Maybe Fred Phelps is just a bit dyslexic:
the next day, when they came from Bethany, he
was hungry:
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he
came, if perhaps he might find any thing on it:
and when he came to it, he found nothing but
leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
And Jesus answered and said to it, No man eat
fruit of you hereafter forever. And his disciples
heard it.
--Mark 11:12-14
