The coming of the Messiah and formation of the State of Israel

Questioned by the disciples about his coming, the Master indicated a sign:
“Immediately after the suffering of those days, the Sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the Earth will mourn, and they will see ‘the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven’ with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, at the very gates. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and Earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away” (Matthew c.24 v.29-35).
But what does the flourishing of the fig tree mean? There is no doubt amidst the Bible scholars that the establishment of the State of Israel, on May 14th 1948, is the fulfillment of this prophecy. In the biblical text, the fig tree is Israel. It means that the generation of people who witnessed the fig tree springing (that means, Israel becoming a nation) will not pass until they see the Son of Man manifesting.
“The tribes of the Earth will mourn” means that some will cry of joy to see the divine justice fulfilled, but most people will shed the weeping of bitterness, of shame and remorse for the reproof they caused to the Son of Man. Hatred, misunderstanding and despise will be turned into impossible love.
The very formation of the State of Israel presupposes the coming of the Messiah. There is a prophecy in the Old Testament according to which Israel would turn to reintegrate as a nation by the manifestation of the Messiah (“My servant David shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall follow my ordinances and be careful to observe my statutes. They shall live in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, in which your ancestors lived… and my servant David shall be their prince forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them” – Ezekiel c.37 v.24-26). Nobody is obliged to believe, but INRI CRISTO is the humanity’s ancestor, Adam, that reincarnated as Noah, as Abraham, as Moses, as David etc. afterwards as Jesus and now as INRI.
INRI CRISTO reincarnated on March 22nd 1948, however not in Palestine anymore, but in the New World, more precisely in Brazil, Land of the Holy Cross, whose capital city, Brasilia, is the New Jerusalem of the Apocalypse: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new Earth… I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from GOD” (Revelation c.21 v.1-2).
Validating the pact with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the LORD reintegrated the land of Israel to the Jewish people: “For the days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel and Judah, and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their ancestors and they shall take possession of it” (Jeremiah c.30 v.3).
Nevertheless, the Messiah came to consummate the new covenant between GOD and men, which does not depend on flesh and blood, on biological ancestry. It’s the covenant of the spirit, thus being universal: “The days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt – a covenant that they broke… But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their GOD, and they shall be my people…” (Jeremiah c.31 v.31-34).
