🇬🇧 Glory be to Jesus Christ! 🌞💙💛
Christ shows His authority and power as a King - on the example of a plant that does not have a soul, so as not to show it on the example of a creature with a soul – this shows His mercy. There is also an important lesson here about faith.
About faith in this place, and also about the fig tree, there is a
good essay at the link:

Matthew XXIV, 12 is well written at the link in Ukrainian:
https://oleksandr-zhabenko.github.io/uk/Matthew24-12.html
abomination of desolation
is mentioned in Daniel IX, 27, XI, 31,
XII, 11. Places are still unclear.
Matthew XXIV, 19 – Woe to pregnant women and those who nurse in
those days
– pregnant
– εν γαστρι εχουσαις – ‘en gastri echousais’ -
it will be difficult for them to escape because there are children.
Woe
does not mean a threat, but compassion, the Lord sincerely
sympathizes with them. A parallel place in Luke XXIII, 28-31. But there
the Greek text contains other words: Luke XXIII, 29 – κοιλιαι – koiliai
- belly, womb
.
