SCRIPTURE

"In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig-tree." — Zechariah 3:10 (ASV)

Under the vine and under the fig tree - Micah had already made the description of the peaceful days of Solomon (1 Kings 4:25), a symbol (Micah 4:4) of the universal fearless peace of the time of Christ. Lap.: “Christ by His passion shall not only take away iniquity, but also bring peace, delight, free communication of all things, so that all things among Christians should be common. For the law of Christ enjoins charity, forgiveness of injuries, patience, love of enemies, etc., all which bring temporal peace.”
