What is the Reason Christ Told us to Learn
"The Parable of the Fig Tree"?
Revelation,
the 6th
Seal!
The seals of revelation,
remember,
unlock, i.e. give access to the knowledge (His Word) that is necessary
for one to have stored in his/her forehead in order to remain a
"virgin"
until the true Bridegroom comes at the sound of the 7th
Trump, the
final
trump.
When both Messiahs return (the false first at the sixth trump
and then the real Christ at the seventh trump) they bring "stars of heaven" with them.
This should not be mysterious
sounding
to anyone who has studied Revelation with us up to this point, because
we learned in the first chapter what "stars" are symbolic of: us, they are
angels, i.e. we sons of God.
"The parable of the Fig Tree" therefore, gives us our guide as to what to watch for;
Telling us when this season is upon us, i.e. when to anticipate Christ will soon return and how long before that, will it be when Satan shows up here on earth claiming he is God.
If you're waiting for your
wedding day to
be married to your
fiancée, the Bridegroom, Jesus,
then don't go crawling in bed and losing
your virginity to someone else.
Paul's analogy is to the spiritual
seduction evidenced
by verse 3.
2 Cor.
11:3
But I fear,
lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so
your minds should be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ.
So Mark 13:17 should be a
"no brainer"
also. Christ
is simply
saying that when He returns, at the seventh trump, to take His virgin bride,
i.e. pro-claiming Christian bride, and finds she is
already spiritually nursing
a baby, Satan's spiritual baby, guess what?
He knows she's already "been
had" by the spurious messiah!
She has been SEDUCED. "Woe unto them"
means He's really angry. Let's
use
a figure of speech,"He's not a happy camper!"
How would you
feel?
Mark 13:18
And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
Don't be taken out of season!
Harvest time
is NOT in the
winter!
Wait on the Lord, the true one not the fake!
[19]
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the
beginning
of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
The word "affliction"
means "tribulation".
Here is part of
the key to understanding the 6th seal.
When the son of perdition
stands
in the Holy Place showing
great signs and wonders, performing miracles
in the sight of men, deceiving the whole world
into believing he's
Jesus
Christ, that THAT
time will be the greatest "tribulation" of all
time.
[20]
And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be
saved:
but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the
days.
In fact, Satan is sooooooo good at
deception that Christ
has rescheduled this actor's 3 1/2 year personal appearance and
performance
as "The
Messiah is Here" soon to be playing in the
Temple,
to a shorter run,
the length of which we will learn in chapter 9.
[21]
And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is
there; believe him not:
So, if someone tells you
Jesus has
returned,
just perform the "pinch test".
Pinch yourself
really hard with your
sharpest
fingernails (if you've chewed
them off, use your teeth), and if you
draw
blood,
BELIEVE HIM NOT. Say to
him "That's really
something isn't it,
er..
I'm bleeding... look
see... would you excuse me? Do
you know where I
can
find a Band-Aid?"
You see, when the true Messiah returns we who
are
alive
and remain will instantly, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at
the snap of a finger, be
changed from our flesh bodies into our
spiritual
bodies.
Have you not read of this "mystery" by
Paul in 1 Cor.
15?
The flesh age ends
when Christ returns.
[22]
For
false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and
wonders,
to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
When Satan is kicked out of
heaven in
Revelation 12:7-9 and
comes to earth as the false messiah, you'll read that his angels are
cast
out with him. These guys are really good too! These are the
same
fallen angels that seduced the daughters of Adam in Gen. chapter
6.
We just
read that they are coming to SEDUCE again. How
do we know? It's
recorded in Matthew's account in chapter 24 concerning this same seal.
These are the words of Jesus Christ:
Matthew
24:37
But
as the days
of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
It's going to be just like it was in
the
days of Noe (Greek
for Noah). What were they doing back then?
[38]
For
as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into
the
ark,
Who
was doing the seducing? The sons of
God, the fallen
angels
who left their first
habitation, i.e. their heavenly abode (see
Jude),
and came to earth and seduced the daughters of Adam, the union of which
produced giants and for this
reason God flooded the land in Noah's day
to rid the land of these hybrids.
Live
Link to-
Just as it was in the days
of Noah!
[39]
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall
also
the coming of the Son of man be.
They were unaware of the impending
flood
about to sweep them
away and so they WERE TAKEN in the flood.
[40]
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other
left.
This up and coming seduction by Satan's
fallen angels will not be "physical seduction" as it was is Noah's day; It will be the "spiritual seduction" of your minds with Satan's lies about who the real Christ is
or should I say, is not!
And so just as it was in the
days of Noah,
those who are
unaware WILL BE TAKEN in the flood of lies and be seduced and
impregnated
with deception. There is absolutely no
