Mark 13:28 (KJS) Now learn a parable of the fig tree; [NOTE: Instructions
from Christ: Learn it; the parable of the fig tree!] When her branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
The fig tree is used symbolically: The word of God uses trees symbolically
to represent man:
Isai 61:3 (KJS) To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them
beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the
spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the
planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Note: the word tree: There are two trees which the fig tree represents: The
good fig and the bad fig:
1. the tree of Life
2. the tree of knowledge of good and evil
What do we know about the trees:
Gene 1:11 (KJS) And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb
yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed
is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Why is the parable of the fig tree so important? Why does God instruct us
to learn this parable? Why would God use a fig tree? To better understand
a parable, we need to know everything possible about this fig tree,
literally. By understanding the literal meaning of the fig tree, then we
may grasp a better understanding of the symbology of God's analogy. What do
we know about the horticulture of the fig tree?
Here's what PM teaches. There are two types of fig trees. The female fig
is good and eatable, and the male fig is bad and not eatable. At the end of
each fig, there is a tiny hole. INSIDE the fig plant itself there are
many, many, blossoms, and the fig wasp, goes into the little hole of the
male fig tree, which man cannot eat, and takes the pollen from the flowering
plant from WITHIN and then goes to the female tree and pollinates the fig
whereby the fig can have a continuing life.
Thereby the wasp keeps alive both the good and bad fig. This dumb wasp, as
some call them, support and make possible both trees! The wasp is symbolic
of ignorant men, ie: men that lack the wisdom from God's word, ie: the truth
in God's word! Which are those that do not care to know the word of God;
or through their own laziness just do not test the fruit! Which is to say,
they do not care to understand the living word of God They cannot discern
one tree from the other. They are ignorant. Spiritually speaking. They
will not know if they are hearing the truth .... for they do not know the
truth. Therefore, they support the good and the bad fig! Does this still
not occur even to this day.
Know the tree, know the fruit! Know the parable of the fig tree. Know
God's word; ie: Know Christ. In part the parable of the fig tree means: Is
what you are learning, coming from the word of God, good fig, or traditions
of men, bad fig? Do you know? Do you know how to test the fruit? You test
the fruit in God's word! Do not go to man's writings on God's word, go
directly to God's word, His scripture.
Matt 7:15 (KJS) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Note in Matt 7:15 the subject: false prophets; doing what? .. again
symbolic! Ravening wolves in sheep clothing. Sheep clothing is symbolic to
those that look like Christians. In other words, they are one that claims
to be a man of God, a prophet. Raven wolves is symbolic to those that do
the work of satan. So they look like Christians, ministers, preachers,
evangelist, (sheep clothing) but they are doing the work of satan (ravening
wolves.] Note: How we will be able to see behind this deception?
Matt 7:16 (KJS) Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?
Remember Gen 1:11; Matt 7:17; "they bring forth fruit after their kind!" Do
men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Meaning, Do men gather
grapes off the bramble bush, the bramble, the thorn bush, is symbolic of
satan. Remember, the trees which wanted a King and the bramble bush said I
would be your king as long as you stay in my shadow (Judg 9:13-15]? A
bramble, thorn bush does not cast a shadow, there is no protection with this
King, this thistle!
So the trees bearing fruit, bring forth fruit after their kind Gen 1:11;
Matt 7:17. This is how you shall know the sheep in wolves clothing by their
fruit. Fruit is the production of works and show me your works and I will
show you your faith. Are you eating off a thistle, those that do not teach
the word of God, but the traditions of men? Or, are you eating the grapes
which come off the vine? There is only One Vine, and Christ is that vine.
Test their fruit! One must be able to rightly discern are they eating from
God's word or traditions of men.
Matt 7:17 (KJS) Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
When someone teaches the word of God it bringeth forth good fruit. A
corrupt tree which claims to teach the word of God but is a raven wolf
bringeth forth evil fruit [works.] God will not bless their ministry but in
the end will dry them up from their roots. They will become a bunch of
beggars, know their fruit, ie know the truth in God's word and you are able
to discern!
Matt 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit.
Once you spot'm mark'm! Altho God is able to raise them up to be children
of Abraham I do not see this happening very often. They would need a severe
change of heart. Therefore once you mark'm them it is a good bet when you
come back to them they will still be teaching the same old lies.
Matt 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.
God starts judging at the pulpit! What is he teaching the congregation?
