John 1:50-51 ESV
Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
Nathanael recognizes that Jesus is the Son of God and believes. The fig tree symbolizes Israel and the revelation of God that went along with the first covenant. Jesus observed that Nathanael was a good Jew.
Then Jesus speaks of greater things to come as seen by Jacob in a vision long before.
Truly, truly He has opened heaven and no one can close it.
