"'There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see “the Son of Man coming in a cloud” with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.'

Then he told them a parable: ‘Look at the fig tree and all the trees; as soon as they sprout leaves you can see for yourselves and know that summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.'"

- Luke 21:25-33

I love this beautiful picture full of green leaves and figs. The Bible passage from Luke brings two songs to mind, with very different tones. There's Bob Dylan's pounding "When the Ship Comes In" with the crashing words "And the sea will hit and the ship will split." And then there's Richie Haven's quiet "Open our Eyes" with the words "when we finally realize, when we finally realize..." Makes me think, what is right before my eyes?

oh dear, I made a mistake with the words to the Dylan song. They correct ones are "and the sea will split and the ship will hit"