other way to interpret what is
being
said here unless you pluck these verses out of context and twist them
to
appear to say something they don't.
That
is how Satan, the illusionist,
"un-rightly"
divides the Word of God.
Note: Many
ignorant and the unlearned preachers, believe, and teach us,
that the first one taken is raptured by Jesus Christ.
They along with their entire
congregations are going to get screwed and
lose their virginity! Too graphic? I think not! Eternal life is at
stake
here!
[41]
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and
the
other left.
All
were taken except Noah, his wife, his 3 sons and their wives.
Just like it was in the
days of Noah! We
are without excuse!
How so? Remember Christ's words
back in Mark 13:23? He told us
everything,
exactly how it is going to be!
Mark
13:23 But take ye heed:
behold, I have foretold
you all things.
We are now ready to return
to verse 12 of
Revelation chapter
6 and begin the 6th Seal.
I know we are spending
considerable time on
chapter
6 and each of the seals, but when you think about their importance and
the fact that you must have this knowledge
"sealed" in your mind so as
not to be taken in the flood, then a little extra careful "dividing" is
more than justified.
What is it that Jesus Christ would have
us learn
from
the 6th Seal? For one thing, there are TWO TRIBULATIONS! We'll find out more
as we continue in this Book of Revelation!
When is the last time you heard your
preacher or
minister,
or for that matter anybody else's preacher or minister, talk about the
Two Messiahs? Who has told you that there are Two Jesus Christs? Who
has
told you how to tell the Two Jesus Christs apart, from one
another?
And who has told you that there are TWO TRIBULATIONS? In other words,
who
has explained the 6th Seal to you?
Have you ever observed how the cause of
the
tribulation
is always portrayed as some human flesh "man" who is "probably" alive
right
now on earth somewhere and is just waiting to be revealed? "Guesses" by
the unlearned (those who don't know what the Bible teaches and guess at
what it says) include figures such as Saddam Hussein, the Pope, the
President,
or some Jew living in Israel, and on and on and on!
Would you like to
see
deception at work?
Just go into a religious book store and see all the
books written about the tribulation! Babel, Babel, which means
Confusion,
Confusion! Satan, the rider of the white horse in Seal 1, just loves
it!
You can bet he gives his horse an "apple" for a treat every time
someone
buys that trot!
That which we MUST LEARN from the 6th
Seal is that
there
are Two Tribulations and we MUST KNOW not only what they entail but the
sequential order in which they occur. And it is very simple:
There
is the tribulation of Satan when he comes to earth first as the
false-christ
and it is followed by the tribulation of Christ, the wrath of Almighty God.
We read much about the tribulation of
Satan, the
"seduction"
as in the days of Noah, the consuming flood that takes those (first
ones)
who are unaware (have not the seal of God in their foreheads), etc.
We
shall read much more about this period of time before we finish this
great
Book of Revelation and about the spiritual devastation it (which is
actually a time of peace) brings upon the souls of men, the likes of which can only be
compared
to the slaughter of warfare and the consuming of flesh by beasts.
Let us now examine the 6th Seal,
unveiled by the
Lamb
of God, taking verses 12 and 13 together as they complete a sentence.
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.
When both Messiahs return (the false first at the sixth trump
and then the real Christ at the seventh trump) they bring "stars of heaven" with them.
This should not be mysterious
sounding
to anyone who has studied Revelation with us up to this point, because
we learned in the first chapter what "stars" are symbolic of: us, they are
angels, i.e. we sons of God. We know Jesus brings the saints with Him (1
Thes.
4) when He returns.
When Satan is cast out of heaven in Rev. 12:7-9 to
this
earth, his angels are also cast out with him.
So he brings "stars" too!
Rev.
12:9 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.
Now notice in 6:13 that they are cast out
as a fig tree casts
her "untimely" figs when violently shaken. Untimely figs are figs out
of
season, i.e. not ripe. Remember, we read that Christ said "pray that
your
flight be not in winter", out of season. These stars, angels of Satan,
appear out of season, BEFORE harvest time which is when Christ returns.
Be sure you're not deceived and "harvested" by them, at the 6th
Seal
Now, what about the sun becoming darkened as
sackcloth
of hair? Doesn't the sun darken when Jesus returns? Yes it does, but by
reason of His brightness, not like black sackcloth of mohair.
Here's
how
the sun darkens by the false Jesus:
Rev.
9:1-2
And the fifth
angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to
him was given the key of the bottomless pit. [2]
And
he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit,
as
the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by
reason of the smoke of the pit.
I know we haven't covered the symbolisms
contained in this
verse yet, but simply notice that the sun is darkened by reason of the
"smoke of the pit".
Let's look again at verse 12.
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;
The phrase "the moon became as blood"
means that the whole,
or full moon became as the color of blood. (See note on "moon" in verse
12 of the Companion Bible)

