On the way back to Jerusalem after the triumphal Entry, Jesus
encounters a fig tree that has no fruit on it, and he promptly
curses it. Therefore, Jesus must hate fig trees. No wait, Jesus is
teaching you how to curse fig trees, yeah that's it. No, wait,
Jesus is teaching you about having faith and speaking to fig trees
and mountains so you can overcome these obstacles.
There has been so much bad teaching on this one incident that whole
versions of Christianity have grown up around the strange
interpretations of this incident. But what if, just what if...
Jesus was talking about cursing Israel? What if Jesus had gone to
the tree that is Israel, found no fruit on it, and per the covenant
made with Israel Jesus calls down the condemnation upon the nation
for neglecting the message they were to spread?
