Pamphlet 7009 From #1769-
Jesus said Learn it!
Mark 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree;...
You see, Jesus Christ told us that
we would understand the prophecies
given in Mat. 24 and Mark 13 from
observing history!
That's right!
Here is exactly what He said:
Mark 13:28
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
You see, it is by doing what Christ
commanded us in "learning" a parable from the fig tree
that we now know summer is near,
which is the time of harvest when
summer fruit is set out (Amos 8:1)
and "the end is come upon His people
Israel (Amos 8:2)".
[29] So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
That is why it is important to "watch"
and observe current events and check off the events as they come to pass,
because the generation who will
turn 65 on May 15 of 2013
shall SEE the fulfillment of all
"things" and SEE the return of Jesus Christ.
[30] Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.[31] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
That simply means that there will be "Baby Boomers" who will see the return of Jesus Christ.
You can count on it, for it is written.
I know, the insurance companies can tell us that.
A male age 65 can expect to live 14.59 more years to age 79.59.
A female age 65 can expect to live 20.14 more years to age 85.14
Hum, if the Lord delays His return too long it looks like
more woman will see Him return than men.
(Relax, we are just having a little fun!)
You "see", that old serpent, the Dragon, the Devil, Satan,
the bad fig tree from the garden,
who is also the abomination of desolation spoken of by
Jesus Christ and Daniel the prophet,
is currently being held at bay in heaven by Michael and
his angels.
However, Satan and his angelic host are soon
to be cast to this earth,
even "as a fig tree cast her untimely figs" when the
"winds blow" (Rev. 7:1-4) and she is shaken.
Here is what will soon happen:
Rev. 12:7
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Jesus Christ said the following concerning Satan in that same 13th chapter of Mark:Rev. 6:12
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.
Mark 13:14
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Wow, when we see that happen we will be really close to the final door opening when Christ returns, won't we?
You will find that the Palestinians call the day of Israel's creation "Nakba", which is to say "Great Catastrophe".
Finally, since we are instructed to "watch",
in the 64 years since the planting of the fig tree in
the land of Judea,
it has not been a very peaceful or happy place in the
Middle East, has it?
One thing we do know for sure from the Word of God,
and that is that "There will be no peace until the Prince
of Peace returns!"
And when He does, every knee shall bow!
Romans 14:11
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Isaiah 2:4
And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
"And He said unto them,
When ye
pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy
will be done, as in heaven, so in earth" (Luke 11:2).
