Mateus 24

Jesus told his disciples how to know when the time of his return was near.

32 "Now I want you to learn something from this parable about how fig trees grow. In this area, when the buds of a fig tree become tender and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. 33 Similarly, when you see all these things that I have just described happening, you will know that the time for me to return is very close [MET].
