Beware the leaven of Herod, Pharisees, and Sadducees
Leaven is an unseen pervasiveness, something that affects subliminally but warrants a reaction.
An all pervasive effect on something else.
And there are three types~
Pharisees would be seen as those who cared most for seemingly holy living. Creating for themselves unwritten traditions where they observe the law (and their fences they made for themselves & others) yet neglect true love. They added to the written scriptures.
They had little interest or sway in politics or government and cared more for legalism. A licentiousness, a perceived righteousness that manifests as a show of pride in preaching and observance but not in correct practice. - ~HYPOCRISY
Sadducees would be seen as the ruling priestly establishment and as those who subtract from the written scriptures as they only regarded the Books of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) and did not regard the Prophets, the Psalms, or any of the wisdom literature (Job, Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes & Proverbs) They also did not believe in the afterlife, angels or the supernatural. A very worldly and corrupt ruling class.
~UNBELIEVING ELITISM
Then thereโs Herod. Herod the Great was the one who when at around the time of Jesusโ birth sent an edict out to slay all male infants under 2 near and around Bethlehem, where they fled to Egypt for a time until his death.
The Herod after is his son who beheaded John the Baptist (Jesusโ cousin). John the Baptist condemned Herod and Herodias for their relationship as she was his half brotherโs ex wife and in Jewish law it was forbidden, also he was not dead. So he was put in prison and wasnโt killed for fear of the Jews until his wife influenced her daughter to ensnare him into a request to have him beheaded and brought on a platter.
Thereโs also the Herodians which were Jews who adhered to his reign for supposed stability and peace.
~COMPROMISING FOR THE WORLD/NEGLECTING MATTERS OF THE SPIRIT
โFor Herod had John arrested and bound him and put him in prison [at the fortress of Machaerus, east of the Jordan, to keep him away] because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, for John had said to him, โIt is not lawful (morally right) for you to have her [living with you as your wife].โโ
โ Matthew 14:3-4
โJesus repeatedly ordered them, saying, โWatch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.โโ
โ Mark 8:15
โJesus said to them, โWatch out and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.โโ

โ Jonah 4:3-11 AMP
โTherefore now, O Lord, just take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.โ Then the Lord said, โDo you have a good reason to be angry?โ Then Jonah went out of the city and sat east of it. There he made himself a shelter and sat under its shade so that he could see what would happen in the city. So the Lord God prepared a plant and it grew up over Jonah, to be a shade over his head to spare him from discomfort. And Jonah was extremely happy about [the protection of] the plant. But God prepared a worm when morning dawned the next day, and it attacked the plant and it withered. When the sun came up God prepared a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonahโs head so that he fainted and he wished to die, and said, โIt is better for me to die than to live.โ Then God said to Jonah, โDo you have a good reason to be angry about [the loss of] the plant?โ And he said, โI have a [very] good reason to be angry, angry enough to die!โ Then the Lord said, โYou had compassion on the plant for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, which came up overnight and perished overnight. Should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 [innocent] persons, who do not know the difference between their right and left hand [and are not yet accountable for sin], as well as many [blameless] animals?โโ
I think it needs to be said that the devil is real, and not a result of sin, or of men's imagination. The devil is a real entity, the demons are actual spiritual entities. They are not the source of evil, but they are the conduit. Our decision to sin is the cause of evil. Our decision to entertain the demons for earthly gain is the cause of evil. The devils and demons, of course, tempt us to sin, but they cannot force us to sin. We are making that decision. To blame everything on the demons or the devil is to rid yourself of accountability, to say the demons and devil don't exist is to think too important of yourself.
Many say "God" but when you say the name "Jesus" a lot of people become uncomfortable. There is power in the Name of the One whom heaven and earth flee from the face of.
I and the Father are One
-Jesus

It's always so interesting when a Catholic hears the TRUE gospel of grace, they often react with something like this.
Muslims react the same way too. Do they not believe in a God who changes a believer's heart and desires?
Some people were just born to fight i think. Itโs not that theyโre born strong, just that God decided that โthis one will have grit and fire and steel in their bloodโ and it will be tested, time after time
@rachelvsbabylon Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
