Pretty much, only detail missing is that it was the season for fruit. So, there is an added sense that by all natural laws the tree should have had fruit and it's lack was a particular aberration to a societythat used the fig so much.

Also, thematically, it rounds out God's domains. Up to this point, there had been miracles showing dominion over weather, matter, human life, animal life, spirits, disease and now there's plant life.

Except that the gospel of Mark specifically states that it wasn’t fig season. Why did Jesus even look for the figs when he should have known they were out of season. Why then curse the tree when it was just doing what fig trees are supposed to do? Guess Jesus can be an ass when he’s hangry.

Dammit Jim!

I'm a carpenter not a fig farmer!
