+------Waiting For You; Nathaniel Revealing His Prior Thoughts Beneath The Fig Tree Upon Meeting Jesus 

Under the fig tree I mused,
a wolf surveying the skyline
dappled with glimmering of stars
before howling, about the prospect
of demise of the Empire (Caesar’s).
How even Achilles, implacable, had
a vulnerability, at least one. That
for Hebrews, these privations of
justice are too many. Too
many women snatched by Roman
guards, scuffed shields always bloody,
the foul stench of skin unwashed; At
synagogue too many babies gaunt, shrieking.
I thought: “Moses, you promised us
a Savior. Where is he? Its time.”

------John 1:43-51
The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.” Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.” “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.” Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.” Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”.
