The physical organized church (symbolic of fig tree in leaves) failed to produce fruit for 3 years (1994 -1997), afterwards it was cut down (replaced by those true believers outside the physical organized who work to bring in the latter rain harvest ). This parallels National Israel no fruit bearing for 3 years 29 AD - 33 AD, afterwards it was cut down (replaced by the physical organized church) We see also in Luke 13:8 after the 3 years it was let alone fertilized and left alone for another year, if it did not produce it was cut down after a total of 4 years.
Luke 13:6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
Luke 13:7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
Luke 13:8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
Luke 13:9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
