[SUP]12 [/SUP]Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. [SUP]13 [/SUP]And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. [SUP]14 [/SUP]In response Jesus said to it, (notice, he did not say Israel, or reference Israel His context was this ONE TREE!!! ) “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.”
And His disciples heard it.
Now go back to Mathew. to see what he meant.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?”
[SUP]21 [/SUP]So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. [SUP]22 [/SUP]And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
So I ask again, where does it say ISRAEL (not the tree) will never bear fruit again??
