Watch For The Signs

Luke: 21: 29-33

 Learn From the Signs

²⁹ He told them this 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 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

³² “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. ³³ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

The parable of the Fig Tree is clear and concise, but what are the signs we are to look for regarding of the Coming of the Kingdom?  Conjecture over these signs has continued from the time of Jesus to the present.  Indeed, some have thought they had the signs that clearly showed the "end was here," sold all but were greatly surprised and disappointed when "the end" did not come.  Hasn't "this generation" passed by now?  Several thousand times, and we are still here.. Perhaps it is best to focus on holding fast to the words of Jesus, living them, and not worrying about "the end" over which we have no control. The "signs" we see in our world today do not bode well for the future as more and more people drift from the active practice of their Faith or even a basic belief in God.  If nothing else, we can do something to put the word of God into our daily lives, so let's JUST DO IT!