Now let's continue with the 6th Seal. But first we'll repeat verses 12 and 13.
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.
Rev.
6:14 And the heaven
departed as a scroll when
it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of
their places.
This is the beginning of the birth of a
new age which signals
the return of the true Messiah, the second advent.
[15]
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and
the
chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free
man,
hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Do you know why these people from every
walk of life want
to hide themselves?
It is for the shame of realizing they've been
seduced
and even caused others to be "had" likewise!
We have an expression in
English
that aptly describes this, they will have "Hit Rock Bottom"!
[16]
And
said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face
of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
"Hide us from the shame and embarrassment!
I'd rather die
than face Him!" People just don't want to face reality, do they?
Well
guess
what? He's real!
[17]
For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
The second tribulation is come!
That's
enough!
The question
is ... "Who shall be able to stand?"
And the answer is... Those who have endured, until the end, with
patience
and maintained their virginity by wearing the full suit of gospel armor
(Eph 6) and have 'stood against the fiery darts of Satan'. Yes, they
will
still be standing. The rest will have fallen short in ignorance and
deception
and missed the 1st Resurrection and the double portion of inheritance
that
comes with it. Don't let that happen to you. Learn the Seals and then
unroll
the Scroll.
Let us now finish the 6th Seal as Christ gave it
in the
Book of Mark, chapter 13.
Mark
13:24 But in those
days, after that tribulation,
the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
[25]
And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven
shall
be shaken.
Untimely figs shall be shaken out. The
only time the "powers
of heaven" are shaken is when Satan and his cronies are booted out.
Then
there is silence in heaven (Rev. 8:1), but woe to those on earth when
he
comes.
Rev.
12:12
Therefore rejoice,
ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the
earth
and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great
wrath,
because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Continuing in Mark 13.
Mark
13:26 And then shall
they see the Son of man
coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
And THEN (AFTER), after the tribulation of
Satan when he
comes as the spurious messiah
and NOT BEFORE, they shall see the Son of
man coming in the clouds with GREAT power and glory. (Ooops, another
puncture
in the Rapture Balloon.)
[27]
And then shall He send his angels, and shall gather together his elect
from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the
uttermost
part of heaven.
[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:
If you don't want to be harvested out of
season then you
better do as the Savior instructs: Learn
the parable of the Fig Tree.
[29]
So
ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know
that
it is nigh, even at the doors.
If you're educated in the Word of God and
you see these things
come to pass, then you will know what's happening! No guesswork!
But here is the bottom line:
If you don't
know ahead of time that the False
Messiah is coming first; if you believe Jesus Christ can return at any
moment; if you don't have the Seal of God in your forehead, then it
will
be next to impossible to convince you that the First Rider of a White
Horse,
when he appears in person, is not Jesus Christ. For he/Satan is most charming
and beautiful (see Ezekiel chapter 28) and he will bring peace and prosperity to the world and
he
will perform great signs and miracles in the sight of men and his
ministers,
appearing as angels of light, will be sweet as pie as they seduce you.
When will all this happen?
[30]
Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all
these
things be done.
The generation referred to here is the
generation pertaining
to the subject being discussed, i.e. the Fig Tree. When you learn the
parable
you will find that both the good and the bad figs (Jer. 24) were set
out
on May 15, 1948 when the United Nations sanctioned the State of Israel.
So there will be those of the Baby Boomer
generation (which
officially began in 1946) who will see the return of Jesus Christ.
[31]
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
You can count on it! And isn't it
incredible to know that
the "Word of God" has now been declassified, no longer under seal,
available
to understand clearly to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear?
Isn't
that wonderful? It's all there in the "Book of Revelation" for all of us to now read with understanding!
In Revelation chapters 1 through
3 Christ took the apostle John, in
the spirit, 2000
years into the future to this 21st. century,
and showed him
what
is/will be happening on EARTH
and in the seven "END
of TIME" churches on the day of Lord, the first day of the
Millennium,
a time even yet
future, but very, very near since
we are already 66 years
into the "Fig
Tree" generation.

