Bible Study Your takeaway from The Parable of the Fig Tree

[dianegcook]

He does come after that, and it's judgement time. The last angel will sound a trumpet, the 6th seal will be released, then the 7th seal.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
(Mat 24:29-30 KJV)


And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
(Rev 6:14-16 KJV)
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
(Rev 8:1 KJV)

So, when that 6th seal is released, the sun, moon stars will all change. Men will try to hide from the Lord Jesus, they have just 1/2 hour of complete silence after the the sign of the sun, moon and stars.

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
(Mat 24:36 KJV)
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
(Mat 24:44 KJV)

One event, we know the exact time down to the last half hour. So much people try to run and hide from Jesus.

The other event Jesus described we don't know even the Hour or day. No time to hide, those that Call Jesus Lord and serve him are told to be ready.

What happened before that?/
6:2-
Sat on white horse, he went forth to conquer, so called antichrist.

Red horse, war
Black horse, famine Rev.6:6
A measure of wheat for a penny.......
And see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Pale horse, death and hell followed with him.
Spiritual death or physical

Verse 9, saw under the altar souls of them that were slain for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they held.
They were given white robes.
Verse 13 of Rev.6
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs,
Out of season.
Verse 17, the great day of His wrath is come.

What timing event do you put the Horse riders? What timing event the Vials?

These are many more folks than under the Alter of souls, already have white robes, holding palms in the Throne room.
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
(Rev 7:9 KJV)

Also, Rev is not in any specific order. It's a series of Visions given to John. Chapter 7 picks up in 14 which concludes in 19, but we have things going on from 15-18

Rev 12 has to be in the past during Jesus time. Otherwise Nobody got saved yet, and the Kingdom of God never came.

Rev 1-3 was written to Asia Minor, but I believe the conditions of the churches were important for the end time.

We only know a bunch of things in part. Most believe that 3 1/2 years into the Tribulation the Son of Perdition, AntiChrist, whatever you name him sets up in Israel.

the 2 Wittiness oppose they guy.
When they are killed, the whole world rejoices. That means the news is able to go out World Wide.

And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
(Rev 11:9-10 KJV)

They watch it on the news?

After the Vials though, I can promise there won't be one power line standing or anything broadcasting out. In Fact, in Rev 19

That is where everyone gets their own views, the timing events.

Yes, I agree Rev. Is not in order, especially the seals.
The scripture places the horses of this event in Rev.6: as you provided down the line some, the horses are the tribulation.
War
Famine
Death and so on.
As I have stated before, my belief, the seals Is the knowledge sealed in ones forehead, about the 7 trumps that are about to sound, it lets them recognize what trump is being sound.
They watch......
Waiting for that final trump, not the 6th, because that is when the false one appears.
The vials are poured out on the ones, that have been deceived.
Mystery Babylon, those whom took the Mark, and so forth.

Also you mention Rev.7:9, white robes, souls,
Same as mentioned in Rev.6:9-11
Those that were killed.....dead in Christ

For me, John 15 sheds some light on the fig tree passage. Jesus said that those who are "in him" but do not bear fruit will be cut off. Those who do not remain in HIm are then gathered up and thrown in the fire.

Also, when Jesus talked about the servant who, when his master returned, was found getting drunk and beating the other servants in stead of doing his job, I think that also shines light on the fig tree episode.

We are to bear fruit unto righteousness, in season and out. When the Lord returns or when we are called before Him, we had better be found doing our master's will.

However, when the Son of man returns, will he find faith(fulness) on the earth?
