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.

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?

13:8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

13:9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

Jesus was offering Israel the prophetic Davidic kingdom on earth during his three year earthly ministry. For three years Jesus was looking for the fruit of repentance.

Jesus, after his resurrection, gave Israel time to repent and believe the gospel of the kingdom, and receive him as their Messiah and the Son of God.

Jesus, after his resurrection, gave Israel one more year to repent and believe the gospel of the kingdom, and receive him as their Messiah and the Son of God.

I'm not sure how your getting that after the resurrection Jesus gave Israel one more year to repent. The scripture you quoted doesn't say that at all.

Hello
It can be seen in the book of Acts that Israel was not set aside all at once.

This is found nowhere in the Scriptures especially the Book of Acts
It’s reading into Scripture

I changed the post upon more consideration. I was going by some who said there was a 1 year time frame from Acts 2 and Acts 7 but there is debate on this. Looking at the verse it does not specify when Israel would fall.
Thanks
