The Late Bishop Jack L. Frost, In Opening Prayer
 

This web page is credited to Bishop Jack L. Frost, who has gone on to be with the Lord. 

  Bishop Frost was a servant of the most high God, a preacher of holiness, and a prophet. Who laboured in the written Word of God for many years, concerning the End-Time, Bible Prophecies.
The Lord taught many secrets to Bishop Frost, to the putting together of the puzzle, or riddle of End-Time Bible Prophecies.  (Ezekiel 17:2)
He was a faithful witness; he sowed the seed of God’s End-Time Bible Prophecies in many hearts.   
According to the precepts of God’s Word, Bishop Jack L. Frost is counted worthy of double honour.

    Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.    
 (1 Timothy 5:17)    

Dear soul, whoever you are; notice in the comparisons of the King James Authorized Version, to the NKJV.
The King James Authorized Version is harmonious throughout.
That cannot be said of the so-called NKJV. It’s just another device of Satan.
Satan does not want the children of God to gain the understanding of what is coming upon this (genea) generation.

Dear soul, we need every word of God. (Matt.4:4) (Luke 4:4) (Deut. 8:3)

By studying the End-Time Bible Prophecies in the King James Authorized Version, and by studying God’s One Method of Study (Isaiah 28:10), as Bishop Frost taught on his teaching tapes.   Any soul who wants to, and is guided by the Holy Spirit, can learn these secrets also. And put the puzzle or riddle of the End-Time, as God taught them to Bishop Frost, and by deducting every exception; (Hebrews 7:7) and find the faithful saying that is worthy of ALL acceptation! (1Timothy 1:15) (1 Timothy 4:9) (Titus 3:8)

  He has promised to guide us into ALL truth. (John 16:13) That includes the prophecies of the End-Time.
God is no respecter of persons. (Acts 10:43)
Praise the Lord.

A quote by Brother Jerry Rodgers, concerning The Late Bishop Jack L. Frost’s Prophecies Teaching Tapes;
“Which are a school in themselves”

 
And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: 
Daniel 11:33

  Isaiah 28:10

 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

  Concerning the fig tree
his branch
her branch

  Matthew 24:32

(KJV)> Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

Mark 13:28

(KJV)> Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

Parable of the fig tree
Jeremiah  24:1-6

(KJV)> 1 The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
2 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
3 Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
4 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
6 For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
7 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

 

Joel 1:6-7

(KJV)> 6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.

(NKJV) 6 For a nation has come up against My land, Strong, and without number; His teeth are the teeth of a lion, And he has the fangs of a fierce lion.
7 He has laid waste My vine, And ruined My fig tree; He has stripped it bare and thrown it away;
Its branches are made white.

 

Joel 3:1-2

(KJV)> 1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,  2  I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

(NKJV) 1. For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there  On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.

  Zechariah 2:4-5

(KJV)> 4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
5 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

(NKJV)  No change

Zechariah 2:12

(KJV)>   And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

(NKJV)  And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem

  Isaiah 7:14-16

(KJV)> 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. 16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.

(NKJV)   14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. 15 Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good. 16 For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.

  his branch (vs.) its branch
Matthew 24:32

(KJV)> Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

(NKJV)  "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near

  her branch (vs.) its branch
Mark 13:28

(KJV)> Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

(NKJV)  "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near

> Jesus said,  Now learn a parable of the fig tree”;
> The NKJV has removed the words his and her and used the word its, in referring to the branches. IF we are going to learn this parable, we need EVERY WORD of God.

The fig tree
and all the trees

 
Luke 21:29-30

(KJV)> 29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

(NKJV) 29 Then He spoke to them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.

Jeremiah 25:8-9

(KJV)> 8 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,  9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations

(NKJV)  8 "Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Because you have not heard My words, 9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,' says the LORD, 'and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, against its inhabitants, and against these nations all around, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, a hissing, and perpetual desolations.

Nations/Trees
Ezekiel 17:2-5

(KJV)> 2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;  3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:  4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants. 5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.  4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants. 5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree. 6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. 7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. 8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. 9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof. 10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew. 11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;
13 And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land: 14 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered? 16 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. 17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons: 18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape. 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head. 20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me. 21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it. 22 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent: 23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.

  Isaiah 2:10-14

(KJV)> 12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: 13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

(NKJV) 12 For the day of the LORD of hosts Shall come upon everything proud and lofty, Upon everything lifted up--And it shall be brought low-- 13 Upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, And upon all the oaks of Bashan;

  Parable of the trees
Judges 9:8-15

(KJV)> 8 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
9  But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
10 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.
11 But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
12 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.
13 And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
14 Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.
15 And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

Psalms 137:1-3

(KJV)> 1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.  4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?

The significance of 
the fig tree.
his branch her branch
and all the trees

  The Fig Three Restored-his Branch

Ø     Israel became completely self-governing nation. Put up the Star of David, their flag. May 15, 1948. (Jeremiah 24) (Zechariah 2:12)

  All the trees

Ø     1. Oaks of Bashan (Isaiah 2:13) Syria.
Syria borders Israel North & North East.
Syria was granted self-governing, independent nation 1946.

Ø     2. The cedars of Lebanon (Isaiah 2:13) Lebanon
      Lebanon became a fully, independent nation 1946.
     
Lebanon borders Israel to the North.

Ø     3. Jordan became a sovereign nation 1946. Jordan borders Israel on the East.
Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. 1946 their leaves put forth.

Ø     4. Egypt, the ancient southern nation. That borders Israel to the south. Egypt became a Republic. Sovereign, independent nation June 18, 1953.

Jesus said in Luke 21:29,30  “
Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot forth,

            all these nations round about, (Jeremiah 25:9)

her branch

      Ø     The land of Judah.  (Isaiah 7:16)
      Ø     The city of Jerusalem. (Zechariah 2:4,5)

     Ø     The eastern ancient sector of Jerusalem; Came into the possession of 
          the Jews 1967, in the 6th Day June War.  

         

     Ø     The importance in gaining the understanding of the End-Time 
             Bible Prophecies. As Bishop Frost taught.

      Ø     1. God’s dealing with the Jews. The tribes of Benjamin, Judah, and Levi.
      Ø     2. God’s dealing with the land of the Jews.
      Ø     3. God’s dealing with the city of the Jews; Jerusalem.
      Ø     4. God’s dealing with the Holy Site of the Jews. Mount Moriah.
      Ø     It’s that simple.
      Ø     If we do not get this understanding, we will never be able to put the keys
          to the puzzle or riddle together. (Ezekiel 17:2)
