The Fig Tree Prophecy

The Shofar is a Warning Compliments PDImages.comLuke 21:5-36 | NIV NKJV | ESVThe Fig Tree ProphecyAccording to the fig tree prophecy there are five things a person must understand to comprehend this important prophecy. My commentary is in blue, I hope you enjoy this. Please comment after you read it, thankyou. Here’s Luke 21:6-36, NIV.

Luke 13:6 NIV

6 Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree, planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. 7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘ For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

8 ” ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. 9 If it bears fruit next year,;fine! If not, then cut it down.’ ”

Verse 6-9: The man with the vineyard is Father God. The Vineyard is earth and the fig tree is Israel. The caretaker of the vineyard is the Son of the farmer, the caretaker Jesus Christ. Christ is the one who tends the vines in the vineyard. The three years the Father God checks for fruit on the fig tree is during the first three years of Christ’s ministry which was mostly to the Jews first. The additional year was Christ’s last six months and the eleven disciples once again ministering to the Jews first. When Paul started taking the gospel to the Gentiles, this is when the tree was cut down, not to kill it but to strengthen it so it would eventually start bearing fruit.

Signs of the End of the Age

5Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6“As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.”

7″Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”

8He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. 9When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”

10Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

Verse 9-10-The end will not come right away.  Christ is teaching us that there will be some time before these things French People When Hitler took Paris he is speaking of, before the time of the end, specifically thousands of years. Christ is prophesying about Communism, Lenin & Stalin, Adolf Hitler HitlerMan’s Cruelty to Man WW1, WW2 and the many wars since including when the Locust like Islamic radicalism re-awakened right after the Yom Kipper war in 1974.

12“But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. 13This will result in your being witnesses to them. 14But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. 15For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. 16You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17All men will hate you because of me. 18But no t a hair of your head will perish. 19By standing firm you will gain life.

Verses -12-19- But before all this, These verses prophesy about those first millions of Christians starting with the disciples first, that will be thrown to the lions, tortured, tied up and taken where they do not wish to go. They will be given new derogatory name repeated by many of that time, Nero himself, a great false witness blaming them of all the fires of Rome breaking the 9th commandment, he being emperor of Rome, quoted by Josephus the historian, as calling them that scourge of a name, “Those Christians!”-literal translation–“Those Christ-followers!”

20“When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfil led.

Jerusalem will be trampled on till the time of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Jerusalem in God’s eyes is the same as Israel. s eggF0pR6PE8q4M7AiJj6sdqZe n1Y500A0 This prophecy was fulfilled in 1948 when Israel became a nation. From 1948 on half of Jerusalem was controlled by Israel. This began fulfillment of this prophecy. Israel took all of Jerusalem in the 1967 six day war. All of this mind you came right after the birth of zionism in 1897 with Theodor Herzl , and only two years before in which on December 7, 1895, Lenin was thrown in jail under arrest for challenging current theories of gover nment and passing out pamphlets and spreading literature for the Marxist group he joined. But Lenin kept passing out this Marxist propaganda eventually leading to a revolutionary success with Russia in the 1917 coup. 2002_3664_s[1]They have been exporting their model for Marxist revolution all over the world since. The world has seen more revolutions in the last 100 years then the 1900 years prior. Only 17 years after the birth of modern zionism in 1914 WWI started with the assasination of a Duke in Austria in which 20 million were killed and 40 million injured. Then only about 22 years later another war, WWII in wh ich 70 million were killed. One of Hitler’s rational to exterminate the Jews was the fear that the Jewish revolutionaries were spreading, since Marx was a Jew. So this fear of revolution was all over the world, revolution was everywhere in the newspapers. Christ prophesies these worries of the coming revolutions the world over in verse 9.

25“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

All these extre me weather patterns, Hurricanes, Tsunamis, Tornadoes and roaring of the seas all over the world. We are to look up for our redemption is near! We are to get dressed and put on our wedding garments for judgment is near!