Matt 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
You shall know the false teachers, the false prophets, the false evangelist
by their fruits. They do not align with the truth in God's word! ie: to
know God's word you must read, study, and teach from the word of God, not a
verse here, and a verse there, but line by line, verse by verse, chapter by
chapter then and only then can you put on the full armour of God. Now lets
go to Mark and learn the other parts of this parable.
Mark 11:13 (KJS) And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if
haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found
nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
Do you think for one second that Christ did not know the season of the figs?
.... that is to say, does Christ know when the figs ripen and when they do
not? Of course he knew the season of the figs. He knew there were no figs,
and only leaves on this tree. He utilized this parable to teach us: Know
when the leaves chute forth!
Mark 11:14 (KJS) And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of
thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
Mark 11:20 (KJS) And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig
tree dried up from the roots.
Matt 24:32 (KJS) Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Summer is harvest time. The end of the world, which is the subject in Matt
24. See verse 3 the question that Jesus is answering in private to the
disciples Matt 24:4! This is when harvest will be made, when thy coming
will be, which is the end of the world.... flesh age,..... not the hour, but
the season, ye know that summer is nigh! Christ answers and says learn the
parable (the generation, the season,] of the fig tree. [Oh, this is so
important, do you know the generation? Do you have ears?]
Matt 13:30 (KJS) Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time
of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares,
and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Let both who, grow together? The wheat and the tares, the good and bad fig!
Also side note: Gather ye together FIRST the tares, are you sure you want to
leave the field of work to go fly off? Eze 13:20 Another subject for
another day! Know the fruit!
What else do we know about the literal fig tree! We also know how a fig
tree is planted. To plant a fig tree you set out a chute, not by seed! PM
believes this is symbolic of the nation that would be planted. It is
written, this planting would consummate the end of the world age, Matt
24:32-33, which is the beginning of the final generation! So when was, is,
or will, this fig tree, this nation, be planted?
Mark 11:23 (KJS) 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.
mountain = nation; the subject in Mark 11 20 is the bad fig tree; "be thou
removed" referring to the nation of the bad fig; I believe PM would equate
this symbolically to mean the seed of satan, his tree, the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, the kenites which are the fruit of satan!
Believe in your heart that you can cast the bad figs out then it shall come
to pass. For ye shall have power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the enemy! Now let's nail this down! Turn to the
book of Jere.
Jere 24:1 (KJS) The 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.
Let's examine this verse: Two baskets of figs before the temple of the Lord.
The temple of the Lord has one geographical location, on earth. In
Jerusalem, on Mt. Zion, North Side ie: the location
Psal 48:2 (KJS) Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is
mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
And guess who wants you all to worship him in this seat??? In short, satan!
Isai 14:13 (KJS) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon
the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend
above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou
shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
2The 2:4 (KJS) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called
God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing himself that he is God?
To understand Jer. 24 verse one we need to know a little history. The House
of Israel had been taken captive two hundred years prior to this incidence.
So we are focusing on Judah. Judah is part of the parable of the fig. The
location is Jerusalem. Nebuchadrezzar's captivity lasted 70 years! But in
the book of Ezra only about 1/2 of the children that returned were children
of Judah the other children were Nethinim. Nethinim is a Hebrew word which
means Nathan is to service; or given to service.
The preachers dedicated certain people to do part of the temple work. And
in the book of Ezra, at the end of Nebuchadrezzar captivity on their way
back to Jerusalem, Ezra did a head count, and not one Levical Priest was
with him. They were all Nethinim. This is why you must watch for Wolves
in Sheep clothing! The good fig and the bad figs. Nethinim are now in the
church! Let's read His word ....
Jere 24:2 (KJS) One 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.
Jere 24:3 (KJS) Then 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.
Jere 24:4 (KJS) Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Jere 24:5 (KJS) Thus 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.
Jere 24:6 (KJS) For 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.
In 1948, Judah returned to Jerusalem. Judah set up a nation, which was not
since 70AD. We see both good and bad figs from this nation.
Jere 24:7 (KJS) And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the
LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall
return unto me with their whole heart.
Jer 24:7 is speaking of the good figs. Those of the tribe of our brother
Judah, and are called Jews. (personally I think they will leave Jerusalem in
the end days and leave the bad figs. For God will give them a heart to know
HIM. Does not the word of God tell them to stay away from Jerusalem in the
end times? If they know Him then surely they will listen?]
Jere 24:8 (KJS) And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so
evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah,
and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and
them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
Jer 24:8 is the bad figs. Let's take a look very closely here at verse 8.
