What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, And in the day of the feast of Yahweh?
As I said this morning, if I didn't really believe in the Lord and in trusting in Him, I would be looking for some place to just crawl into a cave and wait until it was all over. I'd be looking for some little atoll or island out in the Pacific and I'd just get me a pile of coconuts and a fish net and hope to tough it out until it all went up in a puff of smoke. But my trust is not in man nor in the parliament, nor in the powers of man, nor in the leagues of men, but my trust is in the Lord and in God's Word. And I do not see the whole thing going up in God's Word as long as the church is here. So I'm just committing my ways to the Lord as far as that goes. But we are getting close to the end of that generation that saw the fig tree bud forth, and I do think there is a correlation between verse Hosea 9:10 where God said, "I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree," and the parable of the fig tree in Matthew 24:0 in that the identity of the fig tree is indeed Israel.
