I believe that was what Jesus was referring to about learning the parable of the fig tree.

I was born in the year of 1948 so it is a very special year. I also know that Abraham was born in the year 1948 from creation. Is this a coincidence? Not really for I know our calendar is wrong. Was Israel becoming a nation by the hand of God or by man?? With all the troubles Israel has gone thru and will have, I believe it is by man. But, the events listed in the bible also tells me the end time events could not happen unless Israel was again a nation. As far as the fig tree is spoken about if the fig tree represented Israel, that generation would not pass away till all the things spoken had passed away. We are way pass the generation that saw Israel becoming a nation plus it includes the tribulation. I believe the fig tree represents a spring time event for the leaves comes out in the spring.
Except he didn't only speak of that one tree. What about the other ones?
Luk 21:29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
Luk 21:30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
Luk 21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Clearly this has nothing to do with 1948. He is speaking of all trees, when they shoot forth then summer is near which is the kingdom of God ie: the second coming. What he is saying is there are signs that we will see that will tell us when the second coming is near. It has nothing at all to do with Israel, not in 1948, 1967 or any year. It's not about only the fig tree. It's about how all trees behave when spring begins. They begin to come back to life and start growing and sprouting! It's a wonderful time of year! We are currently in the winter prophetically. We are looking for the signs of sprouting which is progression but progression of end times events. We need to be looking for the Revelation 13 events of two beasts and global changes.
