The righteous people of the LORD GOD carry out the works that the LORD GOD Wills, but often, those works cannot be accomplished until the conditions and times are just right.

"Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin" (John 8:34).The whole issue of the "Jews of John" is SPIRITUAL in nature, not physical.
