Sorry m8 but as for a fictional books go, i perfer Lord Of The Rings, its just got a better plot

[@hashemisbeautiful6615]

Interesting video. Have you ever wondered why the Jewish Temple should have a region dedicated for Gentiles in the first place? Let's put this in context, what other religion's holiest site had an area for Jews, for example, or for people of other religions? The fact that the Temple had an area for Gentiles shows its inclusivity, not its exclusivity. See Kings 1 8:41-43. Judaism _is_ inclusive, but it has boundaries, and boundaries aren't bad.

It’s just like exercising, you miss a few days, months or years and then you realized you have fallen short of his glory. John said it perfectly, “For everything in the world - The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Aren’t those the very temptations that invade our own lives today? That pull at our peace - and cause us to take our eyes off God? God have mercy of us all!, I do not want to be a dead tree.

The Lord said; he wouldn't put too much of us that we can't handle. 1 Corinthians 10:13 - There hath no temptation taken hold of you but such as is common to man. But God is faithful; He will not suffer you to be tempted beyond that which ye are able to bear, but with the temptation will also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple 15 So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 16 And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple. 17 Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ” Jesus do what is right about the temple because instead they worship God with their goods. Which what they earn in their blessing in return God. But instead they let Gentiles steal their blessing by those uncleanse gifts. Which not from the blessing God to they and not their fruit. Means they have no fruit. Example you harvest but the other is one who earn. The Gentiles and buyers become entitled stealers because instead the Israel will become the central of fruitfulness and wealth and offer to God. The Fruits they earn for God become for the sellers. The Gentiles was taking away the wealth of Israel. Because the Israel rely on gentiles.

God is the God of perfection, is better to be silent if your mouth will speak lies, contradicting the word in the Bible. So simple, the fig tree was supposed to give fruit just like the multiplication of the fish, just like the cure of the blind of the cripple of the sick. Very simple. So the tree with no fruit to the King of the world, when Jesus spoke to the seas the seas listened. So when the fig tree didn’t give him food, Jesus cursed the tree and the tree died and that was the proof of the power of Jesus. It doesn’t have nothing to do with the Jewish not accepting Jesus. That is easy to put and end to, because it is clear that Jesus came for the Jews and this guy said he didn’t, then he says about the fig tree something invented by him like if he is so wise! 😂😂😂 all you people are clowns!

I was watching Jordan Peterson once when he said that the Bible is the most interlinked book there is. Everything is linked to everything. He even showed a picture of how how ridiculous it looked, the wires where one link was linked to another, was astounding. It was almost as if it’s a Brain of its own. And it makes you wonder why God is called the Logos. The Word. There is so much beauty in understanding that. Or why Paul said how the depth of the wisdom and knowledge of God is deep. And how it’s ways and judgements are unsearchable and untraceable (Romans 11). Every time I read it, I find something new. Every time. It’s almost as if the Word of God has a brain of its own. It’s not like any other book. And the best part is the Spirit also leads you to see or bring to Life the Word of God. And I think this is why it’s very important to hide the Word of God in your heart. Because you become like the word. The image of God, just like God intended in Adam to be. The Word of God is a living mind of the Divine Spirit. And you need the Holy Spirit, that is the key, to open up its living truth. Truth powerful enough to change your whole entire life every day. Reading the Word of God is like eating from the Tree of Life every day. And if you think I’m lying. Start reading from Genesis all the way to Revelation. Look at all the motifs that have to do with eating the tree of life, and you will be surprised how deep the rabbit hole is. I dare you. The Bible starts with Adam told to eat from the tree of life. But he fails to do that. It ends with John eating a little book, which alludes also to the Lambs Book of Life. Also, Jesus says no one has life if they don’t eat his flesh and drink his blood. And what did the Pharisees say? He is mad? Why? They were reasoning (tree of knowledge) , what seemed “good in their sight” like Eve did. That phrase in Genesis is interlinked with the one is Proverbs “do not lean in your own understanding” then, Wisdom when she speaks she says, “She is a tree of life to anyone who eats her” and again, there is another saying that says, “of all you can desire, none compares to her” , that Wisdom which is the Tree of Life, that cannot be compared to anyone in desire, is both also interlinked with Jesus and the Shepherd Lover of Song of Songs. The woman calls her lover “He is altogether Lovely(desirable)” her lover playing Jesus. And another saying also goes like, “The DESIRE of nations shall come”, and when Jesus comes he says, “Greater than Solomon (full of wisdom) is here”. If you link all that together. Jesus is the Wisdom that is the Tree of Life that all men desire. And why is he desired, because he is the only one who fulfilled the commandment God gave Adam. “Subdue the earth”. Jesus subdued all things. He “conquered the gates of the enemies” that the sons of Abraham failed to die. He conquered all things. Especially death, hell and the grave. Adam failed to conquer all things. And this then goes back to wisdom. What is wisdom? Wisdom is the skill in war. No wonder Christ was Wisdom. He won the war that made the angels ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” He opened the everlasting gates. And fulfilled the decree that Adam failed, “to subdue” Adam failed to subdue the serpent and the tree of Knowledfe. Christ however did, “crushing the head of the serpent”, why the heel? “Wherever the sole of your feet shall tread, I have given you that land” ( I didn’t paraphrase it correctly, but it went something like that) but that phrase is a mutation of the “subdue the earth” . Imagine how deep this goes?! It’s divinely exhausting.

