Fig tree blosoms before summer. Jesus used summer as the time of His harvest.
Jesus commanded His faithful to learn the parable of the fig tree.
In Jeremiah 24, God showed Jeremiah two baskets of figs in a vision, one basket of good edible figs, and the other basket of 'evil'... figs. God compared the good basket of figs to Judah, and promised He would no more remove them from the land.
The last time the Jews were scattered from the holy land was by the Romans in 70 A.D., what the Jews call the Diaspora. Only in 1948 did they become a nation again, and have not been removed from the holy lands again. This represents the leaves showing up on the fig tree, pointing out how summer is near per Christ's parable.
And then per the parable, Lord Jesus said that the generation that sees "all these things", shall not pass until all "these things" are fulfilled (Matthew 24:33-34). The things Jesus was giving there are the Signs of the very end of this world leading up to His future return. So think a little for yourselves brethren, the generation that sees 'all' those Signs will be the generation that will literally 'see' Christ's return.
