Father help me to keep my eyes solely on You. As the happenings in this world resemble more and more the prophesy of the Bible I pray for the safety of my family and Church and the salvation of many who do not know Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Let Your light shine through Your servant.
Jesus presents a brief parable to demonstrate how the disciples should discern the signs of the times. Just as a fig tree gives clear indications as to when summer will arrive, so too will the events of this chapter indicate the arrival of the Son of Man. Faithlife Bible.
Generation may mean “race,” indicating that Israel as a people will not cease to exist before God fulfills His promises to them. Another possibility is that the word describes a particular era in which people will see the end times. That is, the events will occur so rapidly that all will happen within one generation. Perhaps both interpretations are true. All these things includes the Antichrist, the tribulation, and most importantly the appearance of Christ in glory. NKJ Bible.
Matthew 24:32–35 (NKJV)
32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
Isaiah 51:6 (NKJV)
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
And look on the earth beneath.
For the heavens will vanish away like smoke,
The earth will grow old like a garment,
And those who dwell in it will die in like manner;
But My salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not be abolished.
