Contempt
CONTEMPT, n. [L. See Contemn.]
1. The act of despising; the act of viewing or considering and treating as mean, vile and worthless; disdain; hatred of what is mean or deemed vile. This word is one of the strongest expressions of a mean opinion which the language affords.
2. The state of being despised; whence in a scriptural sense, shame, disgrace.
Some shall awake to everlasting contempt. Dan 7.
3. In law, disobedience of the rules and orders of a court, which is a punishable offense.
 

The rebellion of the 60's has produced the contempt for authority that we are seeing in the 2000's.  Many of us are products of that rebellious generation and only because of the blood of Yeshua has we escaped the judgment that comes with rebellion.  However some of us are dealing with this rebellion of authority in our own children as well.   We need to confess this sin if we are guilty of it.

 

However we see that "contempt' in some ways spilling over to the Messianic Movement.   We do not want to walk in Divine Order that God set up, we all want to do what is right in our own eyes and not sit under Divine authority.  In the Church's we show contempt for God's Torah, despising those who would even dare teach that we still need His Torah today.

 

It is God who set up the order found in the Tabernacle, the order of Leadership in the Tenach and well as the Brit HaDasha and order in the Heavenlies.  It is Yeshua who gave the leadership to the Congregations.

 

God has Divine order and when we rebel against that we produce chaos in our lives and in the Body of Messiah and His Community.

 

Eph 5:21 Submit to one another in fear of the Messiah.
Eph 5:22 Wives should submit to their husbands as they do to the Lord;
Eph 5:23 because the husband is head of the wife, just as the Messiah, as head of the Messianic Community, is himself the one who keeps the body safe.
Eph 5:24 Just as the Messianic Community submits to the Messiah, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Eph 5:25 As for husbands, love your wives, just as the Messiah loved the Messianic Community, indeed, gave himself up on its behalf,
Eph 5:26 in order to set it apart for God, making it clean through immersion in the mikveh, so to speak,
Eph 5:27 in order to present the Messianic Community to himself as a bride to be proud of, without a spot, wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and without defect.
Eph 5:28 This is how husbands ought to love their wives - like their own bodies; for the man who loves his wife is loving himself.
Eph 5:29 Why, no one ever hated his own flesh! On the contrary, he feeds it well and takes care of it, just as the Messiah does the Messianic Community,
Eph 5:30 because we are parts of his Body.
Eph 5:31 "Therefore a man will leave his father and mother and remain with his wife, and the two will become one."
Eph 5:32 There is profound truth hidden here, which I say concerns the Messiah and the Messianic Community.
Eph 5:33 However, the text also applies to each of you individually: let each man love his wife as he does himself, and see that the wife respects her husband. Eph 4:8 This is why it says, "After he went up into the heights, he led captivity captive and he gave gifts to mankind."

Eph 4:9 Now this phrase, "he went up," what can it mean if not that he first went down into the lower parts, that is, the earth?
Eph 4:10 The one who went down is himself the one who also went up, far above all of heaven, in order to fill all things.
Eph 4:11 Furthermore, he gave some people as emissaries, some as prophets, some as proclaimers of the Good News, and some as shepherds and teachers.
Eph 4:12 Their task is to equip God's people for the work of service that builds the body of the Messiah,
Eph 4:13 until we all arrive at the unity implied by trusting and knowing the Son of God, at full manhood, at the standard of maturity set by the Messiah's perfection.
Eph 4:14 We will then no longer be infants tossed about by the waves and blown along by every wind of teaching, at the mercy of people clever in devising ways to deceive.
Eph 4:15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in every respect grow up into him who is the head, the Messiah.
Eph 4:16 Under his control, the whole body is being fitted and held together by the support of every joint, with each part working to fulfill its function; this is how the body grows and builds itself up in love. 

It is a dangerous thing to walk out of Divine order, God brings order ha satan brings chaos.

To treat godly parents and godly teachers with contempt is a sin against God himself who placed them in authority.
