The fig tree is symbolic of Israel itself – It often symbolized the health of the nation both spiritually and physically
Hosea 9:10
“When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert; when I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree.”
Later, the Bible tells us of the glorious time when
1 Kings 4:25
“Judah and Israel lived in safety, every man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.”
Joel, Habakkuk and Haggai
Later still, following the minor prophets we can see warnings to the nation of how God would bring destruction and failure of crops as part of his judgement against them, specifying empty fig trees that were stripped bare and fruitless.
In the New Testament we can also see Yeshua using the symbolic fig tree
i. firstly in the calling of Nathanael who was “sitting under a fig tree” like a “true Israelite” in John 1:48-50.
ii. Later he curses the fruitless fig tree, representing unfruitfulness (Mark 11:12-21),
iii. Uses the fig as a metaphor of how we should recognize the signs of the times (Matthew 24:32). This end-times warning system with the fig analogy is picked up again in Revelation 6:13.
So from Genesis to Revelation, the fig features strongly in scriptural symbolism. There are many more interesting references not mentioned here which are also worth exploring in Judges, Song of Songs, and parables of Yeshua.
It’s almost as if the fig was something of a barometer of the health of the nation – taken away as punishment, and flourishing in times of restoration.
