The fig tree is a symbol of Israel's national privileges.

Therefore if the fig tree is putting forth it's leaves it is growing nationally. I concur with Hal Lindsay and many others that the either Israel becoming a nation again or the recapturing of Jerusalem starts this generation Christ spoke of.

Which ever it is it will be during this time that the Church will be caught out. The Book of the Song of Solomon is believed by many to represent the Church and Jesus Christ. If this is true then we have confirmed the rapture is tied to the fig tree putting forth its leaves and green figs.

Song of Solomon 2:13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

If the interpretation of this verse is correct then you can expect the rapture to take place sometime during the late spring of the year. I believe that it will take place sometime around Pentecost in what ever year the Lord returns.

There are three trees in the Bible that arer representative of Israel. The fig represents Israel's national privileges.
The olive tree is representative of her religious priveleges and the vine of the vinyard is representative of her spiritual privileges.

...recapturing of Jerusalem starts this generation Christ spoke of.

Hadn't thought of that but I think that "the time of the gentiles is fulfilled" so it certainly could be that too.

Fascinating how you expand and exlain these things. I really appreciate it and am so glad you are here.

while technically still in effect, are coming to a fast close.

The times of the Gentiles are shown in Daniel 2 with the kingdoms of the world in Nebuchadnezzar's dream. In that vision the kingdoms last until the stone is cut out of the mountain without hands.

This show the "stone kingdom" following the gold, silver, brass, iron and clay. The stone, of course, is Jesus Christ and the everlasting kingdom starts with the Millennial Kingdom and goes on out into eternity (with the new heaven and earth) with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords on the throne.

Author: Hillbilly [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 16:42:51 11/21/10 Sun That is my belief and it is due to the necessity of that being the case because of the near return of Jesus. If Jesus is not about to return then we haven't reached the iron and clay. I believe we are there.
