Hi:
> > One reason I do not believe that the fig tree
refers to the nation of Israel is from what is said in
Luke 21:29-30 (these are "red letter" words indicting that
they are interpreted to be the actual words used by Jesus
Christ)..."Behold the fig tree, and ALL the trees; (30)
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own
selves that summer is now nigh at hand:...." IF Jesus had
been referring to Israel becoming a nation again and then
gaining territory, then what about all the other trees?
To me, there is no doubt about it, the fig tree is
Israel. The other trees are other nations. Sometimes, we
must think symbolically. I will try to explain some little
known information found in the Bible that you will miss if
you cannot think symbolically. The words "like" and "as"
are symbolic language.
Hos_9:10 says, "I found ISRAEL like grapes in the
wilderness; I SAW YOUR FATHERS AS THE FIRSTRIPE IN
THE FIG TREE at her first time: but they (i.e., ISRAEL,
like grapes and as the fig tree) went to Baalpeor, and
separated themselves unto that shame; and their (i.e.,
ISRAEL'S) abominations were according as they loved."
Num_25:3 is clear. It says, "And ISRAEL joined himself
unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled
against ISRAEL."
Jdg_9:11 says, "But the fig tree (i.e., Israel)
said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good
fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees (i.e., other
nations)?"
THE SYMBOLIC ZECHARIAH 3:8-10
Try to think symbolically. Joshua represents Jesus, the
Branch. The name of Christ is JESUS from the Greek,
JOSHUA from the Hebrew. Jesus is our high priest. The fig
tree is Israel. Heaven is Saturn, with its 7 rings.
Josephus, a Pharisee priest, said that the 7 lamps on the
lampstand stood for Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
Jupiter and Saturn (the 3rd heaven Paul was caught up to).
Heb_3:1 says, "Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of
the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest
of our profession, Christ Jesus".
Heb 6:19,20 says, "Which hope we have as an anchor of
the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into
that (the Holy of Holies, i.e., into Heaven) within the
veil; 20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even
Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedec."
Zec 3:8-10 says, "Hear now, O Joshua (i.e., Jesus) THE
HIGH PRIEST, thou, and thy fellows (the 24 elders) that
sit before thee (we see them crowned and seated on thrones
in Rev 4:4): for they are men wondered at (mopheth, a
miracle, sign or wonder): for, behold, I will bring forth
my servant the BRANCH (i.e., Jesus). 9 For behold
THE STONE (i.e., Heaven, Saturn) THAT I HAVE LAID BEFORE
JOSHUA (i.e., JESUS, Eze 1:1,26-28); upon one stone (i.e.,
Saturn, the 7th lamp in the lampstand, Josephus, Ant III.
VI. 7) shall be seven eyes (orbs, i.e., seven rings):
behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD
of hosts (Jesus, Isa 44:6), and I will remove the iniquity
of that land (i.e., Heaven, Saturn, as well as Earth) in
one day (i.e., the first day of the millennial Day of the
Lord, the great and terrible Day of the Lord, the day of
the Judgment Seat of Christ in Heaven, Day of God's Wrath
on Earth). 10 In that day (i.e., the Millennium),
saith the LORD of hosts (i.e., Jesus), shall ye call every
man his neighbour under the vine (Jesus) and under the fig
tree" (Israel).
SATURN'S 7 MAIN RINGS
http://1howmany.com/how-many-rings-does-saturn-have
"Ring A is very bright and outer-lying. It has its moon
named Daphnis orbiting inside it.
Ring B is the largest and densest of all Saturn rings.
Ring C is very faint.
Ring D is located closest to Saturn and is hard to see.
Ring E is a very wide and outer-lying ring made of ice
chunks.
Ring F has the unique spiral strand around it. It is
the farthest ring from Saturn.
Ring G is situated between rings F and E. It is small
and hardly visible."
