GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 21:10-22
10 - And when Jesus entered Jerusalem, with all the commotion, the whole city became stirred up. And the people were saying, “Who is this?”
11 And the crowd andwered, “This is the prophet Jesus! From Nazareth of Galilee.” 12 Jesus went into the temple and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple. And he flipped over the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were selling pigeons. 13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of thieves!”
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. 15 But when the leaders of the nation [the chief priests] and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant [aganakteó - grieved, angered, incensed] 16 and they said to him, “Do you hear what they are saying?” And Jesus said, “Yes, have you never read, ‘Out of the mouths of babies come praise’?” 17 And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.
18 In the morning, as he was walking back to the city, he became hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the road, he went to it and found nothing on it but leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit come from you again!” And at once the fig tree withered. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither just now?” 21 And Jesus answered, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only be able to do such as this, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. 22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” (Also, the “fig tree” Israel withered/fell away because GOD caused it to. Israel was separated to birth Messiah/Savior of the world, then included “in disobedience” making all equal, in order for the nations to be gathered - *within* this Truth proving drama, to Jesus, or in last days, to Armageddon, ironically against Israel.)

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ Philippians 3:1-7 ~
1 - Finally, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! To write these same things to you is no trouble at all, and is a safety for you. 2 Beware of scavengers/predators, the error workers, beware of what we call the circumcision crowd. (The hangers on to the outdated covenant with God, who as with all leaders and leading things had become both powerful and abusive/violent. Besides the purpose of “the law” was not, ultimately, the ‘magic’ needed for restoration - into God’s best blueprint - before which - this all important contrast must be gotten out of the way first, universally.) 3 For we are the true circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh/effort— 4 though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has such reason for confidence, I have more: 5 I (Paul) was circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews. As to the law, a Pharisee. 6 As to zeal, a persecutor of the church. And as to righteousness under the law, blameless. 7 But whatever gain I had, I counted it as loss, for the sake of Christ Jesus.
