They won't pour out wine offerings to Yahweh, Neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; All who eat of it will be polluted; For their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the house of Yahweh.
Now here the nation of Israel is liken unto a fig tree. This also is true in Joel, chapter 1, verse Hosea 9:7 , and in Jeremiah 23:0 I believe it is, or twenty-six... twenty-four, in between them. "Your fathers were as the first ripe fig trees at her first time." I do believe that Jesus, in Matthew 24 , here is a reference to Israel as a fig tree as in Joel and as in Jeremiah. Now you say, "But if Israel is the fig tree and it began to bud forth in 1948 and the generation that saw it bud forth wasn't to pass until all of things be fulfilled, how come they were getting up close to the end of that generation, 1988, forty years, and we the church are still here if we're gonna be gone seven years before?" A lot of suppositions in that.
