Context

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

²⁸Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. ²⁹So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.³⁰Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

Summary

In Mark 13:29, Jesus speaks about the signs that will indicate the nearness of His return. He uses the analogy of a fig tree putting forth leaves as a sign of summer approaching, indicating that when these signs begin to happen, His return is near. This verse serves as a reminder for believers to be watchful, discerning the signs of the times, and being prepared for the second coming of Christ. It emphasizes the importance of being spiritually vigilant and ready for the fulfillment of God's ultimate plan.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

So ye, in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass--rather, "coming to pass." know that it--"the kingdom of God" (Luk 21:31). is nigh, even at the doors--that is, the full manifestation of it; for till then it admitted of no full development. In Luke (Luk 21:28) the following words precede these: "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh"--their redemption, in the first instance certainly, from Jewish oppression (Th1 2:14-16; Luk 11:52): but in the highest sense of these words, redemption from all the oppressions and miseries of the present state at the second appearing of the Lord Jesus.
