Mark 11:12-14, 20-21

Jesus clearly tells His followers He will return. Luke 21:29-33, have caused people to doubt Jesus is God, is sovereign, and that He will return. There has been much speculation and heresy taught about this section of scripture. Using Biblical Hermeneutics, Travis exegetes this section of Scripture. He emphasizes how imperative it is that each hearer of Jesus teaching always be prepared… The post Certainty and the Fig Tree, Part 2 | Ready for the End appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

Assurance the kingdom's coming will bring fulfillment of God's promises. In Jesus teaching regarding His imminent return in judgment, he used the illustration of a Fig tree and all trees. He is giving a warning to the hearers that what they see during their lifetime will all perish upon His return. This can be troubling to hearers. Jesus is telling the hearers… The post Certainty and the Fig Tree, Part 1 | Ready for the End appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

As we kick off our family series, Ben takes us from Figtree to rural Victoria, to Coffs Harbour as we look at the real life implications of Matthew 12:46-50.

This week we continue with Mark Chapter 11. And here we reach the beginning of the end of the story as Jesus and his disciples reach Jerusalem. The first 7 chapters we focus on Jesus and his ministry in the region of Galilee as he proclaimed the good news of the Kingdom of God slowly revealing himself as the Messiah along the way. Then in chapters 8 through 10 we transitioned as Jesus began his journey south towards Jerusalem and began to unpack what that meant, what his mission truly was and what it means to follow him. Now pivot again as Jesus makes his triumphant entry into Jerusalem for the Passover week ready to confront the religious, political and most importantly spiritual powers of the world.

It's about whether or not the blessings we enjoy bring about the fruit that God seeks.

Introduction The Question of the Temple ( Mark 11:12-19 ) This is weird. Jesus seems to act very out of character: Fig tree Temple For the disciples, the temple cleansing was what they had waited for. But the way Jesus did it was disappointing. The fig tree is there to asnwer the question of the temple…

Mark 11:12-25: Cursing the Fig Tree, Cleansing the Temple & Moving Mountains➡️ Jesus curses a fig tree for bearing no fruit, even though it wasn't fig season. At first glance, this seems unfair. Some interpretations:> Creation is Broken: Some suggest the act reflects Jesus' grief over a broken creation. In a perfect world (like Eden), fruit trees would always bear fruit. The fig tree's barrenness symbolizes how sin has disrupted creation..> Symbol of Israel: The fig tree also represents Israel. Its lack of fruit reflects the spiritual barrenness of God's people. This ties to what follows.➡️ Jesus Cleanses the Temple Jesus enters the temple & violently clears out the money changers. The fig tree & the temple are likely connected.> Fig Tree = Israel's False Peace: Like the tree, Israel gives the appearance of health but bears no spiritual fruit. It represents a religious system that had become transactional, abusive, and no longer a source of the forgiveness of sins. >Temple System Coming to an End: Jesus' actions show that the entire temple system has run its course. Jesus fulfills the temple, and it is no longer necessary — He is the new temple.➡️ Faith That Moves Mountains What does this mean when Jesus says, “If you have faith, you can say to this mountain, ‘Be thrown into the sea,' and it will be done?” > The "mountain" may symbolize the Temple MountIt doesn't mean God is a "vending machine" where faith is a currency to get material things.Nor is it about manipulating God to get what you want.The call to “move mountains” is not about miracles or material gain, but faith in Jesus. Prayer, then, is about aligning our hearts with God's will — seeking the kingdom and finding comfort in His promises, not worldly outcomes.Contributor Rev.

The cursing of the fig tree isn't a random act of frustration but a deliberate teaching tool sandwiched around Jesus' cleansing of the temple. Both incidents highlight the same spiritual truth—Israel's leadership had failed in its divine purpose. Though "it wasn't the season for figs," Jesus makes clear that this particular season in Israel's history was characterized by spiritual fruitlessness.We examine how the withered tree serves as both judgment and warning. Just as Jesus inspected the fig tree and found no evidence of future fruit, He inspected the temple and found corruption instead of worship. The parallel is unmistakable—God expects fruitfulness from those who claim to follow Him.This episode delivers a sobering question for today's church: What happens when Christ inspects our ministries and personal lives? Are we bearing genuine spiritual fruit, or merely displaying religious leaves? The fig tree's withering stands as a powerful reminder that God's judgment falls on fruitlessness.Join us next time as we continue our verse-by-verse journey through Mark's gospel, exploring the final days of Jesus before His crucifixion—the most significant events in human history.Support the showThank you for listening!!

In the familiar story in Mark 11:12-14 Jesus demonstrated to his disciples the need for believers to bear good fruit…it was representative of the Jewish leaders who had all the right trappings to appear outwardly righteous, but inside, were barren and void. Later, in Verse 20 when the disciples commented about the fig tree being withered according to Jesus word, Jesus taught them about their own authority and responsibility, to speak instructions to their mountain, to be removed from their path. While this is very, very hard for some of us to grasp, it's Jesus' own words. ANd, what a beautiful time of speaking to our mountains we had!

In this lesson, we explore the rich Hebrew idiom “to sit under a fig tree”—a phrase that, in ancient Jewish culture, came to mean sitting under the teaching of a Rabbi. But how did a fig tree come to symbolize a Rabbi? We begin with Proverbs 27:18, which compares tending a fig tree to attending to one's master. The goal is the same: cultivate fruit. We'll trace this symbolism further through Psalm 1:3, where the one who meditates (Hebrew hagah) on the Torah is described as a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in season. In the first century, it was the Rabbis who hagah-ed the Scriptures—ruminating, growling over, and digesting the text in order to pass on insights to their students. In this context, the Rabbi becomes like a fig tree, cultivated for the sake of producing fruit in others. Join us as we uncover the layered beauty of this ancient imagery and see how sitting under a fig tree becomes a powerful metaphor for discipleship, wisdom, and spiritual nourishment. --------------------------------------------------------- www.figtreeteaching.com Join the Fig Tree Coffee Club: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/store/p3/Fig_Tree_Coffee_Club.html Support Fig Tree Ministries: https://donorbox.org/support-figtree-ministries Fig Tree Amazon Portal: https://amzn.to/3USMelI Lesson Handout: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/blog/revealing-the-symbolism-of-rabbi-as-a-fig-tree Explore my digital notes on the Gospel of John, now available at the links below: Notes on John 1:43-52: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/blog/notes-on-john-143-52 YouTube - https://youtu.be/hHV2DBNSino Music: Apple Trees by Auxl Studio - C6SQW8OKHAGPMEYS References: (Support Fig Tree Ministries when you purchase through Amazon using the links below) Explore the Various Translations of Proverbs 27:18 - https://biblehub.com/proverbs/27-18.htm Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament: https://amzn.to/3Eepy9T

PASSION8 "Fig Tree and Temple Cleansing" Pastor Brad Gaillard March 30, 2025 by Tuscaloosa First Assembly

In this podcast episode, David Bowden delves into Mark 11:12-25, exploring the interconnected stories of Jesus cursing the fig tree, cleansing the temple, and teaching about faith and prayer. David unpacks the rich symbolism and theological significance behind these events, demonstrating how they relate to God's larger plan for redemption and the role of the temple throughout biblical history.

By John Freeman - Why did Jesus curse the fig tree in Mark 11? What is the symbolism of cursing that fig tree? To answer those questions, we look at history and context, including some of the fascinating biology of the fig tree. Jesus also cleansed the temple of moneychangers that day. How does that episode help
