Mark 13:30
28 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.
Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
32 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
