The Promise of Peace and Tranquility ✡ “Every Man Shall Sit Under His Grapevine Or Fig Tree” - Israel365

"But every man shall sit under his grapevine or fig tree with no one to disturb him. For it was God of Hosts who spoke." (Micah 4:4, The Israel Bible™) "וְיָשְׁבוּ אִישׁ תַּחַת גַּפְנוֹ וְתַחַת תְּאֵנָתוֹ וְאֵין מַחֲרִיד כִּי־פִי יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת דִּבֵּר." (מיכה ד:ד) Micha’s Promise of Peace and Tranquility Figs are one of the seven agricultural species known as the shivat ha-minim that native to the Land of Israel. These seven species are first mentioned in the Torah(Bible) in the beginning of Sefer Bereishit (The Book of Genesis 3:7), when Adam and Eve cover their nakedness with fig leaves. In many ways, the Torah can be compared to a fig tree. Just as one can continuously discover figs on a fig tree since the fruits do not all ripen at the same time, similarly, one will always find new flavor and lessons in the Torah. During King Shlomo’s (King Solomon’s) reign, all of Israel lived in safety, “everyone under his own vine and under his own fig tree” (I Kings 5:5), a phrase that indicates national prosperity and calls out the fig tree as a symbol of peace and tranquility. In the above verse, the prophet Micha (Micah) promises peace and tranquility in the Land of Israel in the time of the redemption. Continue reading about the prophecies of Micha >> They are Bereaved, Maimed and Suffering from Post-Trauma Make a gift to restore a child’s broken life - two days left to ensure Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund reaches its goal Donate Now >> URGENT!
