If two pregnant women got married,
would that break the fig tree rule ?

Because they are giving fruit,
they are having babies.
You should have looked up what the fig tree rule is first. It's based on Mark 11:12-14, and has to do with bearing the spiritual fruit of repentance and the pursuit of righteousness unto God. Not the fruit of the womb.

This thread is closed for review.

Folks, pay attention to the forum you are in. IF you are not a Liberal Christian, this is not your congregational home.


EDIT - reopening after a little clean up

That is not what the fig tree teaching is about. It is about spiritual fruit, not literal babies.

I would like to suggest that you check out blueletterbible.org, and click on this

To the left, you will see "TOOLS", and click on that, and then commentaries.
The Matthew Henry commentary is good, and so is Jamieson, Fausset & Brown.
