The Fig Tree

Luke 21:29-31 (ESV)

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

29 And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. 31 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

Genesis 3:7 (ESV)

Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves to cover their nakedness. Israel is seen as a fig tree that did not bear the fruit of the Lord. They are the vine planted by the Lord to bear the fruit of His word, yet no fruit was found. Jesus would curse the fig tree and become the true vine, planting the seed of heaven in the soil of mankind. 

All the trees of the garden of the earth are being prepared for the coming of the Lord. The fruit of the kingdom of heaven is appearing as first fruits in the body of Christ and the bride of Christ is being fashioned.
