Yes, We lost the chance to put in a real Constitutional Conservative who would have shook up the Washington establishments, Cruz's support of Israel was unwaivering. This is more evidence that the time and the End draws nearer to our world. The fig tree stands for restored Israel. Notice the leaves of the fig trees are common on government buildings in Israel. Jesus uses the fig tree to talk about the end of the age because He meant that Israel itself would be the key sign to His return. The generation of people who see the blossoming of the fig tree, (Israel's) rebirth and establishment in the family of nations is the generation that will see the completion of "all these things" The generation of people that saw this blossoming of modern Israel were born between 1925 and 1935. Their lifespan will be roughly 70 years according to actuarial tables. Some will live much longer, but the Lord may have returned before their entire generation passes away. Jesus said to learn a lesson from the fig tree: "As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that summer is near, right at the door." Matthew 24:32. The Jewish people are heading back to Israel from many nations, this is prophecy being fulfilled. I believe the Lord's words!
