THE SIGN OF THE FIG TREE

Most bible scholars think that Jesus was speaking to the Jewish people in Luke 21:29, ..."Behold the fig tree and all the trees..".. these disciples at the time the only church Jesus had; but , he was giving the church a sign to watch for. Remember Mark 13:13 " Take ye heed, watch and pray:..."But let us go back for the reason for this statement. The disciples ask Jesus a question, " what will be the sign of thy coming and the end of the world." Matt. 24:3 . Jesus' answer, was to warn them of all the coming events that would transpire at the end of the world... or as some say ,the end time. Jesus informs them that there will be false Christs ,rumors of wars, wars; earthquakes, famines, troubles, this is the beginning of sorrows... we want to think that this has ready come to pass, and we won't have to face any of this; but this is written to the church at the end1 Not at the end of the jewish dispensation, when the time of grace is put in to place. Remember the question the disciples ask Jesus ; when will the end be? ...Now here is the sorrows. the earthquake ,Isaiah 13:13...that will move the heaven and earth out of her place...The sun, moon, and stars will not shine for a third part of the day,,, Rev. 8:10-12. It is so massive that other earthquakes will follow. Scientists refure to these lesser earthquakes as tremors . This shaking of the heavens is, the sign of the coming of the Son of Man ; Luke 21:26-27 WE NEED NOT LOOK FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT, Hebrewa 12:26.." I SHAKE NOT THE EARTH ONLY BUT, THE HEAVENS." Mens Hearts will fail them for fear,: Luke 21:26. These are some of the most powerful , and fearful statements that Jesus made while on earth. The sun moon and stars will look different. Joel 2:31... The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,"... The famine that follows this event, will like no other that's ever been. We have never been hungry, or thirsty ; but we will because of these events. A third part of the sea will be turn into blood, Rev. 8:10-12. the fresh water will be wormwood ; we will be thirsty. The pestilences; the bugs, and creeping will ravage this earth, and sting men,; Rev,9:6...There is no other event in history of man, that has ever been like this, or ever will be again . The sad part is that most people have gotten cold, Matt. 24:12 . We are no longer looking for the son of man to come as the disciples were. We are looking for a way out of here with, no sorrow, no pain, no suffering, no trouble, no discomfort,... it would be nice if it would work that way. But Jesus warned the church; His church that this is the way it would be... the sorrows he warned us of is all there in the scriptures.; This is the time of the fig tree blooming, and what follows will not be an easy time. Look around you , , you can see it happening. How long will it be before the sorrows starts, how long before the earthquake? I don't know! One last word on this ... Luke 21:14 ..." Settle it in your heart,"... We must settle it in our hearts to be prepared as Jesus warns. WE WILL NOT TSAKE ANYTHING WITH US... WE WILL FLEE FROM THE PLACES WE RESIDE ... These days will be the day of the LORDS VENGENACE Luke 21:22... If your not ready, get ready that's the only way to prepare...
