Some questions regarding the “language of God”

1. Jesus Christ spoke the language of the Jews, but they could not understand each other. Demonstration:

When our Lord said:

• Joh 2:19 Jesus ...said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

• Joh 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

Even Christ’s Apostles could not understand His words. Here is Peter:

• Mat 15:15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16 And Jesus said, ARE YE ALSO YET WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING?

2. Today God speaks our "respective language with which the Holy Bible is written.” English to the Americans and British, German to the Germans, Russia to the Russians, Tagalog to the Filipinos, Chinese to the..., etc., etc.

Jesus Christ told His Apostles/Disciples:

• Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and WHAT SHALL BE THE SIGN OF THY COMING, AND OF THE END OF THE WORLD?

“Many” people reading the Holy Bible are looking into the future for the different SIGNS that our Lord enumerated:

• Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
• Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ (taking the authority of Christ expounding on His words); and shall deceive many.
• Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
• Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
• Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
•
• Etc., etc….
•
• Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
• Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
•

Then our Lord said:

• Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED.
• Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Have we not learned a lesson regarding the revelation given to Mark that “Jesus did not speak except in parable?”

• Mar 4:34 BUT WITHOUT A PARABLE SPAKE HE NOT UNTO THEM: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

Were Peter, John, James, Paul, and the other Apostles/Disciples authorized to expound on the words of our Lord?

• Mar 4:34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and WHEN THEY WERE ALONE, HE EXPOUNDED ALL THINGS TO HIS DISCIPLES.

Are leaders of Christian sects authorized to expound on the words of our Lord?

• The Pope
• Helen G. White
• Felix Manalo
• William Branham
• John Thomas
• Charles Taze Russell.
• Many more... Pastors, Priests, Ministers...
• Preachers, etc...

Why are all these Christian sect leaders, and their servants, looking into the future when our Lord Jesus emphatically told His Apostles/Disciples:

• Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED.

• Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Is it not about time that we humble ourselves and just heed the call of our Lord in the following?

* Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Are religious leaders humble enough to accept this truth?

* Luk 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

* 2 Tim 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

One of G_D's secrets is revealing part of the future for us..just like John's Revelation to us..It is for us to be prepared of what is coming..
Matthew 24:35 means truth always prevails and G_D id forever..

The answer to the question after our Lord Jesus enumerated the “events and circumstances for the end of the world” in Mat 24:1-35, and then concluding it with the following:

• Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED.

• Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

An article on this is worth reading. Click:

THE END OF THE WORLD? (!)

Its introduction:

• Ever since, this is one topic of interest to Bible believers

• Speculations on the matter at different times since the early centuries of Christianity have flourished extending almost 2000 years.

• Hence the question, “…Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” (2 Peter 3:4)

• More mystifying is what our Lord said, “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (Mat 24:34)
