Do you hold a replacement theology position that the church has replaced Israel ? And therefore, you cannot accept that the fig tree represents either Israel or Jerusalem ?

I do not know about Spiritual Israelite, I have dealt with your red herring "replacement theology" for what it is. It is a distraction from the Truth of what God's Word actually says concerning Israel, her restoration in Christ, and the fruitless destiny of the nation.

Matthew 21:19
  • "And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away."
You said you have KJV, great! Me too. But do you want to "DEAL WITH" the fact that, according to the authoritative Word of God, no fruit will "ever" come from the nation of Israel AGAIN? Hello?!?

Hosea 1:10
  • "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God."
Romans 9:26
  • "And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God."
Christ fulfilled, satisfied, and completed this by gathering all together in one COVENANT TREE of ISRAEL -- which is HIMSELF! The only true Israel. It was Christ who have confirmed a covenant in Daneil 9:27 with Congregation Israel. It was God who has brought those into a covenant relation to Himself, who were before deemed foreigners and strangers from Israel. Not your idea of so-called Mt. Sinai Covenant need to be confirmed by national Israel where you "THOUGHT" the church should not replace her. What? Are you going to tell God that he is a liar and that national Israel will have fruit again despite what Christ said in Matthew 21:9?

So, do you want to deal with that? Or just say Amen? Either will do.

Your error is to think the Return comes within the 80 year deadline.
Yes, the parable of the fig tree events culminate with Jesus's return.

The event that must happen before the generation of people alive when the Jewish State of Israel was established, passes away; is the world changer of the Sixth Seal.
keras, in your 1948 + 80 years = 2028, how does your solar event/replacement of Israel/ by a Christian nation built in its place, then Gog/Magog, followed by the 7 year 70th week, then Armageddon, then Jesus's Second Coming scenario - all fit between now and 2028 ?

Not if you did not understand why Christ used the Fig Tree and all other trees as an example of discernment for the signs of His Return. He did not tell us to watch for national Israel to come back on the world's stage so that you start playing around with your flawed prophetic clock.

It plainly doesn't.
Jesus simply used that analogy as a sign for the commencement of the last days.
Proved by how that 'fig tree' buds but will never bear fruit.

Firstly; the Sixth Seal CME disaster will happen before 2028. Could be tomorrow!

Then; the 3 1/2 year of Satanic world control will not be counted as part of the 2000 year Christian age.

Jesus's parable was not learn a parable of "a" tree, but of the fig tree, specifically.
Verse 33 explains why He told the parable. To indicate how near His return would be when people began seeing "all these things" coming to pass. As I've already said. You are not seeing the context of the parable. You are wrong about everything when it comes to end times doctrine.

Do you hold a replacement theology position that the church has replaced Israel ?
No. I believe there are two Israels as Paul contrasted in Romans 9:6-8. There is the nation of Israel and then there is the spiritual Israel of God which he also wrote about in Ephesians 2:11-22 and Galatians 6:15-16. I do not have the nation of Israel being replaced by anyone or anything. I believe that the blood of Christ brought Jew and Gentile believers together as one body as Paul wrote about in Ephesians 2:11-3:6 and that makes them fellowcitizens and fellowheirs of God's promises to Abraham and his seed. No one gets replaced. If you want to put a label on this you can call it unity theology or something like that. Replacement theology does not describe what I believe.

And therefore, you cannot accept that the fig tree represents either Israel or Jerusalem ?
The fig tree parable represents the nearness of something. In this case the nearness of summer when the fig tree's branch starts putting forth leaves. Jesus compared that to the nearness of His return when people start seeing "all these things" come to pass. He was simply giving an analogy to help people understand how near His return would be when they started seeing "all these things" come to pass with "all these things" being false Christs and false prophets deceiving many people and such.

Based on what bible passage(s) ?
Based on the fact that a generation refers to the time from a person's birth to the time where they have their own kids. Once they have their own kids it starts a new generation.

Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself [c]an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, inflicting the punishment of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing favor to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

See here how it refers to generations in terms of when people have children? So, it refers to the time period in which people have children. The children then begin a new generation. So, the children of the fathers mentioned in this passage was the second generation, and then the children of those children would be the third generation and the children of those children would be the fourth generation. So, again, a generation in that sense is about 30 to 40 years and not 70 years. And, again, a generation NEVER refers to the average life span of human beings as you are falsely claiming by referencing Psalm 90:10.

Show me any Bible passage where the word generation refers to the average lifespan of people. You won't find it. It's common knowledge that a chronological generation refers to the time that someone grows to be an adult and has kids. Once they have kids then it spawns a new generation. In that definition of a generation, it's never 70 years. Maybe from the beginning until Noah's day a generation was 100 years or more since people lived so long back then and had kids at an old age, but since the time that the average life span was about 70 years or so a generation is about 30 to 40 years.

Firstly; the Sixth Seal CME disaster will happen before 2028. Could be tomorrow!

Here you go again with the sun destroying the Earth theory.

Rev 6:12-14
(12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
(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.
(14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

What Christ said here has NOTHING to do with the literal sun, moon or stars at all! Nothing to do with your so-called CME theory. Or some physical signs from space above our heads. Forget that.

Rather, this is a prophecy against Christ's UNFAITHFUL New Testament congregation the church where the sun, moon, and stars represents!

Mountains and Islands are used in Scripture to refer to kingdoms and often are the representation of the Lord's kingdom. Islands because they as a refuge, retreat, shelter, or oasis seated in the midst of the sea (symbolizing world), and thus used as a representation of God's kingdom. And mountain because in the past they were also illustrating a places of protection. Those who are weary of sin flee as a bird to their mountain because that is where the protection of God is. It is the lofty place of safety from attack, and thus it is often used to represent the protection of God's kingdom. e.g., We are those in the mountains that go forth to bring the good news of the gospel (Isaiah 52:7).

Isaiah 51:5
  • "My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust."
Isles are the same as Islands. Islands here represent the Lord's kingdom. As also seen in Isaiah 60.

Isaiah 60:9
  • "Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee."
Mountains often have the same representation of His kingdom:

Psalms 87:1-3
  • "His foundation is in the holy mountains.
  • The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
  • Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah."
also...

Psalms 11:12
  • "...In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
  • For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart."
Psalms 121:1-2
  • "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
  • My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth."
The word translated hill is the exact same word translated mountain. Mount Zion represents the kingdom of God. Thus when we read Revelation 16:20, in its proper context, and in harmoneous relationship to the whole Bible, we see this is God's judgment specifically on the unfaithful church, whom He had warned of their removal before. They are being removed as a consequence of their disobedience.

Revelation 16:20

  • "And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found."
Compare this with what God warned the "fallen church" that He would do as a judgment if they didn't repent and do the first works:

Revelation 2:5
  • "Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."
This is the fate of the fallen church, to be moved out of its place. i.e., as symbolized also in Revelation chapter 6:

Revelation 6:14
  • "And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places."
Their place was as a representation of the New Testament kingdom of God (as Old Testament Israel was before it fell), but because of their abominations, God's spirit is removed from them that they are no longer houses of God. In that verse, the heaven departing like a scroll "signifies" the Kingdom of Heaven is gone from them (as with Israel before them -Matthew 21:43), and it is done like a scroll closed to "signify" the word of God being shut up to them. A famine of hearing the word of God (Amos 8). This is the fulfillment of what God promised the church in Revelation chapter 2 would happen if they didn't repent of their evil works. God's judgment upon the churches realized.

So Revealtion 16 has nothing to do with physical mountains or islands literally move out of their place in literal sea. This has nothing to do with your literal sun theory. It is because you lack spiritual discernment of what God actually talk about, allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture. It has to do everything with the fall of church where God is judging her for her unfaithful and all of her unfaithful people (stars) will fall from their place in the congregation.

