Luke 21:29
27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Then Jesus told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.
31 So also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
