Re: When Jesus Comes to Church

[/QUOTE] What about your Temple? Oh, not just the building you assemble in on Sunday, but what about your inner man, the temple of God? Is it a place that God is the priority and He can work through you? Or are you the type going through life just networking and increasing your own profit? Are you merely trying to benefit from the needs of others? Has Jesus looked at you and wept because you are missing the day of your visitation? Like the fig tree, has He found you lacking and is proclaiming that you are barren?

What happens when Jesus comes to Church in your Temple?[/QUOTE]

Wow...
Did you right this Brother? Your church is blessed.

Re: When Jesus Comes to Church

Excellent post! As said before, sobering question. After reading this I think I'll take a break from the "other" threads. Otherwise it's penetration will be lost! -(I'm only applying this rule to me, no other )

I most certainly did not write what you have attributed to me. I only wish I could be so eloquent, defined, insightful, intelligent and spiritual to be able to present words like that.

Sorry to burst your bubble Carp!

Re: When Jesus Comes to Church

I loved reading this. I have heard this preached many, many times. Never have I heard the Fig-Tree/Temple/Personal-Temple tied together.

Re: When Jesus Comes to Church

Thanks, rrford, for clearing up the events regarding the fig tree. I have heard others say that when the fig tree spreads it branches (Israel becomes a nation once again) it will be only one generation (80 years) until the Lord returns (1948 + 80 = 2028)

Of course, if the fig tree represents Israel, and Jesus cursed the fig tree, such that it would wither and die, then Titus was send of God to flatten the place in 70 A.D., no?

The entire fig tree representation business has always confused me. That, and the Easter bunny. It's tough to work those out.

Thanks again!

Keep thinking and keep writing.
