Or if we go by the gospel, that brings us to chapter 11 verse 23.....
Matthew 11:23 (New International Version)
23And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths.[a] If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Verse 23 is an example of faith: "Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, 'Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea,' and shall not doubt ... but shall believe 230; [what God says will happen] shall have whatsoever he saith." We know that a "thus saith the LORD" condition will occur. There is a caution, however; namely, the Devil causes providences too. Satan can help an improper faith, prayer, or belief. Therefore, we must weigh a matter. If we become mature in Scripture, we will be able to discern between good and evil, between right and wrong. The point is that if one is correct in understanding a Scripture and exercises faith predicated on that Scripture, the "mountain" will be removed. "He shall have whatsoever he saith" if it is according to a "thus saith the LORD."
The "mountain" was Israel, the literal Mount Moriah in the type (and Christendom in the antitype). Jesus may have actually pointed to Mount Moriah while he said, "That figurative mountain, which represents the nation of Israel (for the house of God will be built on the top of the mountains), will be destroyed." Both the mountain and the fig tree represented Israel.
Hmmmmm...interesting again.... just another angle to look at...
