Food for thought from the recorded discussion

Judges 9:10 tells us a parable of a fig tree talking. What is significant about the words of the fig three, “Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?” What does it mean that the fig tree is not going to “be promoted” or “hold sway” over the other tress? How do trees symbolize people? How does this parable apply to people?
What is the source of the Hebrew word for fig tree? What does the Bible tell us about the symbolism of the fig tree (Prov. 27:18; Matt. 21:19-31; Matt. 24:32-34)?
