Ezekiel 10 & 11. YHVH departing from the Temple thru the East gate towards the Mount of Olives.
I should have structured the question with greater specificity.......sorry.
I don’t think it was a fig tree because Adam and Eve sewed a covering for themselves with fig leaves…. which is symbolic of righteousness.
Jesus Christ cursed the fig tree because He found no fruit on it, only leaves which was symbolic of the sin of Israel… looking righteous on the outside but dead on the inside… no belief, no humility, no love for God or people.
Which still leads to doing away with Sin. Thanks for this input about the leafs, time to leave evil, thank you,
Yes they did cover up with fig Leafs, used Fig leafs, to hide that they knew they were naked. As God said who told you you were naked? As if God did not already know. The humility of God, me seeing to be accountable to me to be honest
So, he did take away sin on that cross for all, done once for all. Wow, thanking Father and Son as Won for us to be new in the risen Life given us.
Thank you for being a part of opening up scripture a little deeper to me
All of them, not one stone would be left upon another…
And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Covered in fig leaves is a type and symbol of......graveclothes. With attendant mourning sadness etc....
So then not all of them. Only the stones that were resting on other stones would be cast down. The pillars were the stones that were holding all the other stones up. They were not resting or sitting on other stones. They were standing on the rock, the foundation, which is Jesus Christ.
Well…..let’s see…what does Matthew 24:29-40 say…
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

I don’t see fig leaves as grave clothes…
Out of all the leaves of all the trees in the Garden of Eden, they chose the fig leaves… why?
I don’t think they were looking for grave clothes…. those fig leaves must have been very beautiful…
They were very afraid and trying to cover up their nakedness.
Daniel 7:13

Zechariah 12:10
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.

Zephaniah 1:14-15
The great day of the Lord is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter; the mighty man cries aloud there. A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

Ezekiel 32:7-8

Jeremiah 4:23-28
I looked on the earth, and behold, it was without form and void; and to the heavens, and they had no light. I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking, and all the hills moved to and fro. I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the air had fled. I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a desert, and all its cities were laid in ruins before the Lord, before his fierce anger. For thus says the Lord, “The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.
Yes, but that was not the question, the question was what stones are cast down, which ones?
then mankind rebuilt it and calls this God's Church. Really?
I thought, think God's Church is in truth the Ecclesia, " the called out ones" God in God's resurrection of Son for us, to live in and through us. only if one is willing even as Christ was willing all the way to death for us to take away sin first, before any new life could get given us by God Father of the risen Son, to live in and through us onto all that choose to believe God in the same love and mercy given us on that cross for us all, to believe and stand in it, even if go through troubles also.
Wow, woe is me as in Isaiah 6:1-7
Yes, so the pillars are not cast down, only the stones resting on other stones. The pillars are raptured, like Philadelphia, while all the stones depending on others to do all the work will be cast down.
