Parable of the Fig Tree

[His_Will]

(All politics aside) The FulfillmentS (at least 10 in the Tanauch/Ot) that took place (may 15th) 1948 is known to the Israelis as their Independance Day (Yom Ha'atzmaut) is known to the "Palestinians" as the day of catastrophe (Nakba Day) since they were moved from their homes. This time every year is one of much tension. (With the fulfillments of Israel being reborn also think Spiritually by relating them to the works of Yeshua/ examples: being born in one day, redemption,..!)

Matthew 16:1-4

The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

Matt. 24 

Matt.24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (Luke 21:24) The signs follow, but notice the difference in Luke!

Matt.24:9 - "Then shall they"/ Mark 13:9- "they shall"- Then / Luke 21:12- " But before all these"! We had a type of this already. (While Matt, Mk and Lk are all touching on the 7 seals Luke's view point seems to also include the fall of Jerusalem that followed the crucifixion yrs later (Lk.21:24) and using this as a model of the end days).

*The Parable Of The Fig Tree

(* Matt.24:32-35/* Mark 13:28-31/* Luke 21:29-33) 

* Matt.24:32-35 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matt.5:18)

_____________________________

Those who would grasp this parable and see such come to pass have been told the generation (season). Properly dividing the word is a must. (Acts.1:7) Who is speaking and who is he speaking to? All these Apostels have passed over before Israel became a nation again therefore they did not know of this season. (certain things are revealed unto the peoples of a particular time.) Matt.16:28 / Luke 9:27 / John 8:51 -indeed some of those here saw Christ at the mount of transfiguration entering back into his kingdom! (Jn.8:51)

_____________________________ 

Matt.24:36-51 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

* When was this prophacy (Matt.24:32-35) fulfilled?

You plant a fig tree with a shoot (reinstatement /rather than creation) instead of a seed, just as Israel was reinstated as a nation once again of the decendants of the same seedline! This took place at the end of World War II / *1948* May.14th. Israel was reinstated as a nation! This is when the World recognized Israel as being a state again. / However some embrace (1967 June 5th) since that was the end of the 6 day war (when Israel had claimed the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza, West Bank, and the Golan Hieghts / up to Lebanon border.) ("Will you Stand with Israel?" thread!)

28 Iyyar - Jerusalem day (67)

5 Iyar - Indépendance day  (48)

* How Long is a Generation in this parable?

Generations: 40, 70, 80, (100,) 120yrs . These are considered to be biblical generations. The range is 40- 120 yrs.. Seeing as No man knows the day nor hour, and we were told to Learn the parable of the fig tree, I am most concerned about the the maximum range for the return of Yeshua Christ. This is the subject of the parable!

Add a generation to the date prophacy was fulfilled (1948) and you know Christ will return anytime between now and then, No Latter!

40yrs- Num.32:13 /would extend to either 1988 / Passed!

70 (or 80yrs.)- Ps.90:10 / 2018 or 2028 at the latest

(100yrs Gen.15:12-16/ 400 yrs divided by 4 generations- 100 / 1948-2048)

Highest possibility:

* 120yrs.- Gen.6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

* 1948 + 120 = 2068/ This would mean Christ is returning

Anytime Between 1948- 2068/(*2087?)  

Since it depends on starting point let’s not forget 1967 is when Jerusalem and the Temple Mount were claimed again by “Israel”  and currently USA identifies Jerusalem as The Capital of Israel guru g the time of the nations. Can’t firget Jerusalem for the kingdom centers around the Temple Mount. So 1967 pluss 120  is.................... 2087.....(5848-49 Hebrew calendar)

AI :According to the Talmud, Midrash, and Zohar, the Messiah will appear 6,000 years from creation, which is approximately the year 2240 in the Gregorian calendar. However, there are many different opinions about when the Messiah will come....As far as the year 6000 is concerned, it is simply an upper limit -- i.e., by the year 6000 the Mashiach will already be here. But that's not to say that it can't happen sooner. In these matters, says the Rambam, no one knows exactly what will happen until it happens.

