JQ#30 

“Do you not see all these things?”  (Matthew 24:02)

LIVING FOR JESUS - Daily Prayer    

JESUS, O Holy Spirit, let my lips ever praise Thee but more important

 let my life be lived “in Christ and with Christ in me” each and every day!

 Lord grant it that my heart be forever grateful that Your Grace restores us

 to the Father and Your Forgiveness frees us from our slavery to sin 

and the world! Lord may each day continue to begin with writing the 

Precious Name “JESUS” but if I write it or not, may my heart, mind, and

 body worship You and witness to Your Glory for it is more important 

for the kingdom’s sake that Jesus Himself is written on the “Way” 

that I live my day-to-day life! 

Lord, may my heart never forget the moving of the Holy Spirit in my life

 nor the Eternal Truth that He is ALWAYS there to comfort, correct and 

to guide us if we but call on Him with a humble and contrite spirit.   

AMEN

OCTOBER 14  THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus has a point in first asking “Do you not see…” and then making 

a list of “…all these things?” and as usual that “Divine point”

 is to convey a Truth of God and reveal God to us through our 

reflection on His Question as we try as best we can to “understand” 

the Question Jesus is asking us and to give Him an honest answer — 

for only in knowing the TRUTH OF GOD can we truly 

“understand [i.e. ‘see’] the Creator’s world in which we live”. 

God had planned long before the Creation “all these things” 

that would come about and 

Jesus is fulfilling that Divine Plan which includes letting 

God’s people know the Truth of God in order to make 

their decision about their own eternities!

 This characteristic of God of letting us “know” the details of His Plan

 “ahead of time” is part of The Divine Prophetic Plan in order that we

 will recognize the TRUTH OF GOD that He has a DIVINE PLAN in place

 for how else could Daniel write so clearly about the 

“abomination of desolation”

 or Jesus give details of the “Great Tribulation” that follows

 (Matthew 24:15-22)

 if it had not already been determined and laid out in detail 

by the Omnipotent, Omnipresent Creator God? 

For instance, Daniel first wrote of the Messiah and 600 years later 

Jesus fulfills the Messianic Prophecy of Daniel so completely 

that there can be no doubt that 

JESUS and ONLY JESUS IS the MESSIAH 

for He fulfilled exactly EVERY DETAIL of the Messianic Prophesy 

and now Jesus is in effect saying that because He so completely

 fulfills Daniel’s Prophecy that we must then look at the other 

prophecies and KNOW that they are from God Himself and therefore

 they will come about! This “fulfilling of God’s Word” can be drawn 

from what Jesus said as He was describing the “Great Tribulation”

 that was to follow the “Abomination of Desolation” Daniel described

 when Jesus said plainly and clearly to His disciples, 

“See, I have told your beforehand…” (Matthew 24:26) 

which clearly ties His original Question,

 “Do you not see all these things?” 

with the fact that only Jesus and Daniel can list

 “…all these things…” 

because they are part of God’s Plan and that God Himself revealed 

His Plans to Daniel in a vision and God the Father had worked out

 the details of His Plan with Jesus Himself before the Creation was 

ever in place and now as “…all these things…” that were written 

and told to us “beforehand” happen right before our eyes we should

 certainly be able to “SEE”  what God reveals so plainly to us!

 Jesus then added,

 “For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west,

 so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

 (Matthew 24:27)

 So Jesus is telling us “beforehand” that we will be able to 

“see” God’s Plan unfold and we will KNOW that it was a PLAN 

told us and written down for us to in order that our 

FAITH WILL BE MADE SIGHT 

and we indeed will “see all these things” 

are from God!!! 

For only the ONE that KNOWS the PLAN 

can actually “see” the PLAN unfold in our daily lives and the

 only “Way” we can KNOW THE PLAN is to LISTEN 

to the ONE THAT MADE THE PLAN 

and has the SUPREME POWER TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!! 

