Figs, the End, & Jesus

In Matthew 24 Jesus’s disciples ask him about the end times, when Jesus will set up his Kingdom on earth and reign as king. Jesus replies with some details around what will take place before his second coming, things we should pay attention to so we’re ready. But it’s important to remember that the purpose of prophesy in Scripture is not so that we can sit around and predict the future, but so that we would recognize God’s hand when things take place. The purpose of prophecy, then, is recognition, not prediction. For every prophecy about Jesus’s first coming, there are approximately 8 more that deal with the end times and his second coming. Every prophecy about his first coming was fulfilled perfectly, and we can have confidence that every one about his return will be as well. Jesus includes a short parable about a fig tree as he encourages us to pay attention to the times—not with fearful hearts but with great hope!

Scripture References: Matthew 24:32-35
