Rev. Jesse Jackson: Jesus Was Killed Because He ‘Occupied’ the Corrupt Temple

Apr. 8, 2012 9:08pm

Tim Tebow wasn’t the only famous figure to deliver an Easter message this weekend.  Reverend Jesse Jackson marked the occasion with a message of his own– that Jesus was an “Occupier.”

(Related: Tim Tebow Draws Massive Crowd to Celebration Church on Easter Sunday)

Jackson was speaking to a crowd of predominantly “Occupy Chicago” individuals when he made the analogy, right after a “Chicago Spring” event.

After introducing Jesus as an “immigrant” and “refugee,” as “someone who fought for the poor because He was among the poor,” Reverend Jackson asked the group to recall when Jesus cleared the moneychangers out of the Temple in Jerusalem.

“But why was he killed?” he said. “Because he fought, and he occupied the corrupt Temple.  He went to the house of prayer to pray, and found corruption [in] the holy place.”

Jackson becomes somewhat difficult to understand after that, but he clearly refers to a “woman across the street” who “is the 99%.”  Perhaps he is referring to the woman Jesus spoke of in Mark 12:41-44:

41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. 43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

This is not the first time Reverend Jackson has referred to Jesus as an “Occupier.”  Back in December, he said Jesus, Ghandi, Mandela, and Martin Luther King were all Occupiers.

I wonder how these lauded men would feel about the rampant crime, rape, and filth reported at the Occupy camps?

      Preferably aim it towards Russia or Kenya.

      His only claim to fame is that he stood with MLK on a balcony.

      OMGosh!!! I always suspect that “REV” Jesse Jackson was not really a Christian, not educated in the faith, but a user. Every real Christian knows that JESUS came to DIE for our SINS. That’s it. He was not here as anything other that what He is…the WAY to Heaven. Whatever is Good, decent, honorable, truthful, loving, kind, considerate, peaceful…that is JESUS. The Occupiers are nothing like that, but they should be. NONE OF US like crony capitalism, Obama styled “favoritism’ Marxism, Communism, Socialism, Islamic Sharia- ism… the way people like Jackson and the OWS are going about their “protests” are not accomplishing anything but making Jackson more $$.

      It is amazing that Jackson calls himself a Reverend and does not even know why Jesus died on the cross.

      “No one takes my life from me. I give my life of my own free will. I have the authority to give my life, and I have the authority to take my life back again.” John 10:18

      We had to wait till Jackie Kennedy died, before we find out what she thought of MLK “that man’s terrible” and that’s what Robert told her.
      The secret FBI wiretaps of a hotel suite occupied by MLK the night before his historic speech revealed he telephoned white women to invite them to a sex party, where he would beat the woman doing sex.
      The surveillance tapes, made by FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover, remain sealed by court order until 2027.
      So since the tapes are sealed till 2027 us white people have 15 more years of getting dumbed down by how great MLK was.

      Obama paved the way for Jessy to come out of the Closet with his anti-Christian BS, when Obama attacked the Church – Women support of Obama went up and Blacks support remained the same.

      We now know that Jackson is against God – Can we also assume that all Blacks and 75% of the Women in America have also turned their back on God with their support of Obama.

      There is not a single man or women walking on the Earth that I will trade my Soul for.

      Here are just 2 reasons that your vote (Your Deed) should not go for Obama – unless you like swimming in a Lake of Fire.
      1) Obama told Israel to go back to 1967 Borders – This would be instant death to the “Apple of Gods Eye” if that happens.
      2) Obama attacking the Catholic Church.

      There are many others, but based on these two items alone – your Vote (You Deed) will bring God’s judgement on you – according to the Bible!

      Don’t get mad at me – I’m in sales – God’s in management.

      And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am [the 99%],’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them. (Luke 21:8)

      The USA. There is a difference between “coining” money and “controlling” money. With the creation of the Federal Reserve, a NONGOVERNMENTAL, PRIVATE BANK, the USA illegally ceded its authority to “coin” money to an entity that “controls” money through debt. The only control the Federal Government should have is to have Fort Knox filled with gold and silver and then issue paper currency BACKED by said gold and silver. Each citizen should be able to go to any bank and exchange his paper currency for real gold and silver AT ANY TIME (‘cept bank holidays of course ;).

      Exactly. And of course what prompted them to crucify Jesus was that He said He is God. Mark 14:61b-64a
      ” Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
      62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
      63 The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”

    Has Jessie Jackson even read the Bible??? Jesus was killed “Because he fought, and he occupied the corrupt Temple”. I guess Jesus’ death had nothing to do with Rev Jackson’s sins. When Rev Jackson makes statements like this he just shows just how ignorant he is about the Bible. A book that he claims to preach and follow. When he says things like this, it makes me doubt Rev Jackson’s salvation. Has he ever trusted Jesus as his Savior and Lord? His words seem to show he never did that.

    Hubris is the only thing that “occupies” Jackson.

    The man has absolutely no shame, no morals and no redeeming value. Nothing he can say will ever surprise me after this.

    And what religious institution of higher learning did the reverend Jackson attend ? These ” social justice ” types are so far from Christ’s mission and message. He did not come to ” put a chicken in every pot.” Jesus was concerned with man’s spiritual life. He prayed. He taught people to love. Jesus would be Horrified at the Hate and Division that so-called clerics like Jackson and politicians like Obama are spewing in His name. He was NOT a political Messiah. He was a spiritual Messiah. He taught a message of LOVE not hating ” evil capitalists” and redistributing their goods ( was called: Thou shalt not steal in those days ! ) Jesus would look at our Occupiers and say : Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Hate always leads to death and destruction.

    Jackson is an idiot and so are the people who believe him.
