From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. The fig-tree parable applied to the signs of the end: just as the fig tree's tender branch communicates the arrival of summer, the signs described in the previous verses communicate the nearness of the end. The parable communicates the relationship between signs and the event they signify.