Selah!

I do not know about Spiritual Israelite, I have dealt with your red herring "replacement theology" for what it is. It is a distraction from the Truth of what God's Word actually says concerning Israel, her restoration in Christ, and the fruitless destiny of the nation.

Matthew 21:19
  • "And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away."
You said you have KJV, great! Me too. But do you want to "DEAL WITH" the fact that, according to the authoritative Word of God, no fruit will "ever" come from the nation of Israel AGAIN? Hello?!?

Looking at the interlinear for this verse, just now, the translators have framed this verse from the perspective of Israel being replace and not being able to bring forth fruit. I would suggest that the interlinear infers that Israel will not produce any fruit from when Christ cursed the fig tree until the seventh age when once again israel will begin to produce fruit once more. This is also the understanding I get from the Old Testament.

Here is snipped image from the interlinear for this particular verse: -

1722758061252.png

Writing out the English words for this verse I would suggest that the paraphrasing of this verse should read as: -

And having seen fig tree one along the road He came to it and nothing found on it if not leaves only and He says to it Never/No no more from you fruit let there be to/until the age And withered immediately the fig tree.​

It is my view that the age being referred to in the Interlinear is the seventh age and that if we accept that God does not begin to gather Israel to Himself until the conclusion/completion of the fourth age/generation when He redeems them and washes them and renews with Israel the same covenant that He had entered into with Israel at Mt Sinia, that would establish the Nation of Israel as a Kingdom of Priests, a Holy Nation and His Possession among the Nations, which they had rebelled against while Moses was up on the mountain with God for 40 days. If Israel enters into this covenant in our near future, then they will once more begin to produce fruit on the fig tree.

I would suggest that our respective translations all subtly present replacement theology in their translations of this verse and because we blindly accept their translations as being Gospel, we too have joined them in their sin of accepting the replacement theology of Israel.

Israel has not been replaced by God and will play their part in the Seventh Age harvesting of Sould into God's everlasting Kingdom.

Shalom

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

No, not the commencement of the last days. But all the things that Jesus has just described, including His return.

Matthew 24:15-30 is the time period of the great tribulation - that ends with Jesus's return. The great tribulation will begin with the abomination of desolation in Matthew 24:15.


Firstly; the Sixth Seal CME disaster will happen before 2028. Could be tomorrow!

Then; the 3 1/2 year of Satanic world control will not be counted as part of the 2000 year Christian age.
Making the glorious Return - circa 2033
Can't happen that way, keras, because that abomination of desolation has to be setup before the sixth seal - according to the order in Matthew 24:15-29.

The sixth seal corresponds to Matthew 24:29-30a. Matthew 24:15 says that the abomination of desolation is standing in the holy place, before then.

This is the correct order, keras....

1. Matthew 24:15 the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.
2. Revelation 12:7-9 Satan cast down to earth having a time, times, half left - as the great tribulation has just started.
3. Matthew 24:29-30a after the tribulation of those days, the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, the sixth seal

What you have, keras, is just backwards of the text.....

3. Matthew 24:29 as the sixth seal, the CME event in your view, that re-shapes the middle east with a Christian nation of Beulah replacing the current nation of Israel.

Then the 7 years begin.

2. Then, Matthew 24:15, in the middle of the 7 years, the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.

You are disregarding verse 32.

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

That verse denotes an early stage of what the fig tree represents. Jerusalem back in the hands of the Jews in 1967. The parable of the fig tree is not just talking about any generation - but a specific generation.

Maybe from the beginning until Noah's day a generation was 100 years or more since people lived so long back then and had kids at an old age, but since the time that the average life span was about 70 years or so a generation is about 30 to 40 years.
We are not living back in Noah's day. So that is irrelevant.

