The fig tree was a biblical symbol of Israel.
That particular tree Jesus spoke to should have borne figs as it was the time for figs.
It was barren and so was Israel.
No, no, no. The tree was a symbol of the Star Wars franchise. It had already put forth the best fruit with the original trilogy 'seasons', so JC's cursing the tree reflected the fans' reactions to the crap that Lucas tried to pass off as new and fresh. In your words, it didn't produce what it was supposed to.

That's not how you spell "pathetic".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
