- The FIG TREE!
This is one of the coolest and best and most exciting parts of LWC theory that I have studied in a long time!! Please, I invite and share this with you, so check it out.
The gist is that there are possibly different timelines. Or something like that. The fig tree that withered, may have been the fig tree in John's Gospel under which Nathanael was seen. In the Greek, it is written as the fig tree, with no prior mention of a specific fig tree Nathanael was under in that chapter. In addition, Nathanael seemed to immediately praise and recognize the Messiah even when he was seemingly introduced to Him only then in that chapter. Seems like Nathanael remembered or somehow was aware of the Christ (by a dream?) from the other timeline!
- This fig tree subtheory also would explain the "Synoptic Problem" of the Gospels. Scholars seem to have been about this for some time. The clearing of the temple coming so early in the ministry of Christ in John's Gospel, is strange because... it comes so much later in the other Gospels of Mark, Luke, and Matthew. If the idea of branching timelines and time travel are involved, this can be an interesting alternative and intriguing answer.
- It would explain the gap in time - an entire extra day is mentioned in Mark's Gospel, which differs from Matthew's and Luke's accounts where that extra day is not even mentioned, at least as far as I have read.
- It would explain why, in Mark's Gospel, that during that extra day, the Messiah looked around at all of the temple in Jerusalem. In Greek, the word is "panta". Which means everything! That would include even the Holy of Holies and other places, usually considered off-limits to most people.
An extra day used to survey and look around? In the other Gospels, it wasn't mentioned that He did this. In fact, that extra day wasn't mentioned, like it was in a separate timeline or something. Maybe the Messiah didn't need to surveil the temple in those other timelines - of course, if he "went back in time" and had looked into the temple already.
John mentions that in his Gospel that Christ already knew what was in a man. The temple and man (the human body and/or person's consciousness' form, specifically) are related in John 2:21, when the temple is specifically related to the body of Christ. If Christ already knew what was in a man, that might have meant that He already looked into the Jerusalem's temple which has correlations to the man, so perhaps He had taken an extra day in time... to surveil the temple and to have found out what was even in the hidden and holiest parts of the temple, and by extension known and found what was in a man. Then somehow went back in time, and that's how He had it figured out. Having the benefit of future knowledge and experience: that might be why the clearing of the temple is much earlier in time with John's Gospel than in the others Gospels too. Maybe he used the future knowledge to make the clearing of the temple much sooner.
- This would also explain why, in Matthew 21 the fig tree withers immediately, but in Mark, it takes an entire day for it to wither. So if the timeline had branched and "looped back around" then the fig tree may have seemed to have withered immediately in one timeline (Matthew's), but it may have given them some time to do things and come back before withering (Mark's) in another timeline.
- In Luke there is not a mention of the fig tree! But there is a mention of a triumphant group of disciples. The word "already" is used as if they had already seen wondrous works related to the triumphal entry of another timeline. Were they were rejoicing due to that? They were recorded as shouting something more like "peace and glory!" instead of "hosanna!". Hosanna apparently is from Hebrew "yasha na" like literally "Save us, please!"
"Yasha" meaning "save". "Na" meaning "please". That's not usually the cry of the triumphant, who might more appropriately exclaim "peace and glory". So that group may have been from or related to a future timeline in which they triumphed and were proclaiming peace on high instead of requesting for help on high - as the word hosanna implies!
Think of the the longest biography ever. How long is it? A very large book? A series of books? Even a whole shelf full of books about that person's life? Well, what about John 21:25: "Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written." That's a lot of books for one biographical account. How could it be possible to have so many events in one person's life, unless something like time travel and/or "inter-dimensional" travel was involved?
Check out these handwritten notes below. They are a rough attempt drawn up to diagram and figure out the connections between the "timelines"... that's if this fig tree subtheory is accurate at all. But it does seem to have some implications if it is.

As you might see, I am now trying a new format where I just post pictures of my handwritten notes. Let me know if you like this, find it useful, or would like some clarification, or if you would prefer the previous format of typed notes and less handwritten looking diagrams, by emailing me at lwcmonastery@gmail.com
Also, plants were created on Day 3 of Genesis, and the sun and moon and stars were created later on Day 4. This means that plants existed (at least in potentiality) before calendrical, solar, monthly, and sidereal measurement of time. So, this may provide insight as to why some plants, such as fig trees, relate to techniques that involve time travel. They may have some sort of preeminence to some types of flows of time which relate to conducted flow(s) of time from creations of Day 4. However/although, plants are not preeminent with respect to temporal cycles such as the day-night cycle, which was established before Day 3.
Additionally: The concept of time-manipulation is not strange to the Gospels. Check Luke 4:5. During a temptation, the devil showed the Messiah all of the kingdoms of the world in only a moment of time. In the book of Daniel 2:21, the Deity is explained to not only have the power to change times and "appointed times", but also do or have done so.
