Jesus answered that the day would come when not one of these stones would be left standing upon the other--and Jesus was right. In A.D. 70 the Romans, finally exasperated by the rebellious intransigence of the Jews, gave up all attempt at pacification and turned to destruction, and Jerusalem and the Temple were laid waste so that Jesus' prophecy literally came true.
Here speaks Jesus the prophet. Jesus knew that the way of power politics can end only in doom. The man and the nation which will not take the way of God are heading for disaster--even in material things. The man and the nation which refuse the dream of God will find their own dreams shattered also.

[SUP]7 [/SUP]Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. James 5:7-9

Hmmmmm....
Who is the book of James addressed to? The twelve tribes scattered abroad.
When will the twelve tribes be scattered abroad? During the great tribulation.
When is the Judge standing before the door? At the end of the great tribulation.
Let's read the next few verses in James 5...
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Why should the "twelve tribes" look to Job for comfort? Job pictures the Jew in great tribulation, yet his end is far better than the beginning. Job's 42 chapters pictures the 42 months (3.5 years) of great tribulation. If the Jew endures through the great tribulation, the end result will be the Millennial reign of Christ.

This post is just TERRIBLE. i cant stand it.
1st of all, the original text does not have chapter numbers or verse numbers, its all just a wall of text.
2nd of all, book of James was written to people in THAT DAY AND AGE, not to someone living 2000 years afterwards, this is absolutely absurd, why would you mail a letter to a bunch of people 2000 years in advance, and the tribes scattered abroad are the JEWS who lived in places outside of Jerusalem like the ones in Thessalonica etc. etc.
THIS IS RIDICILOUS WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
(PS. I thought jews being gathered in Israel was a sign of the end times, not them being "scattered abroad" lol.)
