<TITLE>22. Par -</TITLE>L-292-521 Now, the Gentiles... Now, watch. There's yet left three and a half years for these Jews. Now, Jesus said that the city of Jerusalem will be trod by the Gentiles until the Gentile dispensation (Now, you people that don't believe in dispensations, what about that?)--till the Gentile dispensation would be finished. And when the Gentile dispensation is finished (the time of the Gentiles is finished), then the city would be given back to the Jews. And Jesus went ahead to say that the generation... Said, "When you go out and see the fig tree putting forth its buds, and all the other trees budding," said, "you know that summer is nigh." Said, "Likewise when you see these things come to pass, know the time is nigh, at the door; and verily I say unto you that this generation will not pass until these things be fulfilled."

L-292-522 Now, they watched for it in that generation, "That's what He was talking about." Not at all, listen. He said, "The generation that seen the fig tree putting forth its buds." Now, watch, He said, "The fig tree, and all the other trees..." Now, in other words, there'd be a universal revival at the time. Now, watch this prophecy, how it works in and just blends in perfect.
Now, watch. "All the other trees putting forth their buds, reviving..." A tree, when it's putting forth its buds, is reviving. Is that right? Now, anyone knows, a prophetic teacher, that the fig tree has always been the Jew. We know that. It's the Jew. Now, the...

L-292-524 And look at Joel, when he took it over; he said, "What the palmerworm left, the caterpillar eat; what the caterpillar left, the locust eat; and what the locust eat..." If you notice, that's the very same insect, different stages: the palmerworm, the caterpillar, the locust. It's all the same bug; it's just different stages of its life. Now, watch, that same bug begin to eat on that Jewish tree back there, cut it down, and it begin to eat and eat and eat and eat till it took it to a stump; but then he said, "I will restore, saith the Lord, all the years that the caterpillar eat up. And I'll make My people a joy." See? Now, the tree has been eaten down. The Gentiles was grafted into it; that's true. All right, we must bring fruit.

L-293-525 Now, when the end time comes, when we're getting down to the end (if I see it right), the Gospel is there's supposed to be a great revival taking place.
Now, did you know that the Jewish flag is the oldest flag in the world? And it's been laying dormant for two thousand years, more than, yeah, about twenty-five hundred years. The Jewish flag, that six-point star of David, never flowed for twenty-five hundred years, since the carrying away of--of Babylon. And now, because the Roman Empire took them over, and the Messiah come and they rejected It, and they was scattered to the four winds of the earth. But did you know, on May the 6th, 1946, that flag come back over Jerusalem again? Did you know on May the 7th, 1946, the Angel of the Lord appeared to me (the next day) up here, and sent me into all the world to bring forth a revival, the very next morning? When that flag raised in Jerusalem, as the going down of the sun that afternoon, the Angel of the Lord appeared here in the United States at the same time. "When you see the fig tree and the rest of the trees putting forth..."
