I can see how the conclusion is drawn. Since the tree would never bear fruit again and symbolized Jerusalem judgment, then Jerusalem and the temple would no longer be needed and would not bear its fruit to the nation. Thanks for the note from the Reformation Study Bible. Very interesting. Hey Jim,

The NLT Study Bible notes are interesting. I have the Reformation Study Bible. It makes what I think is a good point, then draws a conclusion that I'm not sure I see flowing from this text. "Jesus curses this tree for making a display but having no fruit, just as He will judge the temple (vv. 15-17) and predict its destruction (13:2). This would indicate that the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem will no longer be a goal of redemptive history. Jeremiah used figs as a symbol of judgment on Jerusalem (Jer. 24)." Before this note is a note on verse 13, "See note Matt. 21:18-20." That note on Matthew speaks of judgment on Israel, not just on the city and the temple. "Matthew condenses an incident that took place on two separate days (cf. Mark 11:12-13, 20-26). The linking of this incident with the cleansing of the temple hints at God's imminent punishment of Israel by the destruction of the city and the temple (Jer. 24:1-8)." Thanks for the comparison.

It will be interesting to see how the new ESV Study Bible compares. I know you are looking forward to it coming out soon.
