Is the fig tree bloomed?

The Kingdom is nigh?

God morning! Blessed be & thank you Father for this day, thank you for sharing your time with us, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In Jesus/Yahushua’s holy name...We thank you that we are filled with You in Love and Grace, as we learn more and grow in Your Word, and in You. Take from us anything that may hinder our growth, and anything that is not of You, we thank you for less of us more of You.

As we see one another as brothers, and sisters, as Your children, in One Body, and One Church...Your Church, as we walk under your protection from anything not of You, or Your will, as we are filled with your Word, and still in your peace, at your feet, we are Yours’, Blessed & grateful. Blessed be the Lord God Almighty, the Son & Holy Spirit. Your will be done forever!

(Thank you, for all things in Yahushua's Holy Name...we say Ephphatha, “be opened”, to hearing, seeing, and speaking the Word, guided by the Holy Spirit..so be it. )

Last week in Chapter 20 we saw Christ being tested, tempted and questioned by the finger pointers. They do this throughout the Gospels. This is the evil in the world, constantly questioning and opposing the Word of YHWH. We even see this among so called followers and church goers, who need YHWH’s Word to meet their needs and lifestyles, so they can remain in sin. They argue over the meanings of scripture, over verses that are plainly defined and confirmed in the complete story of YHWH in Christ, that we are given from the beginning of the text in Genesis tot he end in Revelation.

Some of these discussions are innocent and educational to those that are truly seeking YHWH in Christ, however, others expose peoples hearts, and the evil they allow to lead them, is clearly visible in their fruits. Their words, and actions show otherwise, they do not reflect a Life in Christ or even as a jew, a follower of the Word of YHWH.

We see this today in churches around the world, and online, people want recognition, likes, fame, fortune, and notoriety. Discussing opposing views gets views, just as the old saying, “negative publicity is still publicity.” We see it in videos and sermons, “the most misunderstood verse in the Bible.” YHWH/Christ are all knowing, imagine knowing all. Well we can in Him He teaches us.

1 John 2:20 “20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.”

1 John 2:27 “27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”

1 Corinthians 2:15 “15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.”

Having the mind of Christ, is YHWH’s intention from the beginning.

Romans 8:29 “29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”

Romans 12:2 “2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Bible verses have depth, they were created by the creator of all things, they have multiple teachings but in the same direction, they’re pointing to Christ.

By creating these open discussions, It gives evil an audience, a chance for the shadow/evil to be recognized as opposed to its disappearing in the Light. This is the world we live in of evil, given first to satan, the prince of the power of air. These men following and harassing Christ are a prime example. Trying and testing for Him to stumble, as adam and eve stumbled in the garden. Every question they can think of, to trick, even by using doctrine that's not in scripture, tempting Him into debates, and even trying to cause Him to loose His temper, which would oppose His own doctrine of a Loving God,(Love YHWH, love thy neighbor) and His nature(do good to them that persecute you).

YHWH gives us the gift to see through these intentions, the tricks of evil, the deceiver comes as a thief; he comes to question your Faith in Christ. Remember, our Faith is not in our works, you cannot do something to come to Christ. YHWH calls you to Christ, as He did for Peter. As we just saw in Romans 8:29, men are predestinated. CHOSEN TO BE CONFORMED, ANOINTED ALREADY. It’s an uncomfortable calling. It’s change that only YHWH can do. Not any man, not any procedure, not any works. He calls, and you have a choice to answer, ignore or hang up the call. Once you answer the call, and seek Him there is a fear, this YHWH of all things is calling me, who am I? Why do I feel this way. I’m a lowly sinner, what can He possibly want with me? We question and we get lost in the world that knows Him not. Listening to others in the world we can lose our direction. We must listen to Him and Him alone. We must answer the call and seek him ourselves. When we do, there’s more anointing of many gifts like, knowledge, wisdom, understanding. Which gives us the ability to understand the Love & Grace of YHWH in Christ, and His plans from the beginning. It also gives us the ability to see Him in others as well as seeing the deceiver, tempting, questioning you. One of the greatest gifts in this is that it gives us the ability to see who Loves YHWH in Christ and is seeking Him, therefore they Love us! We can see who is concerned for our Faith and Life in Christ. Those are the ones trying to sharpen us and being detailed about our Faith. Concerned for our true well being, and Loving us as a neighbor because they Love YHWH in Christ. Our jobs in Christ is to help one another in Word and deed, for those who are called, are His. We are all children of YHWH, but we must choose His Way, Truth and Life eternal in His Son. Thank you Karla, and Kathy for sharing the Word with me. Following Christ is not a works-based system, a spiritual system where a person earns acceptance, a good afterlife, or divine favor through personal good deeds, moral behavior, rituals, or keeping commandments. We are chosen, anointed, set-apart as holy ones, separate by YHWH Himself.

