OCTOBER 14 THE JESUS QUESTIONS 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!!!!!
