Mark 11
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see whether perhaps he would find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 He said to it, 'May no one ever eat fruit from you again.
And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple
"My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations"?
But you have made it a den of robbers.'
they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
Hosea 9
when I saw your fathers, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree.
Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house
Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit.

Sorry, but it seems like one of your examples isn't genuine history. Mark loves his allegories and clearly we see here that he was alluding to Hosea 9.
