did i say left field, your last post shows you are not even in the ballpark!
who does the fig tree represent in Scripture and why did Jesus curse the fig tree in Mark 11:12-14?
Can you provide one verse of Scripture to prove your assertion that the Church has replaced Israel? I'm not even asking you to get in the ballpark - just the Bible.
who does the fig tree represent in Scripture and why did Jesus curse the fig tree in Mark 11:12-14?
The fig tree represents Israel and He cursed the fig tree, symbolically denouncing Israel as a nation and, in a sense, even denouncing unfruitful “Christians” (that is, people who profess to be Christian but have no evidence of a relationship with Christ). Symbolically, the fig tree represented the spiritual deadness of Israel, who while very religious outwardly with all the sacrifices and ceremonies, were spiritually barren because of their sins.
By cursing the fig tree, causing it to whither and die, Jesus was pronouncing His coming judgment of Israel and demonstrating His power to carry it out. And that judgment was carried out after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and the diaspora of the Jewish people.
Since the 1800s, that judgment has been lifted as God has been bringing His people back into the land He gave them, just as He said He would.
