Perhaps learn about the end of the age, it is not about the end of time.
Nah, nice twist "This" the generation who would experience the destruction of the temple, the generation of vipers, the religious leaders accusing and looking to trap Him concerning the Law of Moses, Matt 3:7. Matt 12:34. Luke 3:7.
That means it was the current generation when Jesus spoke it!
First of all, Matthew 24 is merely two chapters before the so-called "arrest" (so called, as no mere man can "arrest" the Infinite Omniscient God) of Jesus, therefore Jesus is looking far forward in time.
And the Nation Israel was NOT ***THEN*** sprouting new green leaf growth, rather the entire tree was getting chopped down to the roots!
Only to sprout again in the LATTER DAYS!
Luk 3:9
And now also the axe is laid unto the
root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Rom 11:17
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the
root and fatness of the olive tree;
Mat 24:32
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer
is nigh:
Mat 24:33
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things,
know that it is near, even at the doors.
Luk 21:24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles,
until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Hos 3:5
Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the
latter days.
Deu 4:30
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee,
even in the
latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
Deu 4:31
(For the LORD thy God
is a merciful God, he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee,
nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

You see
@HeIsHere , your failure to rightly comprehend Gods eternal love for his brethren in the flesh Jacob leaves you at a grievous loss, this ignorance of you own will and choosing.
Gen 50:17
So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

But as for you, ye thought evil against me;
but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as
it is this day, to save much people alive.
