🌳 The Biblical Symbol of the Olive Tree - I AM ISRAEL, David Kiern

On the day Abraham first stepped into the Promised Land, the landscape was already painted with the tree which would become the symbol of God's people.

The olive tree, deeply rooted in the soil of Israel and the pages of Scripture, is a powerful symbol of God’s covenant. Its fruit and oil serve as reminders of the Messiah’s mission to bring healing and unity to all who follow Him.

We feature olive wood from Nazareth in each of our "Grafted In" Star of David Bracelets, designed for men and for women.

Enjoy this article on the meaning of the olive tree in the Bible! (And click below to get a bracelet for yourself or the people you love).

THE BIBLICAL SYMBOL OF THE OLIVE TREE

Throughout the Bible, the olive tree holds profound symbolic and spiritual significance. It is closely tied to the identity and faith of Israel, as well as to the coming of the Messiah.

From its root to its fruit, the olive tree paints a story for the people of God.

In Jeremiah 11:16, Israel is likened to "a green olive tree, beautiful with good fruit." The tree's deep roots and ability to thrive even in harsh conditions speak of the enduring faithfulness of God to Israel. The olive tree, which can live for thousands of years, is a symbol of longevity and resilience, mirroring the steadfastness of God's promises.

The Apostle Paul, in Romans 11, uses the olive tree to explain the relationship between Jews and Gentiles within God's redemptive plan. He describes Israel as the natural branches of the olive tree and Gentile believers in Yeshua (Jesus) as wild olive branches grafted in.

This imagery reflects God’s inclusion of all nations in His plan of salvation while maintaining the root and heritage of Israel.

"You — a wild olive — were grafted in among them (Israel) and have become equal sharers in the rich root of the olive tree."

Romans 11:17

Olive oil, derived from the tree’s fruit, carries immense symbolic meaning in the Bible. It was used extensively for anointing, signifying the presence and consecration of the Holy Spirit.

Spiritually, the oil symbolizes the light and truth of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life, just as the menorah in the Tabernacle was continually kept burning with pure olive oil (Exodus 27:20).

The Hebrew word for “Messiah,” Mashiach, means “the Anointed One.” Yeshua (Jesus) is the ultimate fulfillment of this imagery. His very title speaks of being anointed by God with the Holy Spirit, signifying His role as Savior and King.

Yeshua’s connection to the olive tree is profound. As we designed our "Grafted In" Star of David Bracelet, we sought to honor that connection by sourcing olive wood from a place where Yeshua lived.

After much research, we chose the ancient groves of Nazareth, near the place He grew up. These olive wood beads, created from the yearly prunings of ancient trees and smoothly polished, make this bracelet not only beautiful but also deeply meaningful, symbolizing our bond to the Land and Messiah.
