Bible Note: No hostilities intendedn OK. I'm just learning too. I do often see things in the bible when I read them and they stand out. oh, fig tree is just one, perhaps we'll at some stage get to them I do have a whole 'theory' from gen - rev, but for now we'll focus on this. I do believe Jesus' parables and miricles had far deeper meanings than is written. There is no dounbt in my mind that he was of political persuasion. The whole period of rebellion against the romans started half century years before Jesus tells the eders and pharosees he'll break the temple down and build it up again in three days. Jesus just brought it to a head. He lead but had representitive for each province. Fig tree is so prominent that it's just makes sense that they were talking about an affiliated body. There were even those not affiliated but on the same mission. To destroy Rome. Jesus however sees that by going up against them violently will be the end of Israel and urges them rather to change their hearts if they wish to survive. I'm going of track here but my point of fig tree is still my belief that it represents the pointbthat there were bodies of rebel movements. |
