Matthew 24:32
Compare all
30 aThen the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, band then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.  
31 aAnd He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His1 elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.  

The Parable of the Fig Tree

32 “Now learn athis 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 athat it is near—at the doors!  
34 Assuredly, I say to you, athis generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.  
35 aHeaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

Barnes' Notes
<< Matthew 24:31   Matthew 24:33 >>


Matthew 24:32

Now learn a parable - See the notes at Matthew 13:3. The word here means, rather, "an illustration" make a "comparison," or judge of this as you do respecting a fig-tree.

Fig-tree - This was spoken on the Mount of Olives, which produced not only olives, but figs. Possibly one was near when he spoke this.

When his branch ... - When the juices return from the roots into the branches, and the buds swell and burst, "as if tender," and too feeble to contain the pressing and expanding leaves when you see that, you judge that spring and summer are near.
