The Fig as a Symbol of Peace ✡ "With No One To Disturb Him" - 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 Hear the verse in Hebrew va-yash-VU EEsh ta-KHAT gaf-NO ve-ta-KHAT te-ay-NA-to ve-AYN makh-REED kee pee a-do-NAI tze-VA-ot DEE-ber The Fig as a Symbol of Peace During King Shlomo's (Solomon) reign, all of Israel lived in safety, "everyone under his own vine and under his own fig tree" (I Kings 5:5). This verse connotes national prosperity and demonstrates that in Biblical tradition, fig trees represent peace and tranquility. In the above verse, the Prophet Micha (Micah) promises the same peace and tranquility in the time of redemption. Continue reading about the symbolism of the fig tree in the Bible

A Symbol of Peace ✡ "The Highest Mountains Everywhere Under The Sky Were Covered" - Israel365

When the waters had swelled much more upon the earth, all the highest mountains everywhere under the sky were covered Genesis 7:19 (The Israel Bible™) וְהַמַּיִם גָּבְרוּ מְאֹד מְאֹד עַל־הָאָרֶץ וַיְכֻסּוּ כָּל־הֶהָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים אֲשֶׁר־תַּחַת כָּל־הַשָּׁמָיִם Hear the verse in Hebrew v’-ha-MA-yim ga-v’-RU m’-OD m’-OD al ha-A-retz vai-khu-SU kol he-ha-REEM ha-g’-vo-HEEM a-sher TA-khat kol ha-sha-MA-yim A Symbol of Peace The Ramban, a leading Jewish scholar in medieval Spain, stated that during the flood of Noach (Noah) rain did not fall over the Land of Israel. Nevertheless, since there was barrier surrounding the land, the flood waters from surrounding areas poured into the Land of Israel. Because the flood waters did not enter the Land of Israel from above, the trees in the Land of Israel were not affected. For this reason, the dove that Noach sent forth from his ark was able to find an olive leaf in bloom. The image of the dove grasping an olive leaf has become a universal symbol of peace. This icon, which emerged at the re-initiation of the world, when Hashem’s (God) anger was quenched, when Noach was commanded continue mankind, emerged from the Land of Israel, the land of peace.
