“The fig tree teaches us a lesson: When the fig tree’s branches become green and soft, and new leaves begin to grow, then you know that summer is near.
Jesus saw a fig tree beside the road. Jesus went to the fig tree \{to get a fig to eat\}. But there were no figs on the tree. There were only leaves. So Jesus said to the tree, “You will never again have fruit!” And then the tree dried up and died.
It is the same with these things that I told you would happen. When you see all these things happening, then you will know that the time {\cf2\super [189]} is near, ready to come.
