A Bad Vine Cannot Produce Good Fruit.
The gardener pleads for mercy in the third year/generation and promises to create the best conditions for the fourth year/generation to bear the fruit of repentance before the full consequences of the iniquity would be realised.
The parable may refer to a Christian who has heard the gospel of Christ by faith unto salvation. the parable reflects Jesus offering a chance for repentance and forgiveness of sin, showing his grace toward his believers. That is the period it took for a fig tree to bear fruit. The fig tree (gentile) was given the opportunity to be in the vineyard where it otherwise should not have been as well as the needed time to bear fruit.
The vinedresser, who is Jesus, does not fail and has offered to cultivate it and so it will produce fruit.
