EARLY FIGS . WATCHING
IN THE BIBLE, God uses symbolism and allegory to convey important truths.
With this in mind, it is interesting to consider the symbolism around figs, particularly “early figs,” in Scripture:
• Figs represent Jews in Scripture. Furthermore, figs that ripen early in the season, called early figs, are said to be very good, or desirable (Jer. 24:2; Hos. 9:10; Nah. 3:12).
• Because they are desirable, early ripe figs are quickly snatched up (Isa. 28:4 NLT).
• Figs that are not ripe, or grow out of season, called “untimely figs,” fall to the ground when a shaking occurs (Rev. 6:13).
• In the rapture-allegory in Song Chapter 2, the shepherd comes to gather and spirit away his beloved Gentile maid at the time of early figs: “The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me” (Song 2:13).
• In Micah 7, the godly people vanish from the land, leaving the wicked behind to face judgment, at the time of early figs: “What misery is mine! I am like one who gathers summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster of grapes to eat, none of the early figs that I crave. The godly people have all disappeared; not one honest person is left on the earth .… The day God visits you has come, the day your watchmen sound the alarm. Now is the time of your confusion” (Mic. 7:1, 2, 4).
And so, two witnesses, Song 2 and Micah 7, testify to a gathering and/or vanishing of Gentiles and believing Jews at the time of early figs.
Significantly, early figs ripen around the end of June, and when “summer is near” (Matt. 24:32–34).
The day is coming when the “good figs,” Jews (and believers) who know Jesus as Lord and Savior, will vanish, leaving the rest behind to face judgment.
While no one knows exactly when that day will arrive, a convergence of biblical signs and timelines suggests it is near. If you do not know Jesus and want to escape the horror of the tribulation period known as “Jacob’s Trouble,” call on His name, and believe that He is the Son of God who died for your sins and was raised from the dead (Rom. 10:13).

PS. The stars fall as early figs. When they come down, we go up.
Revelation 6:12-17 (Asteroid Storm/Pole Shift)
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Revelation 12:3-5 (Asteroid Storm/Rapture)
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great, fiery red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up (Raptured) unto God, and to his throne.
