Fig Tree in Leaf?

I grew up like most folks of my era with the traditions of man being taught as the Truth of G-d.  In the past twenty years after really following Messiah and seeking YHWH, much of what I once believed has fallen away.  One of the real enigmas in my seeking and unlearning has been the parable of the fig tree as representative of Israel.  An olive tree is more recognized as the representation of Israel, with James even making the point of an absolute difference.  Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs?. . .  James 3:12a


This was about six or seven years ago, in researching the Threshold of Technocracy that I began to question the validity of what I'd been taught about the establishment of Israel.  James makes the point of separating figs from both terms that have been recognized and used to represent G-d's people.  I went back to Genesis 3, and realized fig leaves were mentioned quite early on, as "man's solution."  Adam and Eve used fig leaves to cover shame, as a result of disobedience.   A third temple construction is planned, but according to prophecy, it will be planned by the nations . . . Even if it's done religiously, it's still "man's plan."  The Revelation states the Holy City will be trampled.  The Temple Mount is already under occupation.  I was refused access in 2004 on a Holy Day, at gunpoint.  Obviously, I didn't push the issue, as the Temple Mount is the site of the Al Aqsa Mosque, at this time.  Although Islam shouts about their right to Jerusalem, even in Jerusalem, they face Mecca when they pray . . .

I absolutely believe democratic Israel has a right to exist right where she is, and know this establishment of Israel is a sign of the end of days.  I openly support Israel and greatly admire Benjamin Netanyahu, but I do not believe this is the official return to the land as prophesied.  Since it obviously figures into end time events, I've wondered for these past years, what difference does it make whether G-d brings Israel back to the land supernaturally or uses the UN?  Further end time events make the difference . . .

The World government will have a world religion, and the only place the three Abrahamic religions will truly recognize as the City for this, is Jerusalem.  Catholicism reveres the Vatican, but the Vatican lays claim to a certain authority of Jerusalem as the "voice" of Christianity, and there is a Protestant move back to Catholicism.  Islam is claiming Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine, but their holy city is Mecca.  Democratic Israel has already openly stated both Christianity and Islam are welcome alongside Judaism.

Granted these things will come to pass, but we need to make very sure we know which side of the chasm we are standing when the prophecy is fulfilled.  The remnant will not be approved by the New World Religion and the two witnesses will not speak from the man made temple.  Just as Y'hshuwah was put to death by the government on the say of religious witnesses, the remnant will face the same.  The coming "International Interfaith Temple" will be man's solution . . . the fig tree in leaf.

Matthew 24:32  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:  So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.  But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
