Prophecy Update: Convergence of signs in Fig Tree Generation.

Fig Tree Generation

There are two key words in the Scriptures that help us to understand the days in which we live. The two words are ‘signs’ and ‘seasons.’ Signs precede the prophetic seasons. When driving on the highway you see signs telling you how far you have to go to reach your destination. When you arrive at the city, you are in the season, the geography that leads to your street and address. God works this way when He fulfills prophetic predictions. Jesus brings this up in the Gospels when He criticizes people for reading the weather signs but not analyzing the time in which they live.

“You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you do not know how to analyze this present time?”

Luke 12:56

Our passage points out the need for all Christians to recognize the time in which they live. We live in the fig tree generation. That means that we live in the last days because one of the great signs of the end times is the fig tree. In Matthew 24:32-36 God links together two words, generation and fig tree. When you link those two words together with the year 1948, we live in the time the fig tree (Israel) has begun to sprout it’s leaves!

“Now learn the parable from the fig tree: as soon as its branch has become tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.”

Matthew 24:32

Sometimes fig trees are used as symbols or pictures of Israel like Jeremiah 24:1-10 and Hosea 9:10. The fig tree generation is the generation that will not pass until all things are fulfilled according to Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. According to Psalm 90, a generation can be 70 or 80 years. That would put us in the season of the rapture because we are 73 years from the start of the nation of Israel.

“The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they be eighty years, yet is their labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”

Psalm 90:10

A generation can be anywhere from 30 years to 100 years according to the Bible. The word generation is used in a number of ways. Sometimes it defines the character of an age. Sometimes it defines a long age like Matthew 1:17 when it says there were fourteen generation from Abraham to David. That would be over a thousand years making each generation over 70 years. Sometimes a generation is the lifespan of the person. Adam lived 930 years and Moses lived 120 years making their own generation very long or longer than usual.

If we use Psalm 90:10 as a template, we are definitely in the season of the end time’s rapture of the church. In the year 2021 we will be 73 years old from the founding of the nation state of Israel on May 14^th of this year. If you add 7 years to this year, the time period of the Tribulation, then you come to 2028, 80 years from 1948. You can see how this can be a very important year! I want to examine the signs of the times and see if they lead to the season of the rapture as I am proposing. Do the signs lead us to such a belief? I can’t include everything so I will list several things in each era that are the most important. We will add more detail at a later date.

Signs of Fig Tree Generation

From 1947 to 1967 we see four distinct biblical signs.

1. The establishment of the nation of Israel, May 14^th 1948. This came on the heels of the November 1947 vote at the United Nations to partition the Promised Land into two states.

• The Benelux Union a union of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg became operative in 1948. This is the birth of the European Union and the first step towards world government. “The three countries therefore foreshadowed and provided the model for future European integration, such as the European Coal and Steel Community, the European Economic Community (EEC), and the European Community–European Union (EC–EU).”  en.wikipedia.org  Many other world organizations started in or near 1948. The World Council of Churches, UN Human Rights Declaration, Doomsday clock, General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT Treaty), World Trade Organization, and transistors to unite all banks together thru computers, (begun by Bell labs). It is interesting that a one-world globalism became so important at the same time Israel became a nation!

• The Arms race. At the end of WW2, Russia and the USA were the only nations with nuclear weapons. By 1967 that number grew to 6 nations and would grow very quickly after 1967. Weapons of mass destruction became a major part of military doctrine alongside the fear of another world war. The nations that could not make nukes started making biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction.

• Israel capturing Jerusalem in 1967. This is a major development in fulfilling Bible prophecy. The way they won the war patterned biblical prophecy. In six days they won a decisive victory and rested on the seventh. They disobeyed the Lord however in giving land back to their enemies. This sets up future conflicts the Scriptures detail. With Israel having sovereignty over her capital city, the world would now come against Israel claiming that Jerusalem is not Jewish. Zechariah predicted this 2500 years ago.

From 1967 to 1991 we see four distinct signs.

1. 1973 Yom Kippur War. Israel was attacked by Egypt and several Arab states that almost led to nuclear war. When Israel took the first blow in the war, they were very close to losing the nation and threatened the nations with the Sampson Option. The Samson Option represents the last line of defense for Israel. They will never again be the victims of a holocaust so they will use nukes if they have to. The USA and Soviet Union went to DefCon One and nuclear war looked very likely. Thank God it did not happen! The fall of America began in haste during that time with the passage of the Roe Vs. Wade abortion decision.

• Cry peace when there is no peace. Since 1967 there have been 8 peace treaties with Israel and the world. All of them have failed. 1967 – U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, 1978 – Camp David agreement, 1979 – Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty, 1991 – Madrid summit that failed, 1994 – Israel-Jordan agreement, 1993-1995 – Declaration of Principles/Oslo Accords, 2002-2003 – Bush Declaration/Arab peace initiative/Road Map, and 2020 Trumps Abraham Accords.

