Members phkrause Posted May 15, 2012 Members Posted May 15, 2012 It was an almond branch. I think it was God's first go at resurrecting the dead. The branch brought forth buds, blossoms and almonds. No leaves, interestingly. I read somewhere that the reason for that was that God is interested in producing fruit, not just in a pretty show. Jesus cursed the fig tree because it has only leaves and no real fruit. It looked good but the appearance was deceiving. You wouldn't have a reference by any chance? I couldn't find anything anywhere. Thanks Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
