No, current Israel is not the Millennial Kingdom. The Millennium does not start until 42 months after the AoD, which is thrown into the LOF at the battle of Armageddon.
Once again, we must have different Bibles, because my Bible (KJV) doesn't say anything... about a "Millennium" being thrown into the "LOF" (lake of fire). What it does say, in Revelation 20, is that Satan, death, hell, and anyone who's name is not written in the book of life is cast into that future "lake of fire" at the end... of the "thousand years" mentioned there.''
Also, the battle of Armageddon happens on the 'day' of Christ's future return, on the 7th Vial, and right then, His "thousand years" (i.e., the Millennium) reign with His elect starts over the unsaved nations.
The fig tree is not the Millennium Kingdom.
I never said it was; you're drifting into never-never land again.
The parable of the fig tree Jesus gave is about God's promise to make the house of Judah a nation again in the holy land, and not remove them again. The nation state of Israel was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D., and the Romans scattered the Jews that were in Judea into the countries among the Gentiles. The Jews call that the Diaspora. That is what the setting out of the fig shoot and with it sprouting leaves is symbolic of, their return in 1948 to form the nation of Israel again. That happened with Jews of the "house of Judah" returning in great numbers to form that nation state of Israel today in the middle east. That parable was to be a time marker for what generation would see ALL those Signs Jesus gave in His Olivet discourse about the end of this world, including the very last Sign He gave there of His future coming and gathering of His saints.
All the things have to happen between verse 15 and 31, between the fig tree parable and the end, before the Millennial Kingdom can start. But you state the fig tree is the last parable event to happen, no?
No, you're out of sequence again. Jesus gave His parable of the fig tree after... He had covered all those Signs of the End, the last Sign He gave being His future coming. The fig tree parable He commanded us to learn, that because it shows us the generation that will see His return, and it is related to the symbolic setting out of the 'fig tree', which represents a remnant of the house of Judah (Jews), per the Jeremiah 24 prophecy of the two baskets of figs.
Jer 24:5-6
5 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
6 For I will set Mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
KJV
From verse 37 to the end of the chapter are just generic descriptions without any time references of events. It is just comparing the decades leading up to the end with other historical records.
Many claim or at least arrange their interpretations and attempt to make up their own scenarios of the years prior to the Second Coming.
By that, I can tell you really did not read it...
Matt 24:37
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
KJV
The Matthew 24:37-51 Scripture is Jesus comparing the 'day of HIS COMING to the deceived and rebellious who mocked Noah for building an ark. And then Jesus gives an analogy to the day of HIS COMING being like a thief breaking in, and the goodman of the house is to be on watch to not let the thief break in. All that is staying within the subject of His future return to gather His Church.
So are you just here to play around, or is your mind kind of drifting at times, losing focus? I'd prefer you have the latter problem, then I understand the problem you're having in keeping to the written Scriptures.
