I have a question from the Holy bible.?

Luke (12:54-56) Jesus said also to the people," When you see a cloud coming up in the west,at once you say that it is going to rain---and it does.And when you feel the south wind blowing,you say that it is going to get hot---And it does.Hypocrites! You can look at the earth and the sky and predict the weather;why,then,don't you know the meaning of this present time?"

    Scripture foretold the Promised Seed in Genesis or the Christ had to come in from the east. Jesus is standing before these men and they have no clue and I am telling you every Christian down in the Democrat wing will experience the same thing. You see the invisible Kingdom of Christ is up in the east and just beyond our Republican wing and in Heaven. Every Christian down in the Democrat wing is still living naturally with their backs to Christ's Kingdom. Pastor either don't know or care and neither do the congregations. They all still face west on soil and that means they are facing Lucifer's kingdom which is what they did before they believed in Christ. The Second Coming will also come in from the east and only the Christian in the Republican wing are led by the Spirit facing this event. And who is pulled down and tarred and feathered but Christians up in the Republican wing because they are closest to the invisible Kingdom.

    Here stands Jesus, God in the flesh, whose entry into Jerusalem Daniel foretold many years prior. And yet the people did not recognize Him. Later in Luke 19 Jesus prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem "because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you."

    The Lord Jesus himself speaks as the concern of the weather was more important than the holy spirit showing them things to come .

    The cares of this life seemed to be moving in on them. The gospel was to travel and be shared with many people in spite of climatic conditions. They seemed to be sidetracked in a weather propphecy that meant little.

    There focus on ministry, souls, affect of the gospel for discipleship was more important.

    Jesus Christ chastened them so they stayed sober, vigilant and prepared for Kingdom of God purposes.!

    We have CNN, FOX News, Al Jazeera, Novosty, etc and yet, "experts" like the idiot beneath me said that "Jesus is insane" (look at his avatar!!).

    Nevertheless all scholars and scientists - specially social scientists - are saying "we are Ok.". If THAT is not insane, I do not know WHAT is, anymore.

    It's like looking at a kettle, boiling for about 10 minutes, and expecting to cool down instead of exploding.

    Though you did not put a question forth, yet if it of the meaning here, Christ is referring to that particular time, because before their very eyes the kingdom of God was being revealed to them by the actual Messiah [i.e. God with us].

    "If any man takes a wife, and goes in on her, and detests her, and charges her with shameful conduct, and brings a bad name on her, and says, 'I took this woman, and when I came to her I found she was not a virgin..." (Deuteronomy 22:13,14)

    "But if ... evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones..." (Deuteronomy 22:20,21)
