He told them this parable: "Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. (Luke 21: 29-31)

These things include false prophets, nation fighting nation, earthquake, famine, and pestilence, persecution of the faithful, betrayal by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, Jerusalem surrounded by armies, great distress, signs in the heavens, anguish and perplexity. (Luke 21:5-28)

When have there not been false prophets? When have the nations not battled? Has there ever been a time without earthquake, famine, pestilence, or any other of these signs?

The kingdom of God is near in times of trouble. The kingdom of God is always near. In the generation after Jesus, during the lifetime of his followers, the stones of the temple were thrown down. All the predictions were fulfilled. It is left to us to accept and experience the fulfillment.