THE THRONE SCENE IN HEAVEN AFTER THE FIRST-TRUMP
RAPTURE
Rev 4:1-11 says, "After this I looked, and, behold, a
door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I
heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which
said, Come up hither (i.e., the First-Trump Rapture), and
I will shew thee things which must be hereafter (i.e.,
after the first Rapture). 2 And immediately I was
(lit., became) in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was
set in heaven (i.e., on Saturn), and one (i.e., Jesus/God)
sat on the throne. 3 And he that sat was to look
upon like a jasper (first stone in the breastplate) and a
sardine stone (last stone in the breastplate, i.e., it is
Jesus, the first and the last): and there was a rainbow
(i.e., having 7 colors, representing Saturn's 7 rings)
round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald
(Judah's stone in the breastplate, i.e., Jesus is the Lion
of the Tribe of Judah). 4 And round about the throne
were four and twenty seats (lit., thrones): and upon the
seats I saw four and twenty elders (12 patriarchs and 12
apostles of Israel, including John, both narrator and
actor in this miracle play, The Revelation of Jesus
Christ) sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on
their heads crowns of gold (i.e., awarded after the first
Rapture). 5 And out of the throne proceeded
lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were
seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are
the seven Spirits (breaths, i.e., God-breathed things) of
God (i.e., standing for the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, which Christ created). 6
And before (enopion, in the presence of) the throne (on
Saturn, Eze 1:1,26-28) there was a sea of glass (hualinos,
transparent) like unto crystal (krustallos, ice): and in
the midst of the throne (i.e., Saturn), and round about
the throne, were four beasts (flying things) full of eyes
(full orbs) before and behind (i.e., they are spheres).
7 And the first beast (a flying thing) was like a
lion (on the east, i.e., Uranus), and the second beast
like a calf (on the west, i.e., Mars), and the third beast
had a face as a man (on the south, i.e., Earth), and the
fourth beast was like a flying eagle (on the north, i.e,
Jupiter). 8 And the four beasts (i.e., also
representing the 4 directions, for the flags at the
compass points when Israel camped around the Tabernacle
had these faces) had each of them six wings about him
(i.e., they fly in the wind); and they were full of eyes
(i.e., full orbs, globes) within: and they rest not day
and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty,
which was, and is, and is to come. 9 And when those
beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on
the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 10 The
four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on
the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever,
and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and
power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy
pleasure they are and were created."
THE THRONE OF JESUS
Eze 1:1,26-28 says, "...the heavens were opened, and I
saw visions of God (i.e., Jesus Christ)...26 And
above the firmament (expanse of space) that was over their
heads (i.e., farther out in space than the 4 terrestrial
planets) was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance
of a sapphire stone (i.e., sapphire means dear to the
planet Saturn, like Mt. Sinai, from the Sanskrit Sani,
Saturn, and priya, dear): and upon the likeness of the
throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man (i.e.,
the only God/man, Jesus Christ) above upon it. 27
And I saw as the colour of amber (Saturn has amber on it),
as the appearance of fire round about within it (i.e., it
looks like a lighted lamp in the sky), from the appearance
of his loins (i.e., from the equator) even upward, and
from the appearance of his loins (from the equator) even
downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it
had brightness (i.e., Saturn's rings) round about.
28 As the appearance of the bow (7 colors in the
rainbow represent 7 rings of Saturn) that is in the cloud
in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the
brightness (i.e., Saturn's rings) round about (i.e.,
circling Saturn). This was the appearance of the likeness
of the glory of the LORD..." Heaven has a halo.
Here is a picture of what Ezekiel saw in
the sky
One of the four terrestrial planets was the Earth. Eze
1:15 says, "Now as I beheld the living creatures,
behold ONE WHEEL (i.e., orbit) UPON THE EARTH) by the
living creatures, with his four faces" (like the flaming
sword of Gen 3:24, Earth faces four directions and orbits
in four directions).
