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.