Adam lived to be 930 / 130 when first born came <p>Seth 912 105 / Enosh 905 90 / Cainan 910 70 / Mahalealel 895 65 / Jared 962 162 <p>Enoch 365 65/ Methuselah 969 187 / Lamech 777 182/ Noah 950 500 <p>The Flood <p>Shem 600 100 / Arphaxad 498 35 / Salah 433 30 / Eber 464 34 / Peleg 239 30 / <p>Reu 239 32 / Serug 230 30 / Nahor 148 29 / Terah 205 70 / Abraham 175 86

When it comes to people today those over 100 have a hard time remembering their age and even a harder time documenting it! Overall I have yet to see anyone live over 120 yrs. of age (documented!) in todays world. /Also many watchmen relate 120 to shemitah (Sabbatical) &  Jubilee year (Yovel) Example 6,000 divided by 50 is 120/  That fact with Gen.6:3 I see as pointing to a generation being 120 yrs.. If you look at the ages within the bible the ages drastically dropped after the flood. And no one after Moses generation lived over 120yrs old that can documented either biblically, or scientifically (legally). 
Oldest man on record- "was Japanese Shigechiyo Izumi age 120 years 237 days." (did not live more than 120yrs! Not 121 yrs or more!) 

Notice according to the scriptures No one lived to see the age of 1000 (1day) 2 Pet.3:8. Ask yourself, can it be Documented that anyone lived over 120 following the death of Moses? 

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_verified_oldest_men 

Moses (the scribe of Gen.) was 3 yrs. Younger than his brother Aaron. They both died in same yr. 40yrs. into the Exodus. (2553/ 1458BC) Note. Moses lived to be 120 and Aaron 123!!! who lived over 120 following this? Exodus 7:7/ Numbers 33:38 - 39/ (Could Moshe/ Aaron have been the first and last of his generation?)

Mk.11:12-14 Cursed Fig Tree (Matt.21:18,19)

Jer.24 Good and bad figs

Ezra 2:62,70

House of Isreal was taken captive 200 years prior to the fall of Jerusalem. The focuss here is on Judah in which is also the territory (that symbolizes the fig tree) in which the temple stood and the Levites inhabited (the priests). Census taken durring return of a large group of Israelites in Ezra 8:15 showed lack of any qualified to leadership duties of the priesthood (no Levites) only Nethinim -(Nathan is to service/ not Levitical priests yet they were often given temple duties) /Nethinims are of Israel but not Aaron. There is a more sinister people who are not of Jacob that mixed in as well. (Another subject)

___________JERUSALEM___________
Deut.4:27-28,30-31 27The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive and the nations to which God will drive you. 28But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find him if you search for him with all your heart and all your soul. 30When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in latter days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him. 31For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant (the land of Israel) with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them all.
Jer.30:3 'For behold, days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.' The LORD says, 'I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it."
Is.11:11 Then it will happen on that day that the Lord will again recover the second time with His hand The remnant of His people, who will remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the islands of the sea.

* The fig tree is used by Hosea and Jeremiah to refer to the Jewish people (nation of Israel) More spacifically (the house of) Judah 

Hosea 9:10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. But they came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to shame, And they became as detestable as that which they loved.

*** Jer.24:2-6****

¹The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.  ²One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.  ³Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.  ⁴Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, ⁵Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.  ⁶For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

(Here we see the Fig tree symbolic of Juda, Jerusalem, and The Jewish people./ note: A fig is planted as a shoot rather than a seed)

4And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
8For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
Rev.6
13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (Ruach)
14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

The fig whasp can symbolize a shepherds or pastors. For they pollinate the fig. There are both good and bad figs and those who "preach". Smyrna fig is a prized female breed. (note the Church of Smyrna Rev. 2:8-11 one of 2 Chruches Christ found no fault with out of 7. The Smyrna fig doesn't bare fruit when grown alone. It needs a male such as the Caprifig. The blooms of a fig are inside the fig. the small fig whasps enter in through a narrow hole found in the bottom of the fig and pollenated from within. We are to be the bride of Christ? do you have an ongoing relationship with him?   Nakba Day/ * Zech.12:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9/ separate the politics from the seals. suggest / "Palestine"/ "Israel"

Amen Brother William, thank you for your vast wisdom and knowledge. Very insightful regarding the parable of the Fig Tree and the birth of Israel in 1948. I have enjoyed learning from your insight on FNC.  The time clock continues, YHWH bless you.

Lk.24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. / *Matt.24:27,28,29,30,31 (leading right up to the parable!)/ Amos 8:11

Interesting Note: From Adam to Abraham, Abraham was born in 1948! (Israel was reinstated in 1948!)