And yet Jesus told us that we know what God wants by being in peace and listening to our teacher, the Holy Spirit. So why would he go on a rampage? It's almost as if he no longer gives a fig about being peaceful. Trees depend on pollinators to bear fruit. So Jesus would have been taking his anger out on the tree for what the wind or insects didn't do.

I have not lost hope and God has done a work in me in the process. Never give up! God hears the cties of your heart and family is important to God because He created Family in the very beginning. There is an order of priorities and God is our first priority and our family this after that. I hope you don't feel guilty for your total focus being on your family. When God heals whatever is going on in your family you will have be witness and you will glorify God, but in the meantime wait on the Lord and trust in Him. I pray that God will comfort you now and give you Peace and Hope and by this you can still be a witness to others. God bless you and your family in Jesus' name🙏

There is no “Israel” today! Through his apostle Paul, God completely divorced and cast away the nation (except for those that had believed Jesus was the Messiah) in Acts 28:29-31 KJV! Think about it! Jesus had promised to return and give them the kingdom before that generation passed away (Matt 16:28; 10:23 KJV) but he didn’t keep that promise! Why? Because his bride-to-be kept saying NO to his proposal of remarriage and a true gentleman would never force himself upon her! But a jilted lover is known to get upset when his advances are rejected, and that’s what they saw in 70 AD when everything - a city of their own, a glorious temple, and a sacrificial system to absolve their sins - was destroyed along with over a million Jews! The Romans did it, yes, but, remember, God had the power to stop it and he didn’t. After Acts 28:28-31, Paul wrote the word Israel I think not more than twice; he never quoted the OT again after doing it constantly in Acts; and pretty much ceased talking about the Jews but referred to those Jews and Greeks still with him as “the saints.” There was little to no evangelism of Jews or Greeks anymore after Acts; there was mostly exhortation to godly living and comforting of the saints - as Israel’s ship sank forever into the annals of history (no matter who tries to insist that country today in that region is actually “Israel.”)

@@dfkuz The Church (ecclesia) is the true Israel and Israel is the Church. God always blesses a righteous remnant, eg. the remnant during the days of Noah, the remnant entering the promised land, and the righteous remnant who were saved by escaping Jerusalem before the great tribulation in 70 AD. God gave the Hebrews 40 years to repent before Jerusalem was judged and destroyed. The second spiritual coming and the marriage of Christ to His church took place in 70 AD, but the marriage was with the righteous remnant of Israel only. The "physical Israel" today is of the Synagogue of Satan in Revelation.

