‘End’ of the Prophetic Timeline? Anne Graham Lotz on Prophecy, Charlie Kirk & More

Lotz added that the second sign, which she sees as thrilling, is Jesus’ parable of the fig tree. “The fig tree in [the] Scriptures represented Israel and … he was using a fig tree to represent Israel to his disciples,” she said. “So I think it’s representing Israel when he says the fig tree, when you see it put forth buds and leaves and it begins to blossom, the generation that sees that will be the last generation, and, so, Israel had been dormant, had been a fig tree like in the wintertime since the Romans destroyed her in AD 70.” But Lotz said the Jews, after being dispersed all over the globe, came back to the land and Israel was founded again after the Holocaust on May 14, 1948. This fulfillment of prophecy is something she sees as another sign that we could be edging very close to the end of days. Lotz believes, in the end, Christians should know the prophetic timeline and where we might fall on it. “For myself … I think we’re at the end of that timeline,” she said. She also discussed Charlie Kirk’s death. “And I look at Charlie Kirk’s death, as untimely as it was, as much as I grieve for his wife and his children, I wonder if … that’s the grain of wheat and God allowed him to fall into the ground, so to speak, and die,” she said. “Because, from his death, is springing up just thousands of people’s lives who are being impacted and changed.” Lotz said Kirk’s life, which was impactful, pales in comparison to the impact he is now having on so many.