• Israel moved from a socialist country to a capitalist country in 1985 under the direction of Ronald Reagan. The President encouraged Prime Minister Menachem Begin to move away from socialism. This has fueled one of the most dramatic economic movements of the 20^th and 21^st centuries. This is also fulfilling Biblical prophecy Israel becoming one of the most prosperous nations in the world.

• In this period, the Gog Magog war could not happen because there was no way that Russia and Iran could unite. In 1979 Iran fell to Shiite Islamic fundamentalism under the Ayatollah Khomeini. In 1991, the Soviet Union fell apart, thus giving the first chance of a union to happen between Russia and Iran!

From 1991 to 2014 we see four distinct signs.

1. Russia began a relationship with Iran, building a nuclear power plant, sharing military hardware, and developing economic ties. This relationship will grow to a military conflict with Israel in the future fulfilling Ezekiel 38-39.

• September 11, 2001 the Islamic war came to the American shores. As the twin towers came down, many in America knew we were going to war. This would not be a war against a country, but against terrorism. This sets up the lawlessness we see among the nations today. Jesus said that the world would experience wars and rumors of wars, a war on terror intensifies this prophecy. It also began the process of judging America. Israel has learned that it cannot trust America. Bush and Obama stabbed Israel in the back.

• September 2005: Katrina and the land for peace fiction. America once again pushed Israel to give up land for peace when Pres. Bush convinced the Israelis to abandon the Gaza Strip. “Close to 10,000 Jews were expelled from their homes in the Gaza Strip and parts of northern Samaria. Katrina’s death toll is now expected to reach at least 10,000. America’s population ratio to Israel is about 50:1. Ten thousand Jews who lost their Gaza homes is the equivalent of about 500,000 Americans who are now reported to be displaced as result of Katrina.” jewschool.com  

• Election of Barack Obama, the most anti-Semitic president in our history. “Rubio: President Obama Cements Legacy as Most Anti-Israel U.S. President in History.”  rubio.senate.gov  That brings us to 2014. Things became very intense starting in 2014!

From 2014 to 2021: There are nine specific signs of the end times leading to the season of the rapture:

From 2014 to 2015 there were (1) four blood moons that God sent on four feast days to warn the world of the last days. During those two years, God would pattern the sins and judgment coming from Him after 2015. The USA abandoned the Middle East, opening the door for (2) Russia to move its military to Syria. Iran quickly followed Russia and now two major players of the Gog Magog prophecy are on the northern border of Israel. In August of 2014, Israel had a war with Hamas and the (3) USA did not support Israel in that war under Obama. This will mirror the Gog Magog war when all of the nations take a back seat when Russia attacks. (4) The passage of the JCPOA deal with Iran gave Iran 150 billion dollars and fueled the expansion of their military and missiles production for the Gog Magog prophecy.

In 2016 God showed the world that He is in charge. This will be a lesson for everyone to learn in the Tribulation period and something for all of us to remember. God is in charge of the rise and fall of leaders. (5) He placed Donald Trump in the Presidency, the most pro-Israel and pro-Christian president in our history. (6) Before Obama stepped away though, he had his last attack on Israel by abstaining from the UN vote to curse Israel on Dec.24, 2016.  President Obama aided and abetted radical, anti-Semitic forces at the U.N. and cemented his legacy as the most anti-Israel U.S. president in history. The date is 12/24/2016, the date that Jupiter entered the belly of Virgo and stayed there until Sept.23, 2017…nine months later. First time this has happened in history.

(7) This is called the Revelation 12 sign and “the odds are about 1 in a HUNDRED BILLION for it to happen. You see folks, in fact this is a VERY RARE alignment. It’s about the CONVERGENCE of all of the signs that have been given to us including the blood moons, the eclipse, the special dates and so on.” redmoonrapture.org God was basically telling the world that He is not done with Israel and that Obama, representing the antichrist system,  will not be able to destroy Israel.

(8) President Trump declared Jerusalem to be the eternal capital of Israel to the dismay of everyone in the world accept Christians and orthodox Jews. On May 14^th, 2018 the USA embassy was moved to Jerusalem and God was fulfilling Isaiah 62. The last sign actually mirrors what antichrist will do when he rises to power. In January of 2020, President Trump finally revealed his attempt to bring peace to the Middle East. This led to the Abraham accords. At the same time this was happening, the globalist launched the plannedemic to mirror the coming mark of the beast! I will talk more about this in the future, it is very important to understand that the rapture of the church is imminent. Get ready to meet the Lord in the air. The excitement is growing each day! You were chosen to live in this time for a reason, it is very special! Maranatha
