In this passage, Jesus uses the illustration of a fig tree to teach his disciples about the signs of the times and remaining spiritually alert. Just as new leaves signal that summer is near, certain events will indicate that God’s purposes are unfolding. Yet Jesus makes clear that no one knows the exact day or hour of his return — not even the angels — so his followers must live in a constant state of readiness. The call is not to speculation but to watchfulness and faithful living, because the Son of Man could return at any time.
