ዮሐንስ 1: 47 - 49

"ኢየሱስም፣ ናትናኤል ወደ እርሱ ሲመጣ አይቶ፣ “እነሆ፤ ተንኰል የሌለበት እውነተኛ እስራኤላዊ” አለ። ናትናኤልም “እንዴት ዐወቅኸኝ?” ሲል ጠየቀው። ኢየሱስም፣ “ከበለስ ዛፍ ሥር ሳለህ፣ ገና ፊልጶስ ሳይጠራህ አየሁህ” ሲል መለሰለት። ናትናኤልም መልሶ፣ “ረቢ አንተ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ነህ፤ አንተ የእስራኤል ንጉሥ ነህ” አለ።"

This's one of my most favorite small pieces of the Bible. But it looks so insignificant at first sight. Why was it a big deal for Nathaniel to be seen under a fig tree? So meaningful that it made him realize Jesus was the messiah.

Well simply put, the fig tree is an abundant tree in Israel. It's found in a lot of places, it bears sweet fruits call figs and fig trees are big enough they're often used for shading.

But most of all Israelites goto any random fig tree and spend some alone time under it's shades. They basically meditate, contemplate their worries and sit there with their hearts out. It's often where people go to pray to God about their concerns and emotions.

So when Jesus told Nathaniel that He saw him under the fig tree. You can imagine how deep it will hit. It's basically like saying "My eyes and ears were on you when you were pouring out your heart and emotions to me and I heard your prayers and handled your concerns"

You can kind of simulate a tiny piece of hell here on Earth by trying to fix a Gradle issue with a slow internet.
