Did God act on His threat that He made in Jer 18:9-10 in the New Testament? If not during New Testament times, when in history do you believe has God acted on this threat?

May I ask one additional question here? I am not familiar with the exegesis surrounding this passage but aren't these bible verses meant to be more of a general statement rather than a specific prophecy? Doesn't God judge nations and then either bless them or curse them? Am I WAY off???

Simply curious,

He also spoke this parable: "A certain [man] had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 "Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, 'Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?' 8 "But he answered and said to him, 'Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize [it.] 9 'And if it bears fruit, [well.] But if not, after that you can cut it down.' "
