Context of Luke 21:30

28“When these things begin to happen, stand with confidence! The time when you will be set free is near.” 29Then Jesus used this story as an illustration. “Look at the fig tree or any other tree. As soon as leaves grow on them, you know without being told that summer is near. 31In the same way, when you see these things happen, you know that God’s kingdom is near. 32“I can guarantee this truth: This generation will not disappear until all this takes place.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5-38When Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, his disciples asked when it would happen and what signs would accompany it (21:6,7). Jesus responded by describing the events surrounding the destruction of the temple and the return of the Son of Man (21:8–36).
