Two thousand years ago, Jesus’ disciples, too, wondered when He would come again. Jesus said He would come again when [[Last Judgment|Judgment Day]] is near just before the saints enter the kingdom of heaven.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+21%3A27-28&version=NIV |title=Luke 21:27–28 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Peter+3%3A12-13&version=NIV |title=2 Peter 3:12–13 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> He prophesied the timing of His second coming through the '''Parable of the Fig Tree'''. Although He did not specify a date, the Parable of the Fig Tree is a decisive sign that shows when Jesus comes again.

There are two parables of the fig tree spoken by Jesus in the [[The New Testament|New Testament]]. The first is when Jesus cursed a fig tree, written in the [[The Gospel of Matthew]] and [[Gospel of Mark|Mark]]. The second is the Parable of a Barren Fig Tree, recorded in the [[Gospel of Luke]]. The parables of the fig tree recorded in the Gospels lead to the prophecies of destruction and restoration of [[Israel]], and indicate the timing of Jesus’ second coming.
