Why Did Jesus Curse the Fig Tree and Cleanse the Temple of the Money Changers

Why did Jesus curse the fig tree and cleanse the Temple of the money changers on the days immediately following his triumphal entry in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday? Dr. Pitre connects the fig tree to the fall of Adam and Eve and the cleansing of the Temple to Isaiah's prophecy of future gentile eunuchs who will minister and act as priests to the Lord.
