God's Unending Supply
The central image of olive branches continuously supplying oil illustrates that God's grace is an inexhaustible resource. Commentators like John Calvin emphasize that this vision assures believers that God Himself provides a perpetual flow of strength to accomplish His work. The success of God's plan does not depend on finite human effort but on His own infinite fullness.
