THE BUDDING CROSS
INTRODUCTION
A fig tree loses its leaves in autumn and during the winter it looks like the tree has died. Such is the situation with Christianity. The Christian Figtree was a stunning picture of blossoms when the Church started off on Pentecost nearly 2000years ago.
However, after a small yield of some early figs, even before summer could set in, autumn returned to the Church as the false teachings started to wrap this Body of Jesus Christ in a burial shroud. When the ancient Roman Church usurped the Church as early as the 1st Century, it was indeed a very harsh winter that descended upon the Church and with it, spiritual Death, with the only sign of life “a form of godliness but denying its power…” (2Tim.3:5)
The Apostle Paul was completely taken aback by the situation in the Church: “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel…” (Gal.1:6) Shame! It seems like Christ died in vain for the Church… that time was rolled back instead of the gravestone, that Jesus Christ was still nailed to the cross as the Roman Catholic crucifix so sadly depicts, that the belief in the Resurrection became just lip devotion in the Apostles Creed. Once again, the words, not unlike the first line of Psalm 22, reverberates throughout the Christian world: “My Flock, My Flock, why hast thou forsaken me?”
The scoffers and the atheists had a field day over the past nearly 2000 years: “… there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, where is the promise of his coming?” (2Pet.3:3-4) However, the mockers will not laugh last! Spring is in the air!
“Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and put 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.” (Mat 24:32-35)
Yes, spring, “the time when kings go off to war,” (2Sam.11:1) has finally sprung for Christianity on the very day that Vladimir Putin went off to war against Ukraine, in the coming to pass of the prophetical enactment of the battle between David and Goliath (1Sam.17) right here on our watch. The Cross that became a symbol of the death of Christ will soon blossom like the staff of Aaron (Lev.17:8; Heb.9:4) and become the sign of His Resurrection in the Church, when the two End time Witnesses of Revelations 11 steps out of the pages of the Bible and on to the world stage.
I invite you to join me in connecting the dots of Bible End time prophecy, but I must warn you that it’s a bumpy ride on uncharted waters with the Bible-GPS our only Guide through this murky and turbulent times of the end. On the 24th of February 2023, the anniversary of the War in Ukraine, I aim to publish a book laying bare these secrets that will soon rock the world’s very foundations. In the meantime, I will publish some excerpts every Wednesday, starting on the 25th of January 2023.
