We have come now to the application which our Lord Jesus would give to us concerning all of these eschatological truths that He has presented to His disciples in this chapter. The Lord Jesus makes His application in the form of a parable concerning a fig tree.

And 3rd – It is important that we understand what the word “it” means in the phrase, “know that it is near—at the doors!”
