Parable of Fig Tree Pt 1 ~ The nation of Israel and the Torah is likened to a Fig Tree

In this teaching you will be learning about the characteristics of the fig tree and the process that it goes through in its growing season. The Torah and the nation of Israel is likened to the fig tree. When asked about the timing of His second coming, Yeshua told his followers to “learn a parable of the fig tree”.The nation of Israel and the Torah is likened to a fig tree. The land of Israel is a land of figs. It takes 3 to 5 years for a fig tree to produce figs. When fully grown, its large leaves provide much shade in the summer. Being “under your fig tree” is a Hebrew idiom for seeking truth and walking in the fruit of the Torah. When Yeshua cursed the fig tree, it represented the Jewish nation not producing the fruit of the Torah and failing to recognize Yeshua as the Messiah.There are good figs (first ripe and summer figs) and bad figs (green figs that fall to the ground). As a result, the fig tree is associated with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. There are four Hebrew words which are associated with the various stages of growth of the figs.
