Right, but the tree being out of season is key to the object lesson. The disillusionment only occurs when the tree gives the appearance of bearing fruit, only to find it is empty like the rest. It just wouldn't have the same meaning if it was peak season.

Hmm. That actually tracks, though I didn't get the implication that having leaves meant it should have had figs I suppose it would be obvious to a person of that time and place.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
