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.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Luke+21%3A27-28&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Luke 21:27–28 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=2+Peter+3%3A12-13&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=2 Peter 3:12–13 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> He prophesied the timing of His second coming through the '''Parable of the Fig Tree'''.

There are two parables of the fig tree spoken by Jesus in the [[New Testament]]. The first is when Jesus cursed a fig tree, written in 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. | There are two parables of the fig tree spoken by Jesus in the [[The New Testament|New Testament]].
