The fig tree died, by God's will and God was explaining how those that appear to be alive but bear no fruit (fruits of the Spirit) they will also die (and are dead already). The Lord cannot abide it, He cannot be with a soul determined to stray from the vine of life, herein lies freewill. The Lord has control over the tree and made it the right condition to illustrate this human condition to which we are prone, we are prone to death and averse to life. Sucks.
The text says nothing about the tree withering. You just made that up.
The text specifically says that there were no figs because it wasn't the season for it. Not because it was barren. It becomes barren after God curses it.

That's not what the text says.
So if this is just allegorical and didn't happen as described in the bible, how do you know that this doesn't apply to everything else in the bible?
It really happened, the fig tree was barren and then God made it to wither, it is a physical illustration, I'm not sure how else to say it.

So again, you made that up.
Yes He did: He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And His disciples heard it.
