When they sprout leaves This phrase refers to the natural process of growth and renewal in plants, specifically trees. In the Greek, the word for "sprout" is "προβάλλω" (proballō), which means to put forth or to project. This imagery of sprouting leaves is a metaphor for the signs of the times, indicating a period of change or the fulfillment of prophecy. In the context of Luke 21, Jesus is teaching about the signs of the end times. Just as the sprouting of leaves is a clear and visible sign of the coming summer, so too are the signs He describes clear indicators of the approaching Kingdom of God. This metaphor would have been easily understood by Jesus' audience, who lived in an agrarian society and were familiar with the cycles of nature. you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near Greek Whenὅταν (hotan) Conjunction Strong's 3752: When, whenever.
