He mentions the fig tree, because they abounded in Canaan, and were more valued and regarded than other trees. He that waiteth on his master, that serves him faithfully, prudently, and diligently, shall be honoroured; shall receive that respect and recompence which he deserves.

18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
