1 | fig tree | Joel 1:7 | KamanUCI | 30568 | ||
In Mark 11:12-14 its says: 12 On the next day, when they had left Bethany, He became hungry. 13 Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 He said to it, ""May no one ever eat fruit from you again!'' And His disciples were listening. My understanding is that the fig tree is a representation of a believer and the point of these verses is to show the importance of bearing fruit. My question is, why would Jesus seek figs at a fig tree if it was not in season? Also, why did He curse it? Does this mean that we are to bear fruit in season and out of season? |

2 | fig tree | Joel 1:7 | bktwists | 30674 | ||
I believe that a Christian is to bear fruit always. In His word it says that you know THEM by their FRUIT. We must also be ready in season and out. I believe that you can turn your back on God and lose your salvation because the Word says your name can be blotted out of the book of life. So maybe the believer is represented by the Fig Tree....once a fruit bearer but then quit bearing fruit. So God cursed it. In God's Word it also states that we can CHOSE a blessing or a cursing. So who is it that blesses and curses. (Is it God?) oh well....something else to think about | ||||||
3 | fig tree | Joel 1:7 | elder young | 30682 | ||
When fig trees leaves appear the fruit or figs are there also.They also have more than one season.I'm not sure which commentary I read this in.I had the same question when I did the research. one minister said this was symbolic of taking the tithe and using it for personal use.He stated that travelers had eaten what was for the priests and levites and their families. At any rate, something went on apart from the will of God and the end result was a judgement: the death penalty. However God is merciful and sometimes God prolongs the sentencing until we've had time to get our act together. All unproductiveness is unacceptable with God.That is why we must abide in Him so we can continue to be fruitful. I would like to hear more on this subject too. elder young |