Where is the location of the bad figs? Where are these good and bad figs
of Judah? I'll quote: "That remain in this land, the residue of Jerusalem.
They are residents of Judea. The good fig are of the tribe of Judah and our
are brothers in Christ. The bad fig are those that call themselves Jews but
are not of the tribe of Judah but are of the synagogue of satan. Rev 2:9;
Rev 3:9; Now take a close look: "and the residue of Jerusalem" NOT ROME,
NOT SAN FRANCISCO, but JERUSALEM! Let's continue.....
Jere 24:9 (KJS) And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms
of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a
curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
for their hurt ... so shall be the bad figs scattered in all the kingdoms.
Jere 24:10 (KJS) And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence,
among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them
and to their fathers.
In 70 AD all were dispersed from Jerusalem and they traveled the world ...
but in the year of our Lord 1948 they returned to Jerusalem and set out the
chute, ie: Israel became a nation, and the fig tree was planted, which is
the beginning of the end generation.
Matt 24:32 (KJS) Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 34 Verily I
say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be
fulfilled.
This generation has grown for many, many, years and put forth leaves and we
know that summer is near: ie: the harvest! This is the other part of the
parable of the fig tree, this is what Christ was teaching on the Mt. of
Olives, when you see the fig, the chute put forth leaves know that this
generation, the generation of the fig tree, the generation which began in
1948 but was not consummated until 1967, shall not pass away until all these
things be fulfilled!
The generation of the fig tree was planted in 1948 and not completed until
1967! This combined with the fact that there are 3 generations mentioned in
the bible is the reason we will not know the hour! The 3 generations are:
The 40 year, the 70 year, and the 120 year generation! But, I tell you this:
If you want an outside date: 120 years from 1967 is the year 2087, by this
time Christ will have returned. I personally feel we are in the last 20
years.
Let's take a look at these generations: The 40 year generation: Numb 14:33
(KJS) And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear
your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. The 70 year
generation: Psal 90:10 (KJS) The days of our years are threescore years and
ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their
strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. The 120
year generation: Gen 6:3 (KJS) 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.
Mark 13:28 (KJS) Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
Stay in the word for the words are God's
Your brother in Christ,
`canmore
http://www.angelfire.com/nv/TheOliveBra ... oks12.html
from Christ: Learn it; the parable of the fig tree!] When her branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
The fig tree is used symbolically: The word of God uses trees symbolically
to represent man:
Isai 61:3 (KJS) To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them
beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the
spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the
planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Note: the word tree: There are two trees which the fig tree represents: The
good fig and the bad fig:
1. the tree of Life
2. the tree of knowledge of good and evil
What do we know about the trees:
Gene 1:11 (KJS) And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb
yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed
is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Why is the parable of the fig tree so important? Why does God instruct us
to learn this parable? Why would God use a fig tree? To better understand
a parable, we need to know everything possible about this fig tree,
literally. By understanding the literal meaning of the fig tree, then we
may grasp a better understanding of the symbology of God's analogy. What do
we know about the horticulture of the fig tree?
Here's what PM teaches. There are two types of fig trees. The female fig
is good and eatable, and the male fig is bad and not eatable. At the end of
each fig, there is a tiny hole. INSIDE the fig plant itself there are
many, many, blossoms, and the fig wasp, goes into the little hole of the
male fig tree, which man cannot eat, and takes the pollen from the flowering
plant from WITHIN and then goes to the female tree and pollinates the fig
whereby the fig can have a continuing life.
Thereby the wasp keeps alive both the good and bad fig. This dumb wasp, as
some call them, support and make possible both trees! The wasp is symbolic
of ignorant men, ie: men that lack the wisdom from God's word, ie: the truth
in God's word! Which are those that do not care to know the word of God;
or through their own laziness just do not test the fruit! Which is to say,
they do not care to understand the living word of God They cannot discern
one tree from the other. They are ignorant. Spiritually speaking. They
will not know if they are hearing the truth .... for they do not know the
truth. Therefore, they support the good and the bad fig! Does this still
not occur even to this day.
Know the tree, know the fruit! Know the parable of the fig tree. Know
God's word; ie: Know Christ. In part the parable of the fig tree means: Is
what you are learning, coming from the word of God, good fig, or traditions
of men, bad fig? Do you know? Do you know how to test the fruit? You test
the fruit in God's word! Do not go to man's writings on God's word, go
directly to God's word, His scripture.
