6He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. (Luke 13:6)1Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: (Isaiah 5:1)9Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. (Luke 20:9)The vine as a figure stood for the nation in their original standing as the people of God. This at Babylon was exchanged for the Lo-Ammi (not My people) of the Prophet. The remnant brought out of Babylon is the "fig tree planted in the vineyard," to which the Lord came, finding it covered with the leaves of profession, looking for the fruit which should have been its accompaniment. Luke 20:99Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. (Luke 20:9) speaks of the nation from the beginning; yet, as bringing on its history to the Lord's own time, it speaks only of the vineyard, not of the vine itself.
