The fig tree bears fruit twice a year.
Jesus told them before the crucifixion that when they see the Abomination of Desolation (like in Daniel) they should flee to the mountains.
They did so.. His followers fled to Pella.
Considering what was going on, the advice of Jesus seems pretty obvious to me.
Yes, there's such a thing as the winter fig, what God's Word calls 'untimely figs'.
Thing is, the disciples in Jesus' day didn't see the "abomination of desolation" fulfilled, which if they had, they surely would have written about it, because that event involves the appearance of the pseudo-Christ that is to exalt himself as God in the temple in Jerusalem. The Romans tried to seize the 2nd temple, but it burned down beforehand. So the Daniel 9:27 prophecy was never fulfilled, not even to this day.
And the last sign Jesus gave there before the parable of the fig tree, was that of His 2nd coming and gathering of His Church. There's actually a totally deceived group of Preterists that believe Jesus' 2nd coming has already happened, and that it happened in the Apostle's days! There's just no end to number of ways that some brethren deceive themselves, simply by not staying in God's Holy Writ.
