No idea why and often. Ho...I lost my message again! No idea why and often. Hope the other nessages reached you. In Scripture we have so much. If we don't read we won't know. So yes fig tree is great example. One sign if times other death,even though was not right time. It is'nt up to us time. Jesus gave us several examples of readiness; His authority re calming of the sea.Jesus calmed the sea & quieted the strong wind, so yes He can cause the fruitless fig tree to never live again. All of creation is obligated to know & obey, in or out of season. As to what is happening in our time. We have always had horrible killings,war, slave trade. I'm not sur of such horrific human slaughter, senseless killings to include crucifixion of little children. Placing bombs in planes, many more to include suicide bombers. Cause own death to kill many. How can a person be persuaded to commit such crimes. Is this time Satan asked. This is work of Satan,his fallen army to include all people who have thrown away their humaness for satanics. Rember Jesus said He will be with us and help us even if we go through terrible suffering- but our reward....Heaven and there is so very much in this word; Heaven. We must get through this time. We must call upon Our Lord. Call loud for Jesus. Most of us must know we are in a Spiritual War. Our Govt is & will not Help. Just think of our laws.Think of God taken away- out of the equation. Does anyone think Our Lord is happy? How much will He accept ? We must wake up. We were given all we need. It's up to us to KNOW to learn & accept. We may be short on time.

Yes we are to pay attention; watch for signs. Using the fig tree, when leaves are green,we know the season. This in the Gospel o Mark. In the Gospel of Matthew, fig tree symbolized as death. It was not season for fruit, Jesus was hungry right then,being not the tree's time it had no fruit. Jesus made the fig tree die-never to give fruit to anyone again. The Apostles were amazed & perhaps puzzled. As with Our Blessed Mary with Baby Jesus in Arms also Dear St Joseph on Temple Steps for custom. It was here Simeon kne and proclaimed God could now take him for he had seen The Messiah. Simeon also reminde Mary Her Precious Chid would be a contradiction within the world. Simeon being a known Prophet said to the loving Mother of Jesus, her heart/soul would be pierced through. I will have more to say- don't want to loose this. I will return here. Much within thes Scripture words Ivysnow3567Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
