The Fig Tree Jesus Cursed
Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 11, 2025 (message contributor)
An acted-out parable: most of Israel was like a fig tree out of SEASON.
“The early figs, appearing in March or April and ripening in June, are called ‘bikkurah.’ …The early fig was considered a great delicacy by the Hebrews. The late or green figs, which sometimes ripen after the fall of the leaf, and occasionally remain on the tree during the winter months, are called ‘pag,’”[Jewish Encyclopedia]
• The tree looked like it should have early figs
• Israel looked spiritually prepared for Messiah, but rejected Him
