Clearly there was no temple in existence in 1948, so I would conclude that this prophecy has nothing to do with modern time.
Perhaps you've seen something like the following post, which I made some time back... bearing in mind what I said in an earlier post about Ezek37-39 (esp. the "dry bones" prophecy) seeming to unfold in "stages"...
Consider:
[quoting old post]
Here's how I'm seeing that.
--
FROM 537bc [the "Return to
Israel" from captivity]
TO 1948ad [Nation of
Israel]
= 2520y (factored in 360 day years, as "time-prophecies"
relating to Israel are often factored); and
--
FROM 518bc [the "
Temple Rebuilding"]
TO 1967ad [Jerusalem Regained (
apart from which, there can be no temple)]
= 2520y (ditto the above)
--[I believe there are two other connections, but can't quote them off the top of my head...]
...the equation (in the above) being,
"Ezekiel 4 minus 2 Chronicles 36:21 times Leviticus 26 equals 2520 years" (2520 years of 360-day years, in the above-mentioned ones).
--Ezekiel 4 is 430 yrs,
360 yrs of which were "remaining"; and
--[minus] 2Chronicles 36:21, "until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths:
for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath,
to fulfil threescore and ten years [70 yrs]"; and
--[times]
Leviticus 26 4x says (basically) [re: Israel],
"[but
if not,
then]... I will punish you
seven times more for your sins."
So (when examined), we see
[360y (remained) x 7 = 2520y]
I think this has to be more than "coincidence" (and acknowledging the
stages shown to be expected in the
Ezekiel 37 chpt ["dry bones prophecy" regarding Israel])

[
caveat: I've posted before that I see Scripture referring to "the fig tree" as something DISTINCT from "Israel" (which according to Isa5:7 "the VINEYARD of the Lord of hosts is the house OF ISRAEL"... and according to the parable in Lk13:6 "[a certain man] had A FIG TREE planted IN his VINEYARD"--showing there to be two DISTINCT items, though somewhat in relation to each other, that are NOT IDENTICAL... so I'm not really convinced that "the fig tree parable" in Matt24:32-34/Mk13:28-30/Lk21:29-32 speaks
specifically of "Israel," but more like something
associated with Israel (which is itself identified as the "vineyard")]