People don't pass away at 30 to 40 years on the average. The life expectancy in the United States is 77.5 years. In Russia, 72.7 years. In China, 78.2 years. In Japan, 85.15 years (yeah, I did realize that either). In Israel, 82.5 years.

Don't lie, Doug. I have said multiple times now that verse 33 explains why Jesus told the parable in verse 32. If you disagree with that, so be it, but it is a lie that I'm disregarding verse 32. I believe you are missing that the meaning behind the parable was to give an indication of how near Christ's return would be after "all these things" started coming to pass. It would be as near as the coming of summer when the fig tree's branch starts putting forth leaves.

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

That verse denotes an early stage of what the fig tree represents. Jerusalem back in the hands of the Jews in 1967. The parable of the fig tree is not just talking about any generation - but a specific generation.
Doug, how many times do I have to tell you that a chronological generation cannot be 70 years as you believe? You are as stubborn as anyone I've ever seen. No matter what you say about me, what I don't do is try to create new definitions for words like you do. The word generation NEVER refers to the average life span of human beings. So, if you want to keep being dishonest with scripture and keep trying to make it say what you want it to say, that's your choice, but it says a lot about you and your lack of honesty and integrity.

We are not living back in Noah's day. So that is irrelevant.
It's relevant in the sense of how long a chronological generation is. Once again, it is the length of time that a person has children, which is generally up to 30 to 40 years. The children then become a new generation. The word NEVER refers to the average life span of humans as you imagine.

People don't pass away at 30 to 40 years on the average. The life expectancy in the United States is 77.5 years. In Russia, 72.7 years. In China, 78.2 years. In Japan, 85.15 years (yeah, I did realize that either). In Israel, 82.5 years.
Doug, are you even reading anything I'm saying? The word generation NEVER refers to the average life expectancy of humans! NEVER! You are being dishonest by trying to create a new definition for the word that doesn't exist. Why do you have no conscience about being so dishonest like this?

I believe you are missing that the meaning behind the parable was to give an indication of how near Christ's return would be after "all these things" started coming to pass.
Jesus had already referred to the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel in Matthew 24:15. By which, in Daniel 12:11-12, the number of days from when the abomination of desolation is setup - exactly 1335 days would be to Jesus's return.

So the parable would not be needed for the purpose of how near Christ's return would be after "all these things" started to pass - because the start is with the abomination of desolation, which will begin the great tribulation.

The purpose the parable of a fig tree is to know what specific generation would witness Jesus's return.

Doug, how many times do I have to tell you that a chronological generation cannot be 70 years as you believe?
I did not say "chronological" generation, but the length of a generation.

Once again, it is the length of time that a person has children, which is generally up to 30 to 40 years. The children then become a new generation. The word NEVER refers to the average life span of humans as you imagine.

The text says...

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

A generation does not pass, i.e. die off, at the child bearing age, but old age.

Doug, are you even reading anything I'm saying? The word generation NEVER refers to the average life expectancy of humans! NEVER!

What you are saying about a generation's length does not agree with what the text says.

The text says...

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

A generation does not pass, i.e. die off, at the child bearing age, but old age.

child bearing age is one stage of a generation. You have never heard the terms "teenagers", "in their prime", "middle age", "old age" ? Those are all stages of a generation.

The purpose the parable of a fig tree is to know what specific generation would witness Jesus's return.
Matthew 24:15-21 is about what happened in 70 AD when the Roman armies surrounded Jerusalem and then proceeded to destroy it. So, the parable has nothing to do with that and does indeed relate to how soon Christ's return would be in the future when "all these things" begin to come to pass, which include the things Jesus referenced in Matthew 24:23-26.. You have no idea of what you're talking about. Absolutely none.


I did not say "chronological" generation, the length of a generation.
No matter what you want to call it, there is no definition of the word generation that equates it to the average life span of human beings. Period. You are deceptively trying to create a new definition for the word in order to get scripture to fit your doctrine. That is evil and dishonest.

The text says...

