The vine was a major cultivated plant of biblical lands, producing grapes, raisins, syrup, and wine. Scripture also uses the vine as a figure for prosperity, Israel, the people of God, and Christ’s spiritual union with his disciples.
Biblical Usage
The vine represents prosperity, settled habitation, Israel, and the people of God. Jesus called himself the true vine, and several of his parables concern vineyards. “Under the vine and fig tree” signifies peace and domestic happiness.
