vine. Three trees are used in the N.T. to teach important lessons. The fig is used by our Lord to show the causes of the doom of Israel. In Romans 11, Paul applies the figure of the olive tree also to Israel, and utters. solemn warning to the Gentiles; i.e. all the Gentiles upon whom My name is called (Acts 15:17), now grafted in in Israel's place. The vine speaks of Israel's temporal and spiritual blessings (Psalms 8. and Isaiah 5). That vine failed. Henceforth there is no blessing for Israel as such till He comes Who is the true Israel (Isaiah 49:8), as He is the true vine. Then shall Isaiah 27:6 be fulfilled. The interpretation of this passage is for Israel alone, though many blessed lessons may be drawn from it, by way of application. Through reading the "Church" into these verses, great confusion has resulted and grievous distress been caused to the people of God.
