The Lesson of the Fig Tree (MRK 13:28-31)

[13:28] “Let the fig tree teach you a lesson. When its branches become green and tender and it starts putting out leaves, you know that summer is near.

[13:29] In the same way, when you see these things happening, you will know that the time is near, ready to begin.

[13:30] Remember that all these things will happen before the people now living have all died.

[13:31] Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