Our Lord is the Head of His Church, His Body and Bride whom He saves (Eph 5:23). In order for one to be saved, he MUST believe ALL Truth (not just a part of Truth), be baptized by receiving the Sacrament of Baptism administered by the Church, and observe All teachings (Matt 28:20, Mark 16:16), bearing much fruits worthy for Heaven.

What would our nature lovers say, if someone just kills a tree for demonstation purpose? Wasn't it just a human reaction of dissapointment when he didn't find fruits when he was hungry?

@@audieabel1261 Actually...I could respond to your epic-evil rants/accusations against God post....but I won't....instead, I say only one thing, and I only say it to clear up the lies and misconception about our Beautiful, loving Creator which certain people (like you) spread when you misread the old testament (called the scriptures in the bible) and take out of context texts in the bible because of your general ignorance (not offense intended) of ancient Hebrew and Palestinian cultures, and how the scriptures were actually written.... For now, I will only point you back to our Perfect Example, the WORD Himself, and let Him explain why so much cruelty and suffering were committed in His name: Read Matthew 19:3-9 when the Pharisees tried to quote the law of Moses to Jesus (the part which seemed to justify divorce), and then Jesus turn their question around and left a piercing TRUTH which shows US TODAY WHY such laws were even given in the first place----because of the rebellion, hard-heartedness of Israel.... Which consequently caused our loving Creator to condescend and give them something which He did not want to do....ALL so that by realizing their utter inability to work out their own salvation, it would lead them to SEE their sins, and SEE their great need for the promised Savior who would cleanse them from those sins..... Jesus sheds light on why those statutes were delivered to the prone-to apostasy Israel: "Moses, BECAUSE OF THE HARDNESS OF YOUR OWN HEARTS, SUFFERED (or PERMITTED) YOU TO PUT AWAY YOUR WIVES....BUT FROM THE BEGINNING, IT WAS NOT SO...." Then read Ezekiel 20:24,25 "because they had not executed My judgements, but had DESPISED My statutes, and had polluted My Sabbaths, and their eyes went after their Father's idols....WHEREFORE I GAVE THEM ALSO STATUTES THAT WERE NOT GOOD, AND JUDGEMENTS WHEREBY THEY SHOULD NOT LIVE"...and Paul concurs in Galations 3:19 when he says: "wherefore then serveth the law? It was added (or emphasized) BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSION (whose transgression you might ask? Israel's) TILL the SEED (in verse 16, it is revealed this Seed is Christ Himself) should come to whom the promise was made".... So Paul here (and Jesus in Matthew 19 and Ezekiel 20) Very clearly says right there that the law was only Emphasized (notice that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob did not need the law given to them amid the thunder and fire of Sinai because they already had it and appreciated it through faith) because of the sins and hard-heartedness of the people of Israel....and furthermore, that God would suffer Israel to exist under such old-covenant laws of types and shadows until the coming of Christ Himself-the Living Law-who would fulfill all types and shadows and who would write the law, not this time on cold tables of stone which could of itself produce no righteousness in the hearts of the hearers....but instead, Christ would place His sacred law in the hearts and characters of all who would seek to turn away from sin and have FAITH and believe in Him as their personal Savior and Redeemer. Notice, Christ did not NEED to give such laws to Abraham....because Abraham had FAITH in God, unlike His rebellious children the tribes of Israel...and "Abraham Believed in God and it was counted to him for righteousness (see also John 3:16) -Genesis 15:6. Abraham knew of Christ, and because he believed in and appreciated Christ's Great humiliation and sacrifice for him as his Redeemer from the power of sin, and this appreciation and heart-felt belief in Christ was Abraham's faith and it was counted to him for righteousness (keeping the commandments of God-see Psalms 119:172, Deuteronomy 6:25).....and therefore, Christ could truly say of Abraham in Genesis 26:5 "because Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept (CHERISHED) My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws..."-Note: He could not say the same of Abraham's great-great-grandchildren who left Egypt. And note-Abraham was NOT a man of violence either like His descendants later became.... And that is why Christ said to the unbelieving Jews of Abraham in John 8: "If you were actually Abraham's seed, then you would do the works of Abraham...but now you seek to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth as I have heard of God...Abraham did not do this....Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day and he saw it, and was glad".... So again in conclusion, everything you quoted in the above passages were either scriptures taken out of context or things which were really given as types and shadows meant to guide apostate Israel "as a school master" to show them their errors and show them their great need of the Savior...such things were given to the people WITHIN their apostasy until the Seed, Christ Himself, should come....and Christ pointed the Jews right back to that purer Faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob from where they First went astray....and because Christ did so, they sought to murder Him.... I could go on much deeper but time would fail me...I hope and pray that this will clear up some of the misapprehension about the true character of God and will instead reveal our merciful Redeemer for who He really is, in all His tender love, compassion, and forgiveness....as Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13: "for now we see through a glass darkly, but then, face to face...." May God continue to give you further light from His word.....amen....

