The Lesson of the Fig Tree
Matthew 24:32-35
The exhortation in the parable. “Learn” (Matthew 24:32). The parable begins with an exhortation to “learn” from it. This is the same exhortation we need when we read Scripture. We do not read Scripture just to say we have read the Bible through in a year but to “learn” from the Word of God.
• The example in the parable. “When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh” (Matthew 24:32). The fig tree example illustrates how the early growth of the tree is a forecast of things to come. It is an example of what these forecasted conditions indicate regarding the end of the age. “So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors” (Matthew 24:33). Since many of these conditions are in existence today, we are obviously near the time of the end. We can be justified in saying, “Look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).