Matt 7:15 (KJS) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Note in Matt 7:15 the subject: false prophets; doing what? .. again
symbolic! Ravening wolves in sheep clothing. Sheep clothing is symbolic to
those that look like Christians. In other words, they are one that claims
to be a man of God, a prophet. Raven wolves is symbolic to those that do
the work of satan. So they look like Christians, ministers, preachers,
evangelist, (sheep clothing) but they are doing the work of satan (ravening
wolves.] Note: How we will be able to see behind this deception?
Matt 7:16 (KJS) Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?
Remember Gen 1:11; Matt 7:17; "they bring forth fruit after their kind!" Do
men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Meaning, Do men gather
grapes off the bramble bush, the bramble, the thorn bush, is symbolic of
satan. Remember, the trees which wanted a King and the bramble bush said I
would be your king as long as you stay in my shadow (Judg 9:13-15]? A
bramble, thorn bush does not cast a shadow, there is no protection with this
King, this thistle!
So the trees bearing fruit, bring forth fruit after their kind Gen 1:11;
Matt 7:17. This is how you shall know the sheep in wolves clothing by their
fruit. Fruit is the production of works and show me your works and I will
show you your faith. Are you eating off a thistle, those that do not teach
the word of God, but the traditions of men? Or, are you eating the grapes
which come off the vine? There is only One Vine, and Christ is that vine.
Test their fruit! One must be able to rightly discern are they eating from
God's word or traditions of men.
Matt 7:17 (KJS) Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
When someone teaches the word of God it bringeth forth good fruit. A
corrupt tree which claims to teach the word of God but is a raven wolf
bringeth forth evil fruit [works.] God will not bless their ministry but in
the end will dry them up from their roots. They will become a bunch of
beggars, know their fruit, ie know the truth in God's word and you are able
to discern!
Matt 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit.
Once you spot'm mark'm! Altho God is able to raise them up to be children
of Abraham I do not see this happening very often. They would need a severe
change of heart. Therefore once you mark'm them it is a good bet when you
come back to them they will still be teaching the same old lies.
Matt 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.
God starts judging at the pulpit! What is he teaching the congregation?
Matt 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
You shall know the false teachers, the false prophets, the false evangelist
by their fruits. They do not align with the truth in God's word! ie: to
know God's word you must read, study, and teach from the word of God, not a
verse here, and a verse there, but line by line, verse by verse, chapter by
chapter then and only then can you put on the full armour of God. Now lets
go to Mark and learn the other parts of this parable.
Mark 11:13 (KJS) And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if
haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found
nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
Do you think for one second that Christ did not know the season of the figs?
.... that is to say, does Christ know when the figs ripen and when they do
not? Of course he knew the season of the figs. He knew there were no figs,
and only leaves on this tree. He utilized this parable to teach us: Know
when the leaves chute forth!
Mark 11:14 (KJS) And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of
thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
Mark 11:20 (KJS) And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig
tree dried up from the roots.
Matt 24:32 (KJS) Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Summer is harvest time. The end of the world, which is the subject in Matt
24. See verse 3 the question that Jesus is answering in private to the
disciples Matt 24:4! This is when harvest will be made, when thy coming
will be, which is the end of the world.... flesh age,..... not the hour, but
the season, ye know that summer is nigh! Christ answers and says learn the
parable (the generation, the season,] of the fig tree. [Oh, this is so
important, do you know the generation? Do you have ears?]
Matt 13:30 (KJS) Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time
of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares,
and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Let both who, grow together? The wheat and the tares, the good and bad fig!
Also side note: Gather ye together FIRST the tares, are you sure you want to
leave the field of work to go fly off? Eze 13:20 Another subject for
another day! Know the fruit!
What else do we know about the literal fig tree! We also know how a fig
tree is planted. To plant a fig tree you set out a chute, not by seed! PM
believes this is symbolic of the nation that would be planted. It is
written, this planting would consummate the end of the world age, Matt
24:32-33, which is the beginning of the final generation! So when was, is,
or will, this fig tree, this nation, be planted?
Mark 11:23 (KJS) 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.
mountain = nation; the subject in Mark 11 20 is the bad fig tree; "be thou
removed" referring to the nation of the bad fig; I believe PM would equate
this symbolically to mean the seed of satan, his tree, the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, the kenites which are the fruit of satan!
Believe in your heart that you can cast the bad figs out then it shall come
to pass. For ye shall have power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the enemy! Now let's nail this down! Turn to the
book of Jere.
