UNDER THE FIG TREE | Hermit of Antipolo

“They shall all sit under their own vines, under their own fig trees, undisturbed; for the Lord of hosts has spoken.” (Micah 4:4)

Sitting under a fig tree was a symbol of peace, prosperity and plenty. People long for peace in the world. But there will never be real peace, which is shalom, since the world is dominated by the evil one. It can only come in Christ. It can only happen as people are instructed in the authentic ways of God, so that they walk in His ways (Micah 4:2).
