The Fig Tree

By: Z'kharYah Yisra'El


Mark 11

11: And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
 
12
: And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

Ok, now, you see here, J.C. is hungry.
 
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.
 
You see, he saw
a fig tree afar off having leaves, and when he got to it there were no figs. He found nothing but leaves on the tree. It was still too early for figs. So, what did Christ do? He made figs grow on the tree, right? Wrong!

14
: And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

Now, here, Christ is actually talking to the fig tree, and his disciples heard it. His disciples was probably wondering why he was talking to a tree, and why did he say, "no man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever"? They will find out later why Christ said that to the fig tree. But, first, Christ and his disciples have some business to take care of in Jerusalem.
 
15
: And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
 
16
: And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
 
17
: And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

18: And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

You see, in verse 18
the scribes and chief priests heard what Christ said after he overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and destroying the place. They feared him, because all the people liked what Christ had said about the temple being a house of prayer for all people. That made the scribes and chief priests afraid that the people might listen to the teachings of Christ, and that Christ would be some competition with them, and change the corrupt business that's going on inside the temple. The scribes and chief priests couldn't have that, so they wanted to kill Christ.

When Christ  said, "Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer?", he was NOT  talking about the house of Christ, he was quoting from the Holy Scriptures. He was talking about the house of Yahweh. Don't forget, there was no New testament at the time of Christ. EVERY book in The New testament was written AFTER Christ died. There was NO New testament when Christ  supposedly walked this earth.

When most people read this verse in the new testament at Mark 11 verse 17, they automatically get the false understanding that it is speaking about the house of Christ, but here's where Christ was quoting from; Isaiah 56

Isaiah 56

6: Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to 
Yahweh, to serve him, and to love the name of Yahweh, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

7: Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Clearly, Isaiah 56 verse 7 is speaking about the house of YAH, not Christ!


Now, let's get back to
Mark 11 and the fig tree.
                    

19: And when even was come, he went out of the city.

After showing out in Jerusalem all day they left the city.
 
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.
 
Now, they see why Christ said that to the fig tree in verse 14, above.
"no man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever". And his disciples heard it.

22
: And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Well, why didn't Christ set an example for his disciples, and, instead of cursing the fig tree and killing it, why didn't he just say, 'be figs on you, fig tree, and had faith'? What sense did it make to kill the tree when you have power to speak figs on it? He could have done it, because he just said to the tree, "no man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever", and that happened, didn't it? Whatever he would had said to the tree would had happened, right? You see, Christ should have know that it was not the season for figs and now he didn't look too smart in front of his disciples, so he gets mad at the tree and kills it. 
 
24: Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

 
Well, how come Christ didn't do just that with the fig tree? For a man to have the power to walk on water, feed thousands with just two fish and five loads of bread, and turn water into wine, what sense did it make to curse and kill the fig tree? NONE! He was embarrassed for not knowing what time it really was and took it out on the fig tree. And he is suppose to be the "son of God", and some people believe this man called J.C. is actually God in the flesh. Get real! God would have known that it was not the season for figs, wouldn't he?
 
Come on dead Jacob! Wake up and stay up! Come out of false religion, such as Christianity, Islam, and Judaism and leave them to the heathens. Don't forget, there is no such thing as true religion; ALL religions are false! Remember, Yisra'El is NOT a religion, it's a nationality! You were born a Hebrew Yisra'Elite. Why join a religion that was forced on you in the first place? Research your history.

HalleluYAH ( Praise the mighty YAH)

YAH is Righteous!

Shalom.
