Jesus, Israel, and the Fig Tree
How should we respond to the events in Israel? Jesus rebuked those who knew how to interpret the weather and not the signs of the times. While no one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return, He expected his followers to interpret current events through the lens of Scripture. When a tree begins to grow leaves, we know that summer is near. In the same way, Jesus’ prophecy points us toward the “leaves” that will precede His return. Christ’s command continues to echo through the centuries: “Stay awake!”
