Fig Tree Generation Cut-off Point Nearly Reached?

I remarked on an earlier post that I have my own personal prophecy sign growing right on my balcony. I still have that fig tree, and it's back on the balcony now, having spent the last year in the back garden.

I returned from a 1 week vacation a few days ago and found that the last remaining couple of leaves on the tree had gone, probably eaten by a bush turkey or possum, which somehow found its way through the netting protecting the tree in its pot.

So today I did once again what I did 2 years ago, and replenished the pot with new potting mix fortified with worm castings from our worm farm, in the hope that somehow it will survive this latest catastrophe and put forth leaves again.

So what am I referring to in the title of this post? What is the fig tree generation cut off point?
I have pasted below 2 Bible passages and I want you to spot the word which is common to both passages.

Luke 13:6-9

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
6 He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?’ 8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9 And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.’

Psalm 90:10

10 The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

That's right, the word is CUT. So what is the connection between these 2 passages? The linking passage is in Matthew 24:

Matthew 24:32-34

The Parable of the Fig Tree
32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.

So, back to my fig tree. It's nearly spring in Australia as I write this so it's probably a little early to expect leaves to start sprouting, but in Israel it's late summer, so any fig trees over there will be fully in leaf, and probably fruiting if they are any good.

But Jesus was speaking in parables, and He was talking about the spiritual health of His nation, the health of their relationship with God, and therefore their relationship and response to His son, the man who came as God incarnate to this planet over 2000 years ago.

It's been over 73 years since the modern state of Israel came into being, and it's been a rocky road, but the nation has flourished (put forth leaves), however they still as a whole have not accepted their Messiah (borne fruit).

I have posted below a short video from a Messianic outreach ministry in Israel which has been getting a good online response from a lot of people in Israel, and yet still the majority have not openly accepted Christ, and the religious leadership actively oppose Christ, just as they did in Jesus' day.

So how long can this situation go on? Will God just let this generation continue for ever, when the fig tree is clearly not bearing fruit? Here's where the barren fig tree prophecy in Luke 13 comes into play. I have posted below a video uploaded by Deborah of the Speaking Truth in Love YouTube channel on August 6 in response to a comment I made on a previous video about the fig tree generation cut off point.

I believe that cut off point could be the rapture, and if so we have about a month, or possibly less, if in fact we go by 4 years according to the Jewish calendar, in which case we only have a couple of weeks.

As I have stated in the past, I am not dogmatic about rapture dates, as many predicted dates in the past, by myself and others, have come and gone, so this is all conjecture and observation, as we read the Bible, and observe the state of the world, and wonder how much worse things can get.

How long we can continue in the downwards spiral as the world slowly turns away from the truth of the gospel and tries to solve problems in its own way? It is my belief that God will step in at the right time and snatch away those who have believed the gospel, while leaving behind those who have resorted to violence (doing things their own way, and not in obedience to God). Just as it was in the days of Noah, as Jesus prophesied:

Matthew 24:37

37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Genesis 6:13

13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

To see how the spectre of violence is playing out in the country of Afghanistan, watch another video from One For Israel: (actually it's an audio podcast)
