Fig Tree News
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Matthew 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has given us discernment in knowing the season by the parable of the fig tree. Let's look at some of the headlines in the news lately and see if we can hear the footsteps of Jesus.
