- Jesus told the Jews - especially their leaders - that they would
not see Him again, until with </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">proper
protocol</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
they welcomed Him back with the words: </span></span></span><b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">“Blessed

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal;" align="left">
<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><u>This</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
is what they were doing for Him on Palm Sunday! - a preview of what
they would have to do to receive Him back! This is really a
remarkable event, and every detail of it has significance. See the
part Jesus Himself played in its preparation, by arranging for 2 of
His disciples to get the colt. In the first 3 Gospels, commonly
called the Synoptic Gospels, all these events put together in “time”
order - throw much added light on this event. James MacKnight of
Scotland many years ago wrote a book “The Apostolical Epistles”,
plus a “Harmony of the Four Gospels”. He saw the Gospel of Luke
as having primacy for these “Time Events”. I have produced a
Manuscript many years ago of the 4 gospels based on the insights of
James MacKnight. I probably will not try and complete it for printing
- but it was a help to me personally to see the earthly life of Jesus
in its “Harmony” perspective. Remember again the 9 windows in the
life of Jesus: The Virgin Birth; His Bar Mitzvah at 12; His Dual
Baptisms at 30; His Transfiguration; His Passion at 33; His
Resurrection as Firstfruits on the third day; His Ascension 40 days
after the Resurrection - a picture of His Triumphal Return; The
Pouring out of the Holy Spirit from the Father through the Son; The
Return of Christ at Feast of Tabernacles. These 9 events encompass
the 3 Great Major Feasts of the Lord given to the Jews: Passover,
fulfilled by Jesus; Pentecost fulfilled by the Gift of the Holy
Spirit; Tabernacles, to be fulfilled at the return of our Lord.</span></font></p>

- Cursing of the Fig Tree. Much controversy has taken place over this
event. What is </span><u>your</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
take on it” Fruit doesn't come on fig trees at the time of leaves.
</span><u>So</u><span style="text-decoration: none;"> - what was the
</span><u>real</u><span style="text-decoration: none;"> reason for
this action of Jesus? I believe that at the close of His 3 year
ministry, He wanted to give His disciples a vivid illustration
concerning the reality of faith. In 11:20-25, we discover that if
this was His intent - it </span><u>certainly</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
worked! Peter was dumbfounded at the result. Notice especially 11:24;
- “</span><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>believe that you
</b></span><u><b>received</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>
them, and you shall have them.</b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;">
“eLAbe-te” is an aorist past tense, and signifies something
completed in the past, upon which one can confidently act in the
future. Jesus' </span><u>finished</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
work at Calvary was of this nature. To see that “all things are
ours” because of what Jesus did then, is the </span><u>basis</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
of victorious, overcoming faith! The disciples would </span><u>never</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
forget this fig-tree illustration. But we are present day disciples.
Does the </span><u>finished work</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
of Jesus on Calvary mean this to us today? If we are not obtaining
remarkable answers to prayer - perhaps we should return to this “fig
tree” illustration, meditate upon it - and then step out in faith
like Jesus' </span><u>first</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
disciples!</span></font></p>

- Second Cleansing of the Temple. Now the die is cast! Now the chief
priests and the scribes know that they </span><u>must</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
destroy Jesus. As led by Satan, they did! But what a terrible mistake
was made! God proclaimed “checkmate” on Satan for this! For Jesus
was a </span><u>sinless</u><span style="text-decoration: none;"> human
being. He died - the innocent - for the sin of Adam - a life of
self-will that spread to </span><u>every</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
member of the human race including you and me. But - by a </span><u>sinless</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">

of the </span><u>One New Man</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">.
And Satan? awaiting the bottomless pit for 1000 years followed by the
Lake of Fire with the Antichrist, False prophet, all wicked angels,
demons, and unrepentant human beings. J.A.W.</span></font></p>