——— or will you remain in your darkness, 

blinded to the TRUTH 

and refuse with your hardened heart 

NOT to 

“SEE ALL THESE THINGS”!?!?!?!?!

OCTOBER 13  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  

JQ#30 

“Do you not see all these things?”  (Matthew 24:02)

LIVING FOR JESUS - Daily Prayer   

JESUS, thank You for answering our prayers and I thank the 

Holy Spirit for putting my concerns before God for I know that I had

 been going through a period in my prayer life that I was fully aware 

of the danger of praying for an answer that would reflect my selfish

 desires so I prayed that the Holy Spirit would pray the Father for me

 so that the answer would be in His Perfect Time 

and His Perfect Will for my life. 

I know that I am a sinner and as such my prayers are from a “worldly”

 perspective and I am impatient and want things “my way” and 

I want them “now” — but God wants only “good things” for me 

and His Ways are not what I could possibly imagine 

and truly His Ways are BEST! 

Hopefully, I am now understanding a little better about my 

prayer life as this time I turned my need over to the Holy Spirit 

and I had one desire — not my will but Thine be done — 

and then in His Perfect Timing He has answered my prayer 

in a Way that far exceeds any answer that I could have imagined!!!

 Thank You Jesus!!!   

AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus gave His disciples a list of signs when they had asked Him

 “what will be the sign of Your coming, 

and of the end of the age?” 

(Matthew 24:3) 

and then Jesus introduced a term that the modern church debates,

 but both sides agree that the “Tribulation” will occur because 

Jesus Himself used the term when He told His disciples:

 

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you,

 and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.” 

(Matthew 24:9) 

Jesus completed His “List of Signs” and announced

 “…then the end will come.” 

 (Matthew 24:14) 

It was at this point that Jesus referred to the prophet Daniel and added

 a very specific detail to identifying the “Tribulation” when Jesus stated:

 

“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ 

spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place…” 

(Matthew 24 :15)

 

Jesus was describing what the ‘abomination of desolation,’  

looks like from Daniel’s question that Daniel had asked during his vision of the

 “little horn” that had overtaken the “Glorious Land” and his power

 had grown “up to the host of heaven; and it cast down 

some of the host and some of the stars to the ground and trampled 

them. [The little horn] even exalted himself as high as the Prince of 

the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and 

the place of His sanctuary was cast down 

{?the destruction of the Millennial Temple?}. 

Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn

 to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground…

 [And Daniel asked in his vision] ‘How long will the vision be, 

concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation,

 the giving of both the sanctuary and the host 

to be trampled underfoot?” 

(Daniel 8:9-13)  

Therefore Jesus is describing a future event of the “end time” when

 a non-believer will stand in the place of God and defile God’s Holy Sanctuary

 and the desolation of the Holy Place will be from “abominations”, 

hence the term “abomination of desolation” which will be recognized 

when the world sees someone claiming to be the “Prince of the host” 

and he will be standing in God’s Holy Place in the land of Judea offering

“abominations” instead of “acceptable” daily sacrifices to the 

God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! 

Jesus makes it clear that the “abomination of desolation” is not to be

 taken lightly  for after warning those that are in Judea to flee, Jesus then

 connects the “abomination of desolation” to the “Great Tribulation”

 as Jesus states:

 “For then there will be great tribulation, 

such as has not been since the beginning of the world

 until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” 

(Matthew 24:21) 

Jesus has been very clear and has given great detail on 

“all these things” that will happen leading up to and in the “end time”

 and so if we refuse to “see all these things” then it will not be God’s fault

 because He has given us every chance to remove the scales 

from our spiritual eyes in order that we can answer “Yes” when we

 finally hear with our hearts when Jesus asks each one,

 “Do you not see all these things”

(Matthew 24:2)

 which 

“the Son of God” 

has so plainly shown us in

 God’s Holy Scripture!!!???!!!
