Hi Marilyn,
          I was thinking about this today and was reading Haggai 2:18   'Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid-consider it:
          Now this is very interesting.  The foundation of the temple was laid on that day.  The 144,000 are the living stones and are the third temple!  That is why they will be gathered up on that day, Kislev 24!!!  Then the olive tree will begin to yield fruit!
          In verse 19 it asks if the seed is still in the barn?  It mentions the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree.  I see the vine being the lost tribes, the fig tree is the nation of Israel, the olive tree as the 144000, but who is the pomegranate?  If I am not right on the others could you set me straight!
