What about your Temple? Oh, not just the building you assemble in on Sunday, but what about your inner man, the temple of God? Is it a place that God is the priority and He can work through you? Or are you the type going through life just networking and increasing your own profit? Are you merely trying to benefit from the needs of others? Has Jesus looked at you and wept because you are missing the day of your visitation? Like the fig tree, has He found you lacking and is proclaiming that you are barren?
What happens when Jesus comes to Church in your Temple?
Wow...

I most certainly did not write what you have attributed to me. I only wish I could be so eloquent, defined, insightful, intelligent and spiritual to be able to present words like that.

Thanks, rrford, for clearing up the events regarding the fig tree. I have heard others say that when the fig tree spreads it branches (Israel becomes a nation once again) it will be only one generation (80 years) until the Lord returns (1948 + 80 = 2028)
Of course, if the fig tree represents Israel, and Jesus cursed the fig tree, such that it would wither and die, then Titus was send of God to flatten the place in 70 A.D., no?
The entire fig tree representation business has always confused me. That, and the Easter bunny. It's tough to work those out.
Thanks again!
Keep thinking and keep writing.

Interesting take. Although I am not sure the fig tree that folks relate to Israel is the same one that I reference. Now, as for the Easter Bunny...

When I was a child I used to hear that 1948 + a generation preached--back then the calculation was 40 years (based on the 40 years it took the generation to die in the wilderness before a new generation possessed the promised land) we were told Jesus would come back in 1988, and prior to that 7 years of tribulation so the rapture had to be in 1980, or 1983 if you were a mid-triber. Of course when that did not happen we were preached to that a generation was 80 years.
If I am still alive in 2028--I do not expect anything to happen in that year either.
