In Matthew 24:32 Jesus said "when the fig tree and all the trees, shoot forth, you know summer is near." I believe Israel is that "fig tree." It shot forth(became a nation)in our own generation! The nation of Israel IS Yehweh's time clock! Watch & pray for Israel! Watch what the nations do and what how the leaders treat Israel. Watch how they turn against her... and then know Yeshua is soon to appear! He will bring in our "summer time!"
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
You know, I have always wondered about this. I have always kind of viewed the establishment of the nation of Israel as the planting of the fig tree. In turn, I have viewed the shooting forth of the branches and leaves as the expansion of its borders. I know that is probably not a popular point of view, and I've never heard anyone explain it that way before, so when I saw this post, I thought I take the time to get your opinion. Thanks.
