Good morning. We then have the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Jesus goes into the temple
and throws out those who were selling. Then He tells the parable about the man who owns a
vineyard and rented it out to some vine growers. Eventually they killed his son. All of this we
have seen before. Now we get to Luke chapter 21. This is Luke’s version of Jesus’ prophecy
about the end times. He tells the disciples that not one stone will be left upon another. They
want to know when this will happen, and what will be the sign that it is about to happen. He
says many of the same things that Matthew and Mark said. He talks about all the different
things that will happen in nature and between peoples. Disciples will be put in prison and go on
trial; but do not worry about what you will say because the Holy Spirit will give you the words.
Some of things that Jesus talked about apply to the times around 70 A.D.; but a lot of the
words are yet to be fulfilled. There some words that are very relevant today considering all of
the disasters that have happened. There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the
earth dismay among nations, and perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men
fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the
powers of the heavens will be shaken. We have seen a lot of that in the last few months. When
it concerns people, we have this hope that something can be done to change men’s minds.
But when it has to do with nature, there is this belief that there is nothing that you can do to
prevent disasters from occurring. Father thank You that no matter what may come upon us,
You are in control and will protect us. Continue helping the reader at home and work. Help him/her and his/her family to always come out on top.

Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God

  Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...

And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds

  Good morning. And men repented, right? And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Previously, the 6th angel blew his trumpet and told them to release the four angels at the river Euphrates so that the army of 200 million could cross over. Back to the bowl: and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Father continue to bring blessings upon the reader and his/her family every day  of their lives.

So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed

  Good morning. We left John at the entrance of the tomb, stooping and looking in. “Shy” Peter then arrives following John, and enters the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there. So the other disciple, John, who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. It does not say whether or not Peter believed. For as yet they did not understand the scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. So the disciples went away again to their own homes. I’m not exactly sure what it means by their own homes. They were originally from Galilee and would not have had homes in Jerusalem. Perhaps it means the homes where they were staying while in Jerusalem. Apparently, they were not staying in the upper room, or it would have said so. But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped (just like John) and looked into the tomb. She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been l...