29He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. 30When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

To understand this we are to look at all the trees when they are sprouting leaves and fruit. We never know exactly what day spring starts, never the day. We know when the season is near, even upon us but never when spring begins exactly. The Fig Tree Prophecy began when Israel became a nation again as prophesied by Ezekiel, 37:21-22, in the Valley of Dry Bones; Dry bones like dry branches in winter with no leaves on them. It is this witness to our spirit that we must earnestly comprehend, for this witness is the Holy Spirit.

This means that not only will God move our spirits with fulfillment of prophecy in scripture, but the Lord will witness confirmation in our spirits of something big coming through all creation, the sun, moon and stars, comets, and even false prophets will know something like “The End” is coming. It was like this in the time of the first visit by Christ and there is no reason to think it will not be this way at the Second Coming, The Rapture, the Day of the Lord. But a day will come when the great angels harvest the fruit of the earth separating it from the chaff throwing the chaff in the lake of fire, eternal damnation. This day for simplicity sake we will call Judgment day, Lord’s Day, Day of Wrath, Second Coming, Rapture, The Time of Jacob’s Trouble, Millennial day of rest for some, others a second death in the lake of fire.

The calendars tell us a beginning day of spring, but it might be a late spring or an early spring, each year is different. The farmers never go by the calender but by the Farmer’s Almanac. But we have a feeling when spring is near and this is all we know. Narrow Road Storm Something is coming, something very big, something very overwhelming. No one can stop this day from coming, not the president of the United States, not the greatest book author or the most famous Hollywood movie star.

32“I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 33Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Jesus Christ telling the truth. We had better listen. The generation that sees Israel become a nation again will not pass away and will actually see the Day of the Lord, Second Coming, Rapture, Judgment of Mankind. Christ’s words will never pass away. This last generation will live seventy years, according to Moses, Psalms 90:10.

34“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. 35For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

We are to watch and pray always about the Second Coming, Rapture, and when it will occur. We are to always pray we are counted worthy. This insinuates many will think they are worthy but will not be counted worthy. A Godly man will watch for the end and be ready!

 

Five Things To Understand The Fig Tree Prophecy

A.) Jerusalem will be trampled on by the gentiles until the time of the gentiles are fulfilled, Luke 21:24.

B.) This generation will not pass away until the Day of the Lord has occurred, Luke 21:32.

C.) The length of time this last generation will live will be seventy years, eighty if lucky before flying away being raptured, taken away, Moses, Psalms 90:10.

D.) Be always watching, always praying that you are able to escape these things, Luke 21:36.

E.) When you see these things happening you will know the kingdom of God is

near, Luke 21:31.

Okay now here’s additional comments to understand this section prophetically. Verse 12 -halfway through verse 24, starts with “But before all this”, Christ is prophesying about the immediate future of the disciples. Verse 24 ends with “They will be taken to all the nations.” , They are the nation of Israel and the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. by the Romans. This is the same thing Christ is talking about in verse six when he says not one stone will be left on a stone, every one of them will be thrown down. Verse 8-10 is general information on false prophets and also WW1,2 &3 and all the wars in the last 100 years involving the United Nations. The second half of verse 24 all the way to verse 36 are the key verses to understand the Fig Tree Prophecy.

Any comments? Anything to add?

I am a prolific writer and interpreter of biblical prophecy for today's generations of Christians. I also am a witness of God's soon coming judgment of the city of man, the best man could build, Babylon the Great, now known to be America, that will fall in one day, one hour as breathed through the Evangelist Apostle John, clearly described Revelation 18:1-24. I also am witness to the Beast rising in the Middle East known as Islam, whom the Antichrist will rise through, as a Beast Man, known as the 12th Mahdi, will usher in uncontrolled world nuclear proliferation as clearly described by the prophet Joel 2:1-11, breathed through John the Apostle in Revelation 9:13-21, but one of the three unholy trinity kings Beasts, two of which are men, that emerge just east of the Euphrates River, where Islam rules, also where the four Fallen Angels were released that were bound at this same Euphrates River, Revelation 9:13-21, whom were responsible for the plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that kills 1/3rd of mankind. We witnesses that support this ministry, drinking at this trough, are not prophets, but witnesses pointing to God's truth in the love letter he wrote for all mankind to see.
