The number #1 sign that this is the generation of the end are not these latest heavenly signs, but the establishment of the nation of Israel again after almost 1900 years of having no nation after the Romans kicked them out of the land in 70 A.D. just like Jesus said would happen because they rejected Him as Messiah when He first came.
Jesus said that the generation that saw the rebirth of Israel would not pass away until all things are fulfilled. Jesus told us that when you see the fig tree start to come out in leaf we are to know that summer is near. And what comes after summer? The fall season! Harvest time! The season of glory!
Now take a look at how the fig tree has bloomed in the last 120 years.
1. On August 29, 1897 Theodore Herzl organized the 1st zionist conference in Basel switerzerland in order to establish a Jewish state.
1897+120=2017
2. On November 2, 1917, Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour writes the Balfour declaration expressing the British government’s support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
1917+100= 2017
3. On 29 November 1947, the UN General Assembly adopted the Plan Resolution 181, which officially partitioned the land of Israel to the Jewish people.
1947+70=2017
4. On June 10, 1967 the 6 day war was over and the Jewish people recaptured their ancient capital city of Jerusalem.
1967+50=2017.
“As soon as the fig tree come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. 31So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. 32Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. 33Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” Luke 21:29-33
Jesus specifically said that the generation, which sees the fig tree come out in leaf, will not pass away until all has taken place. And guess what? every generation mentioned in the Bible converges to the year 2017.
Generations in the bible are reckoned to be:
120 years
100 years
70 years
50 years
1.Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide ina man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” Genesis 6:2
120 years ago was the 1st zionist conference
2. When God was confirming His promise to Abraham, He told Abraham about the future of his descendants in a foreign land. God told him about that time in Genesis 15:16: “And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” Here we see that the a generation is likened to 100 years. For the children of Israel were in Egypt for 400 years.
100 years ago was the Balfour declaration.
3. The psalmist in Psalm 90:10 said this about a generation: “The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.”
70 years ago was the UN resolution 181 which established the nation of Israel.
4.“You shall count seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years shall give you forty-nine years. 9Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land. 10And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his clan. 11That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines. 12For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. You may eat the produce of the field. Leviticus 25:8-12
50 years marks a jubilee, which is the year of release, where liberty is proclaimed and everyone and everything returns to their original owner. 50 years ago was the 6 day war, 50 years before the 6 day war was 1917 and the Balfour declaration. Thus here in 2017 we have another Jubilee year. And this jubilee year is said to be the 120th jubilee from creation. Again taking us back to the days of Noah and Genesis 6:2, where God said that His Spirit will not strive with man for longer than 120 years. Many equate that to also mean 120 jubilees. 120 jubilees = 6,000 years. God said that He created the world in 6 days and on the 7th day He rested. This pattern is playing out in human history. We are at the cusp of 6,000 years of human history. The 7th day is a day of rest. And that 7th day of rest is the millennial reign of Christ on earth from Jerusalem.
Whoever has ears to hear may they hear. Amen.
