You should read...John 11:45-57 - especially vs. (49-53)  

Caiaphas was not advising any one as you say as he was not in on the plot with the Pharisees to kill Jesus.  Instead Caiaphas who was the high priest that year told them that they didn't know any thing at all (vs. 49).  Nor was they taking it into account that it was expedient (necessary) for Jesus to die for them so none would perish (vs. 50).  Caiaphas was speaking concerning Jesus being our High Priest and was not speaking of his own self (vs. 51)....

 

Nonetheless, "... The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets" (1 Cor. 14:32).

It's not as if Caiaphas was "possessed."

What???

I never said or even suggested that Caiaphas was possessed.  Where did that come from?  :noidea: 

It was the Spirit of God that revealed those things to Caiaphas concerning Jesus during the course of what was happening as they were plotting to kill Jesus.   During what was going on Caiaphas prophesied the truth by the Spirit of God concerning the man Jesus as it was the will of God that he would lay down his life willingly paying the ransom price for the sins of the world.

A straw man argument as no one said or even suggested that you did. Nonetheless "... The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets" (1 Cor. 14:32).

Or are you saying these spirits are not subject to the prophets?

We know what Caiaphas said about Jesus.  

What exactly does your scripture about "the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets" have to do with anything?  

How does it affect the meaning of what Caiaphas prophesied concerning Jesus.  

Your argument comes across as a straw man argument to me.      More of a diversion if you will.

What does prophecy have to do with those doing the prophesizing, i.e., does Caiaphas bear any personal responsibility for advising the Sanhedrin that it was expedient for Jesus die on behalf of the people (John 18:14) because he was acting as High Priest that year?

Was Caiaphas merely the messenger, or did he actually concur with this course of action?

     Interesting question because you ask"Knowing what you know today",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Had I been one in the crowd,I don't know what i would have been ,thought or said,as one of them,,,,,but this question is different,,,,,,,,,,,probably with the same answer "I don't know?"

     Knowing "Jesus" I suppose is what makes the question so difficult for me to answer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,knowing 'what" I know,,,,I know that He had to give His Life for all of us,,,,Knowing "Who" I know I know I could not  have yelled"Crucify Him,crucify Him"........I'm sure I would not be unlike one of the Mary's ,John or Peter & just wept, I would not have w4anted to see my Lord,my God suffer & die for me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Praise Jesus

I guess the point of the question is that we know Jesus had to die- and for us salvation is accepting that he did--- but if we had been there before he gave himself for us we would have had to ask him to do it for us.    

I was imagining in my mind standing before Jesus and saying " Please Lord. die for me"  made me look at his sacrifice a little differently

No I do not believe that Caiaphas bore any personal responsibility for prophesying.  Those that were plotting to kill Jesus through false accusations and such simply did not know what was happening they just didn't want the people to believe on Jesus.  Caiaphas was stating a fact of what was happening as it was necessary (expedient) for Jesus to die so salvation would come to the world.  Caiaphas even told those plotting to kill Jesus that they knew nothing at all concerning Jesus.  If they had knew who Jesus really was then they wouldn't have plotted to catch him or crucify him.   Caiaphas was only speaking forth what the Spirit of God revealed to him and what was written by the Old Testament prophets concerning Jesus.  

The Pharisees and the Sanhedrin's were not prophets nor was Caiaphas a prophet (if that is what you are suggesting they were and therefore they had to submit to one another). Perhaps you could clarify for us what you think it actually means for "the spirits of the prophets to be subject unto the prophets".    

I do not believe that Caiaphas was in on the plot to kill Jesus one bit but spoke forth (prophesied) the truth to them of Jesus being the Savior of the world being sent by God.  The Spirit of God revealed this to Caiaphas during the things that were going on around him.   Those plotting to kill Jesus so that the people wouldn't believe on him had no clue what the will of God was that was being fulfilled that the Old Testament prophets had written concerning Jesus.    I do not believe at all that Caiaphas agreed (concurred. or went along with) the Sanhedrin's or the Pharisees plot to kill Jesus.  Caiaphas counsel (prophecy) instead revealed who Jesus was to them the only begotten Son of God who would pay the ransom price for the sins of the world.  Obviously they gave no heed to Caiaphas's words and went forward false accusing Jesus among the mob so they would crucify Him.

In Exodus, Pharaoh is said to have hardened his heart about as many times as God was said to have hardened it. And there is no attempt in the text to reconcile these two positions: they are both presented as being equally true.

And even if Caiaphas was part of the plot to kill Jesus, I doubt he was unaware of it since the Sanhedrin not only took council to kill Christ (John 11:53) but Lazarus as well (John 12:9-11).

As high priest how could Caiaphas have been so clueless not to know any of these plots being hatched right under his own nose?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
