Mark 13:32-37 – The Day and the our Unknown
- Why is the day & hour unknown?
- Today’s devotional makes me think of Matthew 24 36-51and the notyes I made that day;
- Very interesting notes on the second coming and the messiah.
- Remember [see Flusser book] that for the Jews the coming of the messiah & judgment would happen at the same time. In reality the Messiah came and is to come again.
- In this passage Jesus says that no one except the Father knows when, not even Him.
- He then says that He will come on a day when He is not expected.
- The JNTC in its notes quotes some thinking of the Jews on the coming of the Messiah;
- May the bones of those who calculate the end be blasted away!
- It has been taught that three things come when the mind is diverted: the Messiah, finding a lost article and a scorpion. It then says: So don’t postpone His coming by thinking about it.
- Using these thoughts in The Cloud and the Line – praying for more insight.
- We know that we can speed up His coming but here in Jewish writing it is suggested that we can also slow it down. Can this be true? And if so why?
