Subject: fig tree

Bible Note: 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.