Saving you 20 min. The fig tree represents the Israelites and Jesus sees they weren’t baring fruit so he curses it, Now we follow Christ to salvation because his followers bare fruit

[@jajuanrussell5386]

The fact that Jesus murdered a fig tree for not bearing any fruit to him concerns me a lot. I remember the parable about the seeds scattered in the rocks and weeds and in the fertile ground; and I remember the parable about the master leaving his wine winepress with his servants and them being tested while the master was away. I fear for all those vicors in the world, and I fear for all those who spoke in the name of the Lord falsely. There's nothing good coming to any of them.

Thank you Brandon for more insight into the fig tree and the Temple.

[@douglasodonnell6800]

The temple business situation was not previously unknown to Jesus; neither was the seasons of figs. Why did he kill a fig tree that was out of season and physically unable to bear fruit? And the temple? It’s like jailing the foot soldiers and allowing the leaders to go free. Seems like there’s a different message here?

[@roshnimonteiro2229]

Thank you for the explanation, I read this passage of the fig tree couple of days ago and could not understand why Jesus would curse the tree when the fruit was not due. Now it makes sense after hearing the complete context. Jesus brought me to this video amen 🙏

[@keylanoslokj1806]

The forbidden tree in the garden of Eden was a fig tree. Not an apple tree. That's why Christ cursed it. Because of the misery and collective pain He saw while Incarnating, that this Fall from grace brought upon humanity... .

[@arfermo853]

I always thought it weird so im glad this vid came up

[@briandouglas5552]

Thank you for this! I arrived at this passage after asking the Lord, "Why did Jesus walk on water and why did He have Peter take part in that account? What purpose was there?" The thought came that Jesus "must be about his Father's business." I saw that, when He is doing the Father's work, the natural creation supported His effort. Peter was able to join Him on the water because Jesus had called him out of the boat. So, we can also believe that, when we are called, our effort to do the Father's work will be supported, too. Then, I remembered Jesus' encounter with the people of Nazareth. He could only heal a few there and He "marveled at their unbelief." My mind then went to the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well and the return of the disciples from the nearby village. When they asked Him if He had gotten anything to eat, Jesus told them, "My food is to do the will of my Father." Now, He enters Jerusalem and looks for food - to do the will of His Father - and finds a fig tree that, while proclaiming its health, produces no fruit. I asked, "Why DIDN'T it bear fruit for the One who came?" The answer had to be that it was not the will of the Father that the tree bear for Jesus. It was to be a sign. A sign of unbelief. I came to realize, as this video so plainly shows, that what was coming out of the temple was unbelief. The Levitical Priesthood was barren. It would not respond, as the water in Cana, the bread loaves and fishes, the Sea of Galilee, to the presence of the Son. So, I think that Jesus was also cursing that priesthood, proclaiming, "No one shall ever eat from you again!" Did He mean that the Father would no longer minister through that old covenant? Was this the first we see of the transition from the Old Mosaic covenant to the new? I think so. But, I also think that the tree being a fig tree reflects back to the fall of Adam and Eve. They lost their clothing of innocence and felt the need to cover their shame. The used fig leaves. We do the same, only we use religion to proclaim our "righteousness" before God. The Mosaic Law proved that to be impossible and we see it here, in the temple courts. In the end, I feel that Jesus was declaring that God the Father would not inhabit any religious system ever again, as He had in the days of His tabernacle. He would, as Jesus told the Samaritan woman, be worshipped in spirit and truth. The account doesn't end with the dead fig tree, though. When the disciples express their amazement, Jesus motions to a mountain and proclaims that if they have the faith of a mustard seed, the mountain will be removed. What mountain? The Temple mountain, the Mountain of Unbelief. We can move such mountains when we believe the Father and go about His business.

