“The fig tree is one of the last trees to bud in the spring, so when it begins to get leaves people know that summer is right around the corner. There’ll be no more false starts, no more cold snaps. Summer is now certain and soon. Jesus used this analogy to tell people who’ll be on Earth at the time that when they see the things he described beginning in Matt. 24:15, they’ll know that His coming is really near.”

I asked you in a previous thread what you make of the equivalent passage in Luke 21 where He refers to “the fig tree AND ALL THE TREES” and you didn’t reply. Please do so now.

I don't remember that post at all.

You'll need to re-post the the original post.

FWIW, in both passages I don't think the Fig tree represents Israel as it often does in Scripture. I believe in this instance and in Matt 24 that the trees are the signs we should recognize that the end of times is imminent.
