2 | The meaning in Luke 13:6-9 parable | Luke 13:6 | Parable | 41722 | ||
See Hard Sayings of the Bible, by Kaiser, Davids, Brauch and Bruce. If memory serves, according to the authors...The fig tree is Jerusalem, where Jesus and the disciples were going for Passover. The fig tree represents those who hear the Word but reject it, and bear no fruit, as the fig tree has been given water, sunshine and soil, but yields no fruit. It has the appearance of life, i.e. branches and leaves, but offers nothing to sustain others or produce more fig trees. The lesson is that because Jerusalem rejects God, they are cut off from Him, the source of life, and they are doomed to wither and die. This came to pass with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD. |
