But the prophesy Christ tells us shall come is not limited to the signs that shall usher in the coming of Christ. How is our redemption near, even at the doors? We are, or rather have been redeemed already by the blood of the Lamb. The fig tree producing life is not the sign for when Christ...

I've discovered some like to use this title "Replacement Theology" when they have not understood the nation of Israel being two separate people. The remnant according to election of grace are called Israel, they are Christian/Messianic (no difference) Jews. The rest of Israel are those who are...

Sorry! No, I certainly did not mean to give that impression! I believe the best way to rightly understand the Word of God is through each other. Iron sharpening iron! And I do appreciate what you bring to the threads even though we are not always in agreement.

I believe Jesus is contrasting "this generation" as a beginning of those who bring forth eternal life unto all the nations of the world as they proclaim the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. The fig tree, like the good olive tree representing Jews of faith, the chosen from Israel...

Now, in this age of the Gospel going into all the world through the power of the Holy Spirit is when unbelieving Jews must turn to Christ by grace through faith upon hearing the Gospel and believing in/on Christ for eternal life. No longer Jew, but Messianic Jew. A Jew who believes in Christ...

The only part in the nation of Israel that ever bears spiritual fruit for the Kingdom of God were Messianic Jews. After knowing who Christ was and that He had spiritually ushered in the Kingdom of God, those faithful Jewish saints are the first of the fruit showing the fig tree, that once...

I think what you're missing in the parable, it is about more than signs about the appearance of Christ coming again. Throughout the Discourse He speaks of what shall come to pass for disciples in every generation, beginning with those whom He was speaking to, as we faithfully proclaim the...

I never suggested the fig and olive trees meant "all" trees. I said: "There is two trees found in the New Testament that represent the spiritual Kingdom of God, the fig tree & the good olive tree." It's a simple TRUE statement that in the New Testament both the fig and GOOD olive tree are...

You're forgetting about the fact that Christ cursed the fig tree that represented the nation of Israel, saying the fig tree (nation of Israel) would never again bear fruit. You present God as being contradictive, which cannot be! Matthew 21:19 (KJV) And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he...

You're forgetting about the fact that Christ cursed the fig tree that represented the nation of Israel, saying the fig tree (nation of Israel) would never again bear fruit. You present God as being contradictive, which cannot be! Matthew 21:19 (KJV) And when he saw a fig tree in the...

There is two trees found in the New Testament that represent the spiritual Kingdom of God, the fig tree & the good olive tree. Though all the trees bring forth new growth in season, in His parable Christ makes special mention only of the "fig tree" beginning to bud as a sign the faithful Church...

All signs the Kingdom of God has come. There is another reason we know Christ came in His Kingdom, He tells us He had, by casting out devils. Christ also tells us the spiritual Kingdom of God has come, because it is within us. Matthew 12:28 (KJV) But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of...

Not sure what I may have said to give you the impression that I believe the fig tree showing signs of life will ever be only the natural or Jewish branches? It was only in the beginning of the fig tree showing life that it was Jewish Apostles, sent out by Christ that were first to take the...

Why do you place the coming of Christ with power only at His return? It's true that His second coming will not only be with power but also with great glory. That shall be because Christ came with power when He came to earth a man. And it is through this power He came with that He extends this...

When we understand the fig tree symbolizes faithful saints from every nation of the earth bearing the fruit of the Spirit, the gift of tongues does prove that salvation is not limited to Jews only, but the Gospel of salvation is now being extended unto all the Gentile nations of the earth...

Replacement Theology is a misnomer, used by those who refuse to accept that "all Israel that shall be saved" is not an ethnic people, but spiritual people that are both Jews of faith and Gentiles of faith together in the good olive tree being supported by the Root (Christ). The punishment for...

That's why Christ had to literally, physically come to give His life a ransom for sin and defeat death by His resurrection. As a Lamb slain from the foundation of the world is via promise that which was ordained in heaven before creation would not fail, but would come to pass when Christ, the...

Every living creature on the earth is a soul. Every soul has both a body and spirit. The only way for a soul to utterly perish is to be altogether without life. That happens when both the body and spirit the soul is comprised of die. There are examples of souls who have physically died being...

Thank you for this thoughtful and thorough reply. I know well your view and have even defended it, and in fact continue to defend the truth of it. There is no doubt in my mind that this evil generation shall be together with faithful believers upon this earth to the end of days. It makes...

Why would it say all the graves were opened since not all the faithful saints had died? In order for all the saints in all the graves to be opened, all the saints would have to have died, but only many of them had, so graves were opened and MANY NOT ALL bodies of the saints which slept arose...
