Mt.
21: 18-22: The fig tree symbolizes the people of Israel and
grew with plenty of leaves. They were nurtured and cared by God. The fig tree
in the passage was there tempting the passerby…. God’s care could be seen but
no fruit found. The Israelites were proud of their origin like that of the fig
tree but they were not doing acts of fruition as wanted by God. So Jesus by
cursing the tree was using a prophetic method to the give the message to the
disciples that likewise this fig tree…. Be cursed if not fruit were seen.
