“Fig, Fig-Tree” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
There are several kinds of fig-trees, but the well-known tree called the Ficus Carica is common in
Palestine
and very productive. It also agrees with the description of "sitting under the fig-tree" for repose, its branches and leaves giving protection from the heat of the
sun
. It was one of the trees in the
garden
of
Eden
, of the leaves of which
Adam
and
Eve
made aprons (
Gen. 3:7
7
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. (Genesis 3:7)
;
1 Kings 4:25
25
And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon. (1 Kings 4:25)
;
John 1:48
48
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. (John 1:48)
). The figs were made into
cakes
by being pressed together (
1 Sam. 25:18
18
Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses. (1 Samuel 25:18)
;
1 Sam. 30:12
12
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights. (1 Samuel 30:12)
). The trees
bear
figs at different
times
, hence the expressions “first-ripe figs,” and also “untimely figs” (
Nah. 3:12
12
All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater. (Nahum 3:12)
;
Rev. 6:13
13
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (Revelation 6:13)
). The fruit is produced before the leaves; so that leaves being found, there should have been fruit on the fig-tree cursed by the
Lord
, although the ordinary fig-season had not arrived (
Matt. 21:19-20
19
And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
20
And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! (Matthew 21:19‑20)
;
Mark 11:13, 20-21
13
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. (Mark 11:13)
20
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. (Mark 11:20‑21)
). This was typical of
Israel
which had been compared to a fig-tree, bringing forth its first-ripe figs (
Hos. 9:10
10
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved. (Hosea 9:10)
); but in the days of the Lord, Israel had plenty of leaves, professing to be
God
's favored people, but producing no real fruit to Him (
Luke 13:6-7
6
He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
7
Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? (Luke 13:6‑7)
). As a nation in the
flesh
no fruit will ever be found on it.
