Do you think the fig tree’s purpose is to bear figs outside of fig season though?

That's a good question. I don't know for sure.

Within the realm of the created order of nature, probably not. But I'm not so sure this is about fig trees. Most all illustrations/metaphors/etc. break down upon more detailed examination.

But within what I'm feeling today, the fig tree had a lot of show (leaves), but upon closer examination, wasn't producing anything of worth.

Maybe that's not fair to leaves. I actually kind of like leaves.

(There I go breaking down the illustration again.)

Haha we can maybe say they are great for adornment but not sustenance
