Since I found myself less familiar with the period of church history running from the end of Acts up to c. 200 AD, I watched all the movies that I found about the Church in that time (See: Movies on the Early Church) , the writing of the N.T.(Movies on the Writing of the New Testament), the 12 apostles (Movies on the 12 Apostles), and Revelation. Here are the movies I saw on Revelation, below. Let me know if there are others:

Questions
In the History Channel episode Apocalypse in the series Decoding the Past, Professor David Barr says:
Do you agree with this description of the battle between Good and Evil in Revelation?

In the Decoding the Past episode "The Anti-Christ", according to some Dispensationalists, Matthew 24:32-33 uses the fig tree to designate the Jewish political community as a sign of the End Times. The verses say:
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
I checked a few church commentaries and they didn't equate the fig tree in this passage with the Jewish nation. They just saw the tree in the verse as a metaphor of how one knows that summer is coming, although one writer saw it as a metaphor for the Church and its successes.

But isn't the image of the fig tree in the gospels a reference to the Jewish political community? For example, didn't it reject Jesus as the Messiah at His arrival and hence was not found fruitful in the gospel stories in Matthew 21, Mark 11 and Luke 13?

Clarence Larkin writes about the fig tree in those three other passages:
Or is one supposed to think that in Matthew 24, Jesus' sign of the fig tree didn't relate to the Jewish political community, but in those three other passages it did?

First off, there is no S at the end of the name of the last book in the Bible.

Next, better you should read early church historians, such as Eusebius, Sozomen, and Socrates (not the philosopher) than videos.
