Later, Jesus and the disciples would return to the city and see that the Jesus’ curse had withered away, thus proving the amazing power of God.

Yeshua being ignorant of an innumerable amount of things whilst supposedly being God will never not be hilarious. Saul of tarsus is the greatest charlatan to ever walk the earth.

He also told the storm to calm the f*ck down one time. He seems to hate being annoyed.

How does he not know it’s not in season? Isn’t he god? Shouldn’t the god who made the fruit tree know in which seasons it produces fruit? Is there a theological/academic explanation for this? Seems like a plot hole to me.

I thought he just cursed that specific fig tree to never bear fruit?

Fig trees produce early fruit before the main harvest. (Source : I have a fig tree in my backyard). The whole thing is a metaphor for the kingdom of God. There are a ton of parables about being ready for the kingdom even when you don’t know when it will come. Jesus is searching the tree for early figs as a metaphor for his coming to Jerusalem in an unexpected way.

You will notice in the Bible that Jesus asks many questions. This is not because He does not know the answer, but for the sake of the listener. Here, He is making a point about Israel and about life in general.

So when that dude wrote me “Jesus hates f*gs 😡” he meant figs! That’s reassuring.

To any Jew this analogy would’ve been obvious: for example in Jeremiah 24:1-3 it says “The Lord showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the Lord… One basket had very good figs, like those that ripen early; the other basket had very bad figs, so bad they could not be eaten.”
That’s describing the people of Judah. The good and the bad.
We can also go to Micah 7:1–2 “Woe is me! For I have become as when the summer fruit has been gathered, as when the grapes have been gleaned: there is no cluster to eat, no first-ripe fig that my soul desires. The godly has perished from the earth…”
And luke 13 literally contains a parable of fig trees not growing fruit.
Not to mention all the verses about knowing people by their fruit and the like

Fruit and figs were associated with deeds
