Hi john and doves,
3 years and 1 from sept 2017 sign is soon.
In fact it is the harvest time within the 4th year which is anytime about now.
The extra year is a delay.The olympics mimics the year delay.
The fertilizer... the last year..
See luke parable.
And He told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He came looking for fruit on it and found none. He told the vineyard worker, ‘Listen, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it even waste the soil? ’ “But he replied to him, ‘Sir, leave it this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. Perhaps it will bear fruit next year, but if not, you can cut it down.’ ”
Luke 13:6-9 HCSB
