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. |
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.
