism in me." There are many reasons for this all pointing to lack of constance in the soul, to daily plow his field. Reasons of spiritual decay. Reasons the flesh of man, his ego, will of the flesh. Influences that pine at the flesh to run the show be king over the soul. Wrong thoughts being entertained. No prayer life. No Mass at the correct parish which give Both Species. More on this in this forum. It comes down to daily working the plow, on the field of your soul. Making sure your free will is a good cultivator. Wise, intelligent, knows the Gospel, loves the Gospel. Lives with the same people who have the same mind and will. The same thoughts, the same goal --to do God's will. Nothing else matters but God's will. God loves us all he is the giver of life and does he not take care of the sparrow? How much more is man! His greatest creation, his time spent on man, to redeem man!
Now as we read below from the Books of Acts, a magician called Simon witnesses healing, and demons being cast out. He saw the power and was coveting it the wrong way. Read below to get the gist. This is what man out in the world wants, the power to do anything supernaturally barring themselves not joined to God. Pagans and Heathens.
Jesus said, explicitly, "What I Do, You Can Do Also" But for the benefit of the Kingdom of God in Love. Love is always the rule. When one is fused to God, one takes on the character, likeness, image of God explicitly. They are then sons of God.
What is Jesus? Son of God.
What was Adam? A Son of God.
What does God create? Sons.
What did Satan want? His own sons. So he tricked, seduced the woman to have 'sex'. Be like him loss of Grace and tossed into the Abyss. The sons of Satan live in Hell, the abyss, they are all his sons, with his image and likeness.
Imitate and assimilate is what Jesus stated to do. Imitate and assimilate My Ways, My words, My Lifestyle. Do what I do. --Jesus Christ, God and Man.
Now the Apostles, had the Holy Spirit Baptize them in power to go and do the works of Christ. Followers after the Master, the disciples of the Master do what the Master had done and accomplished. Imitators who assimilated Christ. It is all through the work of the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit with Jesus together. To build the body of Christ.
Always use Jesus Name in all things. If not, the Demon has advantage.
Jesus never had to use His Name, He is.
Jesus said, whatever you do in my name. In Me is all. God's Bounty.
Peace be with you always
