I recently read that the fig tree was a symbol of Rome "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" Let us forget (for a brief moment) what you read about Rome and go back to the Word of God: "If haply he might find any thing thereon". You know what this means, right? Two things, for sure: He didn't know what was on the tree until he got close enough to see it, and he had hoped, wanted, desired that it was bearing fruit. It wasn't Rome; It was a FIG TREE. Jesus was very unhappy when he found it to not have fruit to satisfy his hunger.
