Mark 13:28

Wisdom

26 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

27 And He will send out the angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

29 So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.

30 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
