In our times it is wise to consider the spirit that has for thousands of years promised Love is the Law; Love under Will, true will is thy will is thee Father; and ye where told, but yea still build your castles of sand, your poor corralled in cheap and dangerous areas, flood zones are not accidental, as human suffering is weighed against the money games... but we bare war ning. As one whose patron saint is Job, St. Stephen, hold up his light and offers these words, read so often, will they ever be read/written across our hearts? Fire branding them in our mind; feeling becomes a rational action of Love... this purpose of movement a joy... and yet can you not see? why be blind to the horror of the times, the suffering, the hell that one must know to understand... on the Cross forsaken, bleak and ever so hopeful; material more than a materialist can have faith, you can tell a storm is coming from the radar/barometers you have read out on your computer screen, but perhaps an Bible lesson can help you with:
Interpreting the Time
(Mark 8:11-13; Luke 12:54-56)
1When the Pharisees and Sadducees arrived, as a test they asked Jesus[a] to show them a sign from heaven. 2He replied to them, “You say,
‘Red sky at night,
what a delight!
3 Red sky in the morning,
cloudy and storming.’
You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, yet you can't interpret the signs of the times?[b] 4An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then he left them and went away. [from: http://isv.scripturetext.com/matthew/16.htm]
but Jonah might be problematic, how shall we read this story, traditional reading can be a guide, but we are left on our own to determine, we have this page to offer, for some interesting readings: http://nazareneblogs.org/kpprobst/2011/01/
and also where the image of Jonah was taken from...
