While the nation of Israel got it's start on May 14th 1948, it's first birthday was February 14th 1949. This was the Feast of Trees that year and is when the newly elected Government met for the first time. The "Fig Tree Generation" mentioned as such for a reason. Following the understanding from Leviticus 19 any tree planted, at any time of year, is 1 year old on the Feast of Trees. In the 4th year the Lord gets His first fruits. That is when the count starts. 1951, on the Feast of Trees is when you count from. We have till the Feast of Trees in 2031 for all to be fulfilled and for Jesus 2nd coming.
