So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
All Commentaries on Matthew 24:33 Go To Matthew 24
Theophylact of Ochrid
AD 1107
When all these things occur, He says, the time is not far off from the end and My coming. "Summer" means the age to come and serenity after the winter storm, but only for the righteous; for sinners, it is instead storm and tumult. For when you see, He says, the branches and leaves of the fig tree, you expect summer; so too, when you see those signs of which I spoke, the sun and the moon being altered, expect My coming.