1 Peter 2:9 “9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”

This verse in Peter is why YHWH choose Peter to confirm Christ being His Son, and Christ offering Him the Keys to the Kingdom. Because He knew YHWH chose Him for that purpose that moment. Christ came to expose the thief and his antics, his deception, his trickery, as well as him being powerless if we are in the Word/Christ od YHWH.

John 10:10 “10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

Christ has these men following Him, and they cannot stand in His Light, He exposes them every time. But it is not just the flesh He defeats, He defeats sin and death. His fight was with His spiritual enemy, and evil itself, the shadows of death, the cause of the fall of man, the snake in the garden.

Ephesians 6:12 “12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

The adversary of YHWH Almighty, All Goodness, our Holy Father in Heaven. These minions of evil are no match for YHWH in Christ, and He completes YHWH’s plan to save all in Christ His Son. So, remember this when we read, nothing can defeat YHWH, nothing can take you or separate you from the Love of YHWH in Christ Yahushua.

Romans 8:38–39 “38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Luke 21:1–4 KJV 1900

1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

When we give YHWH all we have He recognizes this and He rewards us. He is specifically referring to the rich, their gifts have no meaning but to themselves, to their pride they serve themselves. They give to be seen giving and are at church to be seen at church. This women came to see YHWH and brought all she had just to show up!

Luke 21:5–7 KJV 1900

5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

This prophecy came true in 70 AD. The temple was burned by the Romans and the Roman soldiers broke every rock to get the gold.

Luke 21:8–12 KJV 1900

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. 10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. 12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.

So all these things will happen and take place but first there will be persecution of His followers. It doesn’t get better for Christ followers but we will be protected.

Luke 21:13–19 KJV 1900

13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. 18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

He protects us. Many will betray us, family and friends to save themselves will fall to evil. We will have the Holy Spirit to guide us and speak for us. We will be hated among men for His name sake, but we will not perish, not even a hair on our heads. Keep your Souls he says, do not falter in Faith.

Luke 21:20–25 KJV 1900

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

We see these things now, is it time? The gentiles are already in Jerusalem, they’re ashkenazi not semites. They are of the sythians, killers, thieves, the edomites, the khazars, all enemies of everyone.

Luke 21:26–28 KJV 1900

26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

People without Faith will die in fear, but those in Christ will be strengthened and ready for the redemption in Christ.

Luke 21:29–38 KJV 1900

29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. 38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

He gives us all these visual prophecies for us to know when the time is. He promises us when we stay in Him and in Spirit we are protected and that not a hair on our head will perish. Even though some are dead in the flesh, not a hair will perish.

All of this must take place, we are now aware of the signs, therefore stay in Faith, and as He did after this teaching, He went and spent the night, and abode in the Mount, the mount of olives, the oil mount, the Spiritual oil of the Holy Spirit. The same oil for the 10 virgins, keeping the faith in the Word/Christ of and in YHWH, continually. Watching and praying continually. Accounted worthy, then we shall stand before Him.

AleluYAH! Bless and Praise Christ Yahushua and the Lord YHWH Almighty for all His Holiness in all things He is Awesome!
