“The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. Jesus told it, ‘May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.’” —Gospel of Mark, 11:12-14 Very simply, the fig tree represents the old ways of ancient Judaism, which is symbolic to the Temple in Jerusalem.
