DIVISION IN FAMILY

Matthew 10:35
“For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—’”

#1 “For…”
Yahoshua has said rather than peace on the earth, he is bringing a sword. In the current age, he will not save all men and women, but only those who believe and choose him, turning them in opposition to the world.

#2 “…I have come…”
Before one could believe in his miracles, his resurrection, and his coming again, the first act of faith is to believe in his incarnation from a virgin and the Spirit of Elohim.

#3 “to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother,”
Micah spoke it. Elohim himself calls us to honor our father and mother (Ex 20:12).

#4 “a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.’”
This is the least surprising of the family conflicts. Nevertheless, in the ancient world for a young wife to stand up to her elder mother-in-law was radical.
