. Jesus gave us an odd command! He told us to ‘consider’ something very important.
~
Question 1: “What do Catholics ‘consider’ about the meaning of the word: ‘generation’?”
Answer: “Catholic see the two parts of the word, ‘gene’ and ‘ration’. We know that every ‘generation’ has a ‘ration’ of ‘genes’.”
~
Question 2: “Does The Bible identify peoples’ ‘rations’ of ‘genes’?”
Answer: “The Prophet Ezekiel (16:3) tells us about the ‘ration’ of ‘genes’ given to the relatives of Abraham’s Family ‘Your father was an Amorite. Your mother was a Hittite.’ Their ‘ration’ of ‘genes’ let them spread out between Japan and Ireland!
~
Question 3: “What did the ‘ration’ of ‘genes’ that God gave the families of Abraham let them do?”
Answer: “It gave them the ability to work with horses and iron. They invented saddles, reins, bits, wheels, and chariots, pulled by horses. The intellectual abilities in their ‘ration’ of ‘genes’ let them spread over the earth.”
~
Question 4: “What else did our intelligent Abrahamic ancestors do?”
Answer: “They invented writing. They could keep records. Some of those written records were of God’s Word`! That set them apart from all who preceded them.”
~
Question 5: “How do we fit into God’s Plan?”
Answer: “God’s Plan gives all of us in this ‘generation’ the ability to find Him! LK 21:29-33 tells us how to use our God-given ‘ration’ of ‘genes’.
‘Jesus told his disciples a parable.’ His ‘parable’ begins with a ‘command’! Jesus orders us to use our minds to Think Clearly!
‘Consider the fig tree and all the other trees. When their buds burst open, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near; . .’”
~
Question 6: “Is that a ‘command’ of Jesus telling us to thoughtfully ‘consider’ the world around us?”
Answer: “Yes! Then, we are to Think Clearly and carefully ‘consider’ the relationship between He Who Made us and the time and place we are in! We will realize an important fact!
‘ . . in the same way, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.’”
~
Question 7: “Will logical ‘consideration’ let us ‘know that The Kingdom of God is near.’?”
Answer: “Yes! We will know this fact about the past, present, and future! ‘Amen, I say to you, this generation (‘ration’ of ‘genes’) will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.’”
~
Question 8: “What other Word of Jesus should we ‘consider’?”
Answer: “May we all be blessed to ‘consider’ the importance of getting these ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ from the only place Jesus left them! ‘And I say unto you thou are Peter and on this rock I build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys of The Kingdom of Heaven; . . .’”
