"A Warning Parable Enacted" - Mark 11:12-25 | Full Sunday Service

As the leaves of the fig tree here concealed the fact there was no fruit to enjoy, so the magnificence of the Temple conceals the fact that Israel has not produced the fruit of righteousness expected by God. Both incidents are prophetic warnings of the wrath to fall upon Israel for honoring God with their lips when their heart was far from Him. The passion of Jesus brings both salvation and judgment.
