The Parable Of The Fig Tree

The Parable of the Fig Tree is a vital one to understand, know, and apply because it tells us the time we are in and how close to the end. Further, God told us to learn it. The planting of the fig tree was in 1948 when Israel became a nation again. If you apply the generations of the Bible to that year, and watch for other signs and seasons as outlined in the Bible, it gives you a good idea of where we are in this 5th Trump heading towards the 6th. Generations of the Bible Mark 13:28-31 & Luke 21:29-33

Matthew 24:32-34 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 

The Parable of the Fig Tree is symbolic and sets the parameters of and for this final generation. Fig trees are planted by shoots and not seeds, and are symbolic of nations planted at the end of this age. If we take the setting out of the shoots when Israel returned as a nation in 1948 and watch for the leaves that were put forth from there in watching what goes on in that area (let alone the rest of the global government), it gives you a good idea of where we are in God's Word for this final generation. The leaves precede the fruit that comes in harvest time.  The 5 Month Period is "that summer" and 6th Trump followed by the harvest in the 7th Trump.

Not unlike those that know and follow God's Word and know the Key of David, there are two different kinds of figs. The smyrna fig is the female fig and the good, eatable fig. The caprice fig is the male fig and the bad uneatable fig. Knowing good fruit from bad fruit (figuratively speaking, meaning knowing the works as good or bad) is knowing and applying God's Word and discerning what is or is not of Him. The church of Smyrna was one of the seven churches in Revelation that God was pleased with because their "fruit" was good as they taught who the Kenites were and God's Word fully.

Jeremiah 24:1-10 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. 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. 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." Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, "Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; 'Like theses 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. 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. 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. 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: 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. 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.'"

Revelation 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
