Jerry Leonard, This is how I see the parable in Luke Ch.13 v. 6. a certain man represents Christ, the fig tree represents the nation of Israel and the vineyards represents the people the Jews. Verse 7 the dresser represents the Holy Spirit, the three years represents Christ 's 3 year ministry, the fruit represents the believers that believe Christ was the Messiah the Son of the Living God. Verse 8 the HE represents the Holy Spirit saying to Christ let it alone this year till I dig about it and dung it. This represents the Holy Spirit filling and giving Peter and other Apostles the power of the Holy Spirit in the calling for the Kingdom of Christ in the first part of the book of Acts. Verse 9 if it bears fruit represents the nation of Israel becoming a believing nation in Christ and if it did it would have been and if not after that cut it down. Well we know the rest of the story The Lord cut the nation of Israel down. But if the nation would have accepted the call of the Holy Spirit Christ would have come back then. For proof read Acts Chapter 3 Verses 19 thru 21. It amazes me Luke wrote this parable in chapter 13 and also Luke wrote the book of Acts,
