As we are continuing on our journey of watching the Fig Tree (and the other trees), we’re going to a deeper layer of observation. We will see the fulfillment of God’s Word in prophecies about His people being scattered and the effects of their absence on the Land that is so closely connected to them.

Our journey takes us down some very difficult roads of division and destruction, antisemitism and the sword. These roads brought us to leaders who steered many to evil doctrines incorporated in church culture and evil prejudices incorporated into governmental decrees: all of them against God’s people, the Jews.

Finally, God’s triumph is clearly viewed in individuals and groups that He raises up, often in spite of opposition meant to crush them. We’ll see triumph in the return of the people of the Book back to their prophesied place as the State of Israel began to “shoot forth,” and we’ll glance into the prophetic future.