LUKE 21:28-31 says, "And when these things (i.e.,
including a tsunami, which we just had yesterday, 2-5-13,
in the Solomon Islands) begin to come to pass, then look
up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth
nigh. 29 And he spake to them a PARABLE (something
symbolic); Behold the fig tree (ISRAEL), and all the trees
(OTHER NATIONS); 30 When they now shoot forth (i.e.,
go to war), ye see and know of your own selves that summer
is now nigh at hand (the Six-Day War was June 5-10; summer
began June 21) 31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things
come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at
hand. 32 Verily I say unto you, This generation
shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled."
A generation is 48.33 years (Mt 1:17). 1967 + 48.33
years = the Feast of Trumpets, Monday, Sept 14, 2015,
probably the Day of God's Wrath.
Mat 24:32-34 says,"Now learn a PARABLE of the fig tree;
When his branch (klados, scion broken off for grafting) is
yet tender (apalos, young, i.e., no older than 19, which
Israel was in 1967), and putteth forth leaves (i.e., grew:
Sinai, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, West Bank), ye know that
summer (June 21) is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye
shall see all these things, know that it (i.e., the
First-Trump Rapture) is near, even at the doors (door is a
symbol of the 1st Rapture Rev 3:8). 34 Verily (lit.,
amen, so be it) I say unto you, This generation (i.e.,
born in 1967) shall not pass, till all these things be
fulfilled."
I think this means that the First-Trump Rapture will
take place before Sept 14, 2015, when I expect the
Last-Trump Rapture. I am hoping for Ascension Day, SUNDAY,
May 5, 2013. It will also be the Eastern Orthodox Easter.
It will probably be preceded by the Holy Fire on Saturday
at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
I think the First-Trump Rapture will take place on
SUNDAY, and the Last-Trump Rapture on MONDAY. Why? All the
apostles believed Jesus was resurrected on SUNDAY, except
Thomas. He believed 8 days later, on MONDAY. May 5, 2013
is SUNDAY. Sept 14, 2015 is MONDAY. It all fits perfectly.

Jovial, I thoroughly enjoyed both your posts today. One
was on the fig tree NOT being the land of Israel. I agree.
Included in today's postings was one I sent in with a
sermon by John Bunyon from 1688 which clearly spoke of fig
trees being believers, or those who profess to believe in
our Lord Jesus Christ. Putting forth leaves and fruit are
indications of living "trees" (believers) who are either
on the way to producing fruit (leaves) or have produced
fruit that is expected by our Lord.
One reason I do not believe that the fig tree refers to
the nation of Israel is from what is said in Luke 21:29-30
(these are "red letter" words indicting that they are
interpreted to be the actual words used by Jesus
Christ)..."Behold the fig tree, and ALL the trees; (30)
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own
selves that summer is now nigh at hand:...." IF Jesus had
been referring to Israel becom! ing a nation again and
then gaining territory, then what about all the other
trees? Does this mean that all the nations which were
present at the time of the crucifixion would return to
being those nations again? That never happened.
Trees are symbolic of people (see Mark 8:24). And it
felt so good to read your posting.
I also agree with you about "The Harbinger". I have the
book, and I have read it....and enjoyed it. But, as you
said, it is fiction containing some very thought-provoking
points and information. I am looking forward to what you
will have to say concerning America and Babylon. Nothing
anyone has said so far is "written in cement" in my mind
on the interpretation of "Mystery, Babylon". As the Bible
says, it is a mystery whose certainty is not yet known.
Jeremiah 50:12-13 seemingly points to America where it
says, "Your mother (England) shall be sore confounded; she
that bare you shall be asha! med: behold, the hindermost
of the nations (last nation to become a world power) shall
be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. (13) Because of
the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it
shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon
shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues." This
connects to Rev. 17 and 18 in their description of
end-time Babylon.
My own thoughts are in parentheses. Some say that Rome
(Vatican religious system) is Babylon, and some have other
theories. I do know that America is a nation set up to be
multicultural. This is exactly why God dispersed all the
people after the building of the Tower of Babel. We were
all supposed to stay in our own cultures. All this mixing
and mingling of different races, religions, and cultures
has caused nothing but war and strife. But, I am open to
hearing what others have to say.
I look forward to your future postings.....a! nd thanks
for the great ones today.
