Matthew 24 fig tree parable?

in Matthew 24 the bible says:





"“Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near"





What is it referring to when it says "you know that summer is near when the fig branches become tender and puts forth its leaves?

Matthew 24 fig tree parable?
fig tree=Israel


summer=Christ's return





we are told we don't know the hour or the day of Christ's return





But Christ in this scripture you quoted, tells us not only the arrival of the summer but the beginning of the preceding season, spring when tree shoots get tender. Tender shoots are the very earliest signs of spring and that summer is on it's way.





Spring=when Israel's shoot are tender=1948 Israel became a nation. In another part of scripture a prophet says some thing interesting . He says whoever heard of a nation being born in one day. Israel by a resolution of the league of nations did just that in 1948.





we are already well past that day


this coming May, Israel will have been a nation for 60 years.





70 years will be 2018. and 70 years is usually consider a turning point in God's time frame.





God uses a 70 year time frame with Israel several times in history like Israel's exile to Babylon.

Reply:The parable of the fig tree, according to Jesus the Christ, is the 7 seasons. There are 6 seasons in which we labor, and 1 season in which we are given rest. The 7 seasons completed are an age. It is the time when one life is past onto another, when one age is past unto another age.





Jesus the Christ came during this time of season, during the 1st Time in Times, which was the last (7th) season of the 5th age, and the first (1st) season of the 6th age, the 2nd Time in Times.





To distinquish these ages and seasons apart, Jesus called the 7th season of the 5th age the Tribulation, The 6 seasons of labor lasted 42 generations or 1680 years. The 7th season lasted 7 generations or 280 years.





Jesus called the 7th season of the 6th age the Great Tribulation, the Time of the Fig Tree. The 6 seasons of labor lasted 42 generations or 1680 years. The 7th season lasted 7 generations or 280 years.





Thus said Jesus the Christ of the 5th Age.


9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:


10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.


Rev 6:9-11 (KJV)





Thus said Jesus the Christ of the 6th Age.


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.


Rev 6:12-14 (KJV)





The Fig leave were the bombs falling from the airplanes during WWI %26amp; WWII, The heaven scroll is atomic bombs.





The Great Tribulation 60 million people were killed -- 6 million Jews, --- 620 thousand were killed in the American Civil war all in the name of Mammon in the Season of Rest, 1680 until 1960 AD, or 280 years or 7 little seasons, (7 each 40 year generations)
Reply:You need to look at all biblical references to the fig tree, in totality.





Then you need to analyze the history, see what actually happened, and work backwards, to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.





When you do that, you'll see that the fig tree does indeed represent Israel, that the apostles were given a "season" (40 years) to water and fertilize it (with the Gospel), and when the fig tree still failed to bear fruit (rejected Christ and the Gospel), it was plucked out by the roots, and burned (courtesy of the Romans, who sacked Jerusalem and burned the Temple to the ground, in the late SUMMER of 70 AD).





About the only thing the modern secular state of Israel has in common with the Israel of old, is it's continuing institutionalized persecution of Christians.
Reply:Jesus said : “Note the fig tree and all the other trees: When they are already in the bud, by observing it you know for yourselves that now the summer is near. In this way you also, when you see these things occurring, know that the kingdom of God is near.” (Luke 21:29-31) If we see one tree put out its leaves in midwinter because the weather is warm for a few days, we do not reason that summer has come, do we? But when we see all the trees budding and the days growing longer we know that summer has to be near. Likewise, when all the things that Jesus described take place, we can know for sure that Christ is on his heavenly throne and that his kingdom has, indeed, begun active rule.
Reply:The fig tree is representative of the Nation Israel. In 1948 Israel became a Nation again, this is: "The Blooming" and when Jesus talks about summer being near He is speaking of His return. So this is one way that we can know that we a closer then we have ever been to Coming of The Lord.
Reply:It's not a parable. What is so hard to understand that when a tree gets leaves that good weather is coming?
