Question:
The Story of the Fig Tree: In Chapter 5: Life in Heaven, when I
asked you how plants propagate, God gave me the story of how He told a fig
tree to stop bearing fruit and it did to illustrate how we grow plants in Heaven by
miracle.
This is the bible story.
The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in
the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he
reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for
figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.”
And his disciples heard him say it.
... In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from
the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree
you cursed has withered!”
“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly[d] I tell you, if anyone says to
this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their
heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have
received it, and it will be yours.