Context is everything! Thanks for sharing this Brandon...there's so much in this. Just a little while ago I was reading Mark 11 in particular just pondering about "say to this mountain and it will be removed" - unfortunately every time I hear a preacher discuss it the mountain is your own personal problem or obstacle etc. Oh our little petty self-centered views of such things. Anyway the word "THIS" (this mountain) really stuck out to me, and looking at the context - from the beginning of Mark 11 they went from Bethany into Jerusalem several times - so the mountain Jesus was referring to was the one He was looking at while going into Jerusalem from Bethany... the temple mount! Goes hand in hand with everything you say about the fig tree. And I did not know the reference to Jeremiah, Jesus was fulfilling prophecy! God's word can be incredible!

[@jflaugher]

Brother Brandon, just to throw a little more historical context behind Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem on the donkey: Because it was the Passover Season when Jews were celebrating liberation from the oppression of the Egyptian Empire while currently being under the oppression of Roman occupation, the atmosphere in Jerusalem was a tinderbox - a riot could easily start up. In fact, history records six major riots in 1st Century Jerusalem during the Passover. So, as a precaution against a riot, at roughly the same time that Jesus was entertaining the eastern gates of Jerusalem on a donkey, Pilate would have been entering the city through the western gate leading auxiliary troops on his warhorse to garison the city. And while Mark quotes Zechariah as a donkey, Matthew quotes Zechariah as saying a donkey and a colt - which has led many detractors to ask sarcastically, "How could Jesus ride two animals?" Of course, he's not riding two animals. The idea is that he's riding a female donkey who's nursing and her baby is following behind. So, in the hierarchy of animals to ride into a city, Jesus is riding not a a warhorse, not on a camel, not on a mule, not on a male donkey, but on a nursing female donkey with her baby following behind her. Jesus purposely picked the animal mount with the lowest possible status in the hierarchy. This was like an anti-war demonstration. It's a mockery - a lampoon of how a military leader enters a city. And the Cleansing of the Temple that Jesus does on Monday with the quote from Jeremiah, it should be noted that the selling of animals and the exchanging of money in the Temple was actually perfectly acceptable according to the Torah. However, the sellers and money changers were the financial support for a Temple priesthood who had betrayed the Jewish people by working in collaboration with the Roman occupation. By working with the Romans the Temple priests had made vast amounts of money off of the struggles of poor Jewish peasants like Jesus and his disciples. This was another demonstration on Jesus' behalf because, even if just for the rest of the day, it would have forced the Temple to close down.

God doesn't put much stock in institutions or organizations or titles and ranks. with the early Israelites they wanted a king and god said I am your king and your god but they persisted till god allowed them a king. it was not gods initial intention for them to rely on a king but to rely on god for leadership and direction. in this video with the temple Jesus is appalled at the religion is getting in the way of the faith. god wants a relationship with his worshipers, not a middle man of glory seekers parading as priest or the self righteous impleading the faithful from the word of God.
