The Superior Moscow, Russia

The Superior Moscow, Russia is a necessary post since it has been so much talk about the Tartarian Empire lately. Tartary is a Country in Asia near Russia, but what if the Americas was home to the original Russia and Tartary? If this is proven correct, it will demonstrate that America is the orient (the East) and the true old world. Please read my previous blog post that proves that the Americas…

Quick Thought – Thursday, January 11, 2024: Take Heart. Have Faith.

Read Matthew 14:22-33 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:31 Reflect Peter sat in the front of the boat, looking out at the Sea of Galilee. The rain had finally let up, but the wind was still blowing hard, and the waves were beating against the boat. It had been more than nine hours since Jesus sent…

Raphaël (Raffaello Sanzio) (Italian, 1483-1520) The Miraculous Draught of Fishes for the Sistine Chapel, ca.1515-16 This Cartoon depicts one of the founding moments of Christianity – when the Jewish fisherman Simon, later renamed Peter, is called to be an apostle (or disciple) of Jesus Christ (Luke 5:1-11). Simon, wearing a blue tunic, is kneeling before Christ. He has been fishing unsuccessfully on the Lake of Gennesaret in the Sea of Galilee. Jesus tells him to cast his nets into deep water, which produces such a large catch that the boat overflows with fish. Simon exclaims that he is unworthy of such a miracle. Jesus raises his hand in blessing and replies, "Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men", announcing the role that Simon would now have in helping to spread the Christian faith.

The Judean Date Palm, which once covered much of Israel was extinct by the Middle Ages. Amazingly, in 2005 a team of scientists managed to resurrect this once prized tree.

The Transfiguration

1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

10 The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.

Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy

14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.”

17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

20-21 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time

22 When they came together in Galilee, he said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. 23 They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life.” And the disciples were filled with grief.

The Temple Tax

24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”

25 “Yes, he does,” he replied.

When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?”

26 “From others,” Peter answered.

“Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27 “But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.” — Matthew 17 | J.B.

A large crowd of people wondered where Jesus had gone. When they heard He had crossed the Sea of Galilee, they clambered into boats and a makeshift armada sailed across the lake, desperate to find Him. It is not, however, because they believed he was the long-awaited Messiah, the Son of God, and the Savior of the world. No. It was because they were hungry. When the crowd finally found Jesus, He said to them, “You are looking for me not because you saw signs, but because you ate the loaves and were filled.”

The day before, Jesus had performed the awesome miracle of feeding 5,000 people with just five loaves and two fish described in today’s gospel. He did this miracle to demonstrate His divine power and to announce that the Kingdom of God was at hand. But the main message the crowd learned from this miracle was, “Wow, this man has free food! Let’s follow him!”

When thinking about this I remembered a story I once heard about Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin:

Stalin called for a live chicken and proceeded to use it to make an unforgettable point before some of his henchmen. Forcefully clutching the chicken in one hand, with the other he began to systematically pluck out its feathers. As the chicken struggled in vain to escape, he continued with the painful denuding until the bird was completely stripped. “Now you watch,” Stalin said as he placed the chicken on the floor and walked away with some bread crumbs in his hand. Incredibly, the fear-crazed chicken hobbled toward him and clung to the legs of his trousers. Stalin threw a handful of grain to the bird, and it began to follow him around the room. He turned to his dumbfounded colleagues and said quietly, “This is the way to rule the people. Did you see how that chicken followed me for food, even though I had caused it such torture? People are like that chicken. If you inflict inordinate pain on them they will follow you for food the rest of their lives.”

Now, don’t get me wrong. Food is very important. Human beings cannot survive very long without food. That’s obvious and it was partly Jesus’ understanding of this need that led him to perform the miracle. But is it possible our desire not just for food, but for any other things that we believe we need to sustain ourselves, can cause us to act like the crowd that chased after Jesus? Or sometimes even like Stalin’s chicken?

Where do we place our faith? Do we enslave ourselves to the things of the world for a moment of security or fullness? Are we easily corrupted by disordered desires? Are there times when we are willing to throw away our freedom and self respect to satisfy our needs?

Jesus did not come as a Master or King to rule and would not allow himself to be seen as such. He did not come to fill bellies but to free hearts and minds. In fact, he made himself the slave and servant of all. He took the burden of the world upon himself. He made himself our very food and drink to nourish us to everlasting life: that we may never hunger and thirst again. He became the servant that we might be raised up to become sons and daughters of God.

If we search our hearts and examine our lives, we may realize that this is not what we in fact seek: that as much as we boast of and prize our freedom in this country, perhaps we are least free of all people – enslaved in the shackles of our own desires and weighed down by our poverty of spirit.
