One of the prophetic Scriptures most poured over by those who hold the pre-Millennial, pre-Trib view of eschatology is the following.<\/p>\n
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near,\u00a0even\u00a0at the doors.\u00a0Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.\u00a0Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matthew 24:32-35)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Despite the fact that the seminaries more often than not teach that Jesus, in the Olivet Discourse, addresses only the Jews (Israel), many, including this writer, believe Jesus is speaking not just to Israel. He is speaking here to all, Jews and Gentiles alike, who will accept Christ for salvation down through the ages.<\/p>\n
Although there are differences of opinion in precisely what the prophecy means, most agree that the\u00a0fig tree in Scripture\u00a0<\/em>refers most often to the nation Israel.<\/p>\n
This prophecy, given by the Lord Himself, is thought by many to be among the strongest scriptural reasons to believe that this present generation will experience Christ\u2019s return to planet earth. Israel, as is said, is God\u2019s\u00a0prophetic timepiece.\u00a0<\/em>The view holds that this generation will see the prophecy\u00a0 fulfilled within the definitive timeline framed by Israel being back in the land God gave them.<\/p>\n
Certainly, recent history, in combination with current events, seems to present a strong case that gives this view credibility.<\/p>\n
That case is built upon the following:<\/p>\n
1) The Bible gives\u00a0the definition of a generation as 70 years.<\/p>\n
2) The nation Israel was reborn\u2013in a single day, as prophesied\u2013in 1948.<\/p>\n
3) We are in the year 2018\u201370 years since Israel came back into the land as a nation following World War II.<\/p>\n
4) America is scheduled to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, letting all the world know that we consider Jerusalem the Jewish state\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n
5) This is scheduled to happen\u00a0May 14, the exact\u00a0anniversary of the month and day of Israel\u2019s rebirth into modernity.<\/p>\n
These factors are not all to consider in thinking on Jesus\u2019 prophecy. There is strong reason to believe that this foretelling speaks clearly to a\u00a0pre-Tribulation Rapture, admittedly\u00a0the view held today by fewer and fewer pastors and professing Christians.<\/p>\n
The Lord next said the following:<\/p>\n
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. (Matthew 24:36)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Jesus is here talking of a specific day and hour that no one will know. It will be an unannounced event, so far as timing is concerned. This cannot be the Second Advent when Christ returns as given in Revelation\u00a019:11. There are precise number of days when that great event will take place, as measured from the midway point of the 7-year Tribulation. This unknown day and hour Jesus talks about is, rather, the first phase of His Second Coming\u2013the Rapture of the Church!<\/p>\n
Immediately after Jesus talked about the generation that would see all the prophecies fulfilled, He spoke of the human condition that will be prevalent at the time of His return. In fact, He spoke of several conditions that will mark that last generation before the first phase of His Second Coming.<\/p>\n
We have been over these conditions many times over the past number of years. I refer to Christ\u2019s \u201cdays of Noah, days of Lot\u201d prophecy.<\/p>\n
The Lord spoke with precision as to what that generation will be doing with regard to carrying on life in general. This is all outlined immediately following Him saying that no man knows the day or hour when His next intervention will take place into the affairs of mankind.<\/p>\n
Read again Matthew 24:36-42 and Luke 17: 26-30 to understand the time of His sudden, catastrophic intervention into life on earth.<\/p>\n
My contention has been for many years that this time when he suddenly comes for His Church will be in the middle of an economic boom. Economists and others have for years been predicting an economic downturn\u2013even another Great Depression. And, admittedly, by all\u00a0fiscal principles one can bring forth from economic physics, the world should have long ago fallen into depression.<\/p>\n
Then came Trump. He came out of the prayers of those called by the Name of Jesus Christ, who implored the Lord to act leading up to the 2016 presidential election. The\u00a0miracle occurred. The nation was given, as I\u2019ve said before, not a godly man, but without a doubt\u2013in my mind at least\u2013God\u2019s man for the hour, a\u00a0<\/em>president who has put in place policies and structure for a profound economic uptick.<\/p>\n
All of this appears to be God\u2019s preparation for bringing this generation to very near the moment of Christ\u2019s shout: \u201cCome up here!\u201d (Revelation 4:1)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
