Saint Simon the Zealot - The Revolutionary - His name rarely appeared in Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible. He often gave a dirty look to Matthew for his political collaboration with the Romans. Simon would have hated any foreign domination or interference. He was previously affiliated with the Zealot Party which was a fanatic religious and political group determined to resist the Roman occupation in Judea and to defend the Jewish religion. They refused to pay taxes and called for rebellion. Although Simon was a fearless revolutionist, he gradually converted his flaming nature until he became an apostle of peace.


After Pentecost he went to preach the Gospel in Samaria and in Suanis, Persia where he suffered martyrdom together with Saint Jude Thaddeus in about 65 AD, Saints Simon and Jude are venerated on October 28. His attribute in art is the saw since he was sawn in half by his executioners while still alive, like the prophet Isaiah.

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
