The meaning of Luke 13:6-9 ??

Hi to all and I believe that all the parables written all written to Israel !

In verse 6 , He spake also this parable ; A certain Man ( talking about the FATHER ) had a fig Tree planted in His vineyard , which is Israel ; and the FATHER came and sought fruit thereon , and found none .

For Israel was seeking after their own righteousness Matt 5:20.

Then the FATHER says to the dresser/Jesus of His vineyard , Behold , these 3 years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree , which is Israel , and Jesus has already preach 3 years and healed many of the Jews and John the Baptist had also preached to them at least for a year .

But the FATHER finds none , says , cut it down for it is just taking up space in the ground .

Then in verse 8 , Jesus answering the FATHER said unto Him , LORD , let it alone this year also , till I shall dig around and Fertilize , and this will extend Jesus ministry to 4 years .

Verse 9 , And if it bear Fruit unto Repentance well, and if not , then thou shall cut it
down .

Near the end on His 4 years they kill their Messiah and Israel is set aside at Acts 28:28 and have been set aside for over 2000 years and counting .

And at the end on Acts begins Paul , full bore ministry to the Gentiles and reveals the Dispensatio0n o0f the Grace of God .
 
Luke 13:6-9 suggests a four-year ministry of Jesus. Reference: Johnston M. Cheney & Stanley Ellisen, The Greatest Story, A Unique Blending of the Four Gospels, Questar Publishers, Inc., Sisters, Oregon, 1994, p. 276. I like the way you see God the Father and Jesus and Israel represented in this parable which implies Jesus' ministry is 4 years.
