Matthew 24:32 Meaning

Is the parable about the destruction of Jerusalem, the second coming of Jesus, or both? The matter is not perfectly clear.

Robertson, A.T. – Commentary on Matthew  in The Bible for Home & School  (1911)

After he has given the signs of the destruction of Jerusalem and of his own second coming, he confirms them in the certainty the coming of both, and draws all this doctrine to good use.

Matthew 24:32 Meaning – Summer is Near

And first, he certifies them of the destruction of the temple under the parable of a fig tree; that when the fig-tree begins to bud summer is near.

When we see some part of the truth of God come to pass in our sight, it should help us to believe and expect the fulfilling of the rest: as, When we see the trees bud, we know that summer is near.
