Context of Mark 13:26

24“But in those days, after that suffering, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light; 25the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arriving in the clouds with great power and glory. 27Then he will send angels and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. 28“Learn this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.

Here he foretells the final dissolution of the present frame and fabric of the world.
