Jeremiah 24:1 KJVS
“The Lord shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the Lord, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.”
After the Lord showed Jeremiah two baskets of figs that were set before the temple of the Lord, Nebuchadnezzar (the king of Babylon of old) who was a type for Satan when he will appear as the antichrist (instead of Christ) in The Middle of Daniel’s Seventieth Week, carried away captives into Babylon.
Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon in Jeremiah’s time, and Satan will appear as the last king of Babylon (confusion) during this final fig tree generation, to carry away many, especially the third of the worlds population who are Christians into his deception at the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet which will transpire in the middle of Daniel’s seventieth week.
Again, Daniel’s seventieth week was originally seven years but has been shorten for the elect’s sake (Mark Chapter 13: 20) to a five-month long hour of temptation (Revelation Chapter 9), this is known as Satan’s tribulation.
Jeremiah 24:2 KJVS
“One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.”
These two baskets of figs will be set in front of our Lord Jesus Christ upon His return at the end of Daniel’s shortend seventieth week at the Seventh Trumpet. It will be upon the true Christ return at the seventh trumpet which will transpire at the end of the five month Long hour of temptation, that Satans role of the last king of Babylon, which is his role as the false prophet, the antichrist, will be destroyed, and the good and bad figs will be gathered and seperated in front of the Son of man who is Jesus Christ.
Jeremiah 24:3 KJVS
“Then said the Lord unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.”
The good figs and the bad figs are the sheep and the goats spoken about in Matthew Chapter 25 starting at verse 31.
Matthew 25:31-33 KJVS
“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: [32] And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.”
First we will look further into the gathering of the sheep which are the the good figs in Mark Chapter 13.
Mark 13:24-27 KJVS
“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, [25] And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. [26] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. [27] And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.”
In those days after Satan’s tribulation which is again the five- month long hour of temptation (Daniel’s shorten seventieth week) we shall see the brightness of our Lord’s coming ( 2nd Thessalonians Chapter 2 verses 8 and 9) when He comes with His angels, to destroy the workings of Satan and his defiled reign that completely took over many in the middle of the five month period at the sounding of the Sixth Trumpet.
Our Lord Jesus Christ will at that time, which is sounding of the Seventh Trumpet, will send His angels which are most of the 7000 Zadok ( elect) from heaven, that have lived and died throughout the centuries and served our Lord in each of thier apointed generations. They will return with the Lord and will gather the elect that will be here on earth at that time from the four winds which is the five month long hour of temptation. They will be gathered to Jerusalem to serve in the millineal priesthood with Zadok as good figs, to bring many back to our Heavenly Father throughout the Lords Day which is 1000 years of Millineal Correction.
The elect that will be gathered from the four winds with the Zadok that return with Christ, will be the church of Philadelphia which I believe are the 232 Final Remnant from the 7000 Zadok that will be here to serve our Heavenly Father throughout the five- month period. Also, we have the church of Smyrna, that are the 144,000 who will hear our Lords voice through the church of Philadelphia when the Holy Spirit speaks through Philadelphia when they are delivered up to Satan first. The 144,000 at that time will awaken out of Satan’s confusion during the latter half of the five-month period which is the sixth trumpet to be used also by the Holy Spirit for a testimony against Satan.
Not to forget also those who will become elected together (1st Peter Chapter 5 verse 13) with the church of Philadelphia, and Smyrna, when they also awaken and come back to life (spiritually) by hearkening to what the Holy Spirit will say through the delivering up of the church of Philadelphia during the sixth trumpet. Many of them becoming chosen at that time, because they will choose to hearken to our Heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit, will most likely be delivered up also for a testimony.
Gathered from the uttermost part of earth to the uttermost part of heaven at the seventh trumpet, they all together will be consumed into one candlestick to shine as the millenial priesthood that will hold our Lords teachings to shine Those Teachings into outer darkness throughout the 1000 years which is the Lords Day, the seventh trumpet.
This is the first resurrection that the good figs will take part in upon the true Christ return. These are the thrones and those who will sit upon them spoken about in Revelation Chapter 20.
Revelation 20:1-4 KJVS
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. [2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, [3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. [4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
After Satans role of the false prophet is destroyed, Satan himself will be bound and cast into the bottomless pit for 1000 years which is the Lords Day, while those who are the good figs take part in the first resurrection. At the Seventh Trumpet, they will sit upon their thrones and will be alive spiritually to reign 1000 years with Christ, distributing His millennial teachings that will go forth from Christ who will sit in His millennial Temple.
