This year, only one tree bore fruit on The Mount of Olives in Israel while Israel goes through a drought.
What was special about this tree?
Pope John Paul II blessed this one tree of all the trees there on his last visit!
Reminds me of when Jesus cursed The Fig Tree!
This miracle was not professed by a Catholic, but by a Jewish Arborer!

Tel Aviv- A tree blessed eight years ago by Pope John Paul II during his visit to the Holy Land was the only one in its plot of land to produce olives this year, a Jewish National Fund official said. "It is a miracle," Yossi Karni from the JNF, which maintains the plot, told local media. During a visit to northern Israel, near the Sea of Galilee, John Paul blessed a tree that was planted on the Mount of Beatitudes, where according to Christian beliefs Jesus gave his Sermon on the Mount. Karni noted that all the trees on the plot were treated equally, but the ones that did not receive the blessing have not given fruit this year. "They get treated the same, watered the same," he said, adding that some trees had even started to wither, which he could not explain. When asked what he would do with the olives, Karni, with a wry smile, told Israel's Channel 10 he might market their "holy oil." www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/220202,popes-tree-blossoms-a-miracle.html

Things like that happen and the naysayers say that it's propaganda and that the Jews are in on it. Miracles happen everyday. There was a tree that was struck by lightning and the burn mark left the word "Allah" in Arabic in the core of the tree. There was also a lion that roared "Allah" in a zoo. Of course, some will call this false because they automatically will attach "Islam" to it, but the word God is simply God in any language. If a Panda Bear said it in Chinese, would we have reason to doubt it or call it false or attribute it to Buddha? God is talking to us all the time. All we have to do is to drown out the noise and to listen.

Since Islam is a false religion, I truly doubt this "Allah" word was meant for anyone. I don't buy it. Anything that is not of Christ is not worthy. period. There is only one God and that is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. no others, no substitutes. Nada, zilch, nothing else but Jesus.
