In the parable of the barren fig tree, we learn how to prepare ourselves for the coming of the kingdom.

“All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: ‘I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.'”