In Genesis 6:14

Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

The term used for "an ark" is tebah. This term is also used in Exodus 2:3

And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.

The Ark of covenant is a model of that witch is in Heaven The judgement/mercy seat the position of Adon Moshiach at the right hand of HaShem.....

The exact date (May 1948) was prophetic in relation to Israel being re-established! http://www.wnd.com/2012/06/author-bible-predicted-date-of-israels-r... 

-------Review---------

Eze37:21-22 (Israel would be reinstated/ reborn)

Lev.26:23-24 (effects of rebellion X7)

Eze.4:4-6 (390 plus 40= 430yrs)

70 yrs (Jer.25:11-12; 29:10) of Babylonian captivity.

Set free of This captivity 538 B.C.E. by decree of King Cyrus conquerer of Babylon. 538 begins base yr of calculations 430-70= 360 yrs of remaining punishment to come. Lev. prophacy comes into effect 360 Times 7 = 2,520 yrs. 360 dy Hebrew calendar - 907,200 dys converted to 365 dy cal. the 2,520 yrs or 907,2000 dys  becomes 2,485 yrs and 5 mounths or 2,485.5 yrs 5 mounths. Minus 538 yrs BCE you get 1,947yrs 5 mounths. (No yr zero)The yr 1,947.5 we call 1948.5 exactly 1,947.5 after 538 BCE. We come to 1948 May is the 5th mounth. May 14 1948 Israel was re-established (in a single day Isa.66:7-8).

_________________

The "fulfilments" link in intro of blog covers the Many scriptures that were fulfilled by this rebirth of Israel during this time of the Gentiles. Does this mean that the earthly government of the state of Israel is the Spiritual Kingdom of YHVH? NO. Does it mean that we must agree with all Israeli political policies and movements? NO It simpley means it is God's will that Israel was re-established when and how he said it would and that this is done in order to bring about other fulfilments (of which arent always to the postive). We know that the battle of Gog and Magog will take place. We know that the captial of the Apostacy will be Jerusalem. We also know that 1948 began the generation of the fig tree so the final generation is amoung us today.

This Blog should be seen as a Warning that its late in the game (TICK TOCK). We should all be walking in faith (without works is dead) and practicing discipline for our faith will be tried. Stay in His Word and be Blessed. Fear and Trust Only The LORD with all your heart, soul, and might and Show concern for your fellow man. Jas.2:19 The devils believe in God and tremble so ask yourself, what sets you apart from them?

(Amos 9:14-15 Israel would again have Israel as their own land and that they would never be uprooted again/ Is.66:7-8 reborn in a single day odds of this are so extreme that this has only happened once in recorded history/ Eze.27:21-22- re-established as a nation/ Jer.16:14-15 / Eze 4:3-6 Eze prophesied WHEN this would take place/ Eze.34:13 would return to their own land/ Jer.31:10 God would look over them (which was evident in the war that immediately broke out and the fact that such a small state even survives today being surrounded by terror/ Lev.26:3,7-8 army would be disproportionately powerful/ Deut 30:3-5 the nation would have great fortune/ Is. 11:11/ Deut.4:27-28,30-31/

Hello Brock!

The site looks great! I have been busy, so I am glad that you send me email notifications.

I really like the image of the copy of the newspaper that starts this thread. Thank you for making it available, and I will be sharing it.

I would like to share that I did a study on this 120 year subject. I found the account of a woman named, Jeanne Calment.

"...February 21, 1875 – August 4, 1997)^[1] had the longest confirmed human life span in history, living to the age of &0000000000000122000000122 years, &0000000000000164000000164 days (44724 days total)..."

 

I still don't quite know what to make of this. If you have any ideas, I would love to know them.

 

Thanks,

Becki

Politics Aside ("zionisim"), it is the will of God that the State of Israel's Independance took place as it did when it did (May 15th or 5th day of Iyar -1948). To anyone proclaiming the land should belong to any one people today (Palestinians, Jews, Muslims, Christians) is lacking understanding of the time of the Gentiles (nations)Lk.21:20-24 (Yom Ha'atzmaut)

I confess this. Its quite embarassing. But I did havehopes that at least something of the hype (2012) was true. I confess I hoped the theory had some potential to be true. I know Gods Word alone speaks truth. It will be many years down the lane when the Day Of Our Lord comes, I had hoped my own eyes would see it. Love to you all! Lets join & studies together, every chance we have.
