Lu:13:6: He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

Lu:13:7: Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

Lu:13:8: And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

Lu:13:9: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

According to Daniel Matson’s “Signs of the End” the possible start of Ezekiel’s War is the 17th of Heshvan (November 6, 2006), which is also “exactly 40 360-day years from 6/7/67” – (the 6 day war).  Exactly 4 years later on November 8, 2010 (Kislev 1) the Tribulation starts.  Is it possible that this in-between time is what the parable is referring to?

Further, if the Rapture occurs this Feast of Trumpets then the U.S.A will be in no position to stop the antagonist countries Gog, Persia, etc.  Israel will be completely dependent on God.  The counter measures will be proffered not by man.

Of course, like many of the Doves, I am not dogmatic about this possible scenario and am open to further interpretation and elucidation.
