Even so when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." The fig tree is refering to when all the Jews repent and then the fig tree will blossom. But with Adam and Eve, they used the fig tree leaves to cover up their shame. What do you think?

We expect the writer to say if you pull my hair, I'll pull your hair, if you give me a TootsiePop, I'll give you a TootsiePop, if we are faithless, He is faithless... wait, no, He is still faithful. If I am faithless, God is still faithful to what He has said. Without faith it is impossible to please God, and He will responde to my embrace of Him or rejection of Him exactly as He has told me He will. That can be great news, or horrifying news. It just depends on my perspective. I’ve always been intrigued by the seeming “hiccup” in the last line where it breaks the duplet.