Please keep in mind as you read
these accounts in Revelation that our Lord took
John spiritually into
the future (this
is prophecy) and many of these events that
he describes haven't happened,
as yet, in real time even though John has seen them.
Now we are going to read The seven SEALS of Christ's
Revelation
and "see" what He showed John is/will be
happening in
HEAVEN
at this same time.
We are going to actually see the
throne of Almighty
God and what is
transpiring beyond the veil that separates the two dimensions,
flesh and spirit, "behind the scenes" so to speak.

God

I compare some of our most popular new versions of the Bible to the
original 1611 King James Bible it is shocking what I've found. Many of
them published since the 1970s

In chapter 14 we saw what will be
happening on earth at Christ's
return. Now in chapter 15 we are going to see what will be happening
from
the
vantage point of heaven at that same time. In chapter 16 we see the 7
Vials
containing the wrath
of God pours out upon those who had/will have the mark of the beast in
their
foreheads
(minds) and who worshipped Satan, the false messiah, as Jesus Christ.

In chapter 16 we saw the 7 Vials
containing the wrath
of God to be poured out upon those who had the mark of the beast in

We
will now see one of those 7 angels who poured out the vials
come and
give
us a "close
up" view of the judgment of the "Great Whore".
Maybe
we
should
update the terminology a little and call her the "Great Slut"
because
the
Holy Spirit wants us
to get a real good PICTURE of exactly how He looks
upon the false religious
system that spews forth from of our churches, that great city
where
the "son of
perdition" will sit claiming that he is God (2 Thes.
2).
Also, be it
known that our Father deals in reality, so if the
terminology
used here is offensive then one can always go to a church where they
only
teach nice things like cute little bunny rabbits and Ishtar eggs, real
Biblical gems.
Live Link to- Revelation chapters 17, 18 and 19
We
come now to the 20th chapter
of Revelation at which
point the 7th Trump has sounded and the true Jesus Christ has returned
with great power and glory, bringing with Him His army of saints.
Babylon
the Great, i.e. the one world political system and the great whore
along
with Satan's role as the false-christ, the spurious messiah, has been
destroyed
forever and ever.
And as we learned in our chapter 19, ALL flesh has
been
"changed" and everyone, both the good and the bad are in their
spiritual
bodies.
So it is the first day of the
Millennium and John, who
remember in Rev. 1:16 was taken there for an eye witness account, gives
us another advanced news report, this time concerning the fate of Satan
during the Millennium. Can't
you just visualize the headlines?
THE MILLENNIUM
PRESS
First Edition
"SATAN
IMPRISONED, BEGINS SERVING
1000 YEAR SENTENCE"
John,
the disciple whom Jesus loved,
was present today as Michael came down from heaven and appeared on
Satan's
doorstep with a warrant from the King of kings for his arrest.
Satan has been residing in the temple for the last 5 months
(ever since Michael cast him from heaven) where he has been
impersonating
Jesus Christ and claiming he is the Messiah come. He also is being held
responsible for orchestrating the murder of God's two witnesses, a
despicable
crime, which he has been actually celebrating with his cronies for the
last 3 1/2 days
When Christ returns, Woe to any one He finds spiritually nursing Satan's Baby!
You
see, the temple Christ will destroy at His return, is that false temple
that exists in the heart of many/most pro-claiming Christians
(Religion), that they've allowed Satan, "The Rider of the First White
Horse" to built there; With the help of the strangers, i.e. kenites, who
helped him build it (666), crushing all those little stones, not
leaving one atop another!
Only
those pro-claiming Christians with "The Seal of God" firmly planted in
there mind will know it is the false-christ, i.e. the spurious messiah,
not the true Christ sitting there in their heart!
To study the Bible is the noblest of all
pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with
the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
