That was a good video Tammie and worth the watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it. Nann, that is so cool! That actually supports a theory I have had for some time now and really encourages me! Quite a few years ago when I started thinking about the “Fig tree” generation I came up with this theory: I theorized that if we are talking about a generation of people, it cannot be referring to a generation of people that were born around the same time as Israel, but it had to refer to a generation of people slightly older because in Matthew 24:33-34 where Jesus is telling this parable He says “when you SEE” implying that a generation would witness these things and be of some minimum age to actually be able to understand what they are seeing. So I got to thinking, a baby’s born in 1948 wouldn’t qualify, probably a young child would be oblivious to such an event, and I considered, I was in high school about 17 taking a contemporary issues class as an elective when I started paying attention to national and world events (funny you said your mom was 17!). So I figured the fig tree generation must be a teenager or young adult at the time that would not only see, but to some extent understand the significance of what they are seeing. So I started asking people of this age - do you remember when Israel was reborn? My grandparents who were of this generation had already passed away, but I still had a few older acquaintances. My last interview was a couple of years ago, a neighbor of mine, a WW2 vet, so he would certainly qualify - so I asked him and his wife if they remembered the rebirth of Israel and they said they really didn’t remember it making news. Disappointing. Up to this point I figured somewhere over in Israel there must be someone in their 80s or 90s that remembered when their nation was born but so far I couldn’t find anyone that I knew - so your mom is actually the FIRST that supports this “theory” of mine that there are some that actually remember Israel’s rebirth and saw it and are part of this fig tree generation as far as people are concerned! This is very encouraging and is the strongest interpretation of the fig tree generation I think. We like to speculate on the start date of the fig tree generation (hence the whole idea of this post) did it start on May 14, 1948 or did it start a little later on the next Shmitta cycle? And we may never fully know this side of heaven - but the strongest prophetic fulfillment of the words of Jesus concerning the fig tree generation is the fact that there are still some alive and remaining like your mom that actually DID SEE these thing begin to happen and are still around to see it through to the end! Looking forward to meeting you and your mom at the rapture an hearing her talk about what it was like when she was 17! A jubilee year and the 70th shemitah cycle! Very promising prospects for this year! How much if any time between the Rapture and tribulation?!!!! Springtime could be the season of our “engagement/betrothal” while Fall ushering in the Rapture!

I think someone born in the 60s would be a child of the 70s. Born in the 70s, child of the 80s............ Did anyone see this … someone did a youtube on RITA facebook and noticed WWI, WW2 and Invasion in Ukraine all have something in common … the #68 … just wondering if 68 is a meaningful number to any of you and in the Bible? B-) - Fair Use - 68 was my jersey number one year when I played football so I'm good with that! lol :mdrmdr:
