 Intercalation , a break in time 

Jesus lived day to day 

He was hungry, He could see, and so He went to the fig tree 

Key to tree cursing was all heard Him say 

"May no one eat fruit from you 

Ever again"

The disciples all heard Him say 

He entered the temple, saw through thievery of the simple 

Cleared den of robbers that day 

Chief priests and scribes heard it and knew it 

Familiar with Word Jesus speaking 

Crowd was astonished as Jesus admonished 

Sought to destroy Him, still seeking 

When evening came they went out of the city 

As they passed they saw the tree 

Withered to roots the tree had first fruits 

Christ's intercalation, still free.

Mark 11:12-20 (ESV)

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came they went out of the city.

The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree

20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
