The Illustration of the Olive Tree (11:16-26)

<< The Abrahamic Covenant [Genesis Chap 12]>>

Here Paul compares the fulfillment of God’s purpose regarding the Abrahamic covenant to an olive tree. Jehovah, the root of the tree, gives life to spiritual Israel. (Isa 10:20) Jesus, the trunk of the tree, is the primary part of Abraham’s offspring. (Ga 3:16)

• The tree: the fulfillment of God’s purpose regarding the Abrahamic covenant
• The trunk: Jesus, the principal part of Abraham’s offspring
• The branches: the full number of the secondary part of Abraham’s offspring
• The “broken off” branches: natural Jews who rejected Jesus
• The “grafted in” branches: spirit-anointed Christians out of the nations
• As foretold, Abraham’s offspring​—Jesus and the 144,000—​will bring blessings “to people of the nations.”​—Ro 11:12; Ge 22:18

What do I learn about Jehovah from the way he fulfilled his purpose regarding Abraham’s offspring?

Evidently, there is no typical or antitypical olive tree. Although natural Israel did produce kings and priests, the nation did not become a kingdom of priests. Kings in Israel were prevented by law from becoming priests. Therefore, natural Israel did not serve as a typical olive tree. Paul is illustrating how God’s purpose to produce “a kingdom of priests” is fulfilled in connection with spiritual Israel. - ftn w11 05/15 p. 21.

(Jas. 4:8) Through his Word, he assures us that he will never abandon those seeking him." - w19/12 #51 p.18 par 21