Jere 24:1 (KJS) The 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.
Let's examine this verse: Two baskets of figs before the temple of the Lord.
The temple of the Lord has one geographical location, on earth. In
Jerusalem, on Mt. Zion, North Side ie: the location
Psal 48:2 (KJS) Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is
mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
And guess who wants you all to worship him in this seat??? In short, satan!
Isai 14:13 (KJS) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon
the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend
above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou
shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
2The 2:4 (KJS) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called
God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing himself that he is God?
To understand Jer. 24 verse one we need to know a little history. The House
of Israel had been taken captive two hundred years prior to this incidence.
So we are focusing on Judah. Judah is part of the parable of the fig. The
location is Jerusalem. Nebuchadrezzar's captivity lasted 70 years! But in
the book of Ezra only about 1/2 of the children that returned were children
of Judah the other children were Nethinim. Nethinim is a Hebrew word which
means Nathan is to service; or given to service.
The preachers dedicated certain people to do part of the temple work. And
in the book of Ezra, at the end of Nebuchadrezzar captivity on their way
back to Jerusalem, Ezra did a head count, and not one Levical Priest was
with him. They were all Nethinim. This is why you must watch for Wolves
in Sheep clothing! The good fig and the bad figs. Nethinim are now in the
church! Let's read His word ....
Jere 24:2 (KJS) One 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.
Jere 24:3 (KJS) Then 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.
Jere 24:4 (KJS) Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Jere 24:5 (KJS) Thus 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.
Jere 24:6 (KJS) For 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.
In 1948, Judah returned to Jerusalem. Judah set up a nation, which was not
since 70AD. We see both good and bad figs from this nation.
Jere 24:7 (KJS) And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the
LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall
return unto me with their whole heart.
Jer 24:7 is speaking of the good figs. Those of the tribe of our brother
Judah, and are called Jews. (personally I think they will leave Jerusalem in
the end days and leave the bad figs. For God will give them a heart to know
HIM. Does not the word of God tell them to stay away from Jerusalem in the
end times? If they know Him then surely they will listen?]
Jere 24:8 (KJS) And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so
evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah,
and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and
them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
Jer 24:8 is the bad figs. Let's take a look very closely here at verse 8.
Where is the location of the bad figs? Where are these good and bad figs
of Judah? I'll quote: "That remain in this land, the residue of Jerusalem.
They are residents of Judea. The good fig are of the tribe of Judah and our
are brothers in Christ. The bad fig are those that call themselves Jews but
are not of the tribe of Judah but are of the synagogue of satan. Rev 2:9;
Rev 3:9; Now take a close look: "and the residue of Jerusalem" NOT ROME,
NOT SAN FRANCISCO, but JERUSALEM! Let's continue.....
Jere 24:9 (KJS) And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms
of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a
curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
for their hurt ... so shall be the bad figs scattered in all the kingdoms.
Jere 24:10 (KJS) And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence,
among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them
and to their fathers.
In 70 AD all were dispersed from Jerusalem and they traveled the world ...
but in the year of our Lord 1948 they returned to Jerusalem and set out the
chute, ie: Israel became a nation, and the fig tree was planted, which is
the beginning of the end generation.
Matt 24:32 (KJS) Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 34 Verily I
say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be
fulfilled.
This generation has grown for many, many, years and put forth leaves and we
know that summer is near: ie: the harvest! This is the other part of the
parable of the fig tree, this is what Christ was teaching on the Mt. of
Olives, when you see the fig, the chute put forth leaves know that this
generation, the generation of the fig tree, the generation which began in
1948 but was not consummated until 1967, shall not pass away until all these
things be fulfilled!
The generation of the fig tree was planted in 1948 and not completed until
1967! This combined with the fact that there are 3 generations mentioned in
the bible is the reason we will not know the hour! The 3 generations are:
The 40 year, the 70 year, and the 120 year generation! But, I tell you this:
If you want an outside date: 120 years from 1967 is the year 2087, by this
time Christ will have returned. I personally feel we are in the last 20
years.
Let's take a look at these generations: The 40 year generation: Numb 14:33
(KJS) And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear
your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. The 70 year
generation: Psal 90:10 (KJS) The days of our years are threescore years and
ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their
strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. The 120
year generation: Gen 6:3 (KJS) 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.
Mark 13:28 (KJS) Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
Stay in the word for the words are God's
Your brother in Christ,