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

A generation does not pass, i.e. die off, at the child bearing age, but old age.
How are you coming to that conclusion? That verse certainly doesn't support what you're saying. It's not even referring to a period of time, it's referring to a type of people. Notice what "this generation" refers to in the following passage:

Matthew 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

In Matthew 23 Jesus related "this generation" directly to the unbelieving Jews in Jerusalem that He sharply rebuked for being hypocrites and "a generation of vipers" (Matt 23:33). One of the definitions of the word generation is a type of people. So, "this generation" refers to either to evil people in general like the hypocritical Pharisees and scribes that Jesus rebuked in Matthew 23 or it refers to Jews or unbelieving Jews in particular. It does not refer to a period of time.

What you are saying about a generation's length does not agree with what the text says.

The text says...

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

A generation does not pass, i.e. die off, at the child bearing age, but old age.
LOL. You clearly have no understanding of the word generation whatsoever. Again, it NEVER refers to the average life span of human beings. You can't seem to get that through your head. And, yes, a generation can end when parents are done having kids. Their kids make up a new generation. This is common sense, Doug. You are so blind and so obsessed with keeping your doctrine afloat that you can't even accept the definitions of the word generation, none of which are an average human life span.

LOL. No, they are not. You are trying to create a new definition for the word generation that doesn't exist. Do me a favor and look up the definitions of the Greek word "genea" that the English word "generation" is translated from and look up the English definitions of the word "generation" as well. You will find that NONE of them refer to the life span of human beings. Yet, that is what you're trying to tell me the word means. Nonsense. You are a very dishonest person as evidenced by your dishonest attempts to change scripture.

No, not the commencement of the last days. But all the things that Jesus has just described, including His return.

Matthew 24:15-30 is the time period of the great tribulation - that ends with Jesus's return. The great tribulation will begin with the abomination of desolation in Matthew 24:15.
As a person born before May 1948, I DO expect to see it all; incl the glorious Return. Old, yes; but still alive and capable.

I agree with your explanation of the 'generation' in Matt 24:34 That verse says; ....the present generation, simply meaning : those alive to see the 'fig tree', Judah's return to the holy Land. S.I., can whine and moan is his usual way, the reality of things is not consequential to him.

The Great Tribulation will start with the AoD in the new Temple. But the Sixth Seal in not part of the GT.
You make the bad mistake of moving the Sixth Seal from its proper place in Revelation. It will be the next Prophesied event.

The Great Tribulation will start with the AoD in the new Temple. But the Sixth Seal in not part of the GT.
You make the bad mistake of moving the Sixth Seal from its proper place in Revelation. It will be the next Prophesied event.
keras, you have Matthew 24:29 taking place before Matthew 24:15. That is the wrong chronological order.

LOL. No, they are not. You are trying to create a new definition for the word generation that doesn't exist. Do me a favor and look up the definitions of the Greek word "genea" that the English word "generation" is translated from and look up the English definitions of the word "generation" as well. You will find that NONE of them refer to the life span of human beings. Yet, that is what you're trying to tell me the word means. Nonsense. You are a very dishonest person as evidenced by your dishonest attempts to change scripture.
It is not just "generation" in Matthew 24:34. It is "this generation shall not pass". A generation does not pass, until the life expectancy is over.

Have you never heard it said - that someone's relative "passed away" ? It means that they died, their life span, over.

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

I am not wrong, the Day of the Lords wrath is before the AoD.
That is the sequence as Written in Revelation and your misplacement of the Sixth Seal is error and confusion.

Matthew 24:29 refers to the Great Tribulation of the 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls.

keras, we agree that the Great Tribulation involves the 7 Trumpets and 7 Bows. I am not saying that is what makes your scenario incorrect.

What makes your scenario incorrect is that you are having the Matthew 24:29 begin before the abomination of desolation in Matthew 24:15.

Here is what Matthew 24:29 says....

29 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:

Isn't that what it says in the sixth seal ?

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

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.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