Very important to understand, John saw the thrones and those that sat upon them and whom judgment was given to at the Seventh Trumpet, and they are as follows:
Those who were beheaded are most of the 7000 Zadok that return with Christ who have lived and died throughout the centuries that have been killed ( literally) that is to say lives that were truncated ( killed abruptly) for the witness of Jesus and the word of God. We can say they are prophets apostles, patriarchs and servants that were used to fulfill our Heavenly Fathers scriptures, and also ones throughout the generations who were also used to bring in the fullness and completeness of our Heavenly Fathers plan of salvation.
“AND which had not worshipped the beast, niether his image, niether had recieved his mark upon thier foreheads, or in thier hands.”
These I believe are the church of Philadelphia (232 very elect) final remnant from the 7000, who will remain barren from Satan’s deception throughout the entire five -month long hour of temptation, especially in that critical, latter half (two and a half months) of that five-month period when Satan as that king of fierce countenance stands in Jerusalem claiming to be Christ during the sixth trumpet.
We also have to take in account the church of Smyrna who are the 144,000 who awaken out of Satans deception when the seeds of the seal of God spring forth in their minds, and also many of those with freewill out of most if not all of the remaining five churches spoken about in Revelation Chapters 2 and 3 , who will receive the seal of God at that time by choosing to hearken to what the Holy Spirit will say through the church of Philadelphia during their delivering up.
Although deceived by receiving the mark of the beast in their foreheads (deception) and in their Right Hand which means pushing along that deception at the sixth trumpet; upon repentance, when they which are the 144,000 and whomsoever with freewill awaken during the space of that repentance before the seventh trumpet sounds, will be as though they were never deceived. Why? Well let’s look at Hebrews Chapter 8.
Hebrews 8:12 KJVS
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”
Indeed, He won’t remember their iniquity and those who are the 144,000 and whomsoever with freewill that hearken to the Holy Spirit and come out of Babylon which is Satan’s confusion before it falls (Revelation Chapter 18) at the seventh trumpet, will earn their crowns with the total 7000 Zadok, thus joining them in partaking in the first resurrection, to live, sit and judge while reigning with Christ 1000 years.
These are the good figs.
Back to Jeremiah Chapter 24, If may.
Jeremiah 24:4-5 KJVS
“Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, [5] Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.”
There will be those who will be acknowledged throughout the captivity of antichrist who are sent into the land of deception for thier own good. Sent into the fire ( so many can be purged and purified) for a testimony which can only be given to them by the Holy Spirit starting with the church of Philadelphia who will remain undefiled and unharmed by that fire, and then the church of Smyrna( 144,000) who will awaken and repent, along with many others with freewill who like Smyrna escape Satan’s confusion and are purged of their iniquity and refined before the seventh angel sounds.
In regard to the church of Philadelphia we may want to look at the children that were in the Babylonian captivity of old as an example, such as Daniel, Hananiah ( Shadrach), Mishael ( Meshach), and Azariah ( Abed-nego), which were children with no blemish ( undefiled). Also, Ezekiel who was sent to those of the captivity for us to have a prophetic understanding of the Holy Spirits testimony.
Jeremiah 24:6-7 KJVS
“For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. [7] And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord : and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.”
So it will be at the seventh trumpet when Satan’s role of the false Christ, the last king of Babylon is destroyed, and those who were sent into captivity(unharmed) and of the captivity (purged and refined) for their own good, to take part in the first death and resurrection, thus earning their Crowns with the rest of the Zadok that return with Christ at the seventh trumpet.
They will be alive spiritually, having a heart to know our Heavenly Father, to reign as good figs, not removed but planted and built as a royal priesthood (1st Peter Chapter 2 verses 1 through 10) in Christ to distribute His millennial teachings. Those teachings which will be Christ millineal correction will go forth to those vile figs that were still found in Satan’s deception upon the true Christ return.
The good figs will be planted in Jerusalem while those evil figs who offend will be removed into outer darkness to be given a chance to return to our Lord at the end of the Lords Day, acknowledged also, and to be consumed into the body of Christ that is to say to inherit the land which our Heavenly Father through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ has promised to us all, that is eternity.
Next we will focus on these vile figs as the parable of the fig tree continues.
To be continued.
