Maybe check out Zech 3:10 or Micah 4:4 to help your understanding of "fig tree." Basically, in prophetic literature, it's a metaphor for studying the Torah and waiting for the Messiah. This is what Nathaniel was doing, and he sees the fulfillment of this prophecy when Jesus tells him that he has been under a fig tree.

Random Comments:

I love me a good Tridentine Mass... not the Novus Ordo. Whenever we went to Church with my grandfather, that's what we got to hear.

My 1928 Anglican Book of Common Prayer follows the one year lectionary. I also see that the LCMS hymnal has allowances for the 1 year lectionary.

It makes sense to have a lectionary that covers more of the Bible, but does doing this water-down the church seasons? Why not choose the most potent/memorable/pertinent scripture for the day?

I used to love these clips but now that you picked on Motown I won't ever.................. Just kidding. Great insight.

PS - Lutheran Hour came out of Detroit :)

@jwoelmer2 :  Thanks! THat was helpful and kind of makes this passage parallel to the expectant Simeon in the Temple court recognizing the Messiah in the infant Jesus --- only there, there was no fig tree but it was spelled out that he was awaiting the consolation of Israel; here, it's being "under a fig tree." Thanks!

absolute awesomeness!!!!!! Yeah, 'twould be nice to have the Wedding at Cana to link Epiphany the Day with Epiphany the season of manifestation; but your explanation of the text that we have exemplifies Epiphanyness! Thanks!

Actually, next week we have the calling of Simon and Andrew...so...yeah...so why don't we have the wedding at Cana this week, again?
